III Governo austriacO e. fatto oil

feriti di guerra, ha trasformato in
ospedale persino il palazzo del Parla-
mento; lintenerimento di quei go

ad esser tale, che, dopo tanto tempo,
essi persistono ancoru ad opporre un
rifuto quei rappresentanti della
nazione, quail, da mesi mesi, van
chiedendo la possibllita' di far sentire

PSYCHOLOGY OF PURCHASE.

Why will the average woman buy
anything that bears Paris label;
Why will she pass over the one
ninety-eights when the FIVE sixty-hves
have the identical quality; why will
she persist in being en- mode in spite
of her face and figure? Here are
three of the great unanswerable
why's" of the world of women's
fashions, before which the sphinx OF
the shops is helpless.
Should the shopkeeper inadvertently
leave the Paris label off some creation
of fashion, it is doubtful if it could
find ready sale, for French prod
iucts are somewhat bizarre to the
average American woman. She dis
likes them instinctively, in the ma
jority of cases, but the Paris guaran-
tee sewed into the lining of gown
works a magic transformation and
the queer little ruffle, or the laugh
able sleeve, Immediately becomes a
consummate bit of the modiste's art.
She will have it, and she will wear it,
regardless of her style and complex
ion, with the complacent smile which
comes only to the hsbitual wearer Of
Paris frocks.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
February 2-Hannah More.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Hannah More. religious writer, was
born on February 2, 17s5, at Stapleton,
near Bristol, England.
She was a precocious child and at the
same time a delicate one.
1t is quite probable that her nurse had
ly, with Hannah's literary career. For
the nurse had attended the poet Dryden
In his last illness, and she told the eager
child all the stories of him that she could
remember. over and over again.
She could read at the age Of l. and
knew the catechism simply from listen
ing to her three older sisters recite il.
Her father told her stories from Plutarch
and everybody else she could influence
told her stories Of every sort. When she
was her father undertook to teach her
Latin and mathematics, and was, as he
said, so frightened at his success in the
undertaking that he wished to give 1t
up. But the child begged so strongly
that he teach her more that he gave in
to her.
Hannah's older sisters established a
school. and Hannah eventually helped
them with 1t. She met DR.. johnson, the
artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, and the great
actor Garrick and his wife. Through the
Garricks she became interested in the
theater and wrote a tragedy, Percy
which was successful. After Garrick'S
death, however, Miss More became con-
WINGED that 1t was wicked to go to the
theater, and when Mrs. Siddons appeared
in n revival of Percy" its author re-
fused to witness the performance.
AS she grew older, Miss More became
more and more religious, and spent the
last years of her long life OF eighty
eight years in helping others. She and
her sisters retired to Bath to spend theiI
days quietly. but so sorry were they for
the poor people about them that they
organized a school, which, In a yea,
had five hundred pupils, and spent much
time organizing and superintending Sun
day schools.

AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN

$5.65, every woman knows that some
body must pass up that model for
very vulgar, but very potent. financial
reasons. Perhaps that is part of the
secret of the second "why"-the rest
is purely human nature and it has been
puzziing philosophers through the
ages. Deny us something and we de-
sire it; make it impossible and we
can't live happily again. The home
licst gown and the plainest hat will
appeal to some woman, provided the
price is high enough. Haven't you,
in your shopping tours, heard fel-
low shopper exclainl, What per-
fectly hideous frock! Imagine any
one wearing such bizarre effect!"
"One hundred and fifty dollars,
madame-an exclusive model" inter-
poses the saleswoman suavely. And
when you drift away to purchase
your So-cent blouse, you leave your
fellow shopper rapidly convincing
herself of the beauties of the ugly
gown, and you know her line of rea-
soning runs something like this:
Myrtle and Helen and Jane could
never afford this in the world, so I'll
be the sensation of the party, and be-
cause it's so weird every one will
know that it must have been fright
fully expensive" You know that she
wouldn't be found dead in that color
