WHY ARE PORTIAS SO FEW IN
PHILADELPHIA? ASKS M'LISS
The Doors of the Law School Stand Open to
Them and Yet Not One Has
Entered This Year
I All puzzled to know why tho lcpnl profession litis fallen Into jueh un
popularity with women in Philadelphia.
Mere tho doors of one of tho best linv schools In the country the Unl
votslty of Pennsylvania stand open to them mid not one girl has crossed
the threshold for the" term" 191&-1016. Lnst yenr there were only two
graduates. ,
I have it direct from Miss A. Florence Verger, n local I'orlln. that If n
woman goes about It in the right way she can build up a practice that will
make tho average lawyer sigh with envy and chagrin. Miss Yerger ought
to know, for since she tremblingly hung out her shingle In 1007 she has found
It necessary to set Up thrco offices in various sections of the city In order
to accommodate her growing clientele.
"If a woman In willing to apply herself," she told me one morning, for
getting for the moment all about tho 10 or 11 clients who sat waiting In tho
outer room of her ofllco on Chestnut street, "there Is no profession from
which she can gain more, cither In Joy In her work, or In actunl remunera
tion, than in law.
"Itegardless, too, of what a man or n woman's business Is, I think a
knowledge of law should he a part of the equipment for every career. It
is vital and it Is interesting."
No; Miss Yerger Is not a press agent for tho University. She is simply
a woman who has studied hard and worked unceasingly. Now she Is beginning
to reap rewards. With the generosity of most broad-minded, successful
women, she sees no reason why others should not do likewise.
In many other cities, Baltimore nntnbly, women clamor nnntially to be
admitted to the law schools. To no avail.
It would seem that wo are slow to appreciate the advantages thnt have
been vouchsafed us.

