Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
MADAME DE RAMBoUILLET.

The French word salon" is con nected with all that is most elegant and most recherche in intellectual The salon" was the periodic reunion, under the guidance of some distin- guished woman, of noted persons. The salon" began in the 17th. and closed in the 18th century. Today Commercialism tips the scale, and the salon" is relegated to the wall. But we will look forward for leisure to grow ripe" in the American salon" some day. The most noted salons were those of Mines. de Stael, Reooe- mier, Roland, Vtgnoe de Brun. Madame De Rambouillet. She was the first to set the fashion of the salon in the 17th century. Her father was a devoted friend of Henry ", king of France. She was mar ried at 15. It was in her salon that Conversation was the chief entertain ment. Famous men of soul and mind were prominent, not splendor of attire. The brilliance of Mme. de Rambouillets salon excited the envy of even a Richelieu. She welcomed
 rising poets and students, and did not permit them to starve like Grub Stt., London, or Fordham Cottage to an Edgar Allan Poe. Genius and rank blended in her salon. The Hotel de Ramboufllet was a star to the rising author, and a moon to the Balzac, the Mme. de Sevigne, the Richelieu.

Search for Jewish breadwinners in this country whose families in Poland and adjacent countries have lost track of them as result of the war time interruption of communication began on a nationwide scale here today with the publication by the Joint Distribution Committee of the American Funds for Jewish War Sufferers, of a list containing the names and last known addresses of 4,0O0 such people. The list contains names from practically every state and represents. months of work on the part of Jewish relief agents abroad and of the Transmission Blu reau of the committee of 98 Second avenue, New York city, in tabulating and correlating the mass of infOrma- ton received.
 In many instances both the bread winner on this side and the depend ents abroad have moved several times during the year, and have been unable to communicate with one another. The result is that fathers, husbands sons and brothers in America, have been frantically striving. to send funds to their families In Europe, while these unfortunates have for years been destitute and unable to understand why their supporters in America have failed them. Thous- ands of these people in Poland, Lith- uania, and nearby countries have been kept alive for many months by the Joint Distribution Committees funds and supplies. The present eff fort on a large scale to reunite these broken family ties is designed to less en the drain upon these relief funds and to place the financial burden of supporting these people upon their long lost, but willing enough bread winners in America.
 Religious social service and all other agencies are urged by Felix. M. 5Varburg, Chairman of the Commit tee, to cooperate in locating these lost relatives Information about them should be forwarded to the Transmission Bureau, 9S Second Ave. This Bureau will also forward funds in small amounts without charge for transmission. More than 5000 individual remittances have been sent abroad by this bureau in the past few months, and it's facilities are at the disposal of all.
