as in all decency we should But we do not budge until the doctor himself stirs in his chair, and for shame's sake we start, though half an hour before we sat among those outsiders and in wardly cursed the babbling or dodder- ing imbecile within. who was keeping us from out turn with the doctor. The best way, the only true way, is to have an appointment, and then, announcing ourselves at the house-door. go sail- ing through those ranks in the ante- room and coming to anchor in the doctors own study.
 For the time he is not tho doctor: he Is our doctor. It is the peculiar quality of him that he shall seem the sole property of each sufferer in turn, and shall be as entirely the physician of the pauper whose fee you may un- willingly pay, as he Is yours. But what are we saying? In nine-tenths of the cases, or at least half. nobody pays the pauper's fee. and the doctor gives him time, his skill, and his very life as freely to the destitute as to the affluent. What other man does the like? The priest or preacherf yes; but as one recusant in denying tho claim of the symposium upon him says, "The doctors are the real doctors of divinity and the saints of the earth" and they outnumber all the other saints. who. 1t must be allowed. also exist and live and die for us.

ks advanced. than the en-

the weeks advanced, than the en- trance of America into the war caused them to jump at the possi- bility of army hats for women.
 One exclusive milliner whose origi- nations are well known on this conti- nent filled his window with painted, wooden heads of women, on each of which he placed a cap that core sponded with one worn by a section of the army at, the fighting front
 In two weeks the women in large centers were ordering reproductions of these caps. When one goes about among well dressed women today one sees the rakish cap of the Black Watch, the jaunty, pointed cap of All bert of Belgium. the white marine cap of our own sailors. the khaki hat of our officers. all the caps of the British army and navy and the al1ur- ing cap of the French marines.
 All women do not stop at wearing hats that are in service in the field.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-08

The milliners have persuaded them to go farther and adopt the more magnificent headgear worn in dress parade. The strap under the chin is accentuated; the tilt of the hat is as squsS-e and straight as an officer would have it, and only here and there does one see the jauntiness af- fected by the carefree sailors who pitch their hats st the most rakish angle, on the side of their heads.
 So far the only hat that has not been brought to the front by the mil liners is the rough rider somorero made famous by Colonel Roosevelt That's strange. isn't it?
 ORNATE COLLARS AND CUFFS
 Among the experts, whose business in life is to study clothes, one con- stantly hears the call for simplicity. If there is to be economy. 1t must be In the usage of material. but not in the price paid or the number of clothes purchased. The claim of cer- tain manufacturers that there should be economy in the amount of material used because the use of patch pockets, hip drapery and wide col- lars allows a good deal of patching and extra scanning, does not appeal to the public
 It has long been an adage of those who know clothes thoroughly that frocks with frills are usually badly made, but skilled workmanship is also demanded for simple clothes.
 The present viewpoint makes one believe that costly simplicity will win out. The American woman. in mass, will certainly adopt severe lines for the next year. but as a contrast to these she Is already making up her mind to use voluminous collars and cuffs.
 The neckwear people are delighted over this attitude. They are 5timu- lating the desire by introducing Q wide range of novelties Collars are enlarged, until they reach the dimen- sion of short capes and cuffs are talk ing to themselves the appearance of gauntlets.
 Many seasons have passed since it was considered fashionable to attach white cuffs to the coats of tailored

knees, a very short scant skirt, khaki regulation military jacket and the Regulation cap.
 Against the background of filmy chif- fon, strings of pearls, picture hats and oriental garbs she made delightful pie ture. She was the essence of simplicity, efficiency and trigness
 Within the month the desire for the military costume has grown so great that one sees all kinds of women on CT rands of war relief in these khaki out fits. Women who have been taking their lessons in ambulance driving, walk through the streets wearing the full, khaki brooches which the uniform pre- scribes, and over their shoulder is the full, swirling cape of the French ambu- lance and aviation corps
 Women have long worn riding hreeches on the street, covered with cape or long top coat and this new ambulance centers than it would have done halr dozen years ago; but even now it creates a ripple of interest which is always at tended by approval and admiration. There are no jests, no satirical remarks, no laughter from the men as these Wom- en pass through the ranks of people on the streets. Some of the deference IS shown to them that is given to the women with the Red Cross on their costumes or the brassard of mercy on their arms.
 It is happy fact to remember. when one is separating the segments of fash ion for this summer, that the lS40-6o-7o 1, nf ral They were ugly, futile and costly. For tunately for us, in this season of emorog- lio. we are not asked to wear frills and flounces, streaming ribbons ard roses
 Medievalism is severe. even if gor- geous at times. The Napoleonic fashions are economical, for they run from what is known as the first em- pire through the Grecian drapery and to the Directorie severity. And the military is really costumery cut to the bone.
 THE STRUGGLE IN MILLINERY
 The hats of the hour are divided into two classes: the military and the picturesque.
 A year ago the introduction of the Russian turban swept the milliners off their feet. Paris invented 1t as a tribute to her ally. but France is not feeling very happy about Russia these days and this fact will probably souelch the introduction of Russian costumery by the French designers in their semi-annual exhibitions that oc- cur the last of this month. Even after the introduction of the high Russian hat in Paris. 1t was not generally accepted by the fashion ables on the Riviera. where Paris fashions are first exploited these days. America, however, took up the new hat with an enthusiasm that was un- preced a:lted. It was difficult tur- ban to wear, but that made no diff ference in its sales. At last the world got tired of it, and the wide, Breton sailor of Caroline Reboux was intro duced and accepted
 No sooner had the milliners taken lup the idea Of the wide brim and all lowed It to grow wider and wider as