Get Out Your Scales, Mrs. Housewife!
If Mrs. Housewife of Philadelphia remembers any one In her prnyris at
night It ought to be John Vlrdln and his corps of assistants up at tho llurcau
of Weights and Measures.
Since April of last year 35 tried and trusty scouts from this department
hnve been on the inmpage, I am told, rounding up quietly and effectively
grocers, milkmen, merchants and dealers In provisions whose scales, bottles,
yardsticks and other Implements fall short of giving the full measure that the
law requires.
For more than 30 years before the present campaign was started against
him the short-weight man had pursued his nefarious business, one of the
Investigators tells me, without any nppteclable Interference. Ho has hitched
everything onto his scales from n grain of shot to a stove lid, and the unsus
pecting housekeeper wns none tho wiser. All she knew was that the cost
of living wns ascending mightily.
It wns estimated some time ago Hint more than $B,000.000 had been saved
the housekeepers on purchases weighed on scales alone by the bureau.
"But wo can't help them If they don't help us," one of the scouts told me.
"If sho'd only take a squint at the scales, familiarize herself with them and
particularly weigh her purchases after she gets them home and report dis
crepancies to us It wouldn't be long before we'd have all these shnrks
rounded up."
When I tell you that nut of 141,000 scales that were tested at one period,
61,000 wcro found Inaccurate, with all the Inaccuracies working to the advan
tage of the merchant, you may have some Idea of the magnitude of the
fraud In operation.
Father's New Year's Function
Paying the bills graciously on January 1 for the gifts he received from
his fnmlly lnt Saturday Is the supreme test of a man's amiability.
Strangling- the Christmas Spirit
I visited one of the exchnnge desks that have been put up temporarily
In the large department stores to accommodate the holiday rush In tho hope
of having a, word with the clerk In charge.
1 might as well have attempted to Interview the Grand Llama of Tibet,
so innccessiblo was she because of the scrambling, struggling mass of women
trying to get at her.
"These gloves are too small."
"I never use perfume."
"I must hnvo the money back."
"I couldn't wenr black."
Theso wcro a few of tho plaints distinguishable above the medley of walls
and laments.
"If every customer had an account and If every gift was charged," said
tho companion who wns with me, "then tho exchanging could be done by mall
and all this confusion avoided."
If everybody, thought I. nccepted gratefully tho gifts which she received
and kept them it would be a better way of avoiding the confusion, and tho
true Christmas spirit would be preserved, meanwhile.
The Tie That Binds
Just when a great many women have decided that the wedding ring is a
symbol of bondage, unbecoming to tho modern woman's hand, along como
the Jewelers and decreo that tho golden circlets shall be fashionnble for men.
They assert, however, that tho significance Is purely sentimental. M'LISS.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE WOMAN'S PAGE
Aridrrftti all communication! to M'I.t, cure of the Evening Ledger. Write on oiio
Hide nf the paper only.
Dear M'Llss Will you kindly tell me If there Is such a word ns "bambola"
au& what It means. I saw it in a book I was reading the other day und could
not find it in tho dictionary. I think it Is foreign, because it was In italics.
It Is an Italian word meaning "doll." EDITH A.
Dear M'Llss I want to plant homo trees on my front lawn. Can you tell
me tho very best kind for shade? How long will It take for them to become
an appreciable size? NATURE.
An expert informs me that sugar maplo Is tho best tree to plant for .shade.
Elms are also gqod. Both take several years, at least, to grow to a shade
Biving size,
i
Dear M'Llss Will tunics on skirts be In good style this spring? If so, will j
they be long or short? MRS. B.
Fashion leaders Inform me that tunics will be decidedly smart. In the I
main, they will be long, coming almost to the skirt hem, but a variation will
be noted in the softly pleated ones that fall in points in the front and rear. '
Dear M'Llss Is there a school in this city where the methods of the
modern Italian educator, Madame Montessori, are followed? Is the tuition
expensive. MOTHER.
Yes; at 4311 Walnut street, where you will be able to obtain particulars
concerning tuition, etc,
Dear M'Llss There is a book that gives the meaning of different names.
If you have it, will you let me know what "Dorothy" means? QUESTION.
Dorothy or Dorothea, I have been informed, is taken from two words,
which, translated, mean "the gift of God."
BOW LEGS AND SIMPLE
METHODS OF TREATMENT
So:
o
OJIU chlldtcn nie born with bow legs,
thcrs achieve bow legs, and still
otheis have bow legs thrust upon thorn.
Thu firstborn nlways look bow-legged,
pug-nosed, squint-eyed and generally
unsatisfactory to tho anxious fathor.
Not so the mother, she thinks the homely
little stranger bum tl fill.
If the how legs are moderate. n.s they
ore In most Instances, nature will bring
anout spontaneous tccovciy In due time
If the deformity Is seveie, operntlon Is
necessary.
Ilraces arc valuable In ictalnlng the
correction gained by operation, but It Is
very doubtful whether any advantage Is
to be hud from applying luaces with the
Idea of gradually correcting the bowing.
Massage and gentle effoits to straighten
tho legs are advlsablo la every case of
bow legs. This may be done night and
motning for live minutes.
Hut remember thnt modeiatc bow legs
will usually straighten ns the child biowh j
pernaps the one pnuioiogicni condition
a child really does "outgrow."
Tho operation for bow less may be
a bloodless one in which thu curved
bone 1h fractured, under anesthesia, and
reset in a correct position. And this pain
less, absolutely safe operntlon is the only
one that ever aroused In the heartless
author of these lines anything akin to
emotion the anxiety or the few seconds
of waiting for the bending bono to break
centered Itself viciously In the solar
plexus, but It didn't o any farther.
Sometimes It is necessary to cut down
upon tho bone to correct the deformity,
but not before the fourth year.
, People often ask If caily efforts to
walk will favor deformity of the legs.
Not If the efforts are voluntary and the
child not too fat or rrckety. Rickets
often causes bone deformities, anil many
children fed on artificial foods, like con
densed milk and malted milk and tho
cereal baby foods without raw cow's
milk, do glow too tat and develop rickets.
In another talk we shall discuss rickets.

