These early Victorian modes are very
charming, especially when their some
what somber tones are relieved by bands
Of metallic trimming or fringe.
The full skirt has come beyond a
doubt, both for street and house wear,
and while waists may be classic Or cor
seted for indoor wear. the coats have a
decided military trend, being generally
cut UP short and square In front, with
a long square tail in the back.
The craze for serge Is ~ no means
diminished and for autumn, street wear
navy blue, combined with black, dark
red or tan, will be worn. Suede trim

FELICIA D0ROTHEA HEMANS.
CcOurirht. lgL.l

NSStgAAeAAs
Felicia Dorothea Hemans, once the
foremost Of English poets. was born IN
years ago today in Liverpool She was
one OF large family of children who
were brought up In modest circumstances
IN a middle-clRss English family. The
chief advantage in the circumstances OF
their early years was in the house in
which they dwelt, which was q rambling,
notwithstanding secluded place In Wales
Felicia had little education but she list
ened eagerly to the romantic and inter-
esting stories told her by the Welsh ma
tves among whom they lived. With her
brothers and sisters she passed a child
hood in a sort of imaginative realm of
childish fancy. These imaginings Felicia
attempted to weave into stories when
she was still little girl. and several Of
her childish attempts at prose and poetry
were published reviewer criticised
these attempts so severely that the dis
appointed child passed many days in
tears and several years passed before
she was willing to publish anything
again.
At nineteen Felicia was married to
Capt. Hemans and she remained with
him for seven years. Meantime five
sons had been born and then the cap
tain. for no reason that has ever been
made public, left his wife never to re-
turn. 1t is said that Mrs. Hemans had
been something of a beauty before this,
but after this episode her beauty left
her. An expression OF constant anxiety
and annoyance settled on her face ana
robbed II Of its former good looks But
In spite of this trouble and In the midst
OF many motherly cares Mrs. Hemans

few years Of her life many Of her most
popular poems we're written.

skirts were especially in vogue, are still

fastened about each knee with an elastic

Mrs Hemans did not live long to en-
Joy her celebrity. for, at the age of
forty-one, she died. At the time of her
death she was the most celebrated OF
all English women poets. Like many of
England's most celebrated writer's Mrs.
Hemans passed a life singularly free
from interesting events. She had never
been outside the British Isles In her
life and never visited London except
for a short time in her early childhood.
The only event OF her life outside her
unfortunate marriage was a visit she
made to Scotland, where she met and
visited Sir Walter Scott, and another
visit TO the English lake country. When
Scott parted with her he said these
words, which Mrs. Hemans ever treas
ured:
There are some We meet and would
like ever afterward to claim as kith and
kin; and you are one Of these"
