II was when Charlotte was 81 that
she published "Jane Eyre" which.
though it was declared by the Quar-
terly Review to, be IAN eminently

ately achieved great fame.
For a time Charlotte managed to
conceal the identity OF. Currer Bell

offered as to the real authorship. One
rumor had IT that the book was writ

cray who, so the rumor went, Thack-

in "Vanity Fair" which had just
been published, In retaliation the
governess was said to have written
Jane Eyre depicting Thackeray him

This supposition must have amused
Charlotte Bronte, who was great
-admirer of Thackeray.
In spite of the success that now
came to Miss Bronte her life was
saddened by the death of her father,

fathers, but she died the follow

Born in Yorkshire, England. in 1916,
the daughter of poor clergyman,
the great novelist spent most. of her
life in retirement in the society of
her father and two younger sisters,
Emily and Anne. who shared Char
lottes literary endowments. As
child in school, Charlotte is described
as anything but pretty" an ex-
ceedingly thin, dried in" sort of
child, who refused to play with other
children. and, then, as always, as
shy and retiring as the Jane Eyre
whom she created.
Charlotte Bronte's life was one of
great sadness. Much of her time
seems to have been spent in trying
to find means of aiding her father in
the support of sisters and a worth
less brother, Bramwell, who gave
promise of becoming portrait pain
ter and succeeded only in bringing
dishonor upon his family. When
Charlotte was &c she and one of her
sisters went to Brussels, hoping to
fit themselves TO take up teaching for
living, and after two years absence
returned home to find their father
rapidly losing his sight.
After this Charlotte and her sisters
published a book of poems signed
Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. names
having the same initials as those of

MONDAY, APRIL 81. 1918.
3 While Mars and Venus Frown
No One Shall Win Ren0wn.

Beginning today the sun is in the
zodiacal sign Taurus, the bull, with
Venus as the ruling planet.
The day is, on the whole, rather an
unlucky one, according to the astrolo-
gers. Mars and Venus in malefic
aspect to the moon are said to send
many disturbing vibrations toward
the earth.
Domestic conditions are under an
unfortunate rule. Women are likely
to be easily affected by thoughts Of
discomfort; they are also sensitive
and liable to take offense in small
matters.
The signs are not suspicious for
weddings or for any social entertain
ments. During this aspect 1t is wise
to avoid extending any hospitality.

feel the unfortunate Influences, the
