FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 10-Louise Lane Drew.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Louise Lane Drew. famous as the
mother of actors. and herself an ac-
tress of note. was born on January 10,
1918, at London, England.
She came of line of actors. and
carried on the stage to take part In a
play. She made her first conscious
appearance when she was nine in the
Walnut Street Theater at Philadelphia,
when she acted the Duke of York to
the elder Booths Richard III. Then
she toured the United States with her
mother. and gained great popularity be-
cause OF her cleverness as mimic.
She was married when she was eight
cen, and John Drew, whom she married
at the age of thirty-two. was her
second husband. John Drew of present
fame is one of her sons. Georgie Drew
was a daughter. and Ethel Barrymore
is a granddaughter.
After her marriage to John Drew
she specialized in comedy. in which she
was considered at her best. She was
considered the best Mrs. Malaprop on
the American stage.
Mrs. Drew was possessed not only Of
histrionic talent. She was a good execu-
tive and a good business woman, as
she showed after Mr.. Drew's death.
At that time, in 1862. she became the
manager of the Arch Street Theater in
Philadelphia, a city with which she was
closely associated throughout her life,
and for many years she managed it
successfully.

The elbow is one OF the most abused
as well as neglected parts Of the body.
A dimpled elbow, or one that is soft and
well rounded, Is rarely seen except in
infancy and early childhood. There is
absolutely no excuse for redeemed, point
ed. sharply obtruding elbows or for those
coJered with rough or thickened cuti-
ci>e or even callositfes. because all these
conditions indicate abuse-rank abuse
of this long suffering joint. The elbow
was never intended by nature for use as
a stump upon which to support the upper
body while lounging in ungainly atti-
tudes; nor as a prop on which to rest
ones head and weight, a habit that is
easily acquired by children over their
sthdies land. regpetable to mention, over
their meals) and, once formed, Is apt
to- accompany one through life.
A suggestion for the immediate i'm
prDvement OF an unsightly elbow, is,
first. denude the surface of all thicken-
ed skin with pumice stone, then battle
IN hot water and apply the following
paste to the parts on bandage. allow
Ing Il to remain on all night: Myrrh,
ounces; yellow wax. ounces; honey, 4
ounces and rose water. ounces.
In the morning wash of with warm
water and rub little bland oil into
the parts. Keep up this treatment until
the elbow becomes soft and round. OF
course, overcome the habit of using it as
a crztch

AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN


quentIy pressed and repaired, has as
long term OF scrviccability as would
a mans suit OF the same original cost.
For evening wear very few conven-
tional evening gowns are really al
most as easily maintained as mans
evening togs." For after all there
arc complications in the way Of ac-
cessories to a mans evening get-up
that would not be quite in line with
the Ethiopian dreams of the dress re-
former.
But the woman who is too busy to
care for clothes, the woman who
has no place in her daily routine for
the diversion OF clothes is after all
very decidedly in the minority. There
lis something very fundamental, very
primitive, if you will, in our desire for
clothes that are striking, decorative,
even grotesque at times. Anthropolo-
gists tell us that it is all bound up
part and parcel in our complex heri-
tage of sex instincts. using that term
in the broadest sense. 1t is part of
our social instincts if you like to look
at it that way better. 1t is because
the normal primitive woman naturally
desires TO be noticed when she takes
her part in the activities of men and
women around her that she adorns
herself with gay beads and feathers
and daubs herself with yellow ochre.
1t is none the less a natural instinct
that leads the normal woman Of to-
day-.o search out the newest and most
interesting hats and frocks and cloaks
and shoes when she sallies forth to
take her place in the social world.
Only the recluse, the religious de-
yotee who deliberately cuts herself off
from the things of this world, the
puritan, shocked by the excesses of
degenerate society, or the woman
whose intellectual maturity has put
her Just a little out of key with the
essentially primitive but none the less
wholesome society around her, can
face the tempting array of every
changing feminine fnery displayed by
the clever designers of the present
day without feeling a certain sense
of pleasure, sort of exhilaration ii
you will.
No, the fondness for fashions that
change and for clothes that are some
times as grotesque as they arc beau
tiful is too deep-rooted, and too nor
NAL for the dress rcformers to hope
to uproot it before they have cssenti-
ally changed feminine human nature
and masculine human nature, too,
for that matter.

dear. and she is sweet and kind to them,
but she is satisfied II they are quiet and
Weu-behayed. She never seems to think
OF the power OF any habits they may
be forming. / never say anything critical
to her. but I am glad live next door

After thoughtful pause she went on:
Every one of the children over there
is growing more and more careless about
finishing tasks. Only day before yes
because Mabel left its cage down on a
chair. 1t is her duty to clean the birds
cage every day and give the bird its
bath. She had taken the cage from
the bottom and set 1t over the bathtub
on chair. Then she went of to her
play. Her mother asked her IL she had
finished cleaning the bird and she said
she wanted to do something else and
would go back after a while. When she
returned, fully an hour later, the cage
was overturned and the bird was gone.
A few feathers on the floor and a COM
placent cat, licking its chops, told the
story. Mabel nearly cried her eyes out.
and l took occasion when she ran in
to me for comfort to tell her what 1
thought would happen to people who
have the habit of unfinished tasks"
1 agreed with her fully. Our children
are what we make them, dear mothers.
and to train them Alright no tendency
they show is too trivial for attention.
The power of habit! We all say we
know how strong a thing habit is whep
We discuss the subject in a general way,
but do we realize what We mean sufi-
ciently to watch our children in every
little daily task, in all their play, lest
they may be laying the foundation for
failure in after life?
