October 1l-Janet Hamilton

Though Janet Hamilton is not one Of
the greatest of British poets she Is sure
ly one of the most picturesque. and who
knows but had she had the opportunities
of education that she would have taken
her place among the greatest!
She was born in Lanarkshire Scotland.
120 years ago today, the daughter OF
humble Scotch farm 1aborers. Her life
as girl was spent in housework and
working at the tambour frames. After
making more or less Of failure as a
farmer her father became a shoemaker.
When she was still In her teens she was
married to an humble laborer and for the
next sixty years of her life she was never
more than twenty miles away from her
own fireside. She was the devoted moth
er of ten children. and 1t WAS not till she
was 80 years old that she had an oppor-
tunity of carrying out her lifelong ambi-
tion Of writing poetry. She had had
quite collection OF standard books to
read-the Bible. Milton. Shakespeare. sew
Allan Ramsay and Burns.
Before she was 90 she had attempted to
write a few religious verses, and had put
them down In a strange handwriting. that
looked like the writings of Orientals.
which she had invented for herself from
studying the printed characters. Writing
was not one of the usual accomplish
ments of the people with whom she lived.
Bet 1t was not till she was past so that
she had enough time to take up her writ
ing again and then sne experienced the
aiscouragement of becoming totally
blind But Janet Hamilton's husband was
interested in her ambition and during the
eighteen years of her blindness he and
their daughter Marion faithfully read to
her. while her son James acted as her
amanuensis.
The poems that Janet Hamilton wrote
were for the most part religious and folk
ballads. the inspiration for which was
drawn from the traditions OF the simple
life Of the peasants. They showed no ot-
tempt to. be anything more than the
works Of a poor, single Scotch woman.
but In their simplicity there Is 4 beauty
and force that gives them place ahons
the best national poems Of Scotland.

NOI in the least downcast are the
members of the Association Opposed to

announcement made by the President

! Mrs Joseph NJ Stoddard. whose per-

wins recruits for the anti association.
when asked last Saturday whether the
organization of which she is chairman Of

vote yes. to woman suffrage in the COM

overwhelming victory in New Jersey.

CAN YOU SWIM?

In these days it is considered quite
as important for young woman to
know how to swim as to know how
to play tennis, to dance or to run an
/actomobile.
In our grandmother days it was
different Accomplished young wom-
en- played the piano, sang little-a
sweet "parlor" voice was enough
and perhaps knew how to play cro-
quet. They knew how to do the satin
stitch and they knew how to tat and,
in very "iadv-like" way, they knew
how to cook--not to take charge of
the cooking or actually to prepare
meals bat to make an occasional pud
ding o. cake.
Did the accomplished girl of those
days count as one OF her accomplish
uents a knowledge of swimming?
Well, hardly. Swimming was not
considered ''genteel" and no per
feet lady" in those days would have
thought herself quite modest to ap-
pear in the sort of costume neces-
sary to aquatic accomplishments.
But now society women and the
women WHO take their cues from

There are several good swimming
tanks open to women in Washington
The Y. w. c. A. will have exclusive
control of an excellent swimming pool
in G. street, where women may dive
and swim in clear, fresh water either
day or evening.
Aside from the practical uses of
swimming, there is no more delight
tul exercise or pastime than it affords.
A dive into clear, cool water, follow
cd by half hour OF not too violent
swimming, brings an cxhilaration to
the body and mind that no other form
OF exercise can give.
