Protected from DisapprOyal.

Years ago, when the medical profess
sion was not made easy for women, as
it Is now, one woman was studying the
eye. In Vienna. The men who were her
associates We're very unfriendly, both
professors and students. They lost no
opportunity of criticizing her, and she
was conscious that any mistake she
or In social way, would be laid up
against her.
One morning events were all unfavor-
able. and she was late in class. Know
ing how fatal such n lapse would be.
she tore along the streets. and arrived,
hot and painting, just as II delicate dem
onstration was about to begin. The
students were standing In semicircle
about the professor. and she slipped in
! among them. hoping not to be noticed.
But Il misstep brought her plunging for
ward, and her watch leaped from her
belt and fell. with clatter. at the pro-
fessor's feet. He glanced; but now
came an act of chivalry.
Another man, who had always shown
the greatest enlnity to women students
stepped forward. cody picked up the
watch as II it We're his own, put it In
his pocket. and thus drew upon him
self the fire of disapproval. After th>
lecture was over he restored 1t to Its
owner with gentle courtesy quite re
moved from his professional rudeness

Interesting Items for Our Lady
Readers.

Young ladies are wise not to overbur-
den themselves with many clothes.
even though their wardrobe contains
many tempting creations. When tray
cling, wear a tailor made skirt and coat
Of serge, Cheviot mohair or linen, with
silk or white shirt waist. The hat
should be trimmed simply with a scarf
and quills there are many becoming
varieties; the two crowned styles are
having many smart wearers. Select
one or two pretty shirt waists with ap-
propriate stocks and slight summery
gown made rather dressy. This will
be required for some afternoon and
evening occasions. If the stay is of
short duration, would not take any
