AND Yours
March 11-Mme. Epinay,
Lady Hester Stanhope.
By MARY MARSHALL.

Louise Florence Petronille de la
Live. known to fame simply as Mime
Epinay. was born March IL. 1855. Like
other French girls of her station she
was married when very young to
husband chosen for her by her pa
rents, but before long this husband
deserted her. leaving her possessed
with a large fortune in her own name
Nine. Epinay was a brilliant woman
and she consoled herself with the
fcompanionship of several of the lead
ing men of letters Of the time. Grimm
and J. J. Rousseau were among her
best known friends. and for Rousseau
she built the famous Hermitage" at
Montmorenci where Rousseau spent
many years OF his life. Those who
have read Rousseau's Confessions"
know to what an extent the friend
ship between the great writer and
Nine. Epinay existed. Nine. Epinay's
best-known work is on educational;
book on education called Converse
lions of Emile" which was crowned
by the French Academy.
Lady Hester Stanhope is ono of the
most remarkable figures In all the his
tory of English MISUNDERSTANDING
for her eccentricity and originality. She
was born in 1776. the eldest daughter of
the Earl Of Stanhope and the niece OF the
famou. William Pitt, over whose house
hold she presided for several years.
When she was "a her uncle, who seems
to have been the only person who ever
understood the brilliant Hester, died. and
for little while she tried to find salts
faction in various parts of England. But
the restraints and conventions of So
ciety were irksome to her and she de-
terrnined to make her home in the East.
Accordingly she set out for the Lavant
accompanied by a young Welsh woman
as a companion and a young doctor and
small following of other like-minded
admirers. AS she advanced toward the
East her retinue increased and finally
she established herself and her followers
in a Bedoun enca mpment near Jerusa-
lem.
There she lived exerting regal sway
over her subjects and added to her court
many natives After 1879 there was not
one European in her train. Her prefer
ence to the Fastener was that he was
more subservient and could wait upon
her with apparently no need for sleep or
refreshment. She practiced astrOloey and
was supposed to understand magic. She
was merci!ess to her followers, often
hitting them with her mace which she
carried with her at all times. She had
great fondness for horses and cats.
which We're her companions At all times
and which Jared better than her hu-
man subjects. At the time of her death
she was practically deserted by her fol-
lowers, who had grown TO hate her.

WOMEN APPEAR As
OLD As THEIR HAIR

1t is astonishing to see how much
good-looking hair does toward produc-
ing youthful appearance. 1t Is aston
ishing also to realize how much the at
tractiveness OF the hair is affected by
the care we give it, especially IN the
matter of cleansing. In washing the
hair it is not advisable to use make
shift, but always use a preparation made
for shampooing only. You can ENJOY
the best that is known for about three
cents shampoo by getting a package
of canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonful in cup of hot wa
ter and your shampoo is ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly. with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures air growth.-Adv.

who had returned from the battlefield
MANNED and suffering from the horrors
OF war. The fact that they smiled so

brought a sickening wave of emotion
over Enid. She had not reckoned on

duty to cheer them and not to exhibit
any sense of her own suffering at sight
of them.
Enid swallowed hard to put down the
| lump i'm her throat and burst into song.
Perhaps she had never sung so well in
her life. The emotion and warm timbre
in her voice were assuredly trebled by
the throbbing sympathy within her own
breast. and she gave unto those wound
! ed men all that her soul possessed TO
give. Sne ndQ the JOY OF seeing SNlile
of contentment or forgetfulness settle
softly on the faces of her listeners.
The men had been brought into the big
sun parlor of the hospital. some carried
in on stretchers. others in chairs. and
some of them could limp in on the arms
of their nurses. Enid had never expected.
in the whole of her musical career. to
sing before so completely wrecked an

vision. and she prayed that her strength
might last out long enough to still more

She was standing quietly after storm
of applause when one of the nurses ap-
preached the platform.

of my patients is longing for it"
Enid smiled and glanced swiftly over
the mass of upturned faces.
1T is not a very cheerful song" she
said. But l will be glad to sing It," Her
hurried glance had failed to find ia
miliar golden head that somehow she had
expected with the request for the song.
Her accompanist left the platform and
Enid sat down at the piano and played
the dainty, ripping melody.
In SO far as she could watch her au-
dience Enid watched for one soldier
among them who was more than inter-
ested in the song. She was curious to
see who It was that was familiar WITH
the old-time favorite.
When she had finished the melancholy
but exquisitely lovely song there was
