Rebecca Gratz. the original OF the Jew
ess heroine of SCOTS 'Ivanhoe," was
born in Philadelphia on March 4, ISL.
She was noted in her girlhood for her
beauty and for her works of philan-
thropy and for her religious nature. Her
father was a wealthy merchant OF the
Quaker City. and Miss Gratz was one OF
the most distinguished of philanthropists
there for many years. She never mar
ried. but for many years acted as the
head of her brothers house. Her great
est interest was always for her own peo-
Pile, but she was also keenly interested
in philanthropic works of a general ma
ture. She was one OF the founders of the
Philadelphia Orphan Asylum.
Rebecca Gratz' nearest friend was Ma
thilda Hoffman. who was the only love
OF the famous writer. Washington Irv-
ing. and Miss Gratz used frequently to
visit Miss Hoffman in New York. where
she met and won the admiration of
Washington Irving. On visit to Eng
land Irving became well acquainted with
Sir Walter Scott. and suggested to him
that the JewcsS heroine for the navel
"Ivanhoc" that Scott was then planning
to write might be patterned on the beau
tiful Philadelphia Jewess. Rebecca
Gratz. Scott never met Rebecca but
through the aid of Washington Irving
he studied her character. ond the re-
suit and the result was the famous Re-
becca of the popular novel. which is one
OF Scott's most famous characters
After the book was finished Scott
wrote to Irving saying: How do you
like your Rebecca? How does the Re-
becca picture compare with the pattern

COMMUNITY KITCHEN AT LAST.
MOuntclair. n. J., Finds Central
Cooking Plant True Economy.

Montclair. y. j.. has achieved a tri-
umph in domestic economy by opening
up a community kitchen. where food for
large number of families Is being pre-
pared daily at considerably less expense
han il can be cooked in the home kit
chen.
II Is designed especially to meet the
needs of industrial citizens among whom
are included many mothers of families
The woman who works out during the
day has little opportunity to prepare
proper food. even if she were not too
tired from her own days work to do so.
The kitchen supplies her with a GEN
erous variety of cooked victuals. deliv-
ared to her house well packed in a small
1reless cooker. which will keep them hot
until the family is ready to eat them,
thereby providing for the emergency Of
extra long hours which so frequently are
forced upon workers in large estab-
lishment.
The heating of the plates for the fire.
less cooker involves no extra expense
for fuel, as it is done by the same fire
which cooks the food and this one large
fire has an economic advantage over the
number of small fires which would have
been required to cook less satisfactory
food in the separate homes.

GLOVE ECONOMY.

Copyright. 1915. by the Mcclure Newspaper synd-
cate.D
Gloves are a big item of expense in
almost every womans dress account
For gloves are at best rather fragile.
and neat, clean gloves are an abso-
lutte necessity If a woman is to look
we'll dressed.
So it behooves every woman to think
out some plan of glove economy that
will result in good gloves at the
minimum expense of money.
Wash gloves have been developed to
something so nearly perfection that
they are usually found economical So
your scheme of glove economy may
be based on the wearing of wash
gloves
The doeskin and chamois gloves are
serviceable. but it pays to buy them
in a good quality. as they wear much
longer than the cheaper ones. Then
there are the fabric gloves of various
sorts that also look and wear well
and wash more easily than the
chamois and doeskIn.
Now there are washable capeskin
gloves. that are also decidedly dur
able. They come in tan and in white.
and are finished like any other dress
ed kid. But they can be washed with
soap and water. They should never
be roughly handled-a brush should
never be used on them. But they will
undergo a thorough oap-andwater
bath, just the same.
Another tenet of your scheme of
glove economy will concern the wear
ing of white gloves that need clean
ing with gasoline. You may find ii
not extravagant to wear these gloves
at times. You may find it most eco
nomical to clean them yourself, and
YOU NAV find il most economical TO
have them cleaned by a professional
cleaner Some professional cleaners
charge only cents a pair. 1t is a
gued that they do not take the same
care taken by a more expensive clean
er. Therefore. il is said, your gloves
wear out more quickly and must be
replenished more often. The question
you must work out for yourself.
But have some system of glove
economy. no matter what IL is. and
stick to il. After you have worked IL
out, allow yourself maximum
amount of money for gloves, includ-
ing cleaning. And keep within that

0uakers for the "Cause."

At a recent meeting of the Society of
Friends in Philadelphia they Endorsed
woman's suffrage. and that is. SO far as
We know, one of the first instances in
which a religious organization has come
out officially as the supporter OF the
cause
1t is because, says the resolution passed
by the "Quakers," they realize the ad-
vantages of a full recognition Of the
dignity of woman and her complete de-
yelopment' that they have taken sthIs
move.
Did you ever stop to think what a
prominent part the Quakers have taken
in the development of women's oppor-
tunities both in England and this coun-
try? Did you ever stop to count the
names of the famous women, the women
Interested in education and reform in
England and this country who had their
early training in Quaker families? Eliza
beth Fry, the most famous of prison re-
formers, is but one of great number
OF Quaker women who labored for the
betterment of society and for the better
ment of their sex at a time when women
were still greatly handicapped in such
undertakings. The biogra phies of The
early advocates of woman's suffrage N
England show that about half the pio-
neers in the cause were either Quakers
themselves or had had strong Quaker IN
fiuence in their youth. And this was be-
cause the Society of Friends admitted
women on an equal with men as preach
crs and ministers.
In our own country the same rule noi1s
true. An amazing number Of our pioneer
suffra gists were of Quaker allegiance
Bryn Mawr College, one of the most adj
vanced of women's colleges, was founded
by an orthodox Quaker. and to this lay

tion," especially along educational zines.

they are if it had not been for the exist