Recurrence of Lupus
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Is a lupus spot n cancer? Will It grow
after It Is cut out?
Answer-It Is tuberculosis of the skin
or mucous membrane. Ir treated with
X-ray or Plnsen light it should not re
turn. Thnt nad Salts Habit
Is there any harm In taking a doso'of
L'psom salts twice a week to clean out
the bowels?
Answer-Yes. If you continue It moro
than a few weeks. Salts Is too harsh
all salines act by extracting water from
tho bowel wall, -and obviously that Is a
severe treatment. There are plenty of
simpler means of regulating tho bowels.
Glasses and Headache
I had glasses fitted, and for a week or
so 1 had not hendnche, but I am now
having them ns bad as ever, although
tho glasses have been changed twice.

Did You Know That
If you put a little formn!dchde In tho
corner.s of your wardrobe closets onco In

nntmnl llfo of any description lesldlng
there?
Plain white soap and cold water Is a
harmless wash to use on white furnl
tuie nml woodwork?
-Minor doors on the bedroom closet will
save money and tripping over tho cheval
gla,ss? Also, clothes trees are passe.
If you go over jour window screens with
coal oil while they nio stoied in the cel
lar, they will never rust and you won't
have so many mosquitoes in tho summer.

ices are left In the walls.

Cleaning Yellow Chiffon
"tttILL you be kind enough to print as
W soon ns vou can a formula for clean
ing yellow chiffon? It was used as a turn o
on a dress nnd has become slightly
soiled. I would like to clean It so that
It would look frish again. B. D.
Is there a bettor cleansing fluid mado
than pure gasoline? Use plenty of It. tak
ing care to havo no nrtlflclal light In the
room. It Is well to conduct tho operation
In tho bathroom, nnd nlways by daylight.
Souse the chlftpn In the fluid, shaking It
Up and down and around, and If there bo
spots upon It, rubbing them gently be
tween the hands. Change the gasoline ns
It becomes cloudy for fresh. By the way,
If you set the soiled part In a clean ves
sel, tho dirt will settlo gradually to the
hnttmn. You mnv nour tho gasoline off
slowly and use the clear portion for other
cleansing of less dellcnto fabrics. When
tho chiffon Is clean hang it In the wind,
pulling It Into shape now nnd then. When
you aro ready to put It back Upon the
dress, lay between two thicknesses of flno
muslin slightly dampened and press with
a warm iron, lightly, not to spoil the gen
eral effect.
Lost the Address
"Can you help me to locate Mrs. Charles
Hennlff, formerly a resident of Chicago
(103(6 Loomls avenue)? Tho last we
heard from her she had removed to an
other part of tho city and I havo lost
her address. I was Informed she had
sent mo a box of clothing which I need
badly. As tho box was sent to my formor
address, I am afraid I cannot get it. 1
am groatly distressed about It, and
anxious to hear particulars from my kind
friend. So, as a last hope, I am begging
the Coroner to got me tho Information
I desire so much.
"MRS. J. McC."
Tho address of tho worried woman is
entered In our books. Any cluo to tho
present homo of her friend that may lead
to the recovery of that lost property will
bo gladly forwarded to hor. There nro
attendant circumstances that make her
condition peculiarly trying.
Thinks Charge Too High
"I wish you would help mo. I havo
been 111 and I think tho doctor's bill Is
unreasonable. I nm only n maid, and
have a fathor nnd mother dependont upon
me. Can you tell me whom I can wrlto
to about this matter? A. S."
Here I confess myself utterly at a loss,
sincere as Is my wish to relievo you from
the Imposition you feel has been prac
ticed upon you. My own experience of
the medical profession disposes me to
speak of the practitioners with affection
ate respect. I believe that no body of
philanthropists In the world merits a
greater share of the world's gratitude
than the vast army of men who aro en
rolled In tho regular profession. It Is
not to be denied that quacks nbound
everywhere. If you have fallen Into tho
hands of one of these sharks, you havo
no redress w hatever. If the person whoso
charges appear unreasonably Inrge bo a
practicing, reputable physician, tell him,
frankly, that you think them unjust and
that you are not able to pay what he
domands. I am much mistaken If tho
straightforward course docs not bring
similar frankness In him and abatement
of the charges. Havo members of our
medical staff any other answer to make?
