Women Doctors In Germany.

Professor Won Bergman, the great
German surgeon who attended the EN-

and had such frightful quarrel with
Morell Mackenzie, has been telling the
editor of a medical journal that 81 am

is that $50 long as women are unaSle

Mr.. Samuel Durgin who is

of recent invention of a former
townsman, Mr.. R. B. Carpenter
of Manchester, N. H., which re-

iron which may be applied to

lows instant release of the horse
in case of accident and dispenses
with the old way of winding har-
ness straps around thills. While
there are other kinds of hold
back irons, it is learned from good
authority that Mr.. Carpenters
are-conceded to be the best made
and the most accurate device of
the kind on the market. For the
past seven years Mr.. Carpenter
has been employed in the office
of the Amoskeag Manufacturing
Co., which is the largest cotton
industry in the world.
Mrs. Kimball Moulton has so
far recovered from her recent i'll
ness that she is spending two
weeks with her sister, Mrs. Nor

SEALSK[N TN FAVOR.
Garments of This Soft, Becoming
Fur To Be an Demand This Season.

sealskn is steadily advancing in price and
fashionable favor and every woman who owns
a garment of this soft and universally becoming
fur Is considering the advisabilty OF having 1t
remodelled into one of the innumerable shapes
designed for the coming winter Not only seal,
but caracul Persian lamb Russian pony and
most of the other dark furs are being made up
into walking coats, of which are extremely
long. and some of which abbreviated
to be almost boleros. and-truth to tell-do not
give promise of much resistance to the blasts of
Boreas.
Although the one-fur garment is to be worn
in all the expensive skins, there is a marked
fancy to combine furs, as in the of seal
with Persian lamb mink. and caracul with
sable or black fox. This will prove boon to
the woman who has two half worn coats of fur
which will harmonic, as the cost of having them
made into will be comparatively small An
other device which will be welcomed by those
whose coats have been devastated by moths is
the use of silk. braid and embroidered bands
For instance, If the fronts of a jacket worn,
silk hercules or embroidered bands will readily
hide the telltale signs. and the same trimming
may replace the shabby cuffs and collar. as
well as form Japanese caps over the shoulders.
Silk sleeves with fur caps and cuffs will solve
another difficult problem in the refurbshing of
the worn coat, and If the back needs attention
that also may be trimmed. In fact, if a coat
does not require thorough making over, it is
quite safe TO follow the trimming design of any
of the braid trimmed costumes.
Another fur greatly in favor. especially for
young girls who inevitably outgrow their winter
coats. is the natural stained squirrel. The
natural or dull gray tint of the fur, which came
into favor several years ago. was rather unbe-
coming to all women, save those of high colortng.
and for that reason was temporarily discarded
until some one was clever enough to think of
using brown stains that accord well with the
American wOmans complexion.
