HEROINES OF HISTORY
Signif icGnt Incidents in Lives of Famous Women
4-----By MARK STUYYESANT--4A -


A T the brilliant and extraya-
A CANT court of Louis XVI
Il one lovely young girl stood
out as relief from the frivolous
and almost universally indolent
and pleasure-seeking women who
dwelt there. Her name was
Jeanne Louise Henriette Genest,
and her father was merely a
clerk in the foreign office.
But he had high ambitions for
his daughter when she was very
young and had with great
struggle been successful in edu-
eating her far beyond the stand
ards of the girls Of her day and
station in life.
Jeanne spoke English and Ital-
ian fluently. BY the time she
was fifteen years old she ex-
hibited such a taste for learning
and culture that news OF her ac-
complishments were brought to
the ears of the queen-Marie
Antoinette.
Before her sixteenth birthday,
Jeanne was appointed reader to
the three daughters of Louis XVI
and the quartet spent many hap
by hours in the magnificent
palace and gardens at Versailles,
while the clever Jeanne inspired
them with an ambition for
knowledge.
So attractive was this young
woman that she became a gener-
al favorite at court. and was
woed by many admirers, among
them M. Campon, son of the
Secretary Of the Royal Cabinet.
The king was pleased with. the
match-so much that he. volun-
tarily gave her a liberal annuity
as a dowry.
Not only was Jeanne now mar
ried to man of distinguished
family-which assured her a posi-
ton at court-but she was
. promptly appointed as first lady
OF the bed-chamber to Marie
Antoinette.
ogether the queen and her
faithful attendant dwelt in har-
mony and mutual devotion until
they were separated at the time
of The sacking of the Puilleries,
when poor Marie Antoinette fail
ed in her attempt to escape from
the Terrorists and eventually
died on the guillotine.
Fortunately, Madame Campon
survived the Terror. But after
the death of her royal patrons
she found herself penniless and
her husband too i'll to, attempt
any sort of work by which he
might support his family.
But Jennae was not of the dis
position or character to be
crushed by such misfortune. She
assumed the responsibility of pro-
,viding for herself and family.
She had as a young girl been
a teacher, and to her mind at
once came the thought of con.
Quoting a school. Her idea was
immediately carried out. She
established a school at St. Ger
main. ~

to the horizon, or even below II,

This may give 1t the form Of d
short rainbow. the span OF the
halo being less than that Of the
rainbow.
Moreover, the colors IN the halo
have q misty <or sheeny appear

and separated as In the rainbow.
On rare occasions, however, these
coIors may bear quite 9 striking
resemblance to those Of the rain

light that has come to the OBJ
server directly through the
screen Of Watery, or rather Icy
paticles whose retroactive action

should not extend In any case to-
d Justification OF the facts of ma
ture. Neither poet nor novelist
is entitled to uisrepresent nature,
unless he Is dec1aredIy dealing
with purely imaginary and In
vented conditions.
There is not the slightest rea-
son, however, to think that in
the story you speak Of, the atl-
thor had any thought or intAn-
ton to misrepresent natural
phenomenon. We must take him
at his word. that he had seen
what he took for q rainbow In
the west at sunset. TO cau it q
halo might not have served his
purpose, IN view Of the weather
saws which do not make favorable
onens Of those phenon1ena.

terested in Madame Campon's
school an ddeclared herself its
patron.
Through this incident, the name
of Madame de Campoii was
brought to the attention of Ma
poleon, who appointed her super
intendent of a school which he
founded for the daughters of the
members OF the Legion of Honor
This gave Madame de Canyon
great distinction a nd prestige, al
though, because of her own ability
as an educator and her former
position at court, she was already
well known.
It is interesting to know that
in this school was established
and thoroughly taught the first
course In domestic science, al
though at that date the knowledge
of housekeeping did not bear such
a dignified name as it does today.
All was going beautifully for
this splendid woman when Ma
poleon was dethroned and sent
to st. Helena, and she was COM
PEELED to retire to the country.
At this very time, Madabe de
Campon's son died. Because of
this grief and the disgrace which
was heaped upon her by the
adherents of the name regime
the Bourbons--Madame de Cam
pom passed a sorrowful old age,
frightened only by the kind at
tentions Of a few lifelong friends.
But when Madame de Campon
passed away, she was truly
mourned. Her life was not only
well spent, but highly construct
i've. For this reason she is re-
garded as one of the fine charac.
tiers Of her day.

WILL HONOR
LINCOLN'S
FAMILY
Copyright. 1923. BY star Company.

