HAD WOMEN DOCTORS IN 1900
Lady Student From Malta Caused
Chief Of School Considerable
Trouble.

Women as doctors Is not. Paris
contemporary observes, product Of
modern "feminisime." It seems that
In the eighteenth century there was q
lady student at Florence. She came
from Malta under the patronage OF the
Knights of Malta. The administrator
Of the Majeur hospital was somewhat
embarrassed with his new pupil, but
he found means out Of his difficulty.
The chief Of the Order Of the
Knights Of Malta in introducing his
lady protege to the professors OF the
Florence School OF Medicine. wrote:
1T seems to me that the matter could
be arranged without any great incon-
venience II the young lady were board
ed during the period she was studying
at your medical school with the nuns
in neighboring convent, for which
we would pay i've crowns week.
In regard to her instruction she
should assist in operations at the
women's hospital. notably those per-
formed by Professor Mannoni. He
should also give her some private les
sons at the convent, for it appears to
me that she should not be present in
classes with young men,"
The council Of the hospital. being
well disposed to the knights. adopted
the suggestion. More than century
elapsed before another lady was en-
rolled in the school Of Florence. She
was Russian and was admitted to
the schools OF Santa Maria Nuova.

Around the choir. between 1t and

gives access to the seven chapels that
are to stand at the east of the cathe.

the Tongues. and each will be repre-

or of groups Of nations that go to

Two chapels already completed are
the Chapel of the Holy Saviour. to be
used especially by Christians of the
Oriental rite, and that Of st. Colombia,
the apostle Of the Celtic nation. The
former is the gift Of August Belmont

'If every bachelor could give $50

OF the State Charities Aid association.
Some bachelors are now taking care
OF from one to six children and some
childless couples are supporting whole

Ex-Governor Morton's cir.

The choir 10 the gift Of former Gov.
Levi P. Morton. The choir stalls are
of carved oak. They are very elab-
crate and are surmounted with charm
ing statues Of monks praying, sing
ing, blowing on musical instruments
and going TO battle. The bishops
chair Is of oak also and is no less
wonderfully carved. The reredos has
many very fine statues. The figure
Of Christ has on its right st. John,
st. James and st. Peter: on the left
Isaiah. Ezekiel and Elijah. A fine
statue Of Noses. much like that by
Michael Angelo, is at the extreme left,
corresponding to st. John the Baptist
on the other side. Each figure is beau
tifully done; but for that matter they
all are everywhere. inside and outside
the building, high up and low down,
conspicuous or hidden.
In front Of the reredos there IL q
tiled tablet which came from the orig
NAL Church OF st. John the Divine In
Ephesus. Its inscription states that
the original church was built by the
Emperor Justinian. Behind the rere,
das altar will be hung the Barberini
tapestries, five In number, that have
been loaned to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art for a,number of years
past. They are already In place. They
were made In 1888 and are unique.
They are 80 large that they will be
hung Sc feet from the floor and yet
seem entirely in proportion with their
surroundings.
The choir floor is Of mosaic and
gives gorgeous touch Of color as one
looks toward the shining altar. The
ceiling of the great dome also is to be
of mosaic, In many Of the European
cathedrals the roofing is Of wood
