Skin Feeling Natures
Aid to New Complexion
cFrom Woman,s TrIbune.l

Mercolized wax is a natural beau
tifier. BY taking off the devitalized
surface skin, it merely hastens Ma
lures work. The second skin layer,
brought gradually to view, exhibits
the healthy, youthful color produced
by capillary circulation. This because
the capillaries are thus brought nearer
the surface; also because the new skin
is unsoiled by dust and dirt. This

cold cream, washed off mornings with
warm water. Its work usually is com
pleted in from seven to ten days, long
enough not to show too marked re-
suits from day to day, or cause pain
or detention indoors.
A face bath to remove wrinkles,
made by dissolying an ounce Of saxo-
lite in a half pint witch hazel, is an
other natural beautifier, since it's as

mountain spring and her character well
pruned and bent toward the right and
its maintenance through a long school
ing OF life. Her heart was at all times with
the Union. Not that she was bigoted in
her attitude toward the south and its
growing misfortune. but she was out
spoken and frank in her interest in and
allegiance to the Federals. Tradition has
it that though she could move only with
difficulty, she was a frequent visitor at
those homes where she could get au-
thentic reports of the movements of the
armies and where she was sure of sym
pathy with her own sentiments. She had
undoubted faith in the business of the
Union cause. and it is said great was
her belief in its eventual success that
she was never cast down by the defeats
it suffered, although she was always jul
bilant over its victories.

On the second or third day after Lee
had entered Frederick an incident oc-

velopment in the heroism of Mrs. Frit-

1t was during Jackson's march through
Frederick on his way to Harpers Ferry
that the immortal incident Of Whittier's
ballad is believed to have occurred. True
enough. the poem is full of inaccuracy,
but ii was not a record the great poet
was putting on file for the use of critics
and historians, but was a spontaneous
child of his brain created for the enjoy
ment of his own and future generations
a work of art centered about a theme
that lent itself to the imaginative faculty
with much felicity. No one is justified

his body was removed to Mount Olivet
cemetery. where, beside those of his wife

Very little related to the life and habits
of Barbara FTitchie remains as a me-
mortal to her. The house in which she
lived is now the bed Of an historic little
creek that winds It's way down through
Frederick from the mountains to the
waters of the Potomac and on to the sea
The stream which then ran beside it
gradually cut away its banks until, just
in time to prevent it tumbling into the
stream, the house was RACED to make
way for improvements. The house is now
marked by a small board bearing line
OF Whittier's poem and the fact that the
home of Barbara Fritchie once stood
there.
In the original of the poem by Whittier
Mrs. Fritchie's name was spelled
"Freitchie-" This has in many cases been
copied exactly. In others 1t has been
changed to .Frietchie.'' The correct spell
ing "Fr;tchie," as given by relatives, is
used herein.
There are few persons living in Fred
erick that remember Barbara Fritchie,
but from records and relatives who have
had handed down to them the reverent

has been compiled as accurately as pos
Sible.
Barbara Fritchie was the Oldest daugh-
ter of Catherine and Nicholas Hsuer and
was born on the Sd of December. 1865, In
the German town of Lanca ster, Pa. Her
birth was among surroundings that diff
fered little from those of her parents in
the fatherland. At that time Lancaster
was almost wholly German. The customs
and manners of the old country re-
mained unauthorized, the inheritance Of
it's children transpla nted to this section of
the new world.
Little that is authentic comes down to
us about her childhood except that at an
early age she was received into the Re-
formed Church by baptism. 1t is easy
to conclude from what we know from her
mature years that in the strenuous scenes
of revolutionary days her inner life must
have received the impact that nodded her
character and disposition to loyalty and
patriotism. With such q temper of mind
and heart she must have keenly appre-

poetical license, so To achieve "A ballad

slavish historical accuracy, but for It's in

all would have DETECTED their gaze from
these to be 4 described by an old neighbor
waving a defiant flag.
Besides. the fact shat many citizens of
Frederick for many years believed SIN

way to justify one in regarding the main
facts as true.
These adherents, as well as those from
distance who cherished the tradition. car
ried off almost every piece or the debris
of her house when ii was RACED some
years after her death to make way for
civic improvements. Canes were made OF
the wood and when the wood gave out
bricks were taken away and preserved as
souvenirs. :,
Two days after the departure OF TIE
Confederates the Federal troops occupied
the town. amid great plaudits, and ad-
yanced westward in pursuit of the re-
treating army 1t can be imagined how
Mrs Fritchie, watching the Union sol
diers by her house, must have reJoiced
with her tremendous capacity for patriot
ism and loyalty. 1t Is recorded that her
flag was by her side at the window and
so lofty and inspired was her expression
that more than one officer was attracted
by it and stopped to greet her. Among
them was Gen. Reno, whose untimeiy
death she mourned few days later.
Barbara Fritchie lived only few weeks
after this event. She died December IL.
1S6o, in the ninety-seventh year OF her
age. and was buried beside her husband
in the German Reformed Church yard.
