BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
November l3-Lady Caroline Lamb.
BY MARY MARSHALL

A hundred years ago all England
was gossiping about Lady Caroline
Lamb. the charming. eccentric. the
beautiful and clever Lady Caroline
Lamp. She was born in England.
November IL. 17s5. the daughter of
the third earl of Bessborough. After
spending her childhood in Italy she
was sent TO England to be educated
Even as a child her independent and
eccentric ways CAUSED her sedate
grandmother some concern. So dis
turbed was she over the wilfulness
of her granddaughter that she &C.
tually consulted a physician to see
whether some medical treatment would
be of assistance.
Caroline to Lord Melborne she became
the height OF his career, but their little
affair was OF short duration. Lady Caro-
line quarreled with the great man and
went into such a state of temper on &C.
count Of IL that her husbands patience
was tried to the limit. A divorce was
even contemplated and would have been
carried through had 1t not been that
when the lawyers came to serve the first
paper Of the procedure they found the
charming Lady Caroline feeding her
husband dainty slices OF bread and but
ter with her own fair fingers. The quar-
rel had been patched up and Lord and
Lady Melborn were completely recon-
ciled for the time being.
Not long after this she produced her
first and most celebrated book, Glen
arrow" which was especially popular
because the hero was avowedly a carica-
ture Of the one beloved Byron. The book
created furore. Byron pretended to be
amused and when Lady Caroline heard
this she was furious She had a funeral
pyre made Of all his letters. and a nina
ture portrait which she proceeded to burn,
while young girls clad in white danced
around the pyre singing verses of Lady
Caroline's own composition.

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.

Mrs. Brown is an acquaintance of
ours who finds no time in her day
for bridge, and her evenings are too
busy for dancing. She is president
of an association to decrease illit-
eracy in some far-off mountain sec
ton, she is secretary of an organize
ton the object of which is to send
reading matter to the miners of
Alaska. She is treasurer of some sort
of Indian association and chairman
of committee of society for the
promotion of enlightenment in the
harems of Turkey. When she has a
few idle moments she knits nuffiers
and things of that sort for Tommy
Atkins in the trenches. She's really
a most remarkable woman, in this
Mrs. Brown, and no one could ever
accuse her of the vice q sloth.
Mrs. Browns cook is a Hungarian
woman. She came over from the farm
lands of Southern Europe with her
husband about three years ago and
then when the war broke out the call
to arms took back the husband and
left the wife. OF course this cook of
Mrs. Browns can't speak more than
a dozen words of English. Somehow
she has managed to master the rudi-
ments of cooking and, as Mrs.
Brown would say if she gave the mat
ter a thought,
