AN ELEGANT AFTERNOON COSTUME.

Tie cuHs, like the high fiaring collar, are
made OF black satin appliqued on blue taf-
feta. with a fine black and gold gimp,
which also surrounds the blue revere nd
the basque.
Fashions come and go, accepted and worn
with enthusiasm, and sink into oblivion.
but the Independent blouse and nodice has
so irgratiated itself with the public that
new ideas in form and trimming are con-
stantly evolved.
In Oriental Style.
The latest, which we illustrate today, has
decided leaning toward oriental taste,
since it is composed of four large silk,
Turkish or bandana kerchiefs. The CEN
ter square of these has colored palmleaf
design on black ground, the border con-
sists Of yellow design on bright gold
ground, with fecks Of red and turquoise
blue here and there, and the outside hem is
a bright red.
The lining for this blouse Is quite tight
lifting and boned, so that the back and
sides are adjusted to the figure. The ker-
chiefs are so draped that the red hem
forms yoke on the back as well as the
front and is defined by the yellow border
which forms point on either side of the
front as we'll as the back. The red hem Is
turned in on the center oil the front and the
fullness falls slightly over both sides of the
tight-fitting vest of white lace, deliberately
Turkish figure on a lining of bright rel
satin. At the back the kerchlefs are ar
ranged to form corners like the front and
the apparent yoke of red extends into q
deep ard slender point down the back
The sleeve has the corner of the 'kerchief
at the upper arm. showing some of the red
on either side of the shoulder and finishing
at the wrist with an appliqued band of yell
low border and full pleating Of red.
Completing the Effect.
The plain stiff standing collar also con-
sists of the yellow border and is surmount-
ed by pleated ruching of red, which encir-
cles the neck like the petals of a poppy
To complete the oriental effect, a sash Of
soft red silk, with ends Of appliqued yellow
kerchief borders and terminating in a
long knotted red fringe, is fastened loosely
around the waist and knots at one side of
the fullness in front, dropping in long
graceful loops below the knees
This blouse, though highly colored, Is ex-
ceedingiy artistic, and has the advantage
OF being easily initiated by any woman
whose good taste is aided by deft fingers

FIRST Woman Doctor.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
The first qualified lady doctor in Europe.

woman named Agnodice. In the year r. G.
800 she disguised herself as q man and he

woman to do. She afterward practical
among the women Of Athens with extraor-
binary success. But her secret becoming
known. she was prosecuted for studying
and pracdcing medicine illegally. The
Athenfan women, however, raised SO furi-
GUS an agitation in consequence that the
case was dropped and the law repealed

men who obtained the degree of doctor of
medicine and practiced in Europe before

famous University Of Bologna. Since then
two other ladies have been professors of
medical subjects in the same university
Anna Mangolini (anatomy) and DR.. Maria
dele Dome (obstetric medicine), the latter
being appointed in 1899. In the year 1911
an edict was issued in France forbiddinR
surgeons and female surgeons to practice

These female surgeons are again referred

also very charming, and one of pink and

Danger i'm Wells.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A service has been done to women gen.
orally by DR.. G. A. Wood Of Chicago in
tests made by him with systematic care
to determine the danger. il any, in the
wearing of wells. For this purpose he Sc
lected a dozen typical specimens Of the ar
ticle and applied the ordinary tests of
ability to read while wearing them, and
these tests showed that every description
Of veil affects more or less the ability to
see distinctly, both in the distance and
near at hand, the most Objectionable being
the dotted sort. Other things being equal,
vision is interfered with in direct proper
ton to the number of meshes per square
inch, and the texture of the material also
plays an important part in the matter
Thus, when the sides of the mesh are single
compact threads the eye is much less en-
barrassed than when the double threads
are used, the least Objectionable veil, on
the whole. being that which is without dots,
sprays or other figures, but with large and
regular meshes made with single and COM
pact threads. DR.. Wood pertinently re-
marks that while eye troubles do not neces-
sarily result from wearing veils-for the
healthy eye is as able as any other part of
the body to resist legitimate strain-weak
eyes are injured by them.

Style.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
VIENNA. March 10. 1898.
The new skirt is difficult to make and
hang and therefore affords the dressmaker
fine opportunity to show what can be
done in the way of hang, style and making.
The best hanging skirts have the lining
and the outside made separately; though
attached together to the same belt:
The silk and percaline lining is cut with
five cores making it three and one-half
yards IN width, and has a stiff facing eight
inches wide and three fluffy ruffles of silk
on the inside. Many models show the lin
ing cut fifteen inches shorter than the cut
side material, and heightened by an &C.
cordion-pleated ruffle Of the goods. This
gives the particularly clinging effect now
demanded in all new gowns

around briskly, going to the window and
inhaling the fresh air deeply through the

the fact that house air. with its many i'm

lifelessness, is one of the principal prrdis-

fired to bed, if the shoulders are kept well
covered and the head lightly protected, the
windows may be opened and the room
flushed with fresh air without any special
risk, provided the current does Tot strike
