FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
December e-Mary Anne Burgess,
Jane Grey Swissheln.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Scotch writer AMI an American re-
former OF Scotch descent are the two
women whose names stand out as the
birthday patrons Of December s.
Mary Anne Burgess was born In Edin-
burgh 153 years ago today. and showed
remarkable ability as a linguist when q
Young woman Her chief claim to fame
rests in her book called THE Progress OF
Pilgrim Goo Intent" which purported
TO be a continuation Of Bunyan's "Pil-
grim's Progress" 1t was published
anonymously. and ii was not until after
Mary Anne Burgess death that the iden-
tity Of the author was announced. Then
such popularity followed the book that it
was necessary to get out ten editions 10
satisfy public demands.
Jane Grey Swisshelm was born in Penn
syivania, and in spite Of her early pow
srty she managed to get a very good
education As young girl she turned
her hand to painting. lace-maktng, school
teaching, and other vocations In order to
get a living, and after her marriage at
the age of twenty she went to Louisville.
KY and took a prominent stand as an
opponent of slavery. 1t was during this
period Of her life that she took her stand
on the subject Of woman's right as a
property holder. and II was largely
through the influence OF an article she
wrote as a plea for this right that a
womans property law was passed In
During the civil war she showed herself
to be as able a nurse as she had been a
lecturer and reform leader. and after the
battle Of the Wilderness she had 12
wounded men entirely in her care for five
days.

Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. E. r. T. writes: Il read what you
said about letting the baby cry. but
don't think l agree with you in all of IL.
For instance. my baby has the habit of
crying just because he wants to be taken
up and I won't do IL. so he just has to
cry until he learns that he cannot be held
all the time
II you have treated him so In the past
that he has formed bad habits 1t is not
his fault that he annoys you now by his
crying. But YOU do run a risk Of abdom-
inai rupture in your baby II he cries too
long and too hard. You should have
thought Of that in the first place.
Mrs. Il. II. L. writes: MY little girl is
very fond Of reading poetry. but her
father discourages II: he says II will
make her soft" Do you think children
should be encouraged to read poetry?'
Good poetry is the best kind of reading
for children. And some of the finest les
sons in morals and conduct are taught in
the great poems of the language. But
there is poetry and poetry. Choose for
your little girl the good and she will get
only good from II.

IF a farmer in any part Of the
country should find that his cattle had
contracted foot-and-mouth disease he
could write to the Department of Ag-
riculture here in Washington and get
advice. II the same farmer should
find that his wife was going insane
because Of the monotony of her exist
ence he could get no such advice. The
Federal government as it Is today
does more for the farmers cattle than
1t does for his wife"
This state of affairs was presented
to me by Mrs. Mary Austin in the
course of my talk with her on Satur-
day afternoon at the headquarters Of
the Congressional Union. Mrs. Austin.
author of THE Arrow Maker" Love
and the Soul Maker" and the much
discussed. The Man Jesus" recently
published by Harper & Brothers. New
York. is in Washington for the first
national convention of the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage this
week.
The remedy for this state Of af-
fairs" Mrs. Austin went on to say.
would be a department of commun-
ity art, conducted along lines similar
to that of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The University of North Dakota
made the discovery not long ago that
throughout the Northwest there was
an increase of insanity among the
farmers, and especially the farmers
wives. They went about il to find
remedy and the result was the Little
Country Theater" movement and
general encouragement of community
art interest. What those people
needed was greater self-expression,
something to make their lives richer.
he NJ rr0nnffv n IF
supplies this need"
I had begun my interview with Mrs.
Austin with the question: What do
you think of Washington as a resi-
dence for women? Do you think il
holds out any peculiar inducements
for the woman who is free to live
where she chooses?"
Yes" was Mrs Austin's prompt reply.
'.for Washington is a city with Won
derful possibilities as an art and intel
lectual center. The very fact that 1t has
no civic problems of its own. that it is
not a center of money making and money
getting. that it has not great proverty
or social problems as has New York
ought to go to make ii a place where
there would be leisure to thresh out in
tcllectual and problems with the leisure
needed for real accomplishment. and II
ought to produce just the conditions,
which New York never has. that would
make it a real art center. The fact. too.
that there is but small foreign-born
population here makes it more thorough
ly American. The diplomatic circles are
here to be sure. but they are foreigners
who would add to its advantages as an
art center. Washington has the climate.
too, for outdoor pageantry and ceremony
that New York and other Northern cities
do not possess: and no other city out
side Of California has such suitable
background for these outdoor spectacles
The Washington herald., 1915-12-06

Its parks. its great open space. and us
public buildings lend themselves admir-
ably to this sort Of thing.
The fact that Washington is not
money center would also tend to q demo-
cratization OF art here. You know art IN
this country has always been TOO mueh
of a high brow AFFAIR. II mas oeen
confined to those who have money. ana
II needs to become a community matter.
II "a the lack of community feeling and
the presence Of the money interest that
will always prevent New York from be-
ing an art center. Why. Chicago has al
ready gone leagues ahead of New York
in art activity.
DO you think that Washington pos
sesses ATMOSPHERE I asked Mrs. AUS
tin. +.
Il have never spent enough time IN
Washington to know its social ine very
thoroughly so I cannot answer that aues-
tion from the point Of view OF wash
ington society. But IL by atmosphere
YOU mean an intangible charm and an
individuality l certainly would answer
yes There Is In fact more OF an air
of .collectedness in Washington than
in any other city I have ever visited. AS
a matter Of fact I think that 1t ought
to be a professional necessity for every
writer to spend at least one season In
Washington. And in my opinion WASH
ington presents. more than any other
city I know, the necessary composure
and collectedness to make literary
achievement possible. One reason. you
know, why New York has produced no
really great dramatists Is because 1t
is too hurried. too commercialiZed. l
do not mean by that" Mrs Austin add
ed, that in order to achieve anything
We must retire to back room with
closed door and something pasted over
the key hole. No, there must be COM
munity interest. but leisure at the same
time.
so I believe that Washington has
wonderful possibilities. 1t should be the
work of the Federal government as well
as of the people Of Washington to see
that these advantages are made use OF.
For after all art. which Is but the eS-
preston Of the soul Of a people. is the
only thing that lasts. Greek politics
and Greek law have been almost for
gotten but her art remains"
But do you think that We are ready
for a government support and encour-
agenlent Of art till the people have given
more evidence Of their interest In art?''
1 asked Mrs. Austin.
1.-The government should create that
demand" she said THE government
created the demand in the realm Of agri-
culture. There was the need for the de-
partment without an expressed demand.
and the government created the dema nd
and filled 1t. There Is the need for COM
munity art, as the increase Of insanity
in rural districts shows. The government
should see the need. create the demand
and fill it."
And SO 1t was that we led up to the
point where Mrs. Austin made her plea
for a Federal bureau OF community art as
one of the executive departments Of the
Federal government
