Slave Became Queen.

Religious houses In various cities and
towns of France celebrate the festival
OF their patron. st. Bathildes. the slave
who became queen. Bathildes was an
EngIishwoman and lived IN the seventh
century. As a girl she was captured
by a band OF French marauders. who
carried her OF TO France and sold her
as a slave, ''at a very low price," to
Erkenwald. who was mayor Of the
palace under King Clovis II. When she
had attained womanhood her master
was so pleased with her that he placed
her in charge OF his household There
she attracted the attention of the
mayors royal master, and Clovis II
fell so violently in love with the beau
tiful English slave that he made her
his spouse and queen. This elevation
from a position of seryitude to that Of
a royal con5ort did not make Bathildes
naughty and proud. Rather, 1t Is re-
lated. she became more humble than
before She used her influence with
the monarch TO bring about the aboli-
ton of the euslavement Of Christians.
When the king died she became regent
and filed France with religious houses
and hospitals When her son Clotaire
became king she retired to a convent
and in her latter years was remarkable
for her devotion to the poor and the
sick Her memory Is still perpetuated
by many converts and churches IN
France.

M of Mrs. Larz Anderson and
Wv the opening OF the beautiful
Anderson home in Masachus-
etts avenue, interest is renewed in the
play which is the work of Mrs. Ander-
son. and which she produced in the b.
jou Theater, Boston, two weeks ago.
Mrs. Anderson's life is a busy one,
but she has found time between her
duties as wife of one of the best-known
men in public life to do great deal Of
literary work.
"Everyboy," which is the name of her
new play, is her first attempt along
dramatic lines. though she has appeared
in print as q writer OF fairy lore, her
work in this line having met with fiat
tering success. In writing "Eyeryboy'
Mrs. Anderson says she has tried to in-
ject something of the philosophy Of
child life she has evolved in years OF
studying little people. Even while IN
Japan, In Belgium, and In Holland, IN
which countries her husband was sta
toned either as minister or ambassador,
she studied children. After returning 10
this country she continued this pleasur-
able occupation, and her beautiful home
in Brookline, a suburb OF Boston, has
ever been open for the entertainment OF
children OF the city-not the pampered
little aristocrats of the Back Bay dis
tricts but the street urchins, the news
les, and the working girls On these oc-
cas!ons Mrs. Anderson has danced Win
her guests has feasted with them, and
this domestic trait has manifested itsef
in her efforts as an author. Aside from
the play which Is her latest contribution
to literature her output has included
