And it is only fifty seven years since Elizabeth Blackwell. ap- plying for permission to win medical diploma. was refused by q dozen col leges, one of which added to its re fusal the interesting statement that it would be unbecoming and immoral to see q woman instructed in the nature and laws of her organism Now. in the United States alone, there are seven medical colleges for women besides the mems colleges to which they are admit ted. over 1.NO are practcing physicians and surgeons. and the theories for and against such things are being forgot ten fin the light of their actual work.

THE SIMPLE HOUSE.
How It May Re Achieved Ln an Easy.
 Natural Way.

How 1t May He Achieved kn an Easy.
 Natural Way.
 The simple house must not only be simple, but it must be good. It's sim plicity is not that of mere baroness. That is something quite different. Sim plicity in house design does not mean a mere denuding of ornament or its de- liberate omission. It means that the house must be designed in simple way that is also beautiful. Simplicity of design is based on structural devel- opment. In the hands of the skilled de signer these structural lines become also lines of beauty. The construction. therefore. becomes beautiful construc- ton. and the simple house is achieved ill q natural. beautiful way.
 Fairness, severity, commonplace ness. barrenness. must not be confused with simplicity. There must be artis- pletely wanting in external merit A fussy house will not necessarily be made beautiful by stripping it of it's ornament. It may be bettered-at least 1t will be rid of unnecessary parts. The evil is more deeply rooted than that It lies in the very bone and sinew of the house, and the remedy, if there can be remedy, must be applied to the whole structure.
 Mere plainness in house building has no positive qualities of excellence. A house that is merely plain and with no other quality has nothing else to rec ommend it. The simple house, on the other hand has beauty in it's simplici- ty. beauty due to it's fine lines and to the harmony of all the parts-- American Homes and Gardens.

TOILET TIPS.

Be careful to use only the mlldest, blandest. purest. unscented soaps when bathing
 Rose water, eight ounces. and tine ture of benzoin. two drams, make one of the best skin tonics and whiteners.
 The orange stick is the only nail cleaner necessary. The stick properly pointed will not ipjure the enamel or the cuticle around the nail.
 To have the best possible effect from face creams the surface of the skin must be thoroughly dry. Any moisture will prevent the pores from absorbing the cream.
 A per cent solution of boracic acid is invaluable as a bath for tired eyes. It is also exceedingly effective to use as bath for the face if the skin has become muddy.
 Improper bathing-that Is, bathing that is only half portion of a clean ing-will cause the complexion to be- come muddy and yellow, just as im- proper and partial laundering will ruin a fine piece of linen.
