THIS IS NO MAN-MADE
WORLD, SAYS MISS COLBY
She Tells of Some of the Rights En-
joyed by Early Monastic
Women.

That this is not entirely a man-made
world, but that throughout the ages
women have eXerted very strong infiu-
ence on the trend of civilization. was a
point brought out very forcibly at Miss
Clara Bewick's lecture yesterday MORN
ing and afternoon at the New Ebbitt
I'm the early days of history man pre-
dominated over women in warfare, to be
sure" said Miss Colby, but through her
industrial work, through weaving, spin
ming and all the arts. in which she was
supreme. women really had more influ-
ence than man.
In the early days of the Christian era,
through the influence of Christianity.
woman shared high place in the affairs
of the nations" And then Miss Colby
showed how in the early days of monastic
institutions women had power and infiu-
ence almost equal to that of men. So
long as man did not have the vote, Miss
Colby explained, woman was politically
OH an equal footing with him.
She spoke of the great monasteries in
England that were founded and presided
over by Anglo-SaNon women during tho
pre-Norman period. There were scores of
these. each a centeU of learning and infiu-
enCe. Whitby Abbey was ruled by Hilda,
who had bishops and ecclesiastics under
her control, and was entitled to a seat in
Parliament. Almost its equal in power
and renown was the Abbey of Colding-
ham, where Ebba ruled and where the
nuns cut off their noses to disfigure them
selves so that the Danes would not want
to carry them off Ireland had its St
Bridget who held a parliament of 1000
nuns and amended and codified the an
cent laws of Ireland
The central figure Of Mrs. Colby's lee
ture was Hroswitha. the white rose of
Gandersheim." who wrote six dramas in
Latin nearly 1.O00 years ago. Each Of
these has its interest but ''Paphnutius"

MRS. MUssEY LECTURES.

Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, honorary
dean of the Washington College of Law
delivered the last lecture in the course
on Laws Governing Social Welfare
Tuesday night The subject was Child
Labor and the Minimum Wage"
She declared that the masses were the
the, child was of primary Importance.
She also held the early employment OF
the child to be a waste of human vitality
and the cause of degeneracy and in
efficiency. and cited the fact that dur
ing the Boer war only 10 per cent of the
men in Great Britain from the cotton
factory region were available for mill
tary duty because the other 30 per cent
were defective physically.
She cited the fact that according to
the last census one child in six in the
United States was employed. A resume
of State child labor laws showed that
forty States and the District of Co
lumbia and Porto Rico had child labor
laws, but the methods of enforcement
were not sufficient to procure results.
She discussed Federal legislation on the
subject and declared that the Palmer
owen bill would be found a good work
ing bill if enacted.
As to the minimum wage she stated
that in Victoria, Australia, it had been
tried since 1895 with excellent results
and that nine States in the United States
now had minimum wage laws. She de-
clared the question to be: shall an
industry be maintained if it cannot pay
a living wage?'

AND Yours
January 2S-Lady c. S. Bury.

Lady Charlotte Susan Bury was one
of those rare women who gained fame
and position largely through the pow
er Of her beauty and her charm of man
ner. For Lady Charlotte Bury was one
of the most fascinating women in Scot
land or in England during the latter
part of the eighteenth century. She
was an enthusiastic student of liter
ature and was one of the most charm
ing women in the acquaintance of Sir
Walter Scott. She was married when
she was twenty-one, and, on being left
a widow after the birth of nine chill
dren, she became a lady in waiting in
the household Of the Princess of Wales,
who was afterwards made Queen Caro-
line of England. Later Lady Charlotte
married Mr.. Bury, by whose name she
will always be remembered.
While in the household of Queen
Caroline Lady Bury kept a diary which
depicts the private life of the Queen
and her family in frank and not always
hattering terms. She wrote many pop
ular novels, most of which have been
forgotten at the present day. The end
of Lady Bury's dIfe was passed quite
wretchedly. She died completely for
gotten in a miserable lodging house in
London, and on her death certificate
was simply written: Daughter of a
duke and wife of the Rev. E. G. Bury"

II you are planning to build a house,
or are refurnishing your home in old
English or early American style, you
will want a few quaint old knockers
on your outer and inner doors. The
electric bell has quite usurped the useful
ness of the knocker for all time, but as
picturesque detail in period " furnish
ing. the knocker is Indispensable All
of the delightful old Georgetown resi-
dences cling jealously to their knockers,
which have been sounded by some IA
nous, historical hands; and similar de-
signs are seen on many of the doors of
the new residences which have been
erected in New Hampshire avenue and
the Avenue of the Presidents; one of
on the door of a prominent physician s
residence in Connecticut avenue.
OFTEN real colonial knockers may be
purchased in antique shops. but very
clever reproductions are being made to
meet the widespread demand. The
center designs in the above cut show
some of the more elaborate patterns.
The new fashion, or rather the revival
of the old fashion. seems to favor the
architecturally dignihed, rather than the
grotesque, though a wide latitude is
given to individual taste. A connois-
seur in knockers declares that 'by your
knocker shall you be known" and insists
that you blazoned your character on your
front door when you chose the pattern of
your knoCker.
More popular than the outer door
knocker is the fashion for similar de-
signs on inner doors. In this way, when
the doors to communicating rooms are left
open for greater space and purer air,
the custom seems rather quaint; but a
modest design in brass or bronze for a
study or boudoir or other sanctum sane
torium is undoubtedly picturesque.
Two other contributions to 'atmos-
phere" which are coming into fashion
in the furnishing of colonial homes, are
visible hinges and door rests. The
former are particularly attractive on
dark wood doors They extend several
inches on the panel and come in elabo-
rate designs, The door rests are de-
lightful and appear in varied disguises.
Some are fashioned like slender inverted
pedestals. gracefully entwined with foil
age carved from metal. Others repre-
sent dainty little colonial ladies in pow
dered hair and stiff brocade.

