FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
February 9-Mary Palmer.
By MARY MARSHALL

Mary Palmer, sister of the English
portarit painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
was born on February 9, in 1716.
She was seven years older than her
brother, and 1t was partly her own
fondness for drawing and her great in
fluence on her brother that turned
his attention to art as a career. She
helped him in another way, for she
helped pay for lessons in drawing for
him in Italy.
She and her husband John Palmer
built the house now called Palmer
House. house full of association. 1t
was there that DR.. johnson stayed
when visiting Devonshire with Sir
Joshua and many other lights in the
literary and artistic world visited the
Palmers there. .-
The Palmers had two sons and
three daughters. One of them, Mary,
was the favorite and heiress of Sir
Joshua and another sat for many of
his pictures. They were all beautiful
girls and women. There are two por-
traits of Mrs. Palmer by her brother,
one when she was thirty years old
and the other when she wis about
sixty.
Mrs. Palmer was the author of Dew
onshire Dialogue, a book concerning
characters and customs of the west
of England which has been many
times reprinted. SO

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
The Housewives Complexion.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Every woman whose work Is in the
home has an opportunity OF having, II
mot beautiful complexion, at least one
| to be proud of.
The girl or woman who must go out
to business every morning in biting cold
weather and in the dessicating sun, or
the society woman whose round of
gaieties and social obligations keep her
up long past the time for beauty sleep.
and who must partake of all sorts of
rich, unwholesome concoctions, does not
have half as good a chance as the wom-
an who Is confined to the more or less
humdrun duties of the household to re-
tain the damask qualities of her cheeks.
To accomplish this, OF course, needs .
| certain amount of attention, although
nothing that need discourage you in the
outset of your quest
To begin with, one OF the worst things
for any woman's complexion are sudden
changes and extremes of temperature.
The premature wrinkles that one so often
sees in the face of the hard-working
| farmers wife can be almost invariably
traced to the fact that she stands for
hours over the scorching heat of the
stove, only to chill the delicate tissues of
her skin by a sudden transition to the
cold air without the house. She would
| think nothing of turning from the task
OF cooking crullers over the blazing fire,
| to that of sweeping off the back stoop''
when the temperature stood somewhere
midway between freezing and zero.
But moderate heat and the moisture
that is usually in the air Of the kitchen
are really good for the skin. Make It
rule, therefore, to keep your face as
| much as possible from the direct glare
! of the stove heat With moderate cook
ing conveniences this can usually be done.
When 1t Is necessary to stand for any
length of time over the stove, take the
precaution OF a generous rub with cold
cream, only partly wiped OF. This will
keep the pores of the skin from drying
| out.
Dust might work havoc with the skin
Of the woman who has much sweeping
to do II she did not take precautions
but with a little application OF cold cream
beforehand, and prompt and thorough
cleansing with first hot water and alcohol
and then cold water afterward, no harm
can be done.

It should not be forgotten that most
OF the infectious diseases are ushered in
with symptoms of cold and sore throat
and II the condition does not yield tc
the treatment suggested above other
measures must be resorted to, or a physi.
clan must be called in.
Physicians do not regard any kind OF
sore throat lightly. Every variety OF
bacteria has been found in the throat
and it Is well known that many types
are highly contagious. In follicular ton
silitis. for instance, the temperature
| climbs up to 104 deg. f. and 1O5 deg f.;
| there Is great prostration, and in some
Instances it is doubtful whether the case
is one Of follicular tonsilities or one of
scarlet fever.
Then, too, a very mild attack Of sore
throat in one child may give rise to a
severe sickness in another child, because
the germs of various throat diseases are
ALWAYS on hand. Children who exhibit,
throat symptoms should also be Isolated
and other members of the family should
use mouth washes and gargles TO avoid
the possibility of infection. One of the
best gargies Git can also be used in an

The Washington herald., 1916-02-09

Some mothers "coddIe" their children
too much, and for that reason make them
hOthouse plants; every change In tenn
perature or exposure to bad weather
brings on cold.
While this is extremely poor policy,
equally bad Judgment Is sometimes shown
in an attempt to tougher or harden a
child by clothing 1t scantily and allow
Ing 1t to run loose, as 1t were. The III
efrects resulting from this mode of pro-
cedure are seen very clearly among the
children in the "slum'' districts, who are
martyrs to "colds'' and allied conditions
because they are insufhciently clothed
and allowed to run out in all kinds OF
weather.
simple sore throat can be successfully
treated at home with the cold water
cure, which is much in vogue at pres
ent. It Is an old treatment revived A
cold compress Is applied to the neck and
a strip OF flannel is bound over 1t. The
compress (msde Of an old soft handker'
chieO Is frequently changed so that
the cold water Is kept in constant con-
tact with the neck. Cool draughts OF
water are given internally.
This treatment Is also good for a

forerunner Of grave trouble. and should

O.O.Me:NTYRE...

Neither did we. Well the idea is to
save the birds and they will save the
trees and thus prevent carbonic gases
from destroying the world
Nifty little hypothesis, and so very
simple.
The battle spirit is abroad on the
great Illuminated thoroughfare. Prepar-
edness is in the air. All the actresses
and actors are learning to shoot. Half
a dozen shooting galleries have sprung
up in the Times Square section to furnish
ammunition for the war spirit.
All day long these places are crowded
with well-groomed men and whole rows
Of good-looking women, to whom a gal
lant/ adversary would surely surrender
without a gun being fired.
Harry Oakley. who conducts the M'Cul-
Tough Rifle School-they are not shoot
ing galleries any more, you see-at
Broadway and Forty-ninth street, says
That every actor that ever played in
Shenandoah" or ''The Warrens Of Vir-
ginia" feels that he is a military hero.
Soldiers marked Mexico parade out
as targets and are shot full of holes and
now and then a Zeppelin sails out over
the gallery and every time 1t Is hit a
dummy falls to the floor
A pantomimic proposal for leap year!
Doesn't that Just sound too rollicking
for anything. The leap year dance be-
gins with slow cadence to symbolic
the girl who wants to lead her own life
but has been held In check by conven-
tions.
Then. as If strange spirit had put
in effect a custom by which she might
break the leading strings, the dancer
spreads her butterfly wings to soar free
ly among her kind seeking a mate. Final
ly the dance grows faster until it reaches
the freedom of unfettered mental sur
roundings.
The dance was giben by a group Of SO.
ciety girls, under the tutelage of the
Russian dancer, Chalif, last week
