Sixty years ago no woman in Ameri-
ca, so far as is known, had ever been
regularly accredited as an authoized

unlikely that women would be allowed

medicine has proved the most gener-
ally available for women. There are
now many thousand physicians of ev-
cry school practising medicine success
fully in America and England, and
even to some extent in foreign coun-
tries. Indeed, a medical diploma has
proved invaluable to many women mis-
sionaries, giving them admission to the
harems of Turkey. India and China,
which would otherwise have been
closed to them.
While there are thousands of sue
cessful physicians, there are few hun
dred successful clergywomen. who have
ministered acceptably to congregations
and done credit to their pastorates.
But in law comparatively few women
have been able to support themselves
by the practice of the profession. In
exceptional cases they have done so.

ascertained, always wrote their name

"Resuming our narrative of the Nc
Kinleys, John, son of the immigrant,
was born about 1928 and in his day
was one OF the foremost men of York
county. He became a large land own
er and frequently figures in important
business transactions. When hostili-
ties broke out with the mother country
he staunchly supported the revolution
and was made a wagon master for
Chanceford township by the committee
OF safety He died on his estates Feb.
Is. 1893, being survived by his widow,
Margaret, an only son David, great
grandfather of the president, and
daughters Esther, Jean. Elisabeth and
Susan. The widow subsequently mar
ried Thomas McCulloch. She died In
the winter OF 1881.
This leads us down to David Nc
Kinley, grandson of the immigrant and
great-grandfather of the president He
was born on the old homestead in
Chanceford township May 16. 1856.
In 1776 he enlisted in Capt. Reeds
company OF Ferrymen in the war Of
the revolution. This was the Seventh
company OF the Eighth battalion of
YORK county militia. The militiamen,
1t should be remembered, were called
out in emergencies and were drafted
in sections for active service, making
what were then called tours of SER
vice. In this way nearly all the mill
tia OF Pennsylvania saw many tours of
service. much hard fighting and the
most perilous kind of military life.
The local historians of York county
had been in correspondence with the
president respecting his York county
antecedents. He had expressed him
self as much gratifled by their re-
searches and interest in his ancestry
and faithfully promised at an oppor-
tune time to visit the scenes of his
ancestral abode. Several dates for the
proposed visit were partly agreed on.
and great preparations for the visit
were in prospect. when the Spanish
war compelled successive postpone
ments of the visit

that muster roll of the company OF

A Becoming Home Gown.

Comfortable home gowns, that are
tasteful and becoming at the same
time that they can be slipped on with
ease, are essential to every woman's
outfit. The charming May Manton

the merit of being in the latest style.

which threads Of gold are woven, but

slde-backs and under-arm cores that
curve to the figure and give a princess
effect. The full front is tucked to yoke

attached under the fronts proper,
which are turned back to form revers.

horseman selects the lady whom he de-
sires to favor him in this manner.

apple race" On the course over which

flannel woven in pretty fancy plaid,
collars, cuffs and belt being OF black
velvet, but plain flannel, corduroy, vel
veteen, striped flannel, cashmere and

The foundation. or fitted lining, is
snugly fitted and closes at the centre
front. The waist proper is laid In box
pleats that are stitched at their under
folds and extend from the neck and
shoulders, the closing being effected
by means of buttons and buttonholes
worked through the pleat at the centre
front. The two scanned sleeves are in

Roth Now and smart.

DO you know what causes the sleek,
trim effect of smart hat and why the
smooth surface OF the breast plumage,
which lies along the left side of the
Rrim remains smooth and unruhled? 1t
because of the little cover of tulle
hich covers the plumage like a close
ting envelope. Very likely you have
noticed 1t. but 1t is there, other
Sc you could scarcely have been out
INA sea breeze or high wind without
rufTiing and disturbing the short, soft
breast feathers. If the plumage is
white very likely the veil also is white.
But fine black veil on a white breast
Of feathers is sometimes used. When
the white plumage is speckled with
black. you notice 1t has a veil on. This
detail of millinery is called the plu-
mage veil.

Full ThrORts.

The plump matron with rounded con-
tour and full throat often finds it diff
cult to buy a silken stock ready made.
The stock may be low or high, it is
nearly always pinching tight, and not
to be thought of save as an inducement
to apoplexy. Sometimes cutting away
the upper edge enlarges the surface, so
as to make 1t fit. Sometimes a chou or
rosette of tulle or ribbon bow with
loops is stitched to one end, and the
hooks that fasten the collar are then
moved forward under the bow. This
gives lee way, and the stock then fits
reasonably; but it lacks the style of a
smooth packed stock. One must not
choke, and yet one would gladly be
smart in the matter of neck-dressing.
Perhaps the dealers in such pretty arti-
cles of neckwear will begin to supply
extra long models.
