# Woman of the Century/Elizabeth Dayton

​DAYTON, Mrs. Elizabeth, poet and author, born in Chertsey, Surry, England, 25th December, 1848. She is best known by her pen name, " Beth Day." When a child, she moved with her parents to Wisconsin, which has since been her home. Growing up in the intellectual atmosphere of a literary family, and endowed by nature with a peculiarly gifted and imaginative mind, she began ELIZABETH DAYTON. early to exercise the poetic faculty. Although Mrs. Dayton's lot has been cast among what would seem to he uncongenial associations, she has the happy faculty of idealizing common things, and some of her best work has been wrought out of material that some might deem too coarse for a poet's uses. Although burdened with the cares and duties of a farmer's wife, she has found time to send out many stories, sketches and poems, and has written for a number of years for the "Youth's Companion," Chicago "Inter-Ocean," "Godey's Lady's Book," "Demorest's Magazine," the "Weekly Wisconsin," "Home Magazine" and many other prominent periodicals. During the brief but brilliant career of "Our Continent,' edited by Judge Tourgee, she was one of its contributors. She writes for juvenile magazines, in addition to her other literary work. Her home was for some years in a pleasant spot on Fox river, near Wrightstown, Wis., but in the autumn of 1891 she removed to South Kaukauna, Wis. Up to that date Mrs. Dayton's literary work had been but the recreation of a busy woman, but now, relieved of the cares and almost endless labor of farm life, she is devoting more time to her pen.
# What Means This, When I Lie Alone?

What means this when I lie alone? I toss, I turn, I sigh, I groan. My bed me seems as hard as stone. What means this?
I sigh, I plain continually. The clothes that on my bed do lie Always methink they lie awry. What means this?
In slumbers oft for fear I quake. For heat and cold I burn and shake. For lack of sleep my head doth ache. What means this?
A mornings then when I do rise I turn unto my wonted guise, All day after muse and devise. What means this?
And if perchance by me there pass She unto whom I sue for grace, The cold blood forsaketh my face. What means this?
But if I sit near her by With loud voice my heart doth cry And yet my mouth is dumb and dry. What means this?
To ask for help no heart I have. My tongue doth fail what I should crave. Yet inwardly I rage and rave. What means this?
Thus have I passed many year And many a day, though naught appear But most of that that most I fear. What means this?

# Woman of the Century/Harriet A. Brown

​BROWN, Mrs. Harriet A., inventor, born in Augusta, Maine, 20th February, 1844. She is of Scotch parentage and early in life was thrown upon her own resources. By contact with working girls she learned of the long hours, hard work and small wages of which most of them complained, and her ardent desire was to alleviate their distress. Mrs. Brown conceived the idea of establishing a HARRIET A. BROWN. regular school of training for women who desired to make themselves self-supporting, and, on the solicitation of many prominent and philanthropic women of Boston, she opened the Dress-Cutting College in that city on 17th October, 1886. In opening her college, she had the cooperation of those who induced her to establish such a school in Boston, but the underlying ideas, the scientific rules for dress-cutting, the patented system used, and all the methods of instruction, are her own. It is to her judicious wisdom and practical experience the college owes its success. The chief aim of the institution is to be one in which girls of ability and taste, who are now engaged in stores, workshops and kitchens, may find employment for which they are better adapted. Mrs. Brown's system of cutting is the result of years of study. All its points she has thoroughly mastered, and has succeeded in patenting rules for cutting, and also obtained the only patent for putting work together. She has received numerous medals and diplomas as testimonials of the superiority of her methods, and her system is being used the leading industrial schools and colleges of the country. Delegates from the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., after investigating all the principal European methods, adopted Mrs. Brown's system, and it has been in use for two years in that institution. It is one of the regular features of the Moody Schools, Northfield. Mass., where young women are educated for missionary work. Mrs. Brown is ah occasional contributor to the newspaper press.
