LUCY LOWELL
ON "A WIFE'S
DILEMMA
By Lucy Lowell.

ii WOMAN who seems to me
to be in the deepest sort
Of trouble a woman may
experience writes to ask my ad-
vice ana assistance.
She asks that I do not publish
her letter, so, of course, 1 will
not.
But there is q thought or two
in her story that may set forth
without breaking confidence. And
am hopeful that some reader OF
this column may write me with
an offer of help for her, since
she courageously maintains that
she can make q home for herself
and two little children, one the
small daughter of relative who
viii keep house for them while
she goes out. to earn their living.
She has no furniture, no money,
no prospects. nothing but the
will to do her best.
What she wants IL a place to
live in and work. The work must
be reasonably light, for she is
recovering from an illness.
Have you ever needed help
and received It? Write me, please,
II you'd like to pass it along!
I find myself greatly interested
In the reasons for this woman's
trouble.
The cause, as she sees it, IL
an irresponsible and deserving
husband. But believe there is
another cause, still deeper, upon
which this one rests, or which,
at least, may have brought to
activity those traits in her hus-
bands disposition which led him
to become irresponsible.
az tried to make him happy"
she writes. II worked until short
ly before my baby came and he
left me when he heard the baby
now he will want me to support
him."
1 do not advise selfishness for
wives or husbands either. Good
ness knows there is too much Of
it now.
But I do maintain that each
party to a marriage contract owes
herself and himself complete
recognition of the individual as
such first before adjusting and
fitting in the individuality with
that second indivirality which
makes two halves OF whole.

HEROINES OF HISTORY
What Maria EdgeGOortHs DeterminatiOn Won for Her
BY MARK STUYVESANT.

A s she said herself, Maria
A Edgeworth was "a New
"A Year gift to her father.
For she was born on New Year
Day in 1857 near Oxford, England,
Although she was one Of TWEEN
ty-two children, she seems to
have been her fathers favorite.
Despite the fact that he married
three times after her mothers
death, neither his three wives
nor his other twenty-one chill
dren kept him from being Maria's
constant companion.
1t was to her father that Maria
Edgeworth told the stories which
lifted through her childish mind
And when she was only fourteen
years old she wrote a story called
Generosity"
Always receiving encourage
ment in her writing from her
father, and with q beautiful
library In which to study In their
splendid house in Edgeworths-
town, Ireland, Marie Edgewortl's
literary tastes grew and improved.

years old. Maria and her father
elaborated on a book called
Practical Education" based on
the experiences Of the many chill

worth began to be widely known
because of her three books,
"Ormond," THE Absentee" and
Castle Rackvent." In all these
tales she describes with great
charm, accuracy and sincerity Of
feeling, Irish life.
Maria came to hold in the
literary world a place OF distinc-
ton, and on her visits to London
she was lionized and feted as a
great woman.
Although in personal appear
ance Maria Edgeworth can only
be described as a very plain
woman with no outward evidence
OF charm, yet upon meeting her
and knowing her, all fell under
the spell Of her unusual mag
netism.
While in London, she became
acquainted with Sir Waiter Scott,
who had admired her work for
years. Their acquaintance de-
veloped into a delightful friend
ship and resulted in one Of the
historical visits of the literary
world. For the great novelist
invited Maria Edgewprth to visit
h m at Abbottsford, where the two
writer's talked Of the world OF
fancy.
Maria Edgeworth's life was one
OF unusual activity and mental
stimulation. She possessed a
thirst for knowledge that was
never satisfied. For when she
was eighty-two years old-only q

Although her great-grandmoth-
er had considered it highly Inn
proper for q lady to have educa-

with arithmetic to add up her

Edgeworth. She was one OF the

Cops Seize Opera


nARIS-The original French
manuscript Of Verdi's "Rigo-
= letto' was seized by the
police In the offices of the Opera,
acting, It il said. under the au-
thority of the French courts.
The seizure Is described as the
result Of long-standing legal
dispute prosecuted by the heirs Of
Victor Hugo. whose drama LIE
Roi g'Amuse'' was the basis for
the Mbretto Of the Verdi opera.
Hugo vainly protested against
the performance Of the opera,
while he was in exile in the Jer-
sey Islands, in 1863, and then de-
cided to resort to the French
courts for satisfaction. The case
has never been definitely decided
in favor Of the Hugo heirs. but
they have kept 1t on the court
calendar.
