so strange that women should take up scientific work There vis no reason why a woman shouldnt do scientific research and do It well too she declares She ought to be expected to do it Just as

Richardson is member of a very talented family her Ibrother being Dr Charles Richardson the specialist Her taste for scientific matters is a family trait Her Stody of tbe Isopod How did you become so Interested in scientific workT she was asked At college first said Miss Richardson I was at Vassar and I was par ticularly Interested in biology When I came home my brother suggested that I go on with my study over here at the Smithsonian and I did so Then I began to work for the doctors degree at George Washington University which I took two years ago My work for my thesis drew my attention especially to the isopod May I ask what an Isopod isT hrrmbly Inquired the visitor Wiry I believe it is commonly called the pill bug laughed Miss Richardson although the edentifio terms are used here so entirely that we almost forget the common ones Miss Richardson toss already published in addition to her thesis some six or seven papers upon her chosen subject and is now buslly at work upon a monograph covering all tS North American forms of the isopod This she has been Photo by Frances Beojunts Johnston Mrs Flora WAmba uhPattmon at work upon for two years and it will probably be six months before it Is out although part of tt Ts nowljn proof Miss Richardsons formidable title of doctor and sfce is called Dr Richardson by all her associates at the 6mltheonlan utterly tmprepares one for the glowing young woman found in the gloomy museum library Miss Richard son ts an emphatic refutation of the tradition that a scholarly woman must necessarily be a prosy bluestocking and a spectacled grind She is splendidly built with merry eyes and tnirmy abundant hair daintly gowned and quite as familiar wHb the ways of the social as of the Insect worldV She is charming to meet modest

Miss Mitchell of those months of work It had already been ascertained that that particular mosquito carried yellow fever infection but there was need to go into the whole matter very closely Often we
