JAPAN'S FLORAL CALENDAR.
To Each Month is Dedicated Some
One Flower or Leaf

The Japanese are extremely fond OF
all flowers and they have therefore
made a calendar from them, giving to
each month a favorite blossom or leaf.
Thus the pine, the emblem OF last
ing prosperity and life, belongs to
January. According TO the House
keeper, its branches are used to dec.
crate all houses on New Years Day.
To February belong the blossoms Of
the plum tree, which stand for purity,
and the beautiful blossoms of the
peach tree, to which young girls are
compared, are associated with March.

beloved of all flowers. is held to be.

American Women Physicians.

81 am surprised to find the Ameri-
can medical women so far behind the
English woman physician" said DR..
Helen NJ. Shaw, Of London, at the
Hoffman House. 81 do not wish to
convey the impression that your med
ical women are themselves behind,
but rather that they are not regarded
more seriously by the medical socie-
ties of the United States.
In England the medical profession
has recognized the woman Dractition-
er, and she is on a much higher stand
ard in the public eye than she is III
America.
THE women physicians of the Unit
ed States are very bright. and they
are, as a rule, thorough and capable.
It is only a short time, of course, be-
fore they must be regarded more Sc
riously but it seems to me it woulc
be far better for the medical socie-
ties to give the women their just dues
now than to wait until she forces her
way to the front through her own ge-
MUS and makes the preiudiced ones
who are fighting her look ridiculous. ''
