Territorial Medical BoaId.
ICOMMUNIcATED.

1 Dr. S. D. Bell, formerly of Penn | sylvania, now of Ph snIx, and Dr. Alex Shaw Porter, of the U. $. army, appeared before the territorial board of medical examiners on Nov. 22 and g, and passed q satisfactory examination, for which they re- ceived certificates enabling them to practice medicine Tn Arizona.
 The examination it is said, was just, equitable and comprehensive, but very tedious, and, no doubt, with further experience the ex- aminers will ind that one half the questions will be sufficient for them to guage the knowle dge of the can didate. Nevertheless the questions gwen were those of which one would expect a general practitioner to show at least a reading knowledge. There were two specialties in which an examination was held, namely: Gynecology and Neurology, Ire spectively Diseases of Women and the Nervous Systeln). There were the hardest papers served and still the public has right to believe that intelligent practitionerers know something of these diseases, which each and every physician try to cure especially the former, as diseases Of women constitutes large pro portion of practice, and, as regards the latter, or nervous diseases. our counties pay out annually thOus- ands of dollars in commitment of the insane, who are a large part of this this branch of medicine.
 This board of medical examiners, has received a great deal of harsh criticism from, not only practitioners who have and have not failed to pass 1t; but by the public who know very little about such matters.
 The law governing this board passed the territorial legislature on March Is, 1897, and since that time, there have been 3 or i examinations with about fifteen to twenty appli- cants, three have failed. This Is a very small percentage when We compare 1t with the records of other similar boards.
 The board IS a very strong one. It consists of men af character, force, individuality, learning, and good hard sense. They know their responsibility, and are unwilling to shirk it. They are all men of ex- perience and good judgment, and no one can question reasonably their honesty of purpose.
 This board should stand. and the law if represents and executes, should be faithfully supported by those concerned. This law is one of the best of the kind in the United States, protecting not only the phy- sician and surgeon, as it is designed to do, but also weak, innocent and wavering public, only too willing to be deceived by interruptions and dangerous quacks and advertising charlatans.

OF white crepe de chine, worn by q beauti-
ful young matron, on it are embroid cred
exquisitely delicate pink rose buds that
look as though scattered over the fabric;
it is encircled round the bottom by deep

lace over pink silk. The sleeves look like

Almost any dish which had to recon-

But dish OF parrots tongues which had

no crepe is ever used.
Silk pettlcoats are being made with sew

Lace Jackets and Over
BOdieeS.

The jackets were really intended mere
ly to be worn as bodices during the first
part of the season, but some of fas shion S
leaders found that they would look ex-
tremely we'll over silk MULE and mousse
line de sole creations. AS a result, they
mad the shape slightly changed, making
them drop slightly below the waist line,
and all have short position backs and are

front, showing soft vests.
Young women wear, usually, white lace
jackets, but their mothers and grand

Ere long it is predicted that all silk en-
broidery will drive ont that done with
paillettes and imitation jewels, as this
style has been completely overdone. AS a
result it may truly be said to be extremely
vulgar, excepting when the orkmanshlp
is very superior. However, even now the
best dressed women are selecting in pre-
ference to all gay effects embroideries
done on black in steel or silver, and on
white satin l must admit shat heavy tin
sci EN- broidery is still in vogue.
The newest brushes, CONT bs, etc., for my
lady's dressing table are made in tur-
Quoise or coral on tortoise shell. They
come in beautiful designs, and yet gold'
silver or ivory retain their place In popu-
lar favor, gold and silver being so service
able, but ivory breaks easily. However, no
bride could have loveller set of brushes,
ETC., than those l once saw OF ivory, on
the backs was moHt artistic mono
gram executed in tn quoise blue enamel,
just outlined with thread of gold. An
other set, made of tortoise shell, had the
crest done in dull gold.
AT this season our house hold linen re-
ceives its due share of attention and for
the moment quilts are interesting topics
OF conversation, as our artistic needle
women produce many wonderful specl-
mems, showing rare skill and ingenuity.
1 have just heard of linen quilt Of fine
quality, and on it is wrought an odd de-
sign conspicuous for its graceful ara
besques grouped round a great flower bas-
ket; gold bobbin silk is employed. Another
is he mstitched quilt in pure white linen,
remarkable example of old Spanish
work, for on the white ground are to be
seen huge star, set of scales and deli
cate traceries defined with light stems,
tendrils and small flowers, the whole de-
sign enlivened by birds that appear to be
flying in all directions. The prevailing
colors used are yellow, blue and red.
These are blended in the loose twist stitch
and French knots of the needlework as
graceful as possible.

