CHARMING DOLLY MADISON,
The Greatest of All the Mistresses of
the White HOune.

The Greatest of All the Mistresses of
the White House.
To define the charm of n charming
woman is always difficult. Dolly Mad
isons features were not regular, nor
was her figure perfect She was not
witty, nor was she wise, and she par
ticipated little IL at all in her hus-
bands intellectual life. Nevertheless
she stands out as the greatest of all
mistresses Of the White House, and
her popularity was unbounded She
ruled over her world in Washington
with genial good nature and instiDc-
tive tact. Her nature was warm, uf-
fectlonate and impressionable. She
loved life and people. and her world
loved her Her brilliant coloring, AMI
mated face and well rounded figure
went with Il cordial manner and a sym
pathy for those about her amounting
to genius, and she was always ready
to bubble into laughter
Who could resist such woman, the
wife of president? She was the cen
ter Of observation at the inaugural
ball, but she would have been the cen
ter Of observation at any ball even II
she had not been the presidents wife
She had, in fact. ruled as indisputably
over the little boarding house in Phila-
delphia kept by her mother when she
was the Widow Todd as she did ov,r
the White House as Mrs. Madison

No Dutch or English man can affirm
the discovery Of the Hudson river.
Verrazzano must have distanced Hud-
sons archives by nearly hundred
years. However, the Dutch and Eng
lish liaison in the matter is close. Hud-
son is appropriated by Dutch minds
and has a Holland tradition round him.
He came in a Dutch yacht called the
Half Moon in 1909. His sailors were
Hollanders and Engllshmen. He rep.
resented a Dutch East India company
on its way to find the much sought
for northeast passage to India. He
explored the Hudson, going as far as
the little town that bears his name,
and he himself has been transmitted
to posterity with such blended and
mixed traditions as to constitute him
well nigh half breed in peoples
minds.

The fact that sea water contained
gold was first made patent, we believe,
by the observation that the deposit on
the copper plating Of jetty piles In sea
harbors was comparatively rich in the
precious metal. On the estimate that
a ton Of sea water contains approx.
mately one grain, the yield would
amount to something like 200 tons Of
gold per cubic mile and, as the volume
Of the worlds ocean is estimated at
400,0OO,00O cubic miles, the total pos.
sible yield of gold would be no less

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born In
Lynn, Mass, February 9th, 1919, COM
ing from good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
Turing her career as a teacher she be-
came known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and daugh-
.er.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
IF drugs.
Mrs Pinkham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
SO beautifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses of the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
J pairing medicines for her family and
friends.

her sex, after much study and re-
search, Mrs. Pinkham believed that

How her efforts have been rewarded

Ser Ellice agreed to take charge of it
for a night or two until a decision
could be made.
The night or two expanded into a
month or two and still the baby did
not go, and finally it came to be an

not going at all. OF course it was
