Jane Porter. British novelist. was
born at Durham in 1T6. Her life and
literary reputation were closely linked
with those Of her sister, Anna Maria
Porter. novelist. and her brother, Sir
Robert Rer Porter. painter and travel
sr. After their fathers death in 1779.
their mother removed to Edinburgh,
where the children. as they grew older,
had their love OF romance stimulated
by association with Flora Macdonald
and the young Walter Scott The
sister. Anna Maria published long
series Of works during the years be-
tween 1fsT and 1880: but in the mean
time. Jane Porter, whose intellectual
power. though slower OF development
and In expression. was greater than
her sister," published her first work,
'"rhaddeus OF Warsaw" Qsos). which
gained for her an immediate popu-
larity. 1t was translated into several
languages, and won for the author
the election as canoness OF the Teu-
tonic order OF St Joachim
Some years before the appearance OF
Scott's "Waverley," Jane Porter at
temped the national romance in her
Scottish Chiefs" The story OF Wal
lace had been a great fsvorite with her
since childhood; and the poem OF
Blind Harry Henry the MinstreD
was doubtless well-known to her. The
book lacked historical accuracy and
she made the figure of Wallace a
rather sentimental conception OF the
character; yet her picturesque power
Of narration saved the story from
oblivion

The bad old fox was just going 10

And then Uncle wiggily and the fox

Americas star contribution
to the art Of dress is the tail
ored suit!
American tailors lead the
world in designing and Great
ing the suit and American
women wear their creations
with unequalled charm.
This particular suit has a
straight, comparatively narrow
skirt with a footband, nine
inches deep, of modified bar
rel effect. The coat, perfectly,
tailored, is of many seams, all
of which are left open below
a heightened waistline and sep
arately finished with an inch
wide bias banding of self ma
terial. The sleeves, long and
close-htting, are slashed, not
at back, but at the top and
front, and left open enough
to disclose the white woolvel
lining, which material also lines
the whole coat.
The other stunning costume
is in reality a coat dress. 1t
is a Jenny model of black chif-
fon velvet. strikingly trimmed
with white shirred ribbon. Fas-
tened high at the throat and
quite severely plain to the bust
line, there is a strong hint of
the new brassierc line that
Paris is introducing. Incl
dentally, this line is arrived at
by the introduction OF a mar
row brassiere, the lower edge
OF which slips down over the
top of the corset shaping the
line above the waist as the
corset defines the waistline
and directs the line below.

to use in laundry work because of
the difficulty OF forcing it to dis
solve the grease and dirt in soiIed

But there are various ways of
softening hard water.
All hard water may be softened
by the addition of alkalis. The best
and most practical for this purpose
are washing soda, lye, boraN and
ammonia.
The addition of any one of these
substances to the water just before
laundry work is begun prevents the
action of the lime-which makes the
water hard-upon the soap. spelling
its solvent and cleansing properties.
The various substances for soft
ening water should be used in the
following proportions. OF course
only one agent is used at a time.
1t is a good plan to test each of
the agents at different washings to
find out which is best suited to the
water and with which the housewife
gets the best results In laundering.

With the great war in which Poland
has won her freedom still fresh in
our memory. we re-read with renewed
interest the old-time classic "Thaddeus

The story takes place at that grim
era OF history when the little kingdom
OF Poland was attacked by Russia
and Austria. and having been defeat

treaty Of partition that gave her ter
ritory to the COnquerOrs and wiped
her name from off the roll of free
nations. From that date until this

3 Jane Porter lived when the shadow
of this cruel tragedy still darkened
the world. and she penned her ro-
nance of "Thaddeus" only nine years
after KosciuskO had been taken cap
tive and while he was the idol of the
hour.