More and more interesting grow the
color studies in millinery. Seemingly i'm
possible hues and tones are put together
on hats to create harmonious whole.
but these daring color blendings sound
worse than they look. In one instance
there is union of bluet and purple, the
former showing a purplish tinge which
makes accord possible. Red hats have
been in favor and very becoming to many.
Fashion has again veered around TO
laces, which for time were supplanted
by tissues. Tulle and chiffon are much
worn mixed with lace OF different grades.
A cream lace decorates large Panama
Leghorn hat which may be worn on an
outdoor occasion or in carriage with
light gown of organdy, dimity or any
gauzy textured material. The straw is
new in weave and looks very much like
coarse Leghorn.
The broad brim is tackled against the
crown at the back and covered with white
and purple lilacs and a rosette of peacock
blue ribbon. The ribbon is twisted around
the crown and made into another large
rosette at the right side. The lace is ar
ranged over the twists of ribbon in
standing and a dropping friIl. the latter
extending quite to the edge.
For young lady there is a fine cream
white chip in mod fled poke style, the
crown OF which is almost covered with
PINK roses, bows, black wings and chiffon.
In large dressy hat of Milan straw the
brim is united with high black crow
Cream lace is arranged to stand in friIl
about the crown and TO fall softly over
the brim, bow OF the lace being formed
at the back. A soft knot OF peacock-b blue
taffeta IS overshadowed at the right side
by bunch of white plumes and a bunch
of vioiets are fixed at ths opposite side.
Pink roses are arranged with soft lace at
the back.
The bluet and purple com mbinations are
also seen onwhite Nea apolitan straw sailors.
A fancy bow OF twisted loops OF taffeta
ribbon OF both colors is arranged al the
right side. while at the left side are clus-
ters of white roses and bluets. Under the
brim at the back is more flowers and foli-
age and twist OF ribbon.
The sailor hats seem to be the favorite
for young ladies and misses, and some are
very prettily trimmed, while others of
fine Milan straw are worn on outing occa-
sions, and even appear when least ex-
pected, and are severely plain when the
costume calls for a more dressy hat.
Rather a picturesque-looking hat is OF
large shape in white chip with a high
crown. White moire ribbon is arranged
about the crown, formed at the left side
in a bow, from which spring five white
tips. Under the brim a the left side OF
the front bunch OF pink roses nestles
against the hair.
There is a simple and dainty white
straw sailor that may be appropriately
worn with a bluet canvas blazer or Eton
suit. Bluet tule rosettes set with pretty
pin circle the crown, and in front at eacn
aide rises a pair of white wings. Small
rosettes are tucked under the brim at
the back.

What Is the Best Lead?

few weeks ago We received and answered
the question what we would lead from the hand
gwen below. Jonn 7. Mitchell in the Chicago
Times Herald does not agree with us the
"proper lead" But the following from his
pen will be of interest to our many whist
readers:
A hand held several weeks ago at the Scran-
ton Whist Cub was passed around among
some thirty-one whist editors and experts
by J. w. Dusenbury for an opinion as to the
proper lead. 1t somewhat remarka BILE
hand, and it is gratifying TO note lin recent
issue of the Scranton Tribune) that nearly half
(ffteen) of the editors and experts were greed
on the proper lead, and only four differeu t
leads were suggested in all. The hand was as
follows:
Hearts declared trumps.
Clubs-A.
hearts-A, X, 9, l.
Spades-A, 8, 2.
Diamonds-s, j, 8, s, q
The fifteen who named the four of hearts as
the lead were: Fisher Ames, Newton, Mass :;
Charles E. Coffin, Indianapolis; T. E. Olis,
Newark. N. j.; w. H. Barney, Providence; B.
ID. Kribb N, St. Louis; G. L. Bum. ST. Paul

New York; E. c. Fletcher. Newton; Whist
Publishing Company, Milwaukee; H. Jones
(Cayendish), London; J. II. Baldwin, Chicago;
J. E. Schwab, Nashville

named by c. d. Hamilton, Easton, and NJ c.

The king of hearts was named by r. F. Fos-
ter New York; T. Schwarz, Chicago, and w
s. Fenollosa, Salem.
The four of hearts or ace of diamonds by T.
A. Whelan, Baltimore.
The ace of diamonds by Walter Read, To-
ronto.
Giving the gentlemen whose opinions ere di
vided TWO ballots, the vote would stand thus:
Five Of diamonds. .................11 IL
King Of hearts. .......,......... &
Ace OF diamonds. ...... 2
The most noticeable feature in the vote is
that next to the regulation lead of the four of
hearts comes the fourth best lead from ace
and four Others ms stead of the second regula-
tion lead OF the ace of die monds, which actu-
ally comes last. 1t is evident that the ace lead
is rapid being shelved. Another noticeable
feature is that opponents of opposite schools

the same school vote for different caros.
