"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.
A LIVING PICTURE OF BEAUTY.

| G OMETIMES we hear of the baby
~ yamp" as distinguished from the
accepted heartbreaker. That descrip-
ton just fits Georgiana, duchess of
Devonshire, born in 1857, and the sub
ject of one of the most famous pic
lures in the world. 1t was painted by
Thomas GainsborOugh when she was
twenty-seven and hangs In the Metro
politan Museum Of Art, New York.
The duchess was wed at seventeen,
and by her twentieth year had become
the reigning queen of London society.
She soon was noted for her taste in
dress and was one Of the first English
women who ever had the courage to
question Paris fashions, setting few
OF her own.
The leading men OF. the day gathered
around her, among them Sheridan, the
playwright, and Fox, the politician.
She had especial favor for these two,
and when Fox was hard pressed in an
election she went about the London
streets soliciting votes for him, which
caused much talk. The duchess did
not seem to care. Her beauty was
ready persuader. One day a butcher,
holder than the rest, offered to sell
his vote for a kiss, which she prompt
iy paid, and thereby gave rise to some
famous lines about butcher and
fox and duchess.
II could light my pipe at her eyes,"
said one gallant lrishman. who loved
her, with host OF Others Georgiana
was ever the baby vamp," and in her
blithesOme way succeeded in obtain
ing a large measure of political power,
which she used to benefit Fox. She
also wrote a number of poems, all of
them having pretty sentiment, and
some of them almost childish In tone.
They prove again that she was "baby
vamp," but very sweet sort of per-
son, writing about the brooks and flow
ers and Prince Charmings who ran
away with maidens. OF course, she
did not mention the maidens, such as
herself, who ran off with the princes.
The duchess life was a placid
stream, into which serious trouble
never entered. She continued to be a
beauty up to the time of her death, at
forty-nine, living neither too little nor
too long. The world treated her kind
ly, standing aside like spectators at a
play, to watch her pretty pranks.

Madison-The state has no jurisdic-
ion over boats operating at the DelIs
of the Wisconsin river under existing
safety laws, Atty. Gen. Morgan adj
vised Gov. Blaine in an opinion. He
says that his decision does not mean
that the legislature could not enact
a law requiring boats there to carry
a larger number of life preservers
than they do at present. The attor-
ney general bases his decision on the
ordinance of 1887 to the effect that
navigable waters leading into the Mis-
sissi2pi and st. Lawrence are COM
mon highways and forever free. The
boats at the Dells are said to be I'M
safe and not to be complying with
the state law, which requires that
there be life preserver fer each per-
son on board.

German Press
Sympathizes
With Japanese

: Berlin, Nov. 22.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Japan. although one
Of Germany's foes in the world war.
continues to commann increasing
measures of sympathy- and interest
from the newspaper commentators
writing on the Washington conference
Much of the comment Is given over
to speculation as to whether Japan
can avoid being left at the post in
what is termed the jockeying for po-
sition in the race for prestige in the
Pacific. 1t is also asked whether she
will be able to escape 'the policy Of
encirclement' to which Germany is
represented as falling victim.
Should Japan emerge from the con-
ference as an isolated power, the edi-
torial writer's believe she will be fore
ed to seek economic and political ORR
entation in the direction of Russia
with terminal facilities in Germany.
Community interests" comprising
Teutons, Slavs and the yellow races is
suggested as one of the possibilities
to be reckoned within making over
the post war world. Thus Germany
conceives a new constellation in which
the fatherland is destined to shine
brightly.
Such speculation is not confined to
the lay mind but is presented in all
solemnity in higher quarters where
it is believed the absence from the
conference of Germany and Russia
will mean the eventual curtailment
of Japan's sphere of influence
Aside from these conjectureS. both
public and official Germany continue
to evince only passing interest in the
progress of the conference.
