WOMAN

December SIAnna Barnard.

The name Of the woman who wrote
Aud Robin Gray" can never be for
gotten, for OF all Scotch songs and bal
lads there is none that has a greater ap-
peal than this. Lady Anne Barnard.
who wrote this when she was a young
woman, was born December s. 175O She
was the oldest daughter of the fifth Earl
OF Balcarres. Her early life was passed
in comparative retirement on her faith
er's estates in Scotland, and, save for
occasional winter flights to Edinburgh
where she met many prominent English
and Scotch people Of the day, she had
very little intercourse with society. Lady
Anne persistently refused to marry till
Andrew Barnard asked for her hand
when she was forty-three. He was con-
siderably younger than she was and
only his accomplishments and his charm
Of manner offset the fact that he was
poor and possessed few prospects With
him Lady Anne went to live in the Cape
Of Good Hope, where his business called
him, and for fourteen years they passed
a happy life. Then on his death Lady
Anne returned to England and lived in
London with her sister. In their Lon
don house they received the most bril-
liant literary society of the day, includ-
ing Burke and Sheridan. The Prince of
Wales was one Of Lady Anne's greatest
admirers, and this was whispered not
always to her credit.
In the meantime the Scotch ballad
"Auld Robin Gray had been published
for many years and was already a great
favorite. Several Scotchmen, including
a clergyman. had claimed II as their
production. Then, two years before her
death, Lady Anne wrote q letter to Sir
Walter Scott, who was a great admirer
of this simple little song, telling him
that she had written it The old Scotch
air, she told him, was a childhood IA
vorite Of hers, but because the original
words that went with the air were ex-
ceedingly indelicate she had had a de-
sire to compose her own words to tbs
favorite air. So 1t was that she wrote
the simple lines that have since noada
her name celebrated. She published tbe
poem anonymously, and II was not tin
she was seventy-three years old that she
revealed her secret authorship.

BY FRANCES CowLEs.

There are a number OF families Of
Vincents in this country who are of
English descent. but perhaps a greater
number trace their descent to the brave
Huegonots, who for conscience's sake
fed from their native France to brave
the hardships OF a strange and. in many
cases, hostile country.
The family inNEngland. however. is
very old. Away back in the thirteenth
century there is record OF one Miles
Vincent, who in the reign OF Edward
II held lands in Swinford. County Lei
cester.
One OF the big families established
here by the English Vincents is that
Of Rhode Island. This family was
started by William Vincent. who was

The Ubiouifous MuHer.

why the muffier? Where did the style
come fromr
This Is one Of the very first questions
that the woman who is a stranger in
Washington asks nowadays. For the
style that the Washington women have
adopted Of wearing woolen muffiers with
their street costumes is apparently of
purely Washington origin and use.
First, the stranger chances to see a
pretty girl with bright woolen mudier
thrown carelessly around her throat, one
end hanging tauntily over one shoulder.
The strangers first thought is that the
charming young woman has just a!ighted
from her automobile and-perhaps con-
scious Of the fact that the muffier Is be-
coming-continues to wear It in the
street Then the stranger sees another
woman wearing a jaunty mufler, a gray
muffier appears, a majeffla one. one OF
purple and another OF brilliant green. till
it seems to the stranger in Washington
as II every young woman and almost
every middle-aged woman had gone muf-
fer mad.
True enough, silken muffiers in gay COL
ors were worn in Paris early last spring
as part of the sweater outfits for sport
ing and motoring wear. On the trans
Atlantic liners last summer almost every
woman who had been in Paris mad al
sweater and muffer Of silk as part Of her
steamer Get-up. Young girls at the rel
sorts in the summer took to silk mufhers
for sport wear.
But whence these woolen muf1ers for
the street? They are decidedly fetching:
there is something OF truly Partisan chic
about the way that many young Wash
ington women wear them. But it takes
the stranger in Washington several deJ Us,
So she says, to realize that this 'S indeed
the latest mode among Washing ton
women, for SO far they have not cen
taken up by women of the other Ia rye
cities.

