FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
September 2S-Mercy Otis Warren.

Erect in person, vivacious and full of
spirit, though dignified at all times,
dressed in a steel-colored gown, with
short sleeves and a very long waist, the
black silk skirt in front being protected
by long apron, she wore a mob cap and
gloves covered her arms to the elbow, cut
of at the fingers"
This is a pen picture of Mercy Warren
when she was eighty years old-still as
loyal patriot as ever lived to call her
self an American. Mercy Otis Warren
was born on September ., T72S, and
passed her girlhood quietly at her home
in Barnstable, Mass. At the age Of
twenty-one she was married to a pros
porous merchant at Plymouth. With the
beginning of activities that led up to the
American revolution Mercy Warren's
brother, Col. Otis, was one of the promi-
nent public figures. Mercy's dearest wom-
an friend was Abigail Adams, whose hus-
band, John Adams, was also deeply in
terested in the impending struggle.
Mrs. Warren had always possessed a
remarkably fluent gift of writing and at
the beginning of the war she kept a
record of all the events of the great
struggle. She studied the situation. and
from the seclusiOn of her home she
thought about it and soCn her opinion
came to be regarded as worthy of heed
ing. She was drawn into correspondence
with such prominent men at the time as
Samuel and John Adams, Thomas JET
fersOn. and Elbridge Gerry. Her own
husband and John Adams locked upon
her as the leader of thought in the open
ing of the revolution.
Although Mr.. Warren was not active in
political or military history. still at mis-
house were entertained many OF the lead
ers Of the revolution At the outset. be-
fore Washington had provd himself to be
the greatest of all generals, a company
of the officers dined at the home of the
Warrens. Among them was George
Washington. and as her impression of
this general at that time she wrote these
memorable words, washington is one of
the most amiable and accomplished gen.
tlemen. both in person. mind and man.
ners. that l have ever met with
Mercy WaTrens record of the revOlu-
ton was published and was FOR many
years regarded as the chief source for
the history of that period. Critics now
generally agree that while 1t throws valu-
able light on the thought and opinion of
that time as a record of facts it contains
many inaccuracies. due for the most part
to no fault of Mrs. Warren herself And
although we have to admit that Mercy
Warren was Cne of the finest of Ameri-
can patriotic women still her book would
be but tedious reading, and it is totally
lacking in the lsaven that lightens even
the most serious of writing-a sense Of
humor.

NEW PARIS BAGS
OVAL In SHAPE

The novelty for the autumn shopper is
to be found on the Rue de la Paix in
the form Of a frame for the new hand
bag. 1t is oval in shape, and is made of
real amber or tortoise shell. The bags
are of silk or velvet to match the cos
tune. are rather shallow and broad. and
fuIled into the frame. A velvet or silk
ribbon, with slides to correspond with
the frame, is used as a handle. Inside
one may have whatever is desired in the
way of fittings. from a change purse to
complete vanity outfit All are made
with the amber or tortoise shell. They
are very expensive. and as yet the imi-
tation frames have not been made. Gold
or silver rivets are used as an added
decoration.

No Longer smart.
Long names and many initials are no
longer smart. One must be satisfied
with Christian name and a surname
if they would be quite up to the latest
in the world of fashion. Even a mar
ried woman is not entitled to more than
two initials If she considers herself
smart. Perhaps the idea is due to the
fact that monograms of two letters are
usually more artistic than when three
letters are Lsed and certainly easier to
de ipher.

AUTOMOBILE, COMING TO BIS BEE, CATCHES LEG OF PAS
 sENeER ON LOWELL CAR

Frank Swyers, resident of Lowell was standing on the front steps of a car last evening when 1t neared the Holbrook Stop, af@er going down the Slag Dump Hin. An automobile was coming into Bisbee from the opposite direction and in some manner caught Swyers left leg. Another man was hit In the shoulder by the impact Swyer was rushed to the C. & A hospital on lthe car and it was found that the member was broken in one place.
 How the accident happened is not known to those on the street car The car, itself was not injured. nor was the automobile. from all appearances as it continued on it's way up the hill. From every indication it is thought that the occupants of the car did not know of the Injury to Swyer's leg.
 It is thought possible that the rear end of the machine did the damage to Swyer, by swinging out from the path of the car or in a little to close. just enough to catch mans leg if there happened to be a crowd on the platform and if he is hanging on. A search was being made for the auto. mobile and the driver last nigh.
