FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL.
March 14-Mary Berry.

It was as a writer OF plays and nov
els that Mary Berry gained her place
of fame, but her novels and her plays
have long since been forgotten. All
that is remembered is the fact that she
was one OF the most charming women
OF her day and generation in England
and that with her sister, Agnes Berry
she was more loved by Horace Wal
pole than any of the women whom he
had ever known.
But apparently Walpole loved neith-
er Mary nor Agnes more than the
other. He found them both fascinat-
ing and he would gladly have married
either so that his fortune and his title
might have been of benefit to both In
his letters which were usually to both
he used frequently to address them as
his twin wives" Sometimes he be-
gan his letters. Dear Both" and oncs
he ended one with "Adieu. mes
amours."
WalpoIe was past 20 when he nat
the charming sisters and Mary was
about 2S. He was charmed with them
at first sight. and wrote of the meet
ing that Mary was AN angel both in
side and out" Il do not know which
like the best" he said, except Mary's
face which is formed for a gentceI
novel"
Mary Berry never married but she
ouI against lne entreatleS
OF Walpole, who seems truly to have
loved the young women more than he
had loved any one even in his youth
But although neither sister would
marry him. he induced them to live in
one of his establishments. where in
former days he had lodged famous
actress under less worthy circum-
stances. This was known as Little
Strawberry HILL" and under the rule
of the Berry sisters it became famous
for its distinguished guests.
When Walpole died he left the Berry
sisters the famous house and gardens.
the long meadows and the furniture"
and sum equivalent to 10000.
Mary Berry. who was born in 1853
was an interchangeable writer. Although
she was absolutely above reproach in
her own character. several of her
plays and books met With disapproval
because of their lax moral tone, even
in a day when the English public pos
sessed a liberal Judgment in such
matters.

IGOROTTES FINALLY
SHOW TROUSERED LEGS

Manila. March 1S-After n campaign or
si II orial education. which has lasted over
the past fourteen years. the lGorottes
are now beginning TO wear pants. When
the Americans came to the Philippines
these Simple hill people contented them
selves with "A loin cloth-usually highly
decorated loin cloth-but nothing more.
With the spread OF civilization, they
lie gan to take up the use Of more cloth
ing. but have always retained an aver
sion to trousers.
For several years travellers in the
mountain regions inhabited by the 1go-
rottes have found many of them conr-
pletely clothed as to the latest style of
coats, neCkties, coats and hats. but
with naked legs.
The Igorottes reached that stage of
dandyism five years ago. but since then
there has been deadlock. They con-
tinued to clothe the upper part of their
lodies, but declined to go any farther.
Within the past few months large
number of ISorottes have been seen
wearing complete sets of red. blue, or
green trousers and the Manila officials
believe that in another year the entire
tribe will be properly trousered.

not enter the war unless she is attacked.
There are several reasons for this. the
