We are told that the latest sensa-
tiop In the medical world is the asser-
ton Of doctor that he is eble, by
looking into patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis Of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as 1t is supposed
to be? l recollect hearing some time
ago of doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: II can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"
MY right eyer asked the patient.
Yes" returned the doctor. 1T

WOMEN CARRY BIsQuE DOLLS
Latest Fad Among Fashionable Set
Of Paris 10 to Take "Babies" to
Entertainments.

New York.-Fashionable women
will carry dolls about with them this
winter. :
The fad is an importation from
Paris. where for q month women have
been carrying large bisque dolls in the
salons at social occasions and on the
streets In automobiles.
The nrst importations of dolls to
enable American women to copy the
curious Partisan fad arrived here ten
days ago. They were brought over
by three fashionable Fifth avenue
establishments the heads of which be-
lieved they could start the style In
the country. Since that time several
hundred dolls have been sold to wom-
en- Of social note in this city, who
when buying them stated that they
intended to further the fashion Of
dolls for grown-up people.
The dolls-all girl "babies"-are
sold at from $65 to $125 each. They
are eighteen inches high and are
dressed In the latest Partisan clothes
of the finest materials.
The establishments keeping them
make extra clothes at prices ranging
upward from SIS. The only differ
ence between these dolls for grown
up women and those for children Is
that the Partisan dolls are manufac-
tured of the finest bisque. with CON-
position bodies and joints so made as
not to creak when moved.

New York.-"To my mind children

This is the opinion of DIR. Amelia M
Fender, who for the past few years
has been connected with the women's
and children's department in the
Mount Sinai hospital. and has made q
special study OF New York people. DR..
Fender must know the secret Of idle

and apparently never tired.
Il don't believe that one person out
OF ten in this city knows what real
idleness IS, and how very necessary to
health 1t becomes" said DR.. Fender.
Their one great idea is to make mon
ey and seek pleasure. They never have
9 moments rest or grant such thing
TO another person.
They are continually on the go from
morning until night, and when they
can find no pleasures ready-made they
invent them Their brains are always
IN whirl of excitement and they

Chicago.-There is a woman stop
ping at the Blackstone just now who
is given credit for having done more
to help in the digging of the Panama
canal than any other member of her
own sex and most of the other. Her
name Is Miss Helen varick Boswell,
she comes from New York and she

wrong and Mr.. Roosevelt, who then
was President Roosevelt, and Pres;-
dent Taft, who then was secretary of
war, were nearing their wits ends.
The government had built pretty
little white and green cottages with
screened-in galleries and they had
fitted them throughout with the latest
style In mission furniture. The men
at the zone were putting aside more
money than they had been able to
save in years in the states and from
mans point OF view there was no
apparent reason why the American
woven who had followed their nus
bands into the zone should not be
content But they were not End the
spirit Of unrest grew Until II took on
proportions Of s--,fcient size to AFFECT

TIE president and the secretary of
war put their heads together and de-
termined to send a woman from the
states with the rather unusual CON-
mission to find where lay the trouble
with her transplanted sisters. The
woman was Miss Boswell.
What Miss Boswell found was row
Of II towns Of varying sizes stretched
along the canal from Cristobal on the
atlantic TO Ancc2 on the Paois.. She
found 1900 Women far from familiar
haunts and all the things that had
meant life set down In an existence
where the line of social exclusion
was more tightly drawn than in the
hourishing cities Of the states. The
seed of discomfort was producing a
tangle Of unhappiness which was
clogging life the length of the ditch.
Miss Boswell visited all of the II
