Among the departments of work of the
General Federation of Women's clubs
none is more active than the art depart
ment, at the head of which is Mrs. Mel
VILE F. Johnston Of Richmond, Ind. A
bulletin from New Orleans tells something
of her personality and work. and that of
several women who are associated with
her. Born IN log cabin of Quaker par
ents, there was little in Mrs. Johnston S
early surroundings TO suggest a career
dominated by the aesthetic. But an innate
love of the beautiful in form and color led
her to lay hold "f every help that came
in her way, and it is due chiefly to her
efforts that Richmond has come to be one
of the best .:nown art centers in the
United States.
Mrs. Johnston believes emphatieally in
art for the masses, and that women >

1t is a most fascinating romance, The
love affair between Lord Nelson and Lady
Hamilton. yet fascinating in that it shows
to very bad advantage the weak side
in the character of England's great naval
hero. If Lord Nelson had never met ard
formed an attachment for Lady Hamilton
his country would have very much more
respect for him. AS a public officer dis
charging his duty England could have
asked nothing more of him, but his pri-
vate life is SO deep blot upon his name
that it bedims much of his naval glory.
The most deplorable part of the whole
liaison is that Horatio Nelson was mar
ried, and to "A woman who was quite his
social and intellectual equal. Lady Nell
son was a widow when Nelson married
her on March 12, 1887, and there can be no
question of the ardence of his love and of
the sincerity OF his devotion as a husband
down to the lime when Lady Hamilton
was nursing ilim at Naples into passion
for her own beautiful and fascinating self
The break came between husband and
wife one morning while they were dining
in London. During the conversat ton Lord
Nelson referred 10 something which had
been said or done by dear Lady Hamil-
ton" Lady Nelson at once arose and ak
claimed with some heat 81 am sick of
hearing of dear Lady Hamilton, and am
resolved that you hall give up either her
or me-"
Nelson calmly answered: '.Take care,
Fanny, what YOU say. I love you sin
cerely, but cannot forget my obligations
to Lady Hamilton or speak of her other
wise than with affection and admiration"
Muttering something about her mind be-
ing made up" Lady Nelson left the room
and shortly aftcrward drove from the
house. This was followed by a separa-
tion and they never afterward lived to-
gether.
Nedson began at once the most serious
attentions TO Lady Hamilton, although
she also was married. AS an example of
his devotion, it is only necessary to relate
that the night OF the day following the
battle of Copenhagen Nelson sat in the
cabin of the st. George writing to Lady
Hamilton both 4 letter and composing
verses to his Guardian Angel as Nell
son fondly described her.

before dipping them in kerosene and

First brush out the dust and remove
stray threads. When the hat is broom
clean,' rub it all over with dampened
cornmeal. 1t should not be wet, but mois-
tened sufficiently to hold the shape when
1t is nodded by the hand. Leave this on
for half an hour, then rub in all the dry
meal the straw will hold. Use a soft
brush to do this. Leave for six hours be-
fore brushing out the meal To bleach 1t,
wash with peroxide of hydrogen after the
straw is cleaned and set in the hot sun,
turning often to expose every part.
