Young French Actress Says
Hard Work Spells Success
Mime. Yorska, Protege Of Sa-

She Won Her Way to Sue

Although my education has been en-
tirely European, 1 had always longed to
come to America and to learn the Eng

asked what prompted her TO undertake a
tour in this country.
Nine. Yorska, famous protege of Sarah
Bernhardt, who was formally a member
of the Divine Sarah's company, and has

Washington when she appears next Mon

of "the Greatest Nation" at the Belasco
Theater Mime. Yorska has only once
before been heard in English, and that
was in short one-act play, Days Of
War" In which she appeared for a few
weeks in vaudeville.
Although my mother was a Partisan

continued, they both loved America
more than any other country, and when

citizen. / longed to have my own COM

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL
Does Quality Pay?

Some lecturer In the extension depart
ment of a University of the West not
long ago urged American women to think
more about the quality of the things they
buy. He said that in good quality lay
economy. Forsthings of good quality
need replenishing less often than those
OF cheap quality.
Well, he was right, of course, In say
ing that things of good quality do not
wear out so quickly as those of cheaper
quality. But do we want everything to
wear for a long time?
No, Mr.. Professor, we don't
In these days OF changing fashion and
inexpensive cloth that is so attractive,
We prefer to have our clothes rather
their supply often. We can buy charm
ing blouses for 50, II we keep our eyes
open-blouses Of chiffon and crepe de
chine lace, ribbon and silk. And they
are really dainty, too, and made in the
latest fashion BY the time the fashion
! changes the blouse is worn out and we
can buy another in the newer style.
( And about our suits. The housewife
who spends most of her time at home,
mana ging her household, does not need
an expensive suit. And II she can find
one of inexpensive material for SIS, so
| much THE better for her. 1t Is in good
style, and next year she can, with a free
conscience, get another.
OF course in some things quality is an
economy, we will still admit.
In table linen, for instance, 1t is econ
omy TO buy the very best you can afford
In bed linen and towels and other house
| hold linen, too, quality pays. For all
! these things do not go out of style, they
I receive very hard wear, and so the bet
] ter they are, the longer they wear and
/ the better we like it.
In furniture. too, quality counts, fol
| We like to have our furniture wear as
| long as possible. 1t is mostly in clothes
| that we are willing to give up quality
In favor of cheapness and call it economy
| to do so.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 21-Helen Hamilton Gard
ner, Mary Ann Yates.
BY MARY MARSHALL

On January 21, 172s Mary Ann Yates,
actress, was born, and on January q,
one hundred and thirty years later,
Helen Hamilton Chenoweth Gardner was
born.
Mary Ann Yates was English She was
a very beautiful woman and became a
wonderful actress. She has been called
one Of the greatest of tragic actresses Of
all time
But It took her long time to gain
recognition. Garrick, who recognized her
ability, encouraged her, and her husba nd.
an actor, took much trouble to help her
develop the best,that was In her. 1t was
when she was forty that she appeared
for the first time at Covent Garden, in
London. that goal of all actresses of the
day. and her appearance there brought
her immediate fame. Her last appear
ance was made in 17S5, when she was
ifty-seven, In a benefit performance for
George Bellamy.
1t was her own timidity that kept Mrs
Yates from gaining an earlier recogni-
! ton, but her early reticence was deemed
strong factor in producing her wonder
full mature work.
! Mrs. Yates appears as tragedy in a
| famous picture of GarTick, showing him
! on the way to the temple of fame, look
! ing back at the figures of comedy and
| tragedy.
Helen Hamilton Chenoweth Gardner
was Virginian by birth, a descendant of
| Lord Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell After
high school education she studied biol
| ogy and medicine in New York.
! When she was very young she began
| to write for magazines and newspapers,
| and was later an. editor and lecturer on
the progress and development of women.
Her works were translated into French,
| German, Russian. Italian and japanese.
| They were on many subjects. She wrote
/ many novels, one historical in subject
She wrote short stories and essays and

THE CARE OF LITTLE ONES.

lin the diseases Of childhood - by
which we mean especially the acute
infectious fever.. diphtheria, scarlet
fever, chicken-pox, measles, whoop-
ing cough, mumps-there is always
sufficient indication to the intelligent
observer in the temperature, pulse and
general rowsiness of the patient to
mark the beginning stages of an at
tack of illness, and that he is Ill
enough to require special care.
Now our studies of the infectious
fevers have taught us that each dis
ease is due to particular germ which
produces that particular disease. We
know that no infectious or contagious
disease arises from itself; 1t must al
ways have come from some preceding
sufferer. and. such being the case,
there is always the danger of infect
ing some one else. Therefore, as soon
as a child shows indications, even
slight, of being attacked with any dis
ease of this nature, 1t should immedi-
ately be separated from the remaining
kept in isolation until all doubts are
removed, or. in the event of any in
fectious disease developing. until all
danger of communicating it to others
is past
