While the hair is still wet with the mixture put it up in papers, and the next day it will be found soft and easy to manage.—"Chic." In London alone there are now over eighty registered and qualified medical women, almost all of whom are in practice. Some of these hold posts in dispensaries, hospitals, children's hospitals, infirmaries, posts as ophthalmic surgeons, assistant anaesthetists, medical examiners, inspectors, and lecturers. Not only has almost every large English town a lady medico, but even the remote Orkney Islands have qualified women as medical officers. The rapidity with which women have spread over the medical field can best be gauged by remembering that the London School of Medicine for Women was only founded in 1874. Economical Pudding.
