Warren Hastings and Marian I'm
hoff.

Warren Hastings is the English
diplomat who is noted in history
chiefly for being the victim Of the
celebrated Hastings impeachment.
The service he rendered his country
merited a greater reward than he
received, but this very ungrateful-
ness on the part Of his country made
him famous. If there had been no
Impeachment the name Of Warren
Hastings would have been known but
dimly and only to historians.
Warren Hastings was the first gov
ernor general Of India and his ruling
of that country helped vastly in It's
development But Hastings had Gre
ated enemies and when he returned
from India he was accused OF mis-
deeds and impeached. His trial last
ed seven years and he had ranged
against him such eminent orators as
tually exonerated of the charges, but
his fortune was all expended in his
defense and he was left Il poor man.
The East Indian Company gave him u
pension and in other ways he was
made to feel the regret Of others for
the injustice done him.
Hastings romance with Marion I'm
hon reads like fiction. On board the
boat that took him to India he fell
III and was nursed to health by the
baroness Imhoff. wife of g. German
miniature painter. both Of whom were
Hastings acquaintances.
The friendship between Hastings
and the baroness developed into love,
but there was no scandal and no hard
feelings on the part Of the baron
The baron decided that the worth of
q wtfe may be measured financially
ana ne agreed TO money settl ement,
IN consideration for which the
baroness divorce was made possible.
When She was free Hastings married
her.
Marian was an attractive and cult
waited woman, and though she was
forty at the time Of her marriage TO
Hastings and had children by her
former marriage, to Hastings neither
her age nor her family mattered. He
adopted her children and they lived Il
life of true happiness, as this letter
gives ample evidence:

fortunate man and am tempted to

Fashions at Southern Resorts
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

When we get word from Palm
Beach and other southern play
grounds that high colors are enor-
nously popular. we should not take
this as prediction that quite the
same galaxy of colors will prevail
elsewhere when spring comes. In
many respects Palm Beach fashions
IN late winter are pretty good
barometer of what smart women the
. country over will be wearing few
months later. But this does not apply
as well to colors as to the shape OF
hats, the future Of fabrics, details OF
trimming and accessories. And this
sor the very good reason that the
bright suns of the southern seaside
resorts are highly favorable to very
high colors.
The brighter the skies and the
more vivid the sunlight the brighter
may be eht colors OF frocks and hats.
Trench women have long accepted
this as automatic. Recently Ameri-
cans have learned it. Hence smart
women, who wear birds of paradise
under southern skies. put on the
tledove. the grackle or the magpie
when they return to the dull skies OF
early spring at home.
But even after you have made due
allowance 1Or tnlS Idcl IL appears
manifest that higher colors are in
favor now than they were twelve
months ago.
1t Is because OF this that milliners
everywhere in this country are feel
ing safe III the assumption that as
the season advances apace. the black
or gray or white or beige OF cocoa
colored hat will be in demand: be
cause the smart woman finds Il
neutral-toned hat Indispensable when
she wears a colurful frock.
Conversely, when she wears q high
y co1ored hat she selects a neutral
colored frock. At q recent exhibition
OF early spring millinery when many
of the new highly colored fowered
hats were shown the problem of sub
ordinating frocks to hats worn by
the models was solved by having the
frocks of uniform cut and color. The
color was that light soft brown call
ed fallow.
For most of US the blacl; frock is

The easiest way to keep the nails
short and the skin smooth around the
nails edges Is to use the manicure
scissors, but as this Is only putting
Off an evil day It IS not advisable TO

be filed to shape their ends and the

There Is one bit of the nail where
the use of the manicure scissors is
imperative-that Is the tiny corner
where the very front edge of the nail

Your Home and

Winter Shrubbery.
BY HELEN KENDALL.

Just ut this time homemakers will
find it worth while to study the ex-
teriors of their houses with an eye
to the planting of shrubbery which
will make them more attractive next
Year.
The suburban cottage especially
needs to have its connection with the
ground softened and partly concealed
by the judicious grouping of ever
green's. barberry bushes, rhododen-
drons or other shrubs which keep
their beauty through the winter
months. Many houses have a bleak
appearance during the snowy season,
but would have both 81 homeiike and
an artistic aspect II they had their
feet set III warm green winter over
shoes.
Now is the time TO give the cottage
the once-over and decide what It
needs. Notice places that have An
empty. neglected look, such as the
corners of the buildings, the angles
at either side Of the verauda, the
spaces beneath the windows. Find
