Unfortunately. the number Of women

know that the most approved way OF
wearing them is far back on the head
and encircling the high eoiffure. The

that teweled aigrettes. either alone or

The diamond aigrettes are mostly in

About Female Physicians.

A curious feature of pagan and semi
civilized life that some evangelists have
declared to be a special dispensation of
Providence is the strict observance of
customs which in the course of years ne
cessitate the introduction of methods of
the most civilized nations. An extraor-
dinary illustration of this fact is being
made manifest in southeastern Europe
In the Mohammedan countries, such as
the Balkan states and Turkey, women
are not allowed to see any men except
ing husbands, fathers, brothers or sons
and even when sick cannot be seen by
native physicians.
In cases of Illness the husband or a
slave tells the symptoms to the medical
practitioner, who gives the remedies and
directions to the go-between. In the next
country Austro-Hungary where a
Christian civilization Is supposed to OBJ
tain, the idea of the last century are still
largely In evidence. In Austria proper
woman cannot attend a college. study
medicine or obtain degree as physician
In Hungary, which is jar more liberal
and progressive. a different order prevails
and women attend college. become doc
tors and practice. the same as in the
United States. The new Balkan states,
which no longer stagger beneath the
ing rapidly and now demand the services
of Christian physicians. The old Mo-
hammedan prejudice remains. however,
resulting in a large demand for women
physicians to attend the Mohammedan
women of those states. Already several
medical missionaries have taken advant-
age of this condition of affairs and have
each built up an extensive practice in the
Balkan cities.
In Bosnia. under the Austrian rule. the
Austrian government has been forced by
public opinion to appoint woman ply
sician, DR.. Theodore Krayewska, to prac-
tice in one of the most populous districts.
As the law stands. she has to be appoint
ed as an army surgeon, with the rank,
uniform and pay of a captain. So by one
stroke of the pen Austria has recognized
the higher education of woman, her
rights to follow a profession and her
capability to be member of the army.

Salvation Army at the Front.

Adjutant James Brookes. of Mime
apoiis, Mimi, arrived in the city yester-
day, en- route for Tampa, where he will
lead the second expedition of the Saliva
ton Army, to assist the defenders of the
nation there encamped in the various
ways which lay in their power. The ad-
iutant will be assisted by two men who
are skilled in nursing. and they will prob
ably go to Cuba to look after the soldiers

The Salvation Army Is contemplating
4 general movement to the front. and
before many days there will be large
number of the red-shirted fraternity in
the camps and among the crews Of those
who are fighting the Spaniards.
Brigadier Alice Lewis and Ensign Annie
Sands Anderson are now at Tampa. where
they are experimenting operations under
the instructions of the leaders in New
York. This Is the first time the army has
had an opportunity In this country to
float its naval and military league. The
league now operates successfully among
the army and navy of England. In which
Il has thousands Of members. and 1t Is
recognized by Lord W0lseley as one of
the most potent of the factors for good
which are at work aHnng the fighting

There are. perhaps. larger number Of
spinsters in Bermuda in proportion to the
population than in any other place on this
side of the Atlantic, and 1t is a curious
fact that this is the law of the land.
The semi-tropicai climate of the islands
and their isolation have made of the in
habitants of English stock a quiet, al
most sluggish, folk. of simplicity near
ly arcadian. The women, especially.
many of whom live very narrow lives.
never leaving these islands. are remark
able for their old-fashioned hospitality
and a natural ease of manner which
seems to arise from an entire faith in
those with whom they come in contact.
Perhaps the fact that it would be very
difficult for criminal to escape from the
islands may account for II. but, at any
rate. crime Is very rare there.
Bermuda women are excellent house
wives. and bring up large families of
children, some of the most favored young
folk being sent to the United States for
educational advantages. In matters of
etiquette they are far more strict than
Americans. AS a rule. they are well-to-
do, and live comfortably. while some of
them possess ample means and enjoy
much luxury. In Bermuda, as in England.

some of the descendants of the first set.
tiers still possess lands which have never
passed out of their families. 1t Is just
this conservatism about property which
causes the suDerabundance of spinsters
No allen car acquire a title to land in
Bermuda, either by purchase or Inherit
ance. This is chiefly a precautionary
measure against the Portuguese, who
flock to the country and go IN largely for
onion growing. But the law provides that
If a woman marries a foreigner she shall
lose her landed property. and shall also
become capable of inheriting any. This
law is naturally not popular with the la
dies, who see their brothers mate with
Americans and other aliens, and would
fain have the same liberty Occasionally
Bermudan girls renounce their birth
rights for loves sake: but. as a rule the
charms of penniless maidens are not suf-
ficient for young men to desire them for
wives, and thus many girls are doomed
to single blessedness in Bermuda simply
by the law of the land.
