FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
January LADY Anne Halkett.

Lady Anne HaIkett, who was born
January 4, 1872, in England. was. in spite
Of the fact that she lived nearly 300
years ago, very much like a girl of today
in her accomplishments and in her inde-
pendence.
She was born of an aristocratic family,
but her father died when she was three
years old and the fortune OF the family
was none too great. However, her moth
er provided a good education for her. She
was taught French and dancing. She
could play the lutte and the virginals. and
a gentlewoman was employed in her
mothers house all the time to teach her
and her sister fine needlework. Her re-
ligious education was as carefully pro-
vided for Every morning in winter Anne
attended service at 6, and every day In
summer an hour earlier.
Anne had a decided taste for surgery
and medicine, and whenever she had an
opportunity she studied this little-under-
stood science. Her reputation became so
great before many years that she was
sought by patients from all over England
and many came from the remotest ends
Of the continent to consult her. When
Anne was twenty-five she fell very much
in love with one of her suitors named
Howard, but her mother broke OF the
match because of the small fortunes Of
both the young people. Anne was much
distressed at this. and promised never to
marry any one else. She was even plan
ming to go to Holland to enter a cloister
when Howard married another girl, and
Anne thought better of her plan to enter
nunnery.
Back in England Anne went on with her
work in surgery and medicine and she
met a man named Blampfield who, though
he had a wife and many childIen hidden
away in another part of England. tried
to persuade her to marry him. Blamp-
field was a rOyalist, and he was trying
to aid the Duke of York, later King
James II, to escape from England. Anne
helped in this plot and provided the
woman's clothing in which the young
duke was smuggled over to the conti-
nent. Anne's misfortunes were not at an
end, for when she actually found that
Blampfield had a wife living she was
seized with an illness from which she
barely recovered.
AS soon as Anne was better we see her
very actively engaged in the English bat
tie fields nursing and tending to the
wounded and sick soldiers. Eventually,
when she was thirty-fouT, Anne married
an English gentleman who was many
timer superior to either of those whom
she had loved before, Sir John Halkett,
and with him she lived happily ever after.

Our Letter Box.

When is a suffragist not suffragette
and why is a militant?
How can a young man marry an ex-
travagant wife and live happily ever
afterwards on s15 a week?
How do you pickle wild citron?
What is the safest. quickest and most
acceptable way for a brunette to meta
morphose into strawberry blonde?
These are some of the puzzling ques-
tions that come TO the letter box Of the
woman's Herald every day. They are
very interesting to tine editor Of the
woman's page even when she has to aG-
init herself baffled. and it is in the
hope that they may be able to help in
the solution of the knotty problems that
the Open Letter Box is to become a
regular department of the page.

UNUSUAL WINTER SOUPS.
Lemon Soup.


Take two quarts of good stock OF beef
soup, well seasoned and with the fat of.
After straining, boil in 1t a cupful Of
rice When done beat thoroughly the
yolks of four eggs, mix them with a
cup of sour cream and stir slowly into
the broth. Add by degrees the Juice Of
one lemon. Simmer the whole a few
minutes and serve.
Cream Barley Soup.
Those who dislike meat, or are senti-
mentally prejudiced against il, will find
this a good substitute for a meat soup.
Ingredients are one quart of milk, two
ounces of butter, one gill of cream, two
ounces of pearl barley, two onions, one
carrot or three turnips, and one or two
bay leaves. Cut the vegetables in dice,
and then drop them in boiling water and
cook till tender. Add the milk, bay
leaves, sal. and a pinch OF red pepper
for a delicate digestion), and sprinkle in
the barley so that it will not look lump.
Cook for four hours in a double boiler.
taking care TO remove all scum that rises,
pass through a fine sieve, return to the
saucepan, add the cream and simmer
for few minutes. Serve in broth cups
with strips OF fresh hard toast.
Sleeps Head Broth.
Sleeps head and trotters (feet; 2 car
rots, l turnip, l small cabbage, quarts
cold water, leeks. l opion, parsley, tea
cupful of barley and seasoning.