GAINESVILLE, Ill.,-Two un-
kempt graves in a desolate
graveyard near here are soon
to be given attention, after years
Of neglect by a forgetful public.
These mounds are the last rest
ing places OF Thomas and Nancy
Lincoln, father and stepmother of
Abraham Lincoln.
Tourists and sightseers pause
long enough to chip a souvenir
from the rough stone which
serves as the only marker at the
graves of the father and STEP
mother of the Immortal President.
No monument adorns the lot
upon which the little mounds
have been thrown up above the
bodies of these two historic char
acters. A rough stone, probably
picked up from the road, has been
placed at the foot of one of the
graves and a similar marker at
the head Of the other.
The Illinois district of Lions
International, under the direction
of the Hon. Wayne G. Townley,
district governor, have pledged
themselves to the task Of erecting
suitable and fitting monument
to the memory of Lincoln's par
ents. Under the plan each club
pledges one dollar for each mem
Der.
OF the fifty clubs in Illinois al
most half of them already have
mailed checks for their share in
the undertaking. Some aid out
side the organization has been
given also, although no appeal
is being made to outsiders.

DESCRIBED BY WRITER
Lady Angeles Forbes Discusses American
phere" in the British Isles.

and Miss Jenny Jerome married
Lord Randolph Churchill.
Looking through the peerage to-
day, It would be q difficult matter
to find q family into which Amer1-
can blood, to say nothing about
American money, has not been IN
troduced.
The social success achieved BY the
pioneers tempted hosts Of imitatovs
10 follow in their footsteps, with
varying good fortune. In some cases
the lavish spending Of money en-
abled them to buy the privileges
which were so eagerly sought after,
and their efforts for recognition
were crowned with success.
A Knock for the Women.
Their natural adaptability enabled
them to gauge social values very
quickly. and they used the material
at hand to the best advantage--
casting away the successes OF yes
terday for the triumphs OF tO1nor-
row. American women of today
have none of the poise and quiet
ness of the Quaker bonneted Evan
geline It is curious that those who
boast of their long descent from the
Pilgrim Fathers should, by their
very blatancy, be an absolute con-
tradiction Of the Mayflower habits
and manners.
One of the latest American climb
ers is reputed to have paid $4,000
for her presentation at court. The
matter ended there, and she is still
on the Whitechapel side Of the in
ner circle. She is one OF the fan-
ures, but then she chose her peer
ess badly.
There is yet another aspirer to
the social throne who, though start
ing on her meteoric career under
the worst possible conditions, has,
by her indomitable persistence in
showering invitations, accumulated

found cabinet ministers. duchesses,
artists, so-called musicians and oper-
attic and finincial magnates.
Such successes as she has attala-
ed needs not only a long purse, hut
entire lack of sensibility and q
rhinocePos-like skin.
And if timed meat from Chicago

- ONION, Sept. 26.-The Amer
lean invasion Of England has
had a far greater effect on
our social and general life than IS
supposed or admitted.
The advent of the American won.
an brought new atmosphere into
London society, while Americans
generally have consciously or un-
consciously affected our manners
and habits. Our catch-phrases and
our modern dances hail from over
the water.
The easy American methods of
divorce first excited our scorn: and
later our envy and emulation. Here
again example has been eagerly fol-
lowed.
The freedom Of American girls
stimulated our cwn daughters to re-
volt. They demanded the same lib
erty accorded to their sisters over
the water, and have insisted on ex-
ercising the same equality Of the
sexes, which is one of the educational
advantages Of young America.
Blamed for Extravaganza.
Americans are more or less re-
sponsible. for our later-day extrava-
gances. They thought in dollars
where we thought in shillings.
Tradespeople of all kinds were
not slow in taking advantage of this
national characteristic, and the
Englishwoman of moderate means
found herself either unable to com
pete with the new arrivals, or hur-
ried into reckless expenditure. The
thousands spent on entertaining by
prominent Americans set a new
standard and excited rivalry which
had no limits.
With the advent of the American
tourist" hotel prices scared, and
travelling for the average Britisher
of limited income was soon out of
the question.
Even the boosted freedom of
our press is merely an anaemlc copy
of the yellow" papers of the States.
French Press as Contrast.
Where France has full political
freedom of expression, the personal
paragraph is non-existent in papers
of repute. The English papers, on
the other hand are largely filled
with gossip" columns and photo
graphs and paragraphs of people in
the public eye.
The American journalistic meth.
DDS, which have taken such firm
foot in this country. are responsible
for the tone" Of our 'press" today.
