FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
BY MARY MARSHALL
November Sarah Fielding,
Augusta Sophia.

Two famous English spinsters Of the
eighteenth century were born on Novem-
Der s. Sarah Fielding. the sister of Henry
Fielding. and herself a well-known nov
elist. and Augusta Sophia. daughter Of
King George III.
Sarah Fielding always said that she
owed her literary achievements to the
fact that her brother was q critical
Judge Of her work. At any rate the
brother and sister were close friends
throughout their lives and the father
OF the modern novel," as Fielding Is
often called, had good reason to be
proud Of his able sister
Her first novel appeared in I744. when
she was "a. II was called The Adven-
lures OF David Simple in Search OF q
Faithful Friend and her brother In
writing a preface for the second edition
said that some of her touches might
have done honor TO the pencil OF the
immortal Shakespeare" But evidently
her critics did not all agree with him.
However. she won considerable distinc-
ton as 4 novelist. Although she was
an exceedingly clever woman and was
much admired by her brothers literary
friends she preferred a life of single
blessedness to marriage and never aban-
doned the name OF Fielding.
Augusta Sophia was one OF those gen.
tie. well-behaved princesses. OF whom
the books of history are full. who would
never have been known outside her own
hamlet had not she been born a princess.
As II was. she was well loved by her
father whom she devotediy tended in
sickness and for whom she played and
sang songs OF her own composition. She
was probably not much OF a musician,
but her efforts were highly praised by
her father. Augusta Sophfa's life was
one Of little variety. She was never
married and though possessed OF ample
means-she had two large establish
ments Of her own after her fathers
death-she was much circumscribed by
the rigid court etiquette of the day.

employers, that there are many wom-
en-. employed at present in depart
ment stores who are not economi-
cally worth even as much as $3.50,
and that with the new regulation
they will be forced into the army of
unemployed. There is also the con-
tention that many women who work
are not entirely self-supporting, and
there is the possibility, say those who
oppose the new measure. that if a
minimum wage of $3.50 is forced,
then, in self-defense, many employ
ers will have to adopt a maximum
wage of the same amount. If en-
ployes who are not worth that
amount to the employers can, in the
law, demand that amount then in or
der to keep the payroll within the
necessary limit the wages of those
who are now earning more than this
will have to be reduced.
Out in Omaha local organization
of retail merchants has started on a
very brave undertaking. They have
tackled a Herculean task. They have

announced Nampaign of education
to teach credit customers to pay
their billsl
How are they going to do it?
They suggest the possibility of cir
cularizing their customers. and pos
sibly using the newspapers for this
purpose. Such publicity would no
doubt find eager readers. 1t would
be very interesting to open the
morning paper to discover just
how far in the hole your next door
neighbor was on the coal bill and
how much your sister-in-law owed
on the new drawing-room furniture.
However, we rather doubt whether
even out in Omaha they will be able
to carry this plan to completion. But
can you blame those merchants?
And, by the way, what 2 wonderful
world it would be to live in, from the
point of view of most business men
and women, if the words owe and
credit and debt could be stricken
from the language?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE MINIMUM WAGE?

Every woman who pretends to be-
ing Informed in social questions now
adays has some opinion, for OF
against, on the question of the mini
mum wage. Clubwomen, philanthro-
pists, well-informed women generally
are looking with interest to Massa-
chusetts to see how the new reform
will work out. For on January l, in
less than two months, employers Of
the Bay State will be compelled to
pay their women employees at least
SIS a week.
On the face of it every woman OF
sympathy would agree with the franz

a woman could live decently in the

are other sides to the situation. There
is the contention, put forward by
