WILL THE PROFESSIONAL WOMAN OF
 THE NEW CENTURY BE INTERVIEWED

latter was unable to fill appointments he would send as a substitute the young Nir- ginia woman, who could repeat every word of his lecture. pr. Haley practiced four years in Westehester, and she is very fond of Pennsylvania, where her college and professional life was spent.
 In addition to her dental work, Dr. Ha- ley gives two lectures every week to the students at the Birmingham Dental Col lege. She has the most attractive offices in the Chalifoux building, and they are more like an artist studio than dental of fees. The unattracuve furniture is en- tirely screened from view, and one glfmpses only coZy corners and easy chairs and books and a wall hung with etchings. Dr. Haley is not only distinguished in her pro- fession, but she is personally charming woman, who talks any and all subjects in a most delightful vein.
 Yesterday afternoon she was a guest of the Woman's Club and was invited to give a talk before the club women, who have long been anxious to have the pleasure of hearing her. Dr. Haley's subject was Temperament: It's Relation to Dentist ry." She discussed it in a thoroughly sci entific manner. and her talk while 1nfor- nal, treated of a subject that, handled so comprehensively as 1t was, classed 1t with the group of notably instructive lectures that have been given by distinguished lec- turers from time to time before the Wo- mans Club.
 '"There is a power acting differently in each individual which determines irreyo- cably and absolutely his type of personai- ty," said Dr. Haley. '"The vague name, temperament is given to that special na- ture which appears in the individual, whereby one is full of impulse where an- other is calm one is rapid of~thought and motion where another is slow; one Is san- guine in all his undertakings, where an other is cautious and doubtful; it is, in fact, a summing up of all the physical and mental peculiarities.
 ''These differences depend uponi first, he- redity; second, environment and training. Man is many y-sided@zvery versatile in his range of capabilities, and finus his highest and truest development in relations where mind and body are harmoniously employ ed; where he finds a complete adaptation of his powers, both mental and physical
 Dr. Haley explained the different classi- fications of temperament-that of the an- cients into the choleric, the phlegmatic. the melanchoMc and the sanguineous: Of medical writers into the acid, the alkaline and the neutral and of some French phys iologists into the motive, the vital and the mental She dwelt mournfully upon the most widely known and more adaptable classification of the bilious, the sanguine, the nervous and the lymphatic, giving description of the appearance and the men tai tendencies of each type, and the gen. eral form, the face, the hand, the coloring and lastly, the mental habit
 She explained how to tell the basic tenn perament-that each writer has a different guide, as the eyes, the coloring, the form etc. but that all these are wrong, because most of these may change with environ ment and physical habit, and that the only way to distinguish is by the most impor- tant organs in the body-the teeth.