Jupiter is in a place that lends uncer-

Engineers, contractors, structural iron

There is a sign read as indicating won

it will be delayed longer than most per-

Tempting Apple Desserts.

As the seasons change, so must our
taste. Fortunately for our pocket
books winter fruits are tempting to our
palates In winter. and apples in most
forms are welcomed by most persons.
The problem before the economical
housewife. therefore. is to buy good.
but not expensive, apples and to serve
them in such a variety of ways that
they will not become monotonous.
Here are some helpful recipes
APPLE AND CUSTARD-Peel and
core an apple.
Put one cup of sugar and two cups
water on TO boil
When sugar is melted put apples in
and. cook slowly till apples are tender.
Remove carefully with skinner so as
not to break.
they are to be served in

the yolks of three eggs. one teaspoon
full OF corn starch. three tablespoon
fuls Of sugar and one teaspoonful vanilla.
when cold pour over apples and
serve.
APPLE PUDDING-Half a cupful Of
Ind m meal. half a cupful OF molasses,
one quart milk, one teaspoonful salt, two
teaspoonfuls butter. one pint pared and
buttered apples. quarter teaspoonful
Put milk in double boiler. When Il
boils stir in the meal. Cook half an
hour, stirring often. Add molasses,
butter, seasoning and apples.
Butter deep baking dish; pour In
mixture.
Bake slowly three hours.
FRIED APPLES-Wash and wipe
dry some tart cooking apples, cut them
in slices a quarter OF an inch thick and
fry them in butter until tender and
brown. Dredge with powdered sugar
and serve piping hot on warm plates.
APPLE FRITTERS-Half a pint of
sweet milk. a scant half-pint Of four,
two rounded teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, and a pinch Of salt Stir all
together. This should make a batter
as thick as that used for cake. Roll
thick slices, one at a time, OF apple in
the batter with a fork, and drop
uuIckly into boiling fat. When the
fritters are a nice brown they are
ready, They must be served on hot
plates with thick sprinkle of powder
Id sugar. The batter must be used as
soon as made as it spoils with stand

hate each other before they are
thirty"
In these words speaks DR.. Martha
Lowell, the physician for the Boston So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO
Children. Her unlimited experience In
caring for the physical ills OF children
born OF parents who were married when
they were sixteen or seventeen years Of
age. and whose offspring have to be
cared for by the society with which she
Is connected has given DR.. Lowell an un-
favorable view OF early marriage.
Romance Is a beautiful thing" DR..
Lowell continues, but II needs financial
support The man and woman may love
ardently when they marry. John loves
Mary for many reasons. Mary Is very
attractive and has brought out her beau
ty by gowning herself in the most be-
coming frocks and hats, all OF which she
has been able to purchase with her week
ly salary.
Mary loves John. One Of the great
reasons is because he is so attentive. He
always thinks up the very best shows to
attend. He never forgets the box OF
candy. All OF these he can buy because
he has only his room and board to pay
for.
They marry on SIS a week Mary. of
course, stops working. For the first year
everything is bliss. Then Mary's hat be-
gins to look shabby and her dress Is no
longer cut in just the most becoming
manner
John begins to figure how and why
his wife has lost her bloom. She has de-
veloped wrinkles worrying over the gro
Gerry bill
John has undergone no small change.
Mary has noticed that he just frumps
around. He no longer brings home the
box OF sweets. Shows that he once would
have walked miles to have seen he never
even mentions.
And all these changes have taken
place because there Isn't enough money
coming in. They were married too
young.
Mary became a cranky. irritable
woman at the age Of twenty-one, and
John wears a martyr-like expression upon |
his once radiant countenance
THE man who marries young cannot |
make the most Of himself. for even |
though encouraging words from the lips !
Of the woman a man loves are stimulat- |
ing and spur him on, they lose their |
effect when he says the rent man called |
for the rent
The girl at thirty has financial ex-
pertence. She can make SIS go a great |
deal further than the girl OF eighteen. |
Then again the man and woman who |
marry at thirty are less apt TO marry |
lndiscreetly. They take more things into |
They are. in short. better students Of
human nature.
The girl makes a better mother and
the man a better father"
