Lady Mary wortley Montagu was one
of those Englishwomen of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries who
achieved some temporary and local repu-
tation by their poems and romances, but
have won real and enduring fame for
their unstudied letters. In this she re-
sembled Fanny Burney. later Mime. d Ar
blay. The age in which she was born
was one in which the education Of women
was little encouraged. and general ap-
prevail was given to the dicta of Sir An
thony Absolute that to teach women to
read was crime, and a circulating Il
brary was more dangerous to town
than a powder magazine.
Mary's father, Lord Dorchester. must
have been a man of some parts, for he
was a member of the famous kit-kat
Club, of which the Duke of Marlbor-
ough. Sir Robert Walpole. Addison, Con-
greve and the men of that type were
members When child of eight the
little lady was taken to this Olympian
board and made the toast OF the moment.
Picked Up Latin and French.
In a house full of books Mary browsed
as she chose. Nobody directed her read
ing. and it seems to have turned chiefly
to novels, Of which she said she could
read two. OF the three-volume type. in a
day. She picked up Latin and French
seemingly by intuition and developed a
pretty talent for rhyming. Her best
known verses, the Town Eclogues."
were satirical skits on persons and GUS
toms OF the day-suitable for the Town
Topics OF the time and therefore unin-
telligible now
The life romance of this lady was GER
family neither commonplace nor monot-
onous. She fell in love with the brother
OF her dearest friend. Mr.. Wortley Mon
tasu, gentleman who was at once a
man OF learning, man Of the world and
q politician. Authors ought to revere
his memory. for he first introduced into
parliament a bill to encourage learning
by granting copyrights. With this gen.
tleman, whom she plainly intended to
marry, Lady Mary-the title was hers at
birth, her father being a peer-for some
lnscrutaDle reason communicated only by
messages sent through his sister. That
was employed, and Lady Mary wrote her
lover what she declared to be 1.-THE first
letter ever wrote to one of your sex and

this singular prudence in letter writing,

name was hyphenated was seldom used)

Elopes With Old Gallant.

IN an unusual moment Of decision the
swain asked Lady Mary's hand of her
father Lord Dorchester was nothing
ioath, but demanded settlements upon
the probable children. Mr. Wortley re-
FUSED to settle his fortune upon a son SO
extremely far in the future, who might.
ne indeed materialized, prove a fool
or worse. Lord Dorchester without de-
lay broke with this sutton and ordered
Mary to marry another who was more
accommodating about providing for prob
iematic progeny. The fond father even
bought her trOusseau. Up to this time
the young lady had not appeared to be
violently In love. but upon her father
seeking to coerce her she straightway
eloped with her old gallant. and wrote a
lot OF letters about her mingled fears
ana hopes In the end the marriage, con-
summated after so many qualms and de-
lays. proved failure. The couple drifted
apart, met only on terms of the utmost
Y0rmality, and the one son born justified
Mr.. Wortiey's care of his fortune, for
he was idle, dissolute and a spendthrift
His mother. dying after his father, cut

With her husband Lady Mary went up
to London George l was on the throne
and kept Mr.. Wortley in fat offices, while
making love to his wife. She met Pope,
who first fell in love with her then quar-
relied because she laughed at him. In
one of his love letters he said: Il think

Herodias Though l never had a dance
with YOU'D and would as freely give you
my heart in a dish as he did another 5
head" They fought out the quarrel in
satirical verse.
In 1716 Mr.. Wortley was made ambas-
sador to the sublime porte. and his wife
accompanied him to Constantinople. Her
letters from the east created great in

Turkish Odalisques at the bath is most

Sugar will be subject to the Payne

authorize the appointment of special

In nearly every community you will

every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

A WONDERFUL PLAYGROUND
Has Been Prepared for Children in Ber-
lin, Germany.

Berlin, July 5.--The dedication of
"Fairyland Fountain in public park
OF Berlin was one of the municipalities
contributions toward celebrating the
quarto- centennial Of the kmperor's
reign.
| The original design for this fountain
was finished and shown at an art exhi-
bition twelve years ago. After having
been approved by the police authorities,
| the design came back TO the city hall
with information that the emperor de-
clined to pass it. His criticism was
that the figures representing the famous
characters in fairy stories were made
mere details in the general architectural
scheme so that the children, for whom
the fountain was intended, could scarce
~ recognize their story book fayortes.
His majesty recommended that this
grown-up' allegorieal design BE re-
jected, the fairy heroes and heroines be
brought together in groups, and above
all he advised the municipal officials to
secure the services of some sculptor
who had shown his ability to do work IN
a way that appealed to children.
The emperor's interference caused
much unfriendy criticism in the news
papers, ana the city IaVneIs dIgueu IhiI
he had exceeded his authority. Never
theless, they appointed committee to
consider his suggestions. The services
OF Munich sculptor were secured, and
after several years new design WAS
approved by both emperor and the city.
The fountain has been erected, and
now Berlin children are revealing in the
wonderful playground where they may
see the heroes OF their story books. The
figures are placed in groups around two
basins, the larger of which covers nearly
half an acre. Red Riding Hood is there,
and so is the wolf. Here also is jack
in-Luck and his Pig. Puss- in Boots,
Cinderella and her slippers, Sleeping
Beauty, and all the rest OF the old fav
orites. The whole conception is happy
one, the poetry of child life is tittingly
in lasting stone amid beauti
full surroundings, and it is agreed on all
sides that much credit, for the final sue
cess of this beautiful idea, is due En-
peror William for his rejection of tue
first designs.

THE ELECTION.

Previous TO the primaries The Trio'
une urged upon all voters the duty OF
selecting the best man. Now that the
primaries have been held the duty stili
exists. II may be argued that the
voters having selected four good men
have performed their full duty and that
now il matters little which OF the
remaining candidates arc placed IN Of
fee.
While undoubtedly there is no need
for the voters TO be as sollcitous ABOUT
the elimination OF candidates as they
were before tho primaries, nevertheless
the obligation rests upon all to select
the best two men for Commissioners
and the best man for Auditor 1t IS as
pleasant as it is unusual in political
campaign TO be able TO find excellent
qualifications in all of the candidates.
All things considered, however, the men
who are the most free TO do the VIII
of the people are the best men to oe
chosen. No matter what high quallh-
cations an individual may have he may
sometimes be influenced by sinister IN
terests. Frequently public men are un-
fortunate in their friends or in other
relations. Sometimes they may be con-
trolled by outside interests when they
are in public Office that they would not
heed as individuals
All this is said without the slightest
intention of directing shaft at any OF
the candidates. The Tribune feels that
every voter should use the best infor-
nation at his command to make wise
selection now and to vote accordingly
on election day. If all the voters are
guided by this conscientious motive, the
men best adapted to the Offices will
triumph at the polls. The light registra-
tion on Tuesday was not surprise TO
any one 1t was to be expected that
under the circumstances the voters
would feel that there was not much
choice between the candidates, but all
who were interested enough to register
should be interested enough to go to the
polls on election day and make the best
choice possible in the light Of their in
formation and guided by true devo-
tion to the public interest,
