Quaker Girl Who Helped
Modern American Girl

THIS afternoon more than 1000
l. women from all over the United
States will attend Il special memorial
service at Mount Hope cemetery.
Rochester y. Y. at the grave Of
Susan b. Anthony. who was called
the Napoleon of the woman's suffrage
movement by William Henry Chan
ming. Few girls of the present day
realize what an unusual woman this
pioneer i'll the ranks Of famous
American women really was. With
Elizabeth Cady stanton she was in
defatigable in working in the in
tereSts of the women and girls OF
Susan F. Anthony was born in
South Adams. Mass. February -.
1920. Her father was a deeply re
ligiouS but exceptionally broad
minded Quaker. He was temporarily
forced out of the church at the time
of his marriage because he fell IN
love with n girl of the Baptist faith.
but later he was forgiven and al
lowed to attend his own church TN
til time came when he showed in
many ways that he neither feared
nor respected many of the minor rul-
ingS of his sect.
As a result Of her fathers religious
troubles, Susan grew up deeply in
terested in the Quaker faith but not
as strict a follower in detailed OBJ
servanee of the Quaker customs:
staunchest personal friend in later
years, says in d sketch of Miss An
thongs life, written in 1897;
To-day Miss Anthony Is an agnoS-
tic. Every energy of her soul is
centered upon the needs of this
world. Her belief is not orthodox
but il is religious.
Susan p. Anthony was the daugh-
ter of a very wealthy man. cotton
manufacturer. but her father believed
in educating his daughters to be self
supporting and diSdained the friVol-
tiles of life. To prevent the young
men of the town in which he lived
from drinking liquors at the hotel
where the young people were wont
to dance. he allowed them to dance
in the beautiful spacious rooms or
his fine home. However, he would
not let his own children dance, and
believed that even games and pie
lures We're meaningless luXuries. The
effect of this attitude on the part
Of her stern father on Susan's own
ideas of art and beauty Is amply
shown in the manner in which she
visited palaces and art galleries in
Europe much later in life. She
seemed utterly devoid OF the slight
est interest or sense of appreciation
of such things. Mrs. Stanton gives
the following as an incident of this:
Wandering through gorgeous
exclaimed: What do you find here
to admire? If it were a school of 500
children being educated into the
right of self-government l could ad-
mire it, too; but standing for one
mans pleasure, I say no."
In an old monastery in Florence,
Italy, she wrote on a register for
visitors:
Perfect equality for women, civil.

Flirtatious Fanny.

There was pert young fapper II
Whose hair was curly gold,
Whose blue eyes could look innocent,
Or wicked-we are told.
She seemed to spy out everything
In every nook or Granny.
Because she dashed around, they said,
Just gay, fiirtatious Fanny"
In study. play, or even sports,
Shed grow enthusiastic;
Her energy and spirits both
Seemed equally elastic.
Her fine success in every line
To others seemed uncanny,
For generally they thought Of her
AS gay. flirtatious Fanny.
When parties threatened to be dull
They knew on whom to call;
When clubs had plans to formulate
They'd always, one and all,
Not any wise old granny
But that elusive butterfly,
Gay, fiirtatious Fanny.
The few who really understood
This masquerading fiapper
Would frequently demonstrate
The cheap and glittering wrapper
OF frivolous effect.
But she was really canny.
She said: True friends will get be-
meath
The gay, fiirtatious Fanny"
SO on her careless seeming way
This busy little fapper
Went gayly. Blithely she ignored
Those jealous who would slap her.
She kept her own wise counsel,
Nor consulted Sister Annie.
And now today she's winning out,
is gay, firtatious Fanny.

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

DERTHA, according to Robert
- Southey, one of the most famous
of the sO-called Lake school, Of Brit
ish poets. is the most euphonious of
all names for girls and women. 1t is
a simple, unassuming name. yet has
a its motto "nastership." The mean
ing of Bertha is said to be bright
ness" and the emblem for a girl of
this name is an imperial crown. The
flower chosen for Bertha is the pur-
pie lily. or tieur de lis, used as the
royal symbol OF France.
Bertha is generally considered as
derived from the Teutonic "Perahta.' -
and Berthrada is still used as Il Vari-
alton of the name, although IL is not
nearly so well known as Bertha. The
Italian and Spanish variations of
Bertha include Btrta and Berchita.
The French Is Rerte OF berthe. OF
the English dirninutives for Bertha.
Bert or Bertie are the most com
monty used.
There have been several royal Ber-
thas and two saints Of that name. The
first saint. generally associated with
st. Augustine in religious tales, was
princess Of the Rhineland. who
married Ethelbert. the first Saxon
Il.
King of Kent from $50 to 61j. Queen
Bertha is accredited with having as
sisteG st. Augustine in spreading the
Christian religion throughout Eng
land. She was said TO be of q diplo-
matte &S Well as pious nature. and by
clever maneuvering not only got her
husband to become a Christian, but
also persuaded his nephew, King of
Essex. to do likewise.
The second st. Bertha was a French
princess Of the seventh century. Leg
EMS have it that this Bertha mar
ri"G Prince GoInhert. Their love was
idcaliStic. and she was so spiritual
during her life on earth that the
peasants say that her body is be
lieved TO be as beautiful as when
she was alive. although buried for
200 years.
Th most famous strictly historical
Bertha was Bertha of the Large
Foot" daughter of Caribert. Count of
Laon. She was considered an excel
lent spinner and one of her feet was
said TO be much larger than the
other. She was the wife of Pepin the
Great and mother of the great
Charlemagne. She lived to be very
old and has been the subject Of many
poems. and legends. Some of these
tales claim that she had a swans
foot in order to accomplish her spin
ming more easily.
In the mountain districts Of Aus
tria st. Bertha is celebrated as a
good natured fairy. She is generally
called Frau Bcrtcha. and on Mild
Bertcha's day many of the farmer
girls and boys climb the mountain
sides and sing and dance and ring
cowbells. She is the patron saint OF
babies. Suparstitious folk sometimes
say they have seen her sitting beside
the cradles OF CRYING babies and
rocking them soOthingly. When the
negleCtful mother or nurse appeared
Frau Bertcha vanished immediately.
Because Of the constant associ;i-
tfCn of the art of spinning with
women named Bertha, queen BERTHA
of Burgundy. wife of King Hugo of
Italy. is represented on coins of tha t
country as spinning even while seat
ed on the throne.

memory Of which was duly celebrated
on the identical spot last Friday and
yesterday. when these hundreds Of
v" n .'e.""atcs. repre-
senting thousands of other women in
the United States, met for the sew
enty-fifth anniversary of that origi-
nal meeting in 1S+S. Miss Anthony'S
father and mother attended that first
meeting and Miss Anthony herself is
said to have laughed merrily at the
idea. The deep impression that some
of the discussions made upon her par
ents at that meeting, however. in
terested the hilarious Susan.
In 1852 she met Mrs. Stanton for
the first time at an anti-slavery meet
lE'-. and Irnn traJ dat on 'h"v were.
not only fast friends. but worked to-
eether constantly, touring the coun-
try and speaking. writing and plan
ming for women's rights.
Miss Anthony was the first woman
to speak on the floor of a teachers
convention. She helped to introduce
a resolution for recognition of the
pay. which was carried despite the
presidents protests. She organized tho
Woman'S National Loyal League to
support the government in the civil
war. She tested the fifteenth amend
nent by casting her ballot in Roches-
Ter. Wh"rr sue registered for voting.
She was arrested. found guilty by an
instructed jury and fined. She refused
to pay the fine.
In 1878 Susan r. Anthony secured
