Rh Holyoke College. Her specialty has been diseases of women and chiklren. While devoted to her profession, she is interested in the progressive movements of the day, and her sympathies are as broad as humanity.

Dr. Frissell is the author of several interesting papers, notably one on Memorial Day in Hampton, Va. She presented before the American Medical Association a valuable paper on the treatment of diphtheria without alcohol, which was published in the American Medical Association Journal, November 13, 1897. She has also written papers on the following topics: "Tobacco," "Contents of a Teapot," "Why I'm a Temperance Doctor," "Hygiene: Why it should be taught in our Public Schools," "Prevention better than Cure," "Colonial Flags and the Evolution of the Stars and Stripes," also "Pioneer Women in Medicine."

AE DURELL FRAZAR was born Calais, Me. Her father, the Rev. George Wells Durell, was an Episcopalian clergyman. The early years of her life were spent in the quiet New England town of her birth. Later the family removed to Somerville, Mass., where she attended the public schools. She married General Douglas Frazar, a gentleman who had travelled widely and had much literary attainment. He was the author of several books, one of which, "Practical Board Sailing," has been translated into many languages, and is in use to-day among all standard yacht clubs. When asked where she received her education, Mrs. Frazar answers: "Why, I am being educated now. It has been a daily growth right along. All that I am. however, I feel that I owe to Mr. Frazai. In my own home I learned rich lessons from books, people, and the world."

Mrs. Frazar is, doubtless, the best known and the most enterprising and successful if not the only woman tourist agent in the United States. She is a cheery, wide-awake body, full of originality and up-to-date ideas. The story of the life of the woman who has personally conducted abroad, with skill and .satisfaction during the past twelve years, the "Frazar Parties," frecjuently mentioned in the newspapers of our own and other countries, is most interesting.

A chance visitor will find her in her office at almost any hour of the day, busy at her desk; for she is a journalist and lecturer as well as guide and philosopher. She is so calm in manner, so full of courteous attention to her caller, that it is difficult to realize what an indefatigable worker the woman is. Quick and keen in business, energetic, courageous in expressing her views, she is yet a most womanly woman. Contact with the world has not robbed her of her strong personality or her feminine refinement.

It was after several years of intermittent newspaper writing that Mrs. Frazar became editor and publisher of a paper called The Home Life. As the name implies, it was meant to be useful and instructive to all members of the family. It was a journal of sixteen pages and of excellent literary cordiality. She edited it entirely herself and attended to all the advertising, bringing the circulation up in three years to over ten thousand copies. When engaged in this work she came in contact with all sorts and conditions of men, and gained an intimate knowledge of business life.

Yielding to an urgent request to take charge of a party of young people during a European trip, she returned to find General Frazar's health failing. A change of climate was ordered, and they took up their residence in the city of Mexico. This change necessitated giving up the paper. Being sole owner of the business, she quickly arranged with another journal to fill her subscriptions until their expiration. She retained all the copyrights, and looks forward to the day when she shall have opportunity to give The Home Life a new lease of existence.

While in Mexico she made a careful study of the people and their customs, and furnished a' syndicate of nine papers with letters during her entire stay in that charming country. Mr. Frazar continued to fail, antl after eight years of heroic suffering died in 1896 in his native State, Massachusetts.

In 1889 Mrs. Frazar started, as a regular
