politely, so very politely, in fact,
that the dolls had no suspicion that
he meant trouble. The dolly stayed
and Cottontail asked her to walk
outside with him. They sat on the
small swing just a few steps from
the school door.
Cottontail talked about everything
in TIE world but the queer noise. and
at last the dolly thought that she
was safe, for she had been the one
TO make the noise.
Cottontail was about to let her go
home, when she thought that she
looked away for moment, and
then came the noise again very near
Crack. 1t sounded, but before he had
turned to look at the dolly she had
cried aloud.
BY the time he had looked her full
in her painted face she was wiggling
about nervously, and something
dropped on the ground. 1t was her
leg
Cottontail leaned down and picked
it UP, and the dol Y began to Cry bit
:erly. SO that was the thing that
had made the noise. but she had
snapped it once too many times
Io1 see. she was hung toget her with
string, and her joints fitted In and
when she pulled them out and let
them snap back it made quite a
funny noise.
Give my leg back at once" she
cried. IF I move the string will
slip up and I will come entirely
apart" COttontail looked at the little
leg in his hand and shook his head.
so you are the one who made all Of
the noise?" The poor dolly nodded.

but she could not move for fear she
would come apart.
Cottontail went to Mrs. Tabby. who
came with needle and thread. and by
the time she had finished, the dolly
had made up her mind never to
annoy Cottontail or snap her joints
again.

For Women
Women Needed In Medicine.
BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

Although the time has not yet come
when mothers seriously consider the
possibil ties of q certain career for the
daughter from the time Of her birth,
It is a fact that many daughters. after
they have "grown-up' take the matter
of a career into their own hands and
make decision as to the disposition
of their futures for themselves
For those girls who wish to choose
a profession for their life work. the
need of women in medicine should not
be overlooked.
without making any more demands
upon the time of women than any other
profession medicine has come to have
quite different meaning than it did
even few years ago. II
This has come about through the
adaption Of medicine to social service
work. Tho woman physician who 10
hired by the day or by certain hours
has certain amount Of control over
her time, and can have a home and
family Of her own as we'll as any other
working woman.
The old excuse that a woman is physi-
cally unified for the profession Of medi-
cine owing to the demands which the
conscientious discharge Of such duties
makes upon the physician. II of no
longer any weight. Social service work
in cities has created line Of work In
which time and service can be regu-
individual. '.
AS to the demand for women physi-
clans in social service positions. the fol-
lowing statement Is an excellent proof.
It was made by DR.. Gertrude Walker.
former professor Of opthalmology, Of
the Women's Medical College of Penn
sylvania, at a dinner given recently by
a group Of prominent New York women
physicians.
Medicine" said DR.. Walker. has not
been made so prominent as an occupa-
ton for women as, for instance. social
service. 1t is fact, however, that
there are more positions awaiting wonf-
en- physicishs today than can be hlled.
There are many salaried municipal posi-
tions open to them-and I believe more
Of those In New York than elsewhere.
Many of the alumnae of our college are
holding such positions here In New
York. and we are all very proud OF
them. There's a very rich future, am
confident. for women physicians.

The girls have been given privil-
eyes which balance nicely with the
privileges of the boys, in the new Cen
tral High School building" said Emory
Wilson. principal, in an interview yes
terday.
Now. this short sentence has in ii a
wealth Of meaning.
There is a huge swimming pool room
in the building, made with two sepa-
rate and distinct sides, one fitted for the
boys and one fitted for the girls. Both
open on the pool and on to a set OF
showers. As the boys will have the
pool certain days and the girls certain
other days, the same showers may be
used.
The question of apportionment Of
time depends entirely upon the girls
themselves. If they take advantage of
be given time in which to enjoy them
in proportion to their numbers and the
number Of boys.
The same may be said of other con-
veniences.
There is a music room. there are art
rooms, a library, a running track, ath-
letic field, and other common advan-
tages Whether OF not the girls apply
for use of them in sufficient numbers
will be the rule by which the appor-

Aside from the military accommoca-
tions.s there are few institutional priv
fleges which are not evenly divided be-
tween the sexes. The only thing LEFT
for the girls to do is to ASK. APPLY,
INSIST. If they are of sufficient num-
bers they will obtain And while prob
ably useless, a word about that military
organization is pertinent.
Drill For the Girls.
There was once, in the years gone by,
q military organization in the high
schools for girls. They had natty little
uniforms, and drilled, and If any one
wants to know more she will be repaid
by asking Mr.. Wilson himself. for ne
helped to teach them how to march, IL
the writer is not mistaken. He knows
all about it, anyway.

schools which is being agitated, it
would not be such a terrible idea for
some Of the bright and sensibly inclined
young women Of the public high schools
to look into this past and gone regimen
tai history.
Other plans which have been made
more exclusively for the girls are the
domestic science departments. There are
two sewing and fitting rooms. a model
dining room. and kitchen equipped with
individual gas stoves.
Mr.. Wilson hopes that he will have
separate tennis courts for the use of
the girls alone. Again it depends upon
the demand whether or not the supply
Is given.
Girls have a private gymnasium, fully
equipped. which is thought by some to
be the best room in the whole build
ing. 1t is light. high, and dry. has
two galleries. and as it is on the first, or
main floor, directly adjoining the assem-
bly, room, ii is no Inconvenience to use
the huge stage of the auditorium at the
same time as the gymnasium proper.
The girls have, private lockers. show
ers. and paraphernalia. And just think!
All health exercises may be taken in
gym suits with little trouble and. with
which may be thrown open, exercises
will have all the advantage and none
of the disadvantages of being taken out
of doors.
It's Up To the Girls.
With the building of this great public
school. girls are. for the first time In
this city, being given the opportunity
Of enjoying all of the privileges which
have hitherto been either denied them
or granted only after a long period OF
begging. pickering. and quarreling.
The proper gratitude for them to dis
play will be that they take advantage
of the equipment. Each and every girl
has a right to an athletic, artistic, po-
litical life along with her studies. To
make this right an actual thing and not
merely q theoretic and generous admis-
sion, every girl who contemplates en-
tering the new school should prepare
herself for a school life full to the
minute with healthful mental and physi-
cal work.

Hemisphere, whose political and social
life has been as tempestuous and splen-

This history begins with the geologi-

OF upheaval. change, settlement. and
the final apportionment of the fates-
the curse of gold.

Cave-Man Fashions in Vogue as
Seen in Manner of Wearing
Neckpiece Slung Over the
Shoulder.

Fashion this year, in the line of
furS, has gone back to cape-ndn
styles. Not only are the furs used
intact, but the neck pieces are
draped oper the back in much the
same manner in which the men of
the stone age we're mont to coper
their shoulders.
But the similarity ends there,
since a lining Of finest moleskin,
and huge muf finished as only
the best furrierS can finish mufs,

woman of today.
White fox, the material used in
this instance, is an unusually at
tractipe fur for the younger won-
an, lending itself to almost any
combination of color in a suit. The
brush of the white fox is also a
thing of great beauty and adds
much to the attractipeness of the
costume.
Other popular furs for this sea-
son are fitch fox, ermine, and kol-
insky. The ermine is usually CON-
bined NTH sealskin, or is used with
out the tails, in the pure white.
Burnt orange satin is a fayo,ite
