FAMOUS WOMAN, Her
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
February Mrs. Waylett.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

One of the most famous soubrettes
OF the early nineteenth century was,
Margaret Waylett. the English actress.
who was born February Z, 1898. in the
city of Bath. Her father was a trades
man of that place and Margaret'S edu-
cational and social advantages were
few. From her early girlhood. how
ever. she showed marked lowers as an
actress and at an early age appeared
in local theatrical companies. When
she was under age she went of to Lon
don with a certain Captain Dobyn and
her father brought action against this
abductor not because of the harm he
had done his daughter, but for loss
of services" to himself.
/ II was when she was twenty-one
that she met and married WayIett.
whose rune she carried through life,
although she was soon separated from
him and he. assuming the name of FitS
waylett married another woman.
Upon his death Mrs. waylett married
George Alexander, a musical composer,
whose songs she had made famous
and who had been a friend of hers for
many years Alexander had had a
varied career, acting for several years
as a page to a lord and later as a pi-
anoforte player in some cheap London
exhibition.
Mrs Wayletts powers as an actress
were truly remarkable. 1t was in SOU
brette parts. however. and in parts In
which she dressed in masculine attire'
that she gained her greatest popular
ity. Wher she was twenty-six she ap-
peared in D.ury Lane Theater, which
she also managed. The price OF ad-
mission to the theater was a slip show
ing the purchase at a nearby shop OF
sweets at four shillings an ounce. The
admission to the theater was therefore
nominaIly gratis. but by an arrangeA
ment with the candy shop, Mrs Way
lett received her share OF the exorbi-
tant price asked for the sweets.

on THE Essential Place OF Religion in
Education. with an Outline Of Plan for
Introducing Religious Teaching Into the
Public Schools" This prize is offered
through the generosity of a resident of
California and in connection with the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
Religion is to be defined in a way not to
run counter to the creeds Of Protestant,
Roman Catholic, or Jew. The essential
points to be observed are "A Heavenly
Father, who holds nature and man alike
in the hollow of His hand;" the COM
mandment of Hillel and Jesus of Naz-
areth. Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind: and thy
neighbor as thyself;" the high ethical
teachings and spirit of service and sac
rifice indicated in the Sermon on the
Mount.
