M. DURAN IN AMERICA.
Most Celebrated 'Porlrait Painter in the
World.
Carolus Duran, the celebrated
French artist, the painter of beautiful
womenand the Prince of Wales and
other princes and members of the roy-
alty, is making his first visit to the
United States. '
M. Duran is a striking looking man,
tall, elegant, (hair worn long, slightly
curling,‘ pointed beard, " small hands
and feet, with the added distinction of
a plentiful display of jewelry.
The artist, whose real name, by the
W. is Charles Emile Durand, is six-
M. DURAN.
ty-one years old. He is proud of the
fact that [he is self-made. His father
was a \horse dealer in one of the Paris
suburbs and his mother kept a small
cafe frequented by students. He
worked hard for his artistic education,
and managed to visit Spain and Italy.
He has founded a school of his own
in portrait paintingand gets big prices
for his work, ranging from $3,000 for
abouts for mother and child. Among
his best known works is a portrait of
Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Mrarl-'
borough.
He is said to have painted portraits
of more beautiful women than any
other artist in the world. His other
works include “Evening Prayer,” “A
Vision,” “Dame at Cant” and “Gloria
Mariae Medicis.” Much of his work
is in the luxembourg Museum of
Paris. '
FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR.
She was a Successlul Practitioner Nearly
300 B. C.
rope, as far as is known, was a young
Athenian woman named Agnodice.
the year B. C. 300 she disguised herself
as a man and began to attend the med-
ical schools at Athens; which it was
, against the law for a woman to do. She 1'-
afterward practiced among the women '
of Athens with extraordinary success.
But her secret becoming known, she
\vas'posecuted for studying and prac-
ticing medicine illegally. The Athen-
ian women, however, raised so furious
an agitation in consequence that the
case was dropped and the law repeal-
ed. Coming to later times, we find sev-
eral women who obtained the degree
of doctor of medicine and practiced-in
Europe before 1492, especially in the
Moorish universities of Spain.
Trotula of Ruggiero in the eleventh
century had a European reputation,
and practiced as a doctor in Salerno.
At the beginning of the fourteenth
century Dorothea Bocchi not only re-
ceived the degree of doctor, but was
professor of medicine in the famous
University of Bologna. Si he then two
other ladies have been professors of
medical subjects in the same univer-
sity—Anna MangOlini
Dr. Maria delle Donne (obstetric medi;
cine), the latter being appointed in
1799. In the year 1311 an edict was is-
sued in France forbidding surgeons
and female surgeons to practice until
they had passed a satisfactory exam-
ination before the proper authorities.
These female surgeons are again re-
fered to in an edict of 1352.——Pittsburg
Dispatch.
The Fashionable Siberian.
For five months or the year the
Siberian man of fashion lives in the
open air, either at the mining camp
or in the hunting field. He is an early
bird under all circumstances, and in-
variably rises between ? and 8 o’clock,
although he may have had but a couple
of hours’ rest. Nearly every meal is
succeeded by a. nap. However, dres-
sing operations do not take very long,
for when he retires the Siberian only
divests himself of his coat and boots.
Shirts are unknown in Siberia, and in
many houses beds, also. The samovar
ls set on the dining room table at 8 A.
M., together with eggs, black and white
bread, sardines, jam and cakes, &c.
Breakfast is eaten and washed down
by five or six glasses of tea stirred up
with sugar, cream, apd sometimes jam.
At one o’clock dinner is served, and at
5 in the afternoon another small meal,
much like that of the morning is taken.
A meal: supper follows at nine o’clock.

Making Business.
The proprietor of the shoe shop sat
on a‘pack'ing case and looked envious-
ly at the rival establishment across
_ the way.
“I wonder why it is that he is get-
ting all the business,” he said.
“He has gone over his entire stock,”
explained the ~ clerk, who had taken
the trouble to investigate the matter,
“and has renumbered the sizes. As a.
result a woman who ordinarily wears
a. No. 3 shoe can be fitted with a No.
l in his store.”
Then, of course, it was apparent why
nine out of every ten women in town
absolutely refused to patronize any one
user-Chicago Evening Post.

Its Author, Not content to Best Upon the
. Laurels Already Won.
Liza Lehmann’s musical setting of
Fitzgerald’s versiOn of the Rubaiyat‘
of‘Omar Khayyam, which has become
an extraordinary fad among fashion-
abl'e folk, has aroused much pardon-
able curiosity regarding the composer
-—a curiosity not hitherto gratified,
In private life the writer of the song-
cyclus, “In a Persian Garden,” is Mrs.
Arthur BereSford, no relative, how-
ever, of the Beresfqrd family to which
the former Duchess of Marlborough
has tallied herself. _.
She lives in London/and remains
there much of the time. Her home life
is delightfully domestic, although she
lives in an atmosphere of art and mu-
sic, and enjoys great social distinction.
Her father, Rudolph Lehmann, was a.
painter well-known throughout Ger-
many,“ and her mother was a com-
poser of songs Wthil always bore tne
signature of “A. 1’1.”
It is small wonder that the child of
such parents early developed genius.
Miss Lehmann’s early songs, writ-
ten some years before the song—cyclus,
bore the unmistakable stamp ofcrea-
tive power, and attained considerable
popularity in England, although little
known in this country. Before her
marriage Miss Lehmann was a con-
cert singer and possessed a beautiful
lyric soprano voice. or late, how-
everfshe has devoted herself to her
home and compositions, and seldom
sings in public.
To most persons the accomplishment
of a work like “In a,Persian Garden,”
at the age of 31 years, would be glory
enough, but Miss Lehmann is not con-
tent to rest upon laurels already wen
and is busy now with other composi-
tions. - -- ~ -
Miss Lehmann has a striking person-
ality. She is of medium size and mod-
est as a flower, her fair hair falls in
light, fluffy curls about her forehead
and frames at girlish face. Her eyes
express the poetic and soulful nature
which is apparent in the music she
has written and which adapts itself so
appreciatively to the verse. Not the
least of her charms is the absence of
pretense. She is the personification of
amiability and has none of the affecta-
tions which frequently accompany suc-
cess. She is a. charming hostess, and,
being a remarkable linguist, the talent
and genius of many lands are to be
found at her house on her days at
home.

A New Style Bicycle Dress.
Bicycle dresses, the choicest, are
made of double-faced woolen material.
Oftenest it is plaidon one side, plain
on the other. The, right side is the
one which My Lady fancies. Often
the faces contrast. And the most
pretentious tailors dare to make up,
say, a fabric of plaid red and black
doubled with hunter’s green, so that
the skirt is of the red and black and
the jacket green. But such vivid con-
trasts are intended mainly for country
use. Less gay cciorings in plaid and
plain are chosen for city bicycling.
* The plaid especially approved is
formed by simple cross lines of one
line against another. For example,
gray against black. The skirt of the
gray and black plaid, the jacket of

For the Tea Tables.
The easiest way to manage the tea.-
table for ap afternoon ”at home” is to ,
have the tea made in a fairly large"
china teapot, putting the tea-leaves in ,
bags that may be removed at the prop-‘
er time. This pot of tea may be made
as strong as is consistent with good
flavor and hygienic brew, and on the
tea-table should be an urn of hot water
kept at the boiling point by..an alcohol
lamp, this to be used for dil‘uting pur-
poses for such as prefer the beVerage
weak. The tea-balls are dainty and
pretty, but their constant use interferes
with the reception duties ,of the
hostess. In large establishments.
where plenty of maids are at hand,
there may be a fresh brew for each
caller and for each cup, but the method
suggested secures the greatest economy
of time and service. ‘
