tifcate as hospital ambulance surgeon
is, so far as is known, the first one
ever granted to a woman anywhere
at any time.
When she got her place in the hos
pital last January she told those who
asked her that she intended to do duty
when her turn came to be ambulance
surgeon and run to hurry calls like
a man, and she has kept her word. The
ambulance surgeon must serve every
day from 9 till o'clock for six months.
When her turn came she mounted the
ambulance's back seat and ratified of
to answer a call, fearlessly and with
dignity and with no more fuss than
as if women doctors had been acting as
ambulance surgeons ever since the days
of Eve. She did not act as if she was
mentally calling all the world to wit
ness the extraordinary part she, a
woman DR.. Emily Dunning, was play
ing. Blessed be the woman who does
things without fuss
The story of her first days experience

ing one. AT 10 in the morning a call
came for the Gouverneur hospital am
bulance The girl surgeon jumped into
it and said, go ahead, Tom to the
driver 1t ratified up in a hurry to the
place whence the call had come. A
pretty girl of twenty-three sat in the
surgeons seat, her arms through the
leather straps hanging from the top
of the vehicle. She wore eyeglasses,
the regulation surgeons cap and had
a red cross on the left sleeve of her
white shirt waist The crowd stared,
the policeman stared, everybody stared
as the young lady swung herself out of
the ambulance and approached the
spot where Greek peddler lay with a
broken leg. A beer wagon had knocked
him and his push cart down and run
over him and crushed one of his lower
limbs.
She carried a black satchel of surgical
instruments and requirements. The in
jured man lay under a bootblacks

TISSUE PAPER HATS.

The new tissue paper millinery is
both easy to construct and easily
trimmed. Any deft fingered woman
can build a dashing little bonnet for
herself
Perhaps the most charming effects
are gained by using the tissue braid
upon wire frame. Here the paper is
cut in narrow strips, according to the
width of braid desired and plated like
strands of fiat hat straw.
A somewhat quicker method is TO
cover the frame with paper and paste
the braid or trimming upon this; but
the results are much less satisfactory.
The fashionable cornfiower tonnes
can be initiated very successfully in
tissue paper. The exact purple blue
shade of the flower should be secured
Cover the toque frame with a wide
braid and trim with sprays of the an
propriate blossom
In general way it may be said that
turbans and small hats are apt to prove
more successful than the larger shapes
The reason for this is that the paDer
braids are considerably thicker than
the plated straw used in hat making
If the brim projects far out above the
face the effect unless one is especially
adept, is likely to prove a bit heavy.
The paper hat is used principally for
garden fetes and other al fresco occa-
sions. It also makes a delightful favor
for summer cotillons.

addressed nearly tainted. But do you

told us all about her dog, all about her
cat, all about her family, and then
when patience was about exhausted
she suddenly jumped up and said:

She was gone for several minutes,

Another call to the congested district.
A policeman had found in a hallway
a foreign sailor who appeared to be
suffering from some mysterious all

ors' boarding house, but DR.. Emily
Dunning did not hesitate q second to
enter it and move through a crowd of
longshoremen to the patient. They
stared in amazement at her but made
way for her respectfully. She whipped
out a stethoscope, examined the sick

tackled him as though he had been a

mended his head and left him for the
policeman to take care of.
The girl surgeon had six ambulance
calls that first day ION the bus" One
was to a man who had heat prostra-
ton. Another was to an insane woman
who had to be removed from police
station to hospital. Never once did the
young woman doctor lose her nerve or
hesitate She knew exactly what to do
in each case and did it instantly.
She herself does not talk of her
patients or her exploits. The public
medical board whose servant she is
has given her orders not to talk about
her professional work, and that, too
is right. for city hospital surgeon is
doctor. Nevertheless a million people
must have read next morning of that

bulance of a woman doctor. must have
marveled at her perfect skill and cool
ness. But the time is not far off when
the race will no longer wonder at a
woman who is a master in any of the
professions. The woman of the COM

Meantime what those who witnessed

young men included. Here is what
some of them said: The policeman
who helped her with the broken leg
gazed after the departing ambulance
and remarked: We'll, I'll be darned
Say. she's all right. Never saw any
thing more businesslike. She'll do"
The driver of the ambulance said:
She's all right, and she's got nerve
enough for anybody. Smart woman
too. I'd rather have her treat me than
any of the young doctors in the house
and, say, if any one ever insults her or
says anything to her she resents while
I'm driving for her, I'll knock his head
off"
What a brother surgeon said: Or
Dunning knows her business and she
appears to have plenty of good sense.
Any one who thinks she will balk when
it comes to a hard case will be mis-
taken"
What she herself says: IT am anxious
for good, hard work, for I believe a
woman is just as well qualified as a
man to do that kind of work"
So why not?

DR.. EMILY DUNNlNG.
Ambulance Surgeon

~ OUVERNEUR HOSPITAL is in
81 New York city and the district
u 3 patrolled by its ambulances is
~ one of the most crowded as well
as toughest in the great town.
Young doctors are appointed to its
medical staff by competitive examina-
ton.
Among the physicians who took the
examination last winter for appoint
ment as inferno to Gouverneur hospital
was a fine and handsome young lady,
DR.. Emily Dunning. She was well ed
ucated. In 1897 she was graduated
from the scientific department of Cor
nell university and received her de-
gree as B. S. In the autumn following
she entered the medical department of
the university and ground away four
years longer, this time on bones, It's
sues, chemistry and medicines. At the
end of the time she was graduated
again, now with an NJ. d. to her name,
besides the B. S. What is more, she
stood at the head of the whole class
in medical scholarship, a class of both
men and women.
After Dr. Emily Dunning was grad
uated as NJ D. in 1901 she rested a few
months following her eight strenuous
years of study. Then she entered the
office of DR.. Mary Putnam jacob in
New York, working and studying still
There she remained till she took the
competitive examination and got her
appointment as one of the surgeons of
Gouverneur hospital. The appoint
ments were made from applicants of
the first rank in the list, and among
these DR.. Dunning was fourth She got
her appointment as hospital inferno last
January.
She served six months as house
physician. Then came the next step.
