FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
October 17-Margaret Wo6ngton.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

True to the supposed failings of her
sex. Margaret Wellington. who is said
to be the handsomest woman that ever
appeared on the English stage, didn't
like to own up to her full age. She al
ways insisted that she was born in 171s.
but some inauisitive biographers looked
up the records and proved that she hrst
saw the light four years previously.
Her birthplace and early home was Dub
lin, Ireland. where her father died and
received a pauper's burial a very short
time after her birth, leaving he mother
with two infant daughters to support.
Being an ignorant woman she was glad
enough to earn what she could vending
watercress and other vegetables.
Margaret Wofiington's first appearance
on the stage was with Nine. Violante, a
French woman. who appeared In sort
OF booth in various acrobatic feats. one
of which was to walk tight rope with .
ba sket containing q live baby suspended
from each foot. Little Margaret Wof-
nnRton was one Of these babies. 1t was
a hazardous position for baby to be
placed in, but 1t brought few pence q
day to the poor watercress huckster.
For a while Pes sold vegetables with
her mother. Then, when still a mere
girl she appeared again with Nine. vio-
Iante and finally won her way to Lon

The simple tenets Of the Brotherhood
movement, its democratic basis. the lib
erty, equality and fraternity upon which
it is based all seem likely to commend
themselves to the French workingmen
and women, and the British Brotherhood
leaders are confident that the movement
will spread rapidly after the war.
DR.. George A. Simons. superintendent
of the Methodist Russia Mission, writes:
"A short time ago 1 received a check
for one dollar from our foreign boards

York, with a statement that the donor
had sent the money to supply Testaments