HOUSE
WINES
DAILY
ECONOMY
CALENDAR
The Spirit Of True Economy.

A woman who does not use her brains
cannot be economical Real thrift is
never q matter Of habit, pure and Sim
pie. It Is a matter Of using ones brains.
The poor farmers wife who spends hours
and hours making a few cents worth Of
soap from a few old pieces OF mutton
taIlow is obeying the thrifty lessons
taught her by her mother or grandmother.
But she Is not exercising real economy
because she Is not using her brains.
II she had used her brains IN this
case she would have reasoned that she
might buy enough soap for a very little
money and thereby save herself many
days Of labor in the course Of year
and that this time, turned to account
in keeping her farm IN good running con-
dition. would give her fifty times as great
returns as making soap over hot stove
after a method that went out Of date
in soap factories over q hundred years
ago.
Sometimes the woman who makes all
her children's clothes Is not really prac-
ticing economy because she is not really
using her thinking machine. Perhaps
sewing Is the one thing that wears on
her nerves, that strains her eyes and
makes her irritable. Sometimes this the
case and no imagination about II. II
such is the case she had much better
buy the clothes ready made than have to
spend money on doctors bills and for
sanitarium bills later on.
Nowadays there are so many roads open
to a woman, even to the woman who Is
married and has a family to care for,
that she must needs think very carefully
before she spends her valuable time lest
she really waste 1t.
The old-fashioned idea used to be that
a married woman's duty no matter what
her previous training or natural aptitude
might be, was to tend to the old-fash-
ioned household tasks. And experience
still does seem to show US that the
woman who spends a reasonable amount
of time and thought on her home makes
the better sort OF wife and mother. But
there is a golden mean and nowadays
even married women realize that there Is
usually greater economy in doing the
task for which they are best fitted even
when it does not come within the do
main Of housework
The young woman VINO had received a
thorough musical education before her
marriage and had become proficient as 2
music teacher would in the old days, OF
course, have to give up a large share OF
that proficiency after marriage. II her
husband were poO: she would have to
substitute dishwashing and scrubbing for
the intricate technique Of her music. That
was, IN the old days, considered to be
the only womanly thing to do.
But now just from the point OF view
Of economy-just as a matter OF conserva-
ton OF wealth-we realize that even
married woman can sometimes serve the
interests OF family life better II she
continue a share Of her profession in
stead Of devoting her entire energies to
housework. And in the case Of the young
woman with the musical education she
nowadays finds truer economy in giving
enough music lessons to pay, for the
wages Of a maid OF all work than in
being the maid Of all work herself.

Mrs. Amy Winship is eighty-four and she

of the many talked-abOut women who

chology," she said, and wherever 1 was
and whatever l happened to be doing i
always managed to do a good deal of

were absorbingly interesting subjects to
me. Then, six years ago, when 1 was
seventy-eight, happened to be in Colum-
bus, Ohio. The friend whose guest /

the summer session of the college there
and after that one lecture decided to go
to summer school
After a season of it was so enthusi-
astlc that wanted TO go on as special
student for the regular winter session of
the college. But the authorities are
more strict about the enrolment Of those
who wish to specialize in the winter
courses than in the summer and one OF
the questions that had to be answered
on the registered blank was this: What
college or university have you previously
attended?

and for a while / wondered what ]

Are you living on borrowed time? II
YOU are past sixty, if your children no

is Just what you IRE doing. 1t is what

But now comes Mrs. Amy Winship with
q new idea, with a gospel Of living, II you

Don't be content to live on borrowed
time. she says, don't sit back and sim
ply be some ones grandma. don't let the
wonderful fabric Of your mind gro"

ing old and getting into the role of old

Mr. winsbip. And Mrs. Winship ought
TO know, for she is eighty-four years
old. and she is a student at college and
executing when some one reminds her
Of the fact she forgets that she Is not
as Young as the other girls whom she
meets in class room and on the campus
TT is the joy Of living that thrills my

her secret of youth. 1T is the JOY OF
forgetting years, or forgetting the pas
sage Of time that can keep every

Mrs Winship is proud to be able to say
that she was a friend of Lincoln, and
that she heard. five of the Douglas Lin
coin debates.
"One of the most wonderful experiences
of my life," she said, occurred one day
after had entered college. / went to a
lecture on American constitutional his

that day. was the Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates. Suddenly, as listened to that lee
ture, as IL by magic, all the years that
had elapsed since 1 sat listening to Lin
coin, hearing his words and swayed by
his eloquence, dropped away from me.
1t was as IL it had been but yesterday.
After the lecture was over 1t all came
to me in a fiash-the fact that 1. who hao
heard those debates. had lived to find
them used as a textbook.
What has become of timer I asked
myself, for the lapse of years seemed to
have been but a day. 1t is in that way,
through the joy OF forgetting the flight
of time, that i am able to keep young"
Mrs. Winship is taking little leave of
absence from her duties at college, but
she has not stopped studying. Not she.
She is making a tour of the colleges and
wherever she goes she visits the class
rooms OF the celebrated lecturers and
learns how the subjects she has studied
are presented in the various colleges
and universities.
She will be In Washington for several
days and while she is here she can
not resist the temptation Of running up
TO Baltimore to Johns Hopkins Univer-

Am I q suffrsgist?" repeated Mrs
Winship. Indeed / am, and when peo-
