MRS. JACOBS INTER-
VIEWED IN WASHINGTON

The Woman's Journal of current issue,
on it's front page. publishes an inter-
view with Mrs. Solon Jacobs. Among
other things the item has these points,
The south is being rapidly won over
to the woman suffrage cause" said Mrs.
Solon Jacobs of Birmingham, president
of the Alabama Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation, recently in Washington. ut is
a great mistake to believe that there is
no sentiment for votes for women south
of the Mason and Dixon line, for the fact
is that the movement is gaining srouno
more rapidly in the south than in any part
of the country except the far west"
Mrs. Jacobs told of the big woman suf-
frage conference to be held in New Or
leans early in November, to which all the
southern governors have been invited.
zone of the main subjects is to be the
framing of model constitutional amend
ment for the southern states which can be
adopted without interference with previ-
Gus amendments on other subjects" she
said
'The people of the south are adopting
the suffrage cause so rapidly that we
have trouble forming new organizations
rapidly enough. In my own state of Ala
bama the suffrage sentiment is very
strong already, and is constantly grow
| inf, and in other states of that section
conditions are practically the same"

sheridan, for long time after he had
met Miss Linley, was not very effluent
in his expression of sentiment, but Eliza
actions. The first marked expression of
sentiment he penned in his long poem,
The Grotto.' and to these verses the
lady replied as follows:
II will call you Horatio, for that was
the name you gave yourself in that sweet
poem. Write to me then, my dear Ho-
ratio, and tell me that you are equally
sincere and constant. My hand shakes so
at this moment can scarcely hold a pen.

The same letter protests her passionate
Hove for him. Let me see, what have
I more to say?-nothing but the same dull
story over and over again--that l love
you to distraction, and that / would pre-
fer you and beggary before any man
with a throne. oh, my dearest love, /
am never happy but when I am with
you. I cannot speak or think of anything
else. When shall we have another happy
half hour?"
There are many similar letters pro-
served and printed as sent by Miss Linley
to Sheridan previous to their marriage.
They are not among the great love letters
of the world nor have we Sheridan's re-
plies, but they prove with what simple
ardor Dulcinea worshipped her Quixote.
When she had heard a rumor that after
all they might soon be welded, she writes:
"Only think of this bright heaven. God
bless you, my dear dear love. | am so
weary l must so to bed. There is one

mourned the death of Elizabeth in 1872.
He married again in 1895, his second wife
being Esther Jane, daughter of Newton
Ogle, dean of Winchester. He died on the
July I, 1876. and was buried with great
pomp In Westminster Abbey.

Field Greatly Beloved
Continued From Page Four,


scores OF other ingenious odds and ends.
Through his column all Chicago knew
him. There is touching little story told
by Fields friend, Slason Thompson, In his
book about Field.
Those who gathered at his house on
the day of the funeral and looked upon
the form of the good knight" In his last
sleep, saw large white rose in one of his
hands. On the preceding afternoon a
woman, who was friend of Fields, went
to q florists to order some flowers for
the grave. A poorly clad little girl was
looking wistfully in at the window and
followed the woman into the store.
: "Are those flowers for Mr.. Field?" she
asked. "Oh, I wish / could send him just
one Won't you please give me one
fiower?p
The florist placed a beautiful white rose
in her little hand. Then she turned and
gave it to the woman with the request:
PLEASE put it near Mr.. Field with your
flowers
And the little girls single rose-the gift
Of love without money and without price
was given the place Of honor that day
beyond the wealth OF flowers that filled
the house and church with the incense
of affection for the dead.

ELIzBETH LINLEY TO SHERIDAN

When Richard Brinsley Shesidan, who
is today recognized as one of the most
brilliant of British dramatists, as well
as celebrated as politician and a wit,
met Elizabeth Linley, who was to become
the future Mrs. Sheridan. he was consid-
cred a handsome STRIPPING, bold and
clever" only 10. years of age. A writer
says of him at the time: His cheeks
had the glow of health, his eyes, the finest
in the world, the brillancy of genius, as
soft and tender as an affectionate heart
could render them"
Elizabeth, Iinley was 10 at the time
She was the daughter of composer and
the prima donna of her fathers concerts.
She had many suitors, including a certain
Major Mathews. To protect her from this
mans prosecutions, Sheridan, who seems
! to have acted at first only as a confiden-
tial friend, carried out the romantic plan
OF escorting Miss I.inley, in March, 1772
to nunnery in France.
Sheridan returned and fought two duels
with Mathews, which made a consid-
erable sensation at the time. The pair had
gone through the ceremony of marriage
in the course of their flight, but Sher-
idan kept 1t a secret, and was sternly
denied access to Miss Linley by her father
who did not consider him an eligible
suitor. In April of 1873, he was openly
married to Miss Linley.
Sheridan. shortly after they had met
addressed poem to Elizabeth, which be-
gan thus
"cherub Of Heavenl who. from thy secret
stand,
Does note the folies of each mortal
here
And Elizabeth ere long replied as fol-
lows:
THE sweets of solitude to share
With the dear youth love
Shall be my only JOY and care,
No more I wish to prove"

Some Household Hints

To clean gold mesh cloth dip in benzine
and rinse and ruo gently until all traces
of dirt have disappeared. Rinse in clear
herzine. stretch on a cloth Turkish tovpI
preferred). and rub over it gently with
your hand until the gloss returns.
TO freshen an old hat or .'straggly"
wings brush all the dust out of them and
hold them over the steaming spout of n
kettle, brushing the hat all the time and
shaping as you do SO.
To clean unwashable jabots shake out
the dust, cover with cornstarch, and put
away for several days. They win be as
good as new.
II after many cleanings white shoes
look gray and shabby. they can be made
q pretty brown by applying saffron. Mix
ten drops of saffron with three teaspoons
of olive OIL Clean the shoes with soap
and water first; cry; apply with piece
of clean flannel. Two coatings will make
the shoes look new. X. Y. o."

TALKS ON THRIFT
HOW TO STAR r A FORTUNE

IF / had never saved / would never
have been ccessful..-Thomas F. Ryan.
The seed of every great fortune in
America today was the saving habit.
The present owners of these fortunes
may not be saving. but those who found
ed them had to be.
Think of the millions of the vanderbilts.
Rockefellers, Carnegies Astors, Ryans
and scores of other owners of enormous
fortunes in this country. There is not ono
of them that did not start with old FASH
ioned thrift on the part of some one. 1T
may have been century ago, or not any
longer ago than the youth of the present
possessors. No mater how much spec
.ulation and big business may have
had to do with the later development of
these fortunes, tile start at least was
made by saving.
But inasmuch as there is not one person
in 100000 who can reasonably hope to
acquire mammoth fortune such as those
mentioned, II IS perhaps, more convincing
to consider the origin of the more moder-
ate sized fortunes, examples OF which are
found in every community. Look around
you and make a few inquiries concern
ing the reputed rtch men OF this V1cinlty.
The chances are 10 to that you will find
that these completeness likewise had their
origin in the systematic saving that pro-
vided funds for wise investment.
For the great mass OF ambitious per-
sons. the only course now open is that
outlined in these words of Henry q.
Huntington, the Los Angeles financier:
Save a little every week. and when
you get an increase of wages or salary
continue to live within the former limits
and save the increase. If you find it DIFF
ficult to save, 60 IN debt for a home or un-
dertake some other obligation in the way
