Again, there was the time actually
demanded of me by the dictates of
fashion for the dressing and adorning of
my person. Every day, and occasionally
oftener, I was to hook, pin, button, or
otherwise fasten upon my person, from
siXteen to twenty different articles of
apparel, exclusive of pins, hair-pins,
rings, chains, bTaids, curls, and friZzes,
the number of these being, mathemati-
cally considered, an indeterminate
quantity. Then there was the care of
these articles, seeing that they were in
a proper condition for use and orna-
mentatiOn. Perhaps you will say had

self to all this labor in order to attain
my highest cultivation.

The Wife of Byron's Grandson.

Many times may be seen at Brighton
fair woman, upon whose head falls the
sunshine yet from the eastern horizon
of life, whose contours have u girlish
roundness, but whose features begin to
show the harsh touch of the chisel of
care. Looking upon her, one would be-
lieve her to be girl yet, for her years
cannot be more than 23-one who has
been a very Pysche of girls, and is not
yet far separated from a radiant, buoy
ant youth. And yet this fair woman is
one whose name has been smirched by
one of the most mOnstrous scandals of
fashionable English society. She is the
wife of member of the proudest aris-
tOcracy in the world, who is heir to two
earldOms, and whose wealth is so great
that he himself hardly knows its ex-
tent. This is Lord Wentworth, son of
Lady LOvelace, who was "Ada, sole
daughter of my house and heart" of
the poet, Lord Byron. BY the paternal
line, he will inherit the title and honors
of Lord LOvelace; by the maternal, he
came into possession of his present one
Ada Byron, the first Lady LOvelace,
was of very peculiar temperament,
inheriting from her father the morbid
conditions which in his case were a re-
dictionary effect of emotional dissipa-
tiOn, but in hers a constitutional de-
preston. Hers was not happy mar
ried life, although one free from scandal;
and Lord LOvelace, when he was mis-
taken for a servant by the pretty widow
who was afterwards his wife, upon the
hotel steps at Madrid, perhaps felt the
first warmth of the revived emotion
which Lord ByrOn's pulseless daughter

from the elder branch, in his early
youth abandoned his home, his luxuri-
Gus habits, and all the refined associa-
tiOns of his rank, and worked for months
| in IA bIacksmth's shop. Later, he mar
ried a publican's daughter, and died

DONE ENOUGH FOR HIS COUNTRY
An old American Revolutionary soldier
was a Candidate for Congress, and his
opponent was n young man who chad
never been to the wars" and it was the
custom of the old soldier to tell of the
hardships he endured. Said he: "Fel-
low citizens, have fought and bled for
my country. 1 have helped to whip
the British and the Indians. l have
slept on the field of battle with no other
covering than the canopy of heaven.
have walked over the frozen ground
until every footstep was marked with
| blood" Just about this time, one of
the voters, who had become greatly in
terested in his tale of sufferings, walked
up to the speaker, wiped the tears from
his eyes with the extremity of his coat
tail, and interrupted him with: "Did
you say you had fout the British In
gins ?" ayes, sir" "Did you say you
slept on the ground while sarving your
kentry without any kiver?" "Yes,n
replied the speaker, exultantly. "Well,
then," said the fearful speaker, as he
gave sigh of pent-up emotion, "I

DEPRIVED OF HER CHILD.-James P.
Day and his wife, during his lifetime,
had some litigation, in which he claimed
that child, which his wife claimed as
theirs, was not so. In his will he left
his wife only $1,000, and that only on
condition that she should not contest
the will. He left $1,000 to his execu-
tors to be used to maintain the child,
whom he described as his "adopted
child" at the Academy of the Holy
Cross, where she then was, or at some
other suitable institution, in their dis
cretiOn; but all payments were to cease
if his wife attempted to control the
child, or the child voluntarily lived
with her. The matter came up yester-
day, on a writ of hdbedS corpus obtained
by Mrs. Day, before Judge DOnohue in
Supreme Court Chambers. The Superb
Dress of the Academy produced the
child, now eight years old, and the re-
turn set up the will of the father.
Counsel for the Academy claimed that
under the laws of 1913 the father had
the right to dispose of his child during
its minority without regard to the
wishes of the mother, and that in his
will he had done so. The counsel for
the mother stated that she had no de-
sire to remove the child from the Acad-
emy, which in view of the smallness of
the provision for her maintenance, was
probably the best place for her. The OBJ
ject of the proceeding was to procure
access for the mother to the child, at
proper times, subject to less surveillance
than had hitherto been exercised, and
to have the child occasionally, in time
of vacation, visit her mother for day
or two. The Court reserved its decision.

During the twelve years of its exist
ence, the Working Women's Protective
Union has found employment for 1910
working women, besides giving helpful
information and advice to 1888 others.
The object of this society is to promote
the interests of those women who OBJ
tain livelihood by employment other
than household service, and especially
to provide them with legal protection
from the frauds and impOsitions of un-
scTupulOus employers. Small sums Of
money, in the form of temporary loans,
have been distributed among working
women to meet their immediate and
pressing necessities. These loans have
been made during the last seven years,
and without any pledges, yet their
scrupulous repayment, in a majority of
cases, indicates the honesty of the bor-
rowers. Out of over $2l45, the actual
deficiency is not more than S25. Legal
prosecutions for the collection of unpaid
wages have been made without cost to
working women, the total amount OBJ
tanned by the Union as the result of le-
gal and other measures being, at the
close of last year, over S16,4ll. Dis
honest employers and unscrupulous
agents practice numerous frauds upon
poor women, particularly upon seam
stresses; but the very fact of the exist
ence of such a society as the Protective
Union, tends to make many such per-
sons practice an enforced honesty fol-
fear of the results. The officers give
their personal services, and the counsel
of the board and legal adviser in all
prosecutions receives no other compen-
isation than the legal fees obtained
through judgment against those who re.
sist the rightful claims made in behalf
of working women. The expenses o.
the society are borne by the voluntary
contributions of those who approve the
work.

Elihu Burritt is regarded as one of
the remarkable men of the century.
School boys have been pointed to him
as model of perseverance,. He acquired
knowledge of Latin and French during
his apprenticeship, and, at the age of
Thirty, was master of several Ian
guages, although a good mechanic,
working at his forge from eight to ten
hours per day. A woman is expected
to learn and practice housekeeping, a
trade with its thousand details, far
more difficult than black-smithing, and

many languages as a Burritt, must
