I do not wish to convey the idea that. no woman looks well in black. Some look positively captivating. 1 have in mind a young lady who reminds me of an orchid. She has its mystery, its beauty, its excuse for being, and she usually wears black. Real' beauty is its own excuse, and there are some women in the world (very few) who are like the precious stones or the rare flowers, here just to decorate the place.' The, young lady I refer to is one of these, and there is a warmth about her which is like the heat in spices.
Let us leave off black and sombre shades in the home, and strike the utai note boldly with colour and embroidery. It would not be any more expensive than the everlasting black, dark green and navy blue, and would look much more artistic.
THE DAY OF THE LADY DOCTOR IN ENGLAND
By 1925 it is anticipated that ther will be a new army of women doctors practising, for there are nearly 3,000 women students taking up medicine to-day.
"The administrator of one of the biggest colleges in London said to a "Daily Chronicle" representative that there had never before been such a rush of women students for this profession.
There are many reasons for this," said an official at one institution. "First there was the scarcity of men doctors brought about by the war. Then there is the very large number of additional jobs going, through the progressive public attitude towards social -welfare and child life.
"These appointments will increase from year to year, as it is realized what great factors the clinic and medical inspectors are."
