Incidents in the Lipes of World Famous Women
DOCTOR.
By ELOISE HARRINGTON

open to a woman who had to be self pporting-teaching She opened a school, which was fairly successful for several years, and later became gov- erness.
 Miss Blackwell had & woman friend to whom she was deeply attached, and a chance remark of this friend chang ed the whole course of her career, and influenced for the good the coming generations of women.
 Suddenly her friend developedS g. distressing disease. and one day she mentioned to Miss Blackwell her hope that there would be some woman phy- sician to whom she could go for treat. ment.
 "Why don't you study medicine 7' Blackwell shrugged her shoulders and smiled. She had no thought of it. She disliked nursing cordially--a rath- CT unusual trait in a tender-hearted woman of her type. In fact, she dis 1 liked everything connected with sick rooms and personal service. Nevex theless, her friend persistently r
 minded her of the great work tf could be accomplished by won i physician, and urged her again again to think of it seriously as splendid contribution of service shS could make.
 | Gradually, the idea took hold of 1 Miss BlackwelPs mind, and once in terested, she was not slow in follow | ing her course. She wrote for adj vice to number of prominent physi- clans throughout the country, and ca oh and all of them wrote in reply that her object, although commend able, was impractical, for it was ut terly impossible for a woman to, re- ceive a, medical education in this coun- try. 5'3a
 "If 1t is desirable, I'll do it." was Miss Blackwelrs conclusion. She commenced reading under the tuition of Dr. John Dixon of Asheville, N. C., in whose family she had been a gov erness. She later continued her stu- dies with two other prominent phy- sicians in Philadelphia, but when she applied for admission to the medical schools in New York, Boston and Phil- adelphia, she was refused, and 10 soth- CT medical schools in this country gave her the same reply. Finally she was accepted as a student at the med- ical college in Geneva, entering in 1S46, and graduating in 1s4S, the first woman in the United States to receive the medical degree.

PRINCESS DE CONTI.

Margaret Louisa of Lorraine, Prin- cess de Cont, was the daughter of Henry, Duke de Guiso, surnamed the Scared, and was born in 1577. In 1e65 she married, by request of Hen- " ", who was in love with her, and wished her to remain at court, Fran ciss de Bourbon, prince de Cont. They, however, left Henry's court secretly, on the night of their wedding and went to Brussels. The Prince died in 1914 and Louisa devoted herself to literature. She was one of Car dina1 Richelfeu's enemies, and he ban ished her to Flu, where she died in 1881.

The skilled woman physician is to- day by no means rare, and for certain branches of medicine the woman phy- sician is frequently preferred. It is therefore rather astonishing that wo- men have been given opportunity for the study of medicine only in the last half-century, for not until 1856 was there available a medical college for women. In that year the New Eng land Female Medical College was
 formed.
 Prior to that time, however, a. few courageous women had taken upon

In fact, she had a peculiar aversion to the sickroom and everything surrounding it but a touch- ing incident changed the course of her life.
 Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1891, in Bristol, Eng, but was brought to the United States by her parents. When Elizabeth was but 16 years old her father died and the family was left penniless to sup port themselves as best they might.

maids to do their hair at home.
And yet you seldom hear a word
of complaint over the hardships
they are enduring.
When a girl begins to complain,
you can be sure she will not stay
long; she is better off back here
in America, where she can find
fault because Mr.. Hoover has
asked her not to eat white bread

It is the American spirit which
