Experiences Of Professional Man Who
Said That Doctors Were HeartIess.
An opinion was expressed by a profess

a heartl sss lot Of people, and the man who
expressed II backed 1t up with an incident
he had witnessed in hospital.
A patient was suffering from hydropho-
bia, and the professional man, who WINS
looking at the sufferer, asked the doctor:
docs the sight Of water throw him Into
q spasmi'
"You can SEQ for yourself" replied the
doctor, and no produced glass of water,
the sight of which brought on q spasm
horrible to witness.
Some time later, when the ward where
the sufferer was lying was visited by two
physicians, one of them asked the attend

chance Of getting wellS''
"H, Is very low" was the reply. Hes

patient didn't understand, but the idea
was shocking. II was cold blooded. 1t

CLOTH JACKET.

made of crimped material or some sort OF
contrasting fabric, either figured or plain
goods.
Polka dotted taffeta is popular for waists
and comes In various colors.
Cloth of all kinds, fur and heavy trim
mings are fashionable. Fur appears every
where and to great advantage Gowns,
capes coats and hats are trimmed with it
and no doubt the manufacturers of the
cheap imitation varieties will reap large
harvest, since many women think they are
keeping closer to the fashion by wearing
sham fur, II they cannot afford tho real,
than by avoiding it altogether.
Tight fitting velvet jackets, powdered
with jet design over the shoulders and
on the tops OF the sleeves, are among the
new things recently seen at fashionable
establishment, while pretty melton cloth
oapes reaching to below the waist and hav-
ing very high fiaring collar are strapped
In narrow and gradually approaching
lines, running up from the edge of the
cape to the collar and again widening out
upon the latter. Dark satin or lowered
silk Innings complete these neat little
capes, or tartan silks are similarly en-
ployed.
The popular cape pattern is full and
short, just reaching the waist line. Cloth
is employed,as it is intended for ordinary
service rather than for dress purposes. Tue
collar is n full ruching of silk, plated
double, or with the outside of the cape
goods and the lining Of silk.
An illustration is given of a jacket OF
iron gray cloth. 1t has ripple basque
and opens diagonally. A pelerine covers
the shoulders and forms reveTs, which,
like the jacket itself, are adorned with
black silk galloon straps terminating In
jet beads. The jacket is lined with change
able surah. The hat worn with this jacket
is Of iron gray felt trimmed with gray
plumes and black velvet.
