FRANCES ANNE KNIRLE'S
CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY

Today is the centennial anniver-
sary of the birth of Frances Anne
kemble, better known TO the last
generation as Fanny Kemble She
was noted throughout the English
Speaking world as an actress of great
ability, a Shakespearean reader ami
d writer
She was the daughter Of he cele-
brated English actor, Charles KEN
Bile, and was a niece of Mrs. SiddOns.
She was born in London, Nov. 27,
1893, and secured her early educa-
tion in the British metropolis. Her
father being in financial difficulties,
she determined to aid IN filling the
family purse by going on the stage.
At the age of 20 she made her de-
but at Covent Garden, and in 1892
came to tie United States with her
father, where she won a splendid tri-
umph While on this side, in 1884,
she contracted an unfortunate mar
riage with Pierce Butler, a Philadel-
phia gentleman, and retired tempo
.eFily from the stage.
Whether due to faults of her hus-
band, or TO her own artistic tempera-
ment and desire for public applause,
the alliance resulted in unhappiness
for both She left her husband and
went to reside at Lenox, Mass. In
1917 she secured divorce, resumed
her maiden name and returned to
London From that time she re-
sided alternately in the United
States, England. and the Continent,

ton was called to It, the country did
sound rather inviting. So she hustled
around the fat for the next day or
two getting packed, and by the end
of the week the Citizens had mosied

The air was right skittish that first

hand rapidly over the cheek bones,
while his legs vibrated like the strings

thinking of morris chairs and 32-

Off to the Country
But 1t Was Not as Pleasant
as Citizen Expected

When Citizen arose in his six-roOms-
and-bath one morning week or more
ago and noticed that there was the
balminess of the gentle springtime on
the air that foated in through the bed
room window, he shifted twice in sue
cession and thought things. He went
to the front window and sized up the
trees and watched a squad of birds
putting up a nest under the rain spout
ing on the house next door.
By the time Mrs. Citizen had the
toast buttered and the stop watch
pulled on the eggs, Citizen, morning
paper in hand, came back to
the dining room after his ma
tutional ration, whistling with the
air of a man who has come to q deci-
sion about something or other.
Well" remarked Citizen, as he
reached across the table for the sugar
bowl. 81 s'pose we can be all packed
and out Of here by day after to-mor-
row without any trouble-might even
make it tomorrow"
Mrs. Citizen stopped punching at
the holes in the salt cellar with her
fork and looked up with a perplexed
stare. And where are we going?"
she inqired, curiously.
Where are we going?" repeated
Citizen. Yes, where are we going?
Huh! 1 suppose now that summer is
here well run down to Florida TO
spend a month or so. Either there or
take rooms at some river hotel in Gin
cinRati for the heated term. Where
are we going! Good, sensible. peril
nent question that. Well, just by way
Of supplying some brand new informa-
ton to you, 1 might say that we own
q little cottage out il the country not
far from the shore of Lake Erie-this
large body of fresh water to the north
of US, yknow. And I'll refresh your
memory further-we've been spending
our summers out there now for the
last six years.
"Of course it never occurred to you,"
continued Citizen, that we would be
going out there again this summer
wasn't to be expected that you would
figure that out. But we are. And what
I want to get at now is how long it'll
take you to get your la-zer-ee and
other duds gathered together so we
en- get out there just as soon as pos
sible If you can't pack EN- up in
the next day or so yourself better
hire somebody to come in and do it,
because I'm getting an awful hankering
for the country thing myself. The
Almighty never intended mankind to
live in a city with this kind OF wealth
er going on"
But isn't It a little early to be
going to the country" suggested
Mrs. Citizen interrogatively. Aren't
you afraid it might be a little
too cold?"
Citizen bestowed e half Pitying
glance upon her before he replied "Of
course" says he, there's no such
thing as fires out in the country. Very
poor, I suppose, to sit in front Of
nice big wood fire in an open CRATE if
it happens to get little cold some
evening. You'd rather sit by a steam
radiator, hey? l wouldn't doubt it
Well, you can stay in town and

want to, but I'm serving notice on you
that I'm going out where the fresh
air comes from and I'm going pretty
