Women Doctors hi Ancient Times. It has been justly said that "the obloquy v. hich tails upon the advocates ol innova tion belongs to those who oppose the medi cal education of women. There were temale physicians in the earliest classical times. Homer makes mention of one in the Iliad, Book xi. The linos read: Ills eldest born, night Agamede, with golden haii ; Aleeeli wasalie, and well she know all herbs on ground that grew. Euripides speaks of women doctors, and there is record of many Greek women who were renowned lor skill iu medicine. As pasia wrote ably ot medicine. A maid ot Athens named Agnodice earned such suc cess m med cil practice that, thanks to her, the profession was opened by law to all tree-born women of the State. Iu her time women were strictly forbidden to practice medicinz, so that she disguised herself as a man, and under that concealment she studied at a school. After she had enred many of her own sex of their ailment, it became known that she was a woman, and she ras condemned to death by the legisla tive assembly. But the women of Athens appealed in her behalf, and the i-entence was revoicea. sunsequentiy nrnr nome ladies prrcticed and taught medicine in Atheus.

A gronp of women discussed for several minutes at a restaurant table the other day the serious question, "Does woman lose caste to assist publicly her husband or near male relative, ia putting on his overcoat?" The talk started in the speech of one of them who had spent the summer near the cottage of a prominent public man and bad much admired his wife, "even though she did 'help her husband into his over coat" "Whereupon opinions were vigorously exchanged on this subject The woman who was shocked was a South erner, one of a class whose ideas of mas culine deference are known to be more ex acting than those of their Northern sisters. This woman was shocked at the presump tion of the man in permitting the service, and at the unbecoming weakness of the woman to offer it The other woman, who couldn't see that the offense was so very serious, boldlv confessed that at several times in their lives they had done this thing, one of them asserting that bnce, even in an opera box, she had given her husband's coat an assisting pull beteenthe snoul derst "It was an outgrown coat, she explained, however, and he was making a spectacle of himself trying to worm into it " "You made a greater spectacle of you both by helping him," retorted the South ern woman. "My husband would as soon think'of kissing me with his hat on as to let me get him into his coat." And then a silence fell over the party while the other women pondered and won dered whether their husbands were guilty of this count in the indictment or not Fortunately the waiter came with the order jnsl then, and the subject nas put aside un settled.

"Watch the way yonr children shut their teeth," says a New York dentist "The lower jaw should close inside, or at least even with the upper. Many do this naturally, many more must be taught, and the sooner the easier. There is no fact in artistic dentistrv more important than this. To retain the true facial lines is one of the chief efforts of the profession in its present advancement, and this shutting under is a great art preservative. A forerunner of ad vancing age is the heavy lower jaw which settles more and ' more as the muscles of the face weaken and relax with years a tendency which is long deferred it the jaw is trained to be held back beneath the upper. Such will be" the case if the tetth close together propsrly. Watch your children and yourselves, and if you "have ben shutting your teeth the wrong way for 40 years begin to-day to re form." Two women were overheard discussing a third in an elevated train the other day. "She entertains elegantly, I am told, said one. "Entertains!" repeated the other with fine scorn, "she giyes functions."

They fit nearly as trimly as the finer kid. and with the big buttons which this autumn demands are a stylish band covering, while their ability to stand a daily wear of three months is not to be despised by the econom ical woman. The first "blow at the popular and graceful bell skirt has been struck in the new toilets that are beginning to show at church and on the promenade. They are worn by women fresh from Europe, but tiie dress makers in New York confirm the evidence that their new costumes are modeled in the same way. The Parisian skirt has a slightly gored front breadth and the side breadths are also slightly gored like the old-fashioned skirtSr-Tbe back breadths are two bias ones, gauged on the band. The back is lined with crinoline to flare out stiffly and the deep pleat is held in place bv two straps underneath. The skirt is walking length for the street, training slightly in the house. "And I want a large sheet of black court plaster," said a young woman at a notion counter the other day, "which." she pro ceeded to explain to a friend at her side, "is my chief mending implement I always mend'gloves with court plaster, using black or the light tints according to the shade of the glove.. I turn the glove inside out and fit the plaster over the rent, first, of course, drawing the edges together as a surgeon does a torn skin. It is .much neater than sewing and lasts longer. Sometimes I get an ugly three-cornered rent in a gown.

English papers are advocating the intro duction of church cloak rooms. Which would undoubtedly save many a woman her winter colds from sitting in her wraps iu overheated churches.

Altbongh chang ing the complexion of one's tresses to order may be a difficult and injurious thing to do, till it it possible. But the latest mandate that has gone forth to the eflect that to be in vogne a woman must be tall is quite a different thing. How, forsooth, is a diminu tive miss to lav hold of the requisite inches that are to make her "the thing?" The other day at a ladies' lunch party a young girl said: "I admire Itudyard Kip ,ling so immensely I can't help regretting that he finds so much in us Americans to sneer at our voices, our dressing and all that" A second young girl interrupted , excitedly: "He find fault with our personal appearance, indeedl I boarded at the same hotel with him when he first visited this country, and used to often meet him in the elevator. Why, girls" here her voice sank to an impressive whisper "would you believe it, his finger nails were always dirty, his complexion was greasy and un pleasant, while the least said about his teeth the better." A solemn" hush fell upon the adoring company, which a third damsel broke by remarking, sentimentally: "Rich ard Harding Davis is my hero among young fiction writers.

A de mure maiden in the background made a slight rustle of disapproval: "I chanced to cross the ocean on the same steamer with him recently.
