Mrs. Leggett. with the wisdom that
marks the thinking woman, grasped
the dilemma by the horns as soon as
her little girl reached the observing
age. and began throwing about her
those subtle influences that tend against
circumstances and self-concentra-
ton of a child, whether in the home OF
affluence or of poverty.
To understand Little France one must
know something Of her mother She has
been described as a very beautiful wo-
man, tall, well proportioned, with large
dark eyes, which. when she talks, have
lights as golden as her voice. She
speaks with the full deep eontralto Of
the ideal Englishwoman.
In American society she holds a unique
positior. She fosters art and music, let
tiers and science, and at her social func-
tons one sees more people who are dis
tinctly famous for some worthy accom-
plishment in fields kindred to these