and have the head split open by the
butcher. Take out the brains. Wash
the head with warm water and put 1t
into a saucepan with sufficient water to
cover it When II boils, take 1t from
fire and allow it to soak in the water
for one hour. Now scrape 1t well and
wash, and thoroughly clean the head in
side and out; split the trotters between
the toes and remove the inside part.
Again, put it into saucepan with four
quarts OF water and the barley. Bring
it slowly to the boil. then let boil for an
hour and a half. Add the vegetables all
cut up finely and let the whole boil for
two lours. Add a tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley and seasoning. CThe
last carrot should be grated and added
to the broth just an hour before serving)
This broth may be served with or with
out the head but the head, in itself
placed upon a platter and surrounded
by some Of the vegetables, constitutes
palatable meat course.

there would doubtless be no openings. -
tremendous effort has been put forth in
the perfecting of American fashions.
And. perhaps, there was much reason
to think that Paris, as a fashion center,
was dead.
However, it looks now as IL Paris
would be quite alive to her responsible
ties, as well as her opportunities, when
the time Of her winter openings comes.
The making of women's fashions is one
of her great industries, and she can i'll
AFFORD to let it die out now.
The attitude taken by the United
States, It appears, rather worries those
of the fashion arbiters of Paris who
have time to think of it. They feel
that we have taken an almost unfair
advantage of them in taking their re-
tirement from activity for granted.
Whatever our attitude has been. their
future remains in their own hands. II
at their February openings they produce
good models, the United States will with
out doubt be strongly influenced by
them, perhaps as strongly as ever.
American women demand some changes
in Paris-made clothes.
PIeated skirts Again.
Pleated skirts have come again. They
are troublesome, for the pleatS need
constant pressing if they are to remain
pleats. But that will not influence their
future.
\ very good garment for the woman
who wishes to dress well with economy
is a separate pIeated skirt of serge. to
wear under Il top coat with thin blOuses.
4 wide sash Of satin or serge adds to its
trimness.
Some Of the new French coat suits of
serge have pleated skirts. With them
the jacket is usually braided in military
fashion. The combination Is good. for
what the rather bulky skirt lacks in
trimness the neat, snug jacket gives.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-04

Skating has never been the fashion
able pastime in this country that il is
in some of the countries of Europe.
Therefore, some of the charming skat-
ing costumes that come out of France.
never fulfill their destiny here. Occa-
sionally, at a country house party. there
are some skating in costumes worth at
tentiOn. One OF these has a short far
ing skirt. quite three yards around the
bottom. made Of deep green velvet and
edged with fur. There is a tight little
velvet jacket, fur trimmed, and a fur cap
to go with it.
Usually the American who skates
wears a walking costume and supple
ments it, perhaps, with 4 sweater. And
even in Switzerland. at the height OF
the winter sports season, or in the
Scandinavian winter Fairgrounds, 1t
would be hard to find a greater assort-
ment of attractive sweaters than we have
right here in New York There are now
some interesting ones of white silk with
reveTs and collars and cuffs knitted in
colors. striped. One that is especially
good has revers of soft green, blue and
rose striped with black and white. The
l0ng sleeves are tucked to fit about the
wrist quite snugly. and between two Of
the tucks is a strip of the striped fabric

all sorts OF possibilities in sweater max

accepted thing Of one design, for no rea-
son in the world. little variety in it's
treatment would not be unwelcOme.

Most of the French dressmakinS
houses are scheduled to hold their open
ings as usual in February.
There has been much speculation
about these openings. Some American
dressmakers and design

the morning Uranus is adverse and in the
evening Jupiter is in maleic aspect, after
a kindly sway. Venus is friendly.
It is not a propitious day for any

This is a fairly lucky day for weddings.
Social entertainments are subject to

Increase in the number Of marriages

President Poincare of France is warned

Everywhere that ice is to be found
society folk have turned their thoughts
to winter sports. Ideal skating weather
has prevailed in many parts of the
country for the past week, and never
before have young folks and grown
ups shown such delight in this form of
amusement.
