girl in town must regard the model as for
informal social afternoon engagements and

That any normal minded girl would adopt
the extreme Of Dutch necks and wear
gowns that are decidedly cut out at the
throat in the street is one of the amazing
things one haseto,s See TO believe. Nothing

neck becomes incredibly soiled. catching all
the dust Of the street, and, the skin be-

that were not enough, the girl so dressed
always gives the impression of having no
proper place to wear such a gown, and so
is obliged to put it on unsuitably,
The truth is that no we'll bred girl dresses
extremely for the street. At home, or when
fulfilling her social engagements, she may
go in for effects which are truly extraor-
binary but II she reserves them for her own
home, or those Of her friends, she cannot be
criticised unduly. 1t is when she puts her
self in a position to be stared at by the
masses that she vulgar1zes herself.

The Boss Of the Establishment
BY AMERE MAN.

The train dragged slowly into the little
station at the end OF the line, seeming to
sink into the surrounding sand heaps as a
weary traveller might drop into an arm
chair.
For an hour OF more the Boss Of the
Establishment and his wife had been the
two lone passengers Of the parlor car.
They were alone, that is, except for the
ever present odor OF fresh fish which had
assailed their nostrils as they pulled out
of Long Island City and which had seemed
to be growing stronger every minute.
"It is not the ocean SMELL" declared the
Boss wife positively, because we have
been miles and miles away from the ocean
at times and we're not on the fish train,
because fish trains all go the other way,
toward New York, and they don't carry
parlor cars"
However the malodorous mystery was
solved when the conductor called the name
of the final station, the Boss helped his
wife to alight and many large oozing
boxes were thrown on the platform.
TITS all fish, exclaimed the Boss sniff

Goals to Newcastle"
He turned to the ticket seller, who had
strolled out of his office to inspect the new
arrivals: What do they ship fish down
here for?''
Cheaper in the city," replied the young
man glibly. Both the hotels get all their
supplies from N'York. Were you expectedT'
he asked impartially Of the six forlorn per-
sons on the platform.
Yes" replied the Boss with much more
confidence that he felt. for an anxious
survey Of the horizon had failed to reveal
an approaching vehicle of any sort, we're
going to Captain Miller's hotel"
"Oh, that's all right then. You may have
to wait around for a spell, but the captain'll
sure be over for the fish. Most of those
boxes belong to him and, OF course. you
can't leave en- out in the sun too long, you
understand"
Thus treasured the Boss and his wife

form for a while and sat on their suitcases

take the trouble to meet us we certainly
wouldn't enjoy ourselves here ]"
But at that moment out of distant cloud
Of dust appeared a long, rambling buck
board which was scurrying toward the
station with the uncertain haste Of a giant
beetle.
There comes the captain nowl' sang out
the station man. and ten minutes later a
crowded wagon drove up and there de-
scended from 1t a tall, gaunt, middleaged
man SO burned by successive suns that only

Too Much for Flanagan.


1t was Lawyer Steve o Brien that had the
case. says the New York correspondent of
the Cinncinati Times Star The uncle of
Patrick Flanagan Of Carrick- on Shannon
had died and left to Patrick $4,000 in hard
money. Mr. OBrien trailed Mr.. Flanagan
anxiously about town. He heard of him
here and he heard of him there, but he
finally located him in the depths OF a
sewer that was being dug on Third avenue.
"Pathrick Flanagan" calls Mr.. O'Brien.
Mr. Flanagan answered.
Are you the son OF Pathrick Flanagan
and was your mothers name Mary? And
what were the names of your uncles?"
Mr.. Flanagan answered correctly. r

ONE YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
Ninety-FOur Years Ago n Continuous
Frost and Mighty UncOm-

Every now and then some one discovers
that our winter and summer seasons are
not what they used TO be; that the Their
mometer nowadays is prone to capricious
reverses and that as the rustic poet sings
June comes in December;
December comes in June,
Those who deplore the passing of the
old-time summer should look up the records
OF the year 1915 and note what happened
then; 1916 was called "the year without a
summer" There was a frost in every
month OF the year. January and February
were mild; March was clustering and raw:
at the end of April snow fell abundantly
and the brooks were ice-imprisoned as in
winter. In May the wondering buds and
young plants were nlpped ere they were
aware; the corn crop was annihilated by an
ice-sheet that formed to the thickness of
half an inch. In June snow fell three inches
deep in New York and Massachusetts, and
the destruction OF growing things begun in
May was disastrously completed. On the
9Th OF July ice as thick as window glass
was a common phenomenon in Pennsylvania,
and in August there was ice half an inch
thick. Pennsylvania farmers were COM
PEELED to pay So and So bushel for corn

seemed to set in during the latter fortnight
OF September; from that time forward ice

FIRST OF WOMEN DOCTORS
EARLY Struggle for an Open Door In
American Medical Col
IeKes.

The death In England of DR.. Elisabeth
Blackwell is a reminder OF the progress
made by women In a profession into
which they had literally to force their
way.
When Miss Blackwell applied for per-
mission to attend medical lectures In
Philadelphia in 1sf four colleges refused
TO admit her. The larger medical schools
of New York closed their doors against
her, and 1t was only at Geneva, N. Y,
that she was finally able to secure a medi-
cal education. When she began to prao-
tice in New York she was virtually
ostracised, finding It difficult to procure
either lodgings or office rooms.
What a half century has done to change
these conditions is indicated by the ban
quet OF the flourishing association of
alumnae OF the New York Womans Medi-
cal college, held In this city at almost the
moment OF this pioneer woman physician 8
death. Masculine opposition to women
medical students once overcome, their en-
trance into the profession has been greatly
facilitated. Where in 1870 there were 527
women physicians ard surgeons in the
United States, the number increased 10
2, 1872 in 1880, 4557 in 1890 and 1881 in 1900
1t must now be largely in excess OF
TO- 600.
Women physicians have shown theiI
capacity in all fields OF medical practice
not only in obstetrics and gynaecology
but as general practitioners and spe.
clalists, as ambulance and railroad sur.
| seons and as house physicians in hos
pitfalls. The old social prejudice against
them has died out; they are largely rep
resented in the membership OF medical as.
sociations and are now found in the var
of public movements in which women take
| part.
| But has the ancient professional pre-
| tudice been overcome? 1t has recently
been alleged in London that they do no
possess the full physical and menta
qualifications for the profession, and tn,
caustic criticism by Prof. Won Bergman
OF Berlin to the same effect will be re
called. Yet If women doctors are not
success, how account for their presen
numbers?--New York World.
