Noted Women Whose Birthday Is You rs
by MARY MARSHALL.
Angus 2f
Selma Hastings
Copyrighted 1914.


The women who celebrate their
birthday on August 21 ought to be
congratulated on having as their
birthday patroness a woman of such
extraordinary goodness and such I'M
usual charm as Selma Hastings,
countess of Huntingdon, who was
born in England one hundred and
seven years ago today.
Selma was married when she was
twenty-one to the Earl of Hunting
don, and although she was known as
q liberal friend Of the poor in the
neighborhood of her husbands estate
in Worcestershire, she would never
have been known to fame. probably
If it had not been for her conversion
TO Methodism. Her sister-in-law
Lady Margaret Hastings, had been
one of the first of England's nobility
to take an interest in this new sect
which found all its followers at first
among the poor and lowly. At first,
when the Countess of Huntington de-
elared her sympathy with the Meth
odists, her friends were mildly
amused, then their amusement turned
to annoyance. They tried TO laugh
her out of it. Then they argued
with her, and finally they appealed to
her husband AMI then the bishop, but
1t was all to no purpose.
About this time young George
Whitefeld was preaching and intro
ducing the new light" into aristo-
cratic circles, and the countess was
one of his most liberal supporters in
this work Then, to everyone's dis
may, she became enthusiastic over
the work of the Wesley brothers, and
they were frequent guests at her
home in Leieestershire. The Wesley
brothers converted one of the ser
wants in the countess's household and
the countess continued to pay him,

Customary Food During War Prices.

CHICAGO, Aug M.-As a remedy
for the soaring prices of foodstuffs
Mrs. w. K. Jaques. of 4916 Greenwood
avenue. urges housewives to use
weeds on their tables.
There are ten weeds, all edible,
that can be used for food" Mrs,
Jaques said. "These are the dock,
nettle, sorrel, purslane, milkweed,
dandelion, pigweed, lambs quarter,
marsh marigold and brake fern. They
make excellent green's and are nour-

Purslane, commonly called "puss-
ly,'' which stands for the original sin
to most people, is edible. Chinese are
fond of it and it is found in well cul-
tivated gardens. Purslane will not
grow any place else and it can't stand

FROM WIN. REDING
Rome, Italy, May q, 1914.

Rome, Italy, May Il, 1914.
My Dear Mr. Gaynor:-
Upon my arrival in Rome, l learn
ed of the untimely death of James.
1t certainly must be a heavy blow
for you to have lost your only son
in the bloom of his life. 1t is on Oc-
casions like this that we realize
more than at any other time the un-
certainty of life Man proposes, but
GoG disposes. May His Holy Will
be done as we say in our daily pray
ers. You lind consolation in the
thought that James was a very con
scientious young man. During the
seven years l knew him, he always
made it a point to ask for informal
ton, when in doubt, in matters OF
| duty as a Catholic, and whilst away
he frequently wrote for advice. Let
us hope that through the mercy OF
| God, he is now in his heavenly home
with God the Father, his Creator
enjoying the happiness of the an
gels and Saints Still We will not
forget him in our prayers.
/ I Will say mass for him tomorrow
in the St. Peters Dome. The right
Reverend bishop Schwebach, of La
| Gre IS. joins me in expressing oul
sincerest sympathy to you and YOU
family in your bereavement.
