FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 6-Mrs. Sarah Trimmer,
Anna Maria Fielding Hall.
By MARY MARSHALL

Mrs. Sarah Trimmer. an Englishwoman
who did much for the early cause Of
Sunday schools, and Anna Maria Field
ing Hall, novelist and miscellaneous
writer. were both born on January g.
Anna Maria Fielding Hall was born in
1900 in Dublin, and when she was fifteen
she moved to England. Nine years later
she married Samuel Carter Hall, an au-
thor and editor.
Mrs. Hall showed a wonderful under
standing Of the Irish character, equal. 1t
has been said, to that of Maria Edge
worth. Most of her stories dealt with
Irish characters, but they we're never
popular in Ireland, because of the strong
religious feeling there, a condition with
which many Of her stories dealt.
Cromwell was one of the characters in
her first novel, THE Buccaneer." and
many of the articles she contributed to
sher hUsban1s magazine were afterward
published. Her life with her husband
was very happy and they celebrated
their iftieth wedding anniversary. Their
work and interests were congeniaI; be-
sides literature they were both interest
ed in the cause of temperance, work for
the friendless, and the cause Of woman's
independence.
Mrs. Sarah Trimmer first showed liter
ary accomplishment in her letters to her
beloved brother, who was studying paint
ing under Gainsborough; her father read
these letters and encouraged his daugh-
ter to write. She was born in I741. When
she was fourteen she went to live in
London, and there she met Hogarth,
Reynolds, Gainsborough and DR.. John
son. She surprised DR.. Johnson at their
first meeting by getting a copy of Par
adise Lost from her pocket when some
question concerning it was broupht up:
so impressed was the literary dictator of
the time with her fondness for the great
poet that he started a lifelong friend
ship with the young girl. She was mar
ried in 1862, and after her marriage spent
most of her time educating her six
daughters and helping In the education
Of her six sons. Their education led to
her activity in founding Sunday schools
throughout England. and this interest led
to an interest in Industrial schools, then
almost unknown.

WOMAN AND WAR.

A correspondent writes; Henry
Sydnor Harrison, who has lately re-
turned from the front, declares that
the brsvest act he heard OF. was Miss
Mary Davies innoculating herself
with enough virus to kill twenty men,
without telling the physician who had
been experimenting with it and only
needed the test of the treatment in a
human being. but who had SO little
confidence in it that he would not try
it on his dying soldier patients.

How to Treat a Feverish Child.

In the case OF fevers. nothing is SO I'M
portant .as careful nursing. Fever-that
is. an elevation of temperature--is not a
disease. but merely symptom of some
disease. usually of infectious origin
(meaning that It Is caused by particu-
lar germ or microbes; nevertheless there
are conditions In children of continued
fever in which there appears no infection
and to which little heed is usually given
because the child may not be noticesbly
sick. 1t may be about and complain of
not feeling well, and may have feverish
look bright eyes, furredz tongue, flushed
face, etc). In all such cases the same
care should be exercised as in those more
marked conditions which usher in the pro-
nounced diseases.
The child should be given a warm bath,
put into clean clothing and placed in a
clean, well-ventilated room by itself. A
mild laxative, such as calomel and soda,
or milk of magnesia, should be given,
(this should always be the first thing
done in any case). Cooling drinks of lem
onade or ten to thirty drops of sweet
spirits of nitre in cold water will aiIay
thirst, while sponging the body with cold
water will lower the fever and induce
sleep.
In sponging the body it is best to place
blanket under tne cnilu anu TO use
water at the ordinary spigot tempera-
ture first. Begin by sponging the face
and neck. then lay a cloth dipped in cold
water over the brow; keep the body COW
cred while sponging one part, say the
arm, cover II while doing the other and
so on; an extra and wise precaution. espe-
cialIy In case of a very sick child. Is to
place a screen beshe the bed and so
avoid draughts. This simple but careful
nursing will perhaps be all that is neces-
sary to restore the child to its usual
health. The temperature should be
taken morning and evening with the elm
ical thermometer, and the child kept iso-
lated as long as II remains above nor
NAL which is 9S.6 Fahrenheit. Do not for
get that the patient and his surroundings
must be kept scrupulously clean, the tenn
perature of the room kept down to 20 de-
drees and the air frequently changed.
To busy mothers these precautions may
appear needless in child who is only
a little feverish'' and ''out OF Sorts" but
just as a stitch in time saves nine"

APRON USEFULNESS.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

The day when an apron was a badge
of domesticity has passed But al
though our modern gTandmothers do
not wear white muslin aprons in the
morning and black silk ones in the
early afternoon, still there are many
attractive aprons to be made and
bought and aprons have a distinct
field Of usefulness They protect the
frock and, in the case OF needlework,
they protect the needIework.
There is. especially for needlework
or knitting. the bag apron. 1t is an
apron made with a deep pocket across
the bottom. There is a ribbon through
the hem at the top OF the pocket and
there Is another length of ribbon
through a casing run across the apron
at the top Of the pocket The top part
OF the apron can be folded into the
pocket. with the work, when the
apron is not in use as an apron, but
instead. as a bag.
One OF the prettiest OF the newer
aprons is called the fudge apron. and
IS especially designed for the young
girl OF fudge-making age 1t is made
OF a length Of crash, with the blue
or red lines along the edge serving
as a border. The apron reaches be-
low the knees in front, and there is
a big circle cut for the head. At the
back IL extends only to the waist,
Wnere II IS pleaIeQ neatly into belt
that extends across the front and but
tons there Around the neck there are
some featherstitched circles or other
simple decoration in the color of the
border stripes.
For the kitchen. probably the bigger
the apron the better But it must at
the same time be convenient to put
on and not bulky. One that buttons
fn the back. IL the buttons are easily
reached. and that fits in att the waist,
is a good choice. Psrcale Is a good
material
A rufhe around the lower edge of
an apron Is useful as II often catches
crumbs or other drops of spilled milk
or water and keeps them from getting
on the froek or shoes
An old lady who was a confirmed in
valid. and needed the constant atten-
tion Of a nurse or companion. begged
a newcomer in that capacity not to
wear a nurses uniform and apron.
MY dear" she begged, please wear
pretty little rufaed aprons when you
are about your work. and have them
trimmed with ribbons"
So the nurse laid in a stock of white
swiss and lawn aprons, run with rib
bons and made with jaunty little
pockets, ruffes and sasbes. They were
durable. easily laundered, and really
quite serviceable. They are a good
sort for the woman who assists her
maid with the housework, but who
does not like to tie herself into a big
and ugly apron
