August 7-Margaret Gilles.

Margaret Gillies, though little known at
the present time, is a birthday patroness
Of whom one might well be proud. She
was born III years ago today in Scot.
land and having been left penniless and
orphaned, was taken into the home Of an
uncle who was a prominent Edingburgb
Judge. This uncle brought Margaret W
with all the care that he would have
bestowed upon a daughter. and with her
sister, whom he had also cared for. he
introduced her to the best society that
Edinburgh provided at the time. Among
the frequenters of this uncle's drawing
room was Sir Walter Scott and Lord
Jeffrey.
II Margaret Gillies had been an or.
binary young woman she would have
been content to continue her life in the
easy station in which 1t had been placed.
But when she was 20 years OF age she and
her sister made up their minds that they
would no longer be dependent upon the
kindness of their uncle. that they would
thenceforth earn their own living. The
two young girls went to London and set
about to make their livings. Margaret
chose to be q painter and her sister to
write.
Although Margaret had had no previous
training in drawing and although her
choice of art was more or less arbitrary.
she was not long in seeking commissions.
When she was "a she was commissioned
to do the miniature of the poet Wards
worth. and in order to accomplish this
task she resided at the wardsworth home
for several weeks. Among her other
famous models was the novelist Dickens.
Having made a considerable amount of
money, Margaret went to London to
study. and encouraged to do original sub
work entirely. Her water colors enjoyed
immense popularity. Chief Of her works
are 1.-The Heavens Are Telling" Viva
Perpetua in Prison and "Prospero and

WASTE NEWSPAPERS.
How They Are Turned Into Useful
Cardboard Boxes.

Cardboard Boxes.
What becomes of the thousands upon
thousands of newspapers that are dis
carded by readers on street cars. rail-
roads and in the homes? The question
must naturally obtrude itself on the
minds OF many in the hurrytng throngs
to and from business, who note the dis
orderly litter that collects at terminal
stations
Waste newspapers. as indicated by the
Scientific American are used almost ex-
clusively in the manufacture of the card
board or pasteboard which goes to form
the paper-board box in which dressmak-
ers, shoemakers and department stores
generally deliver dresses, suits. shoes.
etc, and one of the largest factories in
the United States for the manufacture
of this kind of cardboard is located just
outside of Philadelphia.
Long trains of freight cars come in
loaded with bales of waste newspapers,
the collection of many cities which have
been assembled here for conversion into
clean sheets of cardboard that will be
used later for fashioning a box fit to hold
any lady's gown of daintiest chiffon or
tulle.
