HAND PAINTED SWEATER.

If one travels to the beaches with in easy distance of Philadelphia over the weekend, he will see many nov cities. One of these novel ideas tn- cludes tho hand-painted sweater Tn silk and fiber garments. Where one does not care to have a floral or other design painted on the sweater colorful designs are embroidered or woven of silk and wool.
 One rosewood shade in slip-over style had self-colored fringe edging the collar and falling free at bust line. enhanced with colorful embroi- dery in wool.
 One model in scarlet had a collar tackled down to give a co1larless eff feet about the neckline. so woven that the back looks like triple cor rusated pleat clusters. Large revers are embroidered or painted into de- signs taken from museum documents, the Peruvian being especially favora- ble.
 Short and three-quarter length sleeves are shown in many of the models, with angora used as a trim for edges. Some sweaters reach below the knees. and often fringe extends below that length.
 Motor coats of full length are also used and displayed to a great ex- tent in dark co1ors. They are plain and fitted at the waist with the plain buttoned belt.

And send one invitation addressed to '"The Misses X-,'' to all the daughters collec- lively.
 Names-"Ts it permissible for a married woman to use her own fam fly name as well as her husbands? That is, if Miss Anne Blank and MT.

Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
SOPHIE WRIGHT.

Sophie Wrights parents were the impoverished children of impovertsh- ed parents, ruined in the depressioa n that was the aftermath of the Civil War. When Sophie was a baby of three years she fell injuring both hip and back so badly that she was incased in plaster and strapped to a chair.
 Until she was ten years old. this chair was her world: she could not walk a step. Succeeding finally in ac- quiring an education, she opened a free night school for girls, in New Orleans.
 One day a boy came, applying for admission. He was an acrobat in a circus; the circus was stranded. he was without money and without work. But in a short time civil ser vice examinations were to be held and number of positions would be open to successful applicants, Would she teach him? Then her free night school became co-educational, and she maintained one of the greatest free night schools in the world. She also founded the Home for Crippled Children in New Orleans.

WOMEN GAIN
 RECOGNITION IN MEDICAL FIELD
Elizabeth Blackwell First Women to Obtain Medi-
 cal Diploma.

In New York city today, it is a common occurrence, after lodging an ambulance, which has the right of way, to see woman maintaining what appears to be a. precarious hold on the end of the ambulance. From her pocket protrudes a stethescope- for she is a physician, officially con- nected with the hospital, who has sent her out to administer medical care to the patients during the transit to the hospital.
 The first woman who ever obtained a medical diploma in the United States was Elizabeth Blackwell born in 1S21-died in 1910. She was born in Bristol, England. Cfrcum- stances induced the family to emi- grate to New York and they after wards went to Cincinnati. Miss Blackwell, in 1888, with two elder sis ters, opened a boarding school, which soon had a large attendance. In 1S44 the school was given up Miss Blackwell determining to become the medical apostle of her sex After three years further work a teach CT, during which time she devoted the whole of her leisure time to the study of medical and anatomical books, she went to Philadelphia, where she ap- piled in vain for admission to medical schools.
 After strenuous efforts she at last obtained admission to the Geneva Medical College, Geneva, New York, in 1S47, graduating with the highest honor in 1S49. Then she went to Europe, in order to prosecute her studies further. In Paris she was told that it would be impossible for her to gain entrance to the schools or hospitals there unless she adopted male attire-a suggestion repugnant to her taste and to the great object she had in view-the recognition of women physicians. After great per- severance, however, she gained ad- mission. Returning to New York city in 1851, she established herself in practice. In 1853 she established the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, which proved so suc- cessfu1 that she was induced. in 1868, to found the Woman's Medical Col lese of the New York Infirmary. In her work in New York city she was associated with her sister Emily, a physician also, who took her course in medicine after having been refused at ten schools. Emily Blackwell finally obtained admission to Belle vue Hospital in New York city, where now a largs number of women physi- clans are in service.
 The Great War caused a world shortage of physicians, and within the past few years women have gain ed a recognition in general hospitals such as they never obtained before. Through their hospital experience they have become specialists in nerv- ous diseases, in diseases of the bones and joints, in diseases of the eye, ear, throat. in diseases of the skin, and no longer limit their practice to women | and children.
