The most widely read poem In Italy
was written by a present day Italian
woman. Ada Negri, who is now only
thirty-two years old.
The poem Is entitled ''The Working
Mother and has appeared again and
again In every newspaper In Italy,
most frequently in those which are read
by the working classes, and thus has
become as familiar to the Italian peo-
pie as Longfcllows Psalm Of Life" Is

OF her career and a revelation OF the
feelings Of a woman In her clrcum
stances. Her father died when she was
a mere child, and her mother led mis-
erable life OF labor and sacrifice In or
der to secure an education for her child.
In 1916 Miss Negri married n wealthy
manufacturer named Garlanda, who
has placed her and her mother in sur
roundings OF the greatest luxury and
beauty, although she still continues
her literary work and publishes her
poems under her maiden name.-Chi-
