Early Life of Notable Women.

A great deal is heard about seli.made
men. Here are some interesting facts
about self-made women: Sarah Barn
hardt was dressmaker's apprentice.
Adelaide Nelson began life as chiid's
nurse. Miss Braddon, the novelist,
played small parts in the provinces.
Charlotte Cushman was the daughter
OF poor people. Mrs. Langtry was
the handsome daughter of country
parson of small means, but the old
story OF face being fortune proved
true in her case. The great French
actress, Rachel, had as hard ohild-
hood as ever fell to the lot Of genius.
Ragged, bareiooted and hungry, she
played the tambourine in the streets
and sang and begged for dole. Natur-
ally, she was ilIiterate and vulgar.
Christine Nilsson was poor Swedish
peasant, and ran barefooted in child
hood. Jenny Lind, also Swede, was
the daughter OF principal Of young
Iadies' boarding school.
