AND Yours
January l1-Margaret FIemming.

| Margaret Flemming-"Pet" Flemming,
as she was generally called-is one of the
very youngest of women to gain a place
| among those whose names survive their
/ day And Pet Flemming was also one OF
the most delightful girls that ever lived.
/ She was born Ill years ago in Kircaldy,
Scotland. Her aunt was a friend Of Sir
Walter Scott, the famous novelist and 1t
was at this aunts home that the little
Margaret became acquainted with that
great man. From the first she charmed
him with her lovely personality and her
quaint sayings made him prefer her So
ciety to that of older women.
Margaret was as a matter Of fact ex-
ceedingly precocious, but in her precocity
| there was nothing of the morbidness and
| self-consciousness so, often present. She
| read history with interest when she was
six. and her letters. diaries and poems,
which have. since her death, been pub
lished, show that she was very merry,
vivacious little child with quite re-
markable sense of humor. When she was
but seven years old she wrote pre-
tentious historical poem on Mary, queen
OF Scots.
That Margaret was not perfect in every
branch of her education is apparent from
the following quotation from one OF her
diaries: "I an now going to tell you the
horrible and wretched plague that my
multiplication table gives me. You can't
conceive II. The most devilish thing is
eight times eight and seven times seven.
It is what nature itself cannot endure"
Not only Scott. but all who came in
contact with this lovely child were
charmed by Der delightful and sweet dis
position. so perfectly free from any trace
of self-consciousness.
However. Margaret shared the fate that
used to be said to await good children
generally for when only eight years old
she fell victim to an attack of the
measles and died from complications
within a few days. Sir Walter Scott was
for many months inconsolable and al
ways remembered her name with deepest
feeling. Her father, it is said, could
never endure to mention her name after
her death.

According to Mr.. Taylor, practically
every member from the equal suffrage

Are You Color Blind !

When a woman is able to match a
sample of material from memory, she is
said TO have a good eye for color. 1t is
a very convenient gift, for IL the posses
sor wants to select, say wall paper to
match a rug. or ribbon to match her frock
she does not find it necessary to take time
to find a piece of the original material to
carry with her. which piece, by the way,
is often mislaid when the time comes to
use it,
Children should be trained to recognize
colors and the difference in colors, an
important point in both the Montessori
and ordinary kindergarten systems. But
1t is found that not all children or grown
ups either can define difference in colors,
or indeed Seven recognize a color when
they do see II. When this fault in vision
is so pronounced as not to yield to train
ing it is known as olor-blindness-"
The strange thing about this faulty
vision Is that il has been found to be
like extra fingers and toes, an inher-
tied trait, but unlike most hereditary
diseases 1t is transmitted only from the
mothers side. Thus, while son may
have inherited the trait from his mother,
he would not transmit it to his own chill
dren. although his sister, IL she has a
child will pass It on to her offspring.
II the trait has been missing through
more than two generations, 1t rarely crops
out again, but daughter of a color-blind
mother can produce children with the
trait even though she herself has escaped.
This knowledge and the prevalence Of
lor-blindness" have led to a wise rule
for eye-examination in engaging engineers
and others to whom exact eye-sight is
essential.

WOMEN MISSIONARIES
REPORT TOUR OF WORLD
Mrs. Peabody and Mrs. Montgomery
Recount Experiences of Speaking
Tour Around the Globe.

Mrs. Henry W. Peabody and Mrs. Helen
Barrett Montgomery, the two Boston
women who recently completed a seven
month missionary tour of the world, yes
terday gave interesting narratives OF
their trip before a mass meeting Of wom-
gatiOnal Church.
Mrs. Peabody explained that she took
her daughter. Miss Norma Peabody, a
graduate of Vassar, and that Mrs Mont
gomery was accompanied by her daugh-
ter. a Wellesley graduate.
While We were talking Christianity to
the women of the Far East said Mrs.
Peabody" the mothers among them
would be listening, but the daughters
would not. The daughters would be
watching our daughters, studying the
faces and the clothes Of our girls
These two American college girls rep
resented the new freedom of woman to
those women across the sea and the new
freedom seemed even more interesting
to the younger women than our story Of
Christ
The mass meeting was held under the
direction OF the executive committee or
the committee of 100 women who ar
ranged the jubilee in fifty cities of this
country in 1911 when the fftieth ami
Versary OF the woman's foreign mission

CUTTING Waste

Sherman Says Planned Mar

PROFITS NOT TOO HIGH
Merchandise Sold Costs More by Rea-
son of Great Waste to Producers.
Dealers and Consumers.

| Superintendent of Weights, Measures
and Markets Sherman declared yester-
day that the inclusion by the Senate in
the District bill of 100000 for a new
wholesale market on the site OF the fish
market, means the most important step
! in the constructive reorganization OF the
city's food distribution system.
1T means elimination of enormous
wastes which are a principal cause OF
the eXorbitant prices the ultimate con-
sumner has to pay said Mr.. Sherman.
This department has found little to in
dicate that the average net proht OF
middlemen Is too high. We are aiming
not to cut profits, but to eliminate waste
for. the benefit of consumers, producers
and dealers alike.
We have no doubt that the House
Committee will accept this item in con-
ference. The House Committee was
greatly handicapped in consideration OF
this item by the then urgent necessity
for quick action. Naturally and properly
they felt that so large an item should
be very carefully considered. Time for
careful consideration was possible in the
Senate Committee, and the same con-
sideration will, 1 am told, be possible in
conference.
1T is only fair to add that important
information was available to the Senate
that was not submitted to the House.

confidential at the time the House had
the bill under consideration.
I'VE expect this improvement, the ter
minal market, to pay the Treasury 9
per cent year on the investment, while
directly and Indirectly making possible
savings to the people of the District
which will probably soon aggregate sew
eral millions OF dollars a year.
The tendency Of prices everywhere is
upward. We recognize that, but we be-
lieve we are safe in prdicting-promis-
ing. IL you please-that II Congress ap-
proves this item and permits US to fol-

future, We can eliminate wastes fast
enough to offset this upward tendency OF

And in doing so, we will eliminate much

Be Warned.

Should a glib young canvasser ring your
door bell, knock on your brass door
knocker, or rap at your gate, and should
you or your maid or your butler let him
in, and should this canvasser tell you or
your maid or your butler that he was
collecting entries for better baby" con-
test carried on under the auspices of one
of the Washington papers, have a care!
Let the canvasser go on with his smooth
story. He will suggest that your be-
witching little two-year-old Genevieve or
your stalwart baby Reginald-or Maggie
will also suggest that the darling baby
have a new picture taken, and then, just
as an afterthought apparently, he will be
quite sure to suggest that you pay him a
sum Of money for the entrance fee or for
the photographer. It will be a small fee
and you will probably not think very
much about that.
But be warned! 1t has been reported in
the off1ce OF The Womans Herald that
such a fake canvass Is being made of the
in the name of certain Washington news
papers. There is absolutely no foundation
for the canvass, except the idea on the
part Of the canvasser that it is a very
smooth way of getting living.
If you have given these collectors any
money you will have to put the amount
down in the ''bunco" column Of your
household expense book. in the column
with the amount you paid the favoring
extract man last summer, whose vanilla
extract turned out to be cold coffee. And
IL you haven't been visited. have a care
and when the collector man comes direct
him 10 the nearest policeman.
