Pinkie" is the name by which countless
Americans know the young girl whose por-
trait by Sir Thomas Lawrence is reproduced on
today's cover as the second in our series, Chill
dren The World Will Always Remember"
Pinkie'S real name, as noted on the label
attached to the picture at the Henry E. Hunt
ington Library and Art Gallery at San Marine,
Calf, was Sarah Moulton-Ba
A stiff and decorouS name it is, but it is con-
nected with one of the most romantic episodes
in English literature, and one that fits well with
the image of the Sweet-faced child whose grace
full figure, filmy white dress and floating pink
ribbons are dominated by her intense dark
eyes. For our Pinkie's brother, Edward, was
the father of the poeteSs Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, best known and loved, perhaps
for her passionate "Sonnets From The Portu-
guese." The play and movie versions of
The Barretts Of Wimpole Street" have made
nearly everyone familiar with the story of how
Elizabeth escaped her fathers tyranny by
clipping with the poet Robert Browning.
Pinkie, who looks as if she would have
approved the match her grim, domineering
brother Edward did everything possible to
avert, was long dead by then, however. She
died in 1875, at the age of II, the very year
Lawrence painted her portrait
