, Countess of Blesslhgtoii 1780-1849
By Willis. 3k Abbot
Perhaps it Is not extraordinary that
the nearest approach-Mo a real Paris
salon that London ever knew was pre
sided over by an liialv woman. The
distinctively British, type does not lend
Itself to the gayety, the esprit, the In
tellectual thrust and parry of the con
versatlon In a typical saldn. But your
Irishman, from bog trotter to peer, Is
ever talking, and wit Is his saving
grace whether he be Mr. Dooley or
Bernard Shaw.
The childhood of 'Marguerite Power,
who became Countess of BleBalngton,
reads like a page from one of Lever's
Irish, novels. Her father was a typical
squire, hot of temper, hard riding, hard
drinking. He was a Tale old Irish
gentleman," who ground the faces of
the tenants, who repaid him by mutilat
ing bis cattle and burning his hayricks.
His daughter seems to have inspired
him with no more affection than his
peasantry. Before she waa 16 he mar
, rled her,. despite her piteous protests,
to a certain Captain Maurlcs Farmer
,;:of'ta neighborhoods Captain Farmer
knew that the girl deteaPed the sight
. of him, so be forebore addressing ber
personally, but made hla propoaals to
the father, supporting them by financial
arguments which appealed to Power,
who was chronically "broke." The fath
er knew well enough that his daughter
hated her'aujtor, and that the latter
was subject to Intermittent attacks, of
dangerous Insanity, but, needing the
money, he sold his child. She lived
with her hueband but three months, en
during the whirs au sorts of physical
brutality from him In his periodical
fits of- madness. At the end of that
time the craxy captain was ordered to
Join his regiment.
As his wife could not live with him
in camp, she returned to her parents'
house, finding there but a cold wel
come and the assurancs that she must
return to her husband when his period
of service had expired. Happily for
her ths warrior In a fit of rage drew
his sword on his colonel, and for this
was expelled from the army. Not
long after, drinking deep with some
friends in Kings Bench Prison
In those old English debtors' prisons
Treat laxity waa permitted he fell
from a second story window and ended
his tipsy and useless life, s Shortly
thereafter Squire Power died, boasting
on his last day that the day before
he had taken his "usual four or fivo
glasses of punch."
Thus freed from about as worthless a
pair of male relatives as ever afflicted
a young lady, Mrs. Farmer spent sev
eral years In obsourity, which is ths
more mysterious for that her biograph
ers stubbornly refuse to enlighten us
as to where and hor shs lived. But in
181. being then 27 years old and
seemingly well provided : with .this
world's goods, she appeared In London
and took up a house in Manchester
Square. By dint of her beauty and ber
wit she speedily gathered about her a
company of Interesting people. Among
these was the Earl of Blesslngton, a
gentleman of -fortune and with extrav
agant habits quite sufficient to prevent
that fortune from growing any latger.
He was fond of private theatricals, act
resses, gay raiment, and beautifully
adorned rooms. His first wife had died
before he met Marquerite Fanner, but
as hs had spent $20,000 on a stately,
not to say stagy, funeral pageant In
her honor and mourned her loyally for
two years he thought that matrimonial
, account closed.
Mrs. Farm sr was then In ths perfeo
, tion of matured beauty. . "Her form,"
writes a chronicler of her time, "was
exquisitely moulded, with an Inclination
to ' fulness, but no finer proportions
could be Imagined; her movements were
' pleasing and graceful at all times."
Blesslngton was captivated with her at
once, and they were married In 1111.
He took his bride to his Irish estate,
Mountjoy Forest, where shs was some.

pilgrimage despite the prominence of

and Lady Blesslngton tried her 'pren

met Byron, whose weakness shs de
scribed as "a flippancy Incompatible
with the nature wo attach to the author
of Child Harolde and Manfred, and a
want of self possession and dignity
that ought to characterize a man of
worth and genius." Nevertheless her
book, "Conversations With Byron," Is
a most readable record of the poet's
small talk. ,

Granny Fox Has Another Disap
pointment. By Thornton W. Burgess.
(Copyright 1913. by J. Q. Lloyd.)
When Old Granny Fox found that
Old Man Coyote was not at his usual
napping place she was sure that
Reddy Fox must have been very
stupid, and thought that he saw him
there when he didn't She hurried to
the Laughing Brook and waded In It
for a little way In order to. destroy
her scent, so that Bowser the Hound
would not know In which direction
shs had gone. Tou know water la
alwaya the friend of little animals
who ' leave acent in their footsteps.
Bowser came baying up to the edge
of the Laughing Brook and there he
stopped, for bis wonderful nose could
not follow Granny In the water, and
he could not tell whether she had gone
up or down or across ths brook.
But Bowser is not one to give up
easily. No, Indeed 1 He has learned
many of Granny's tricks, and now he
knew well enough what Granny had
done. At least Bowser thought, that
he knew, ,
"She'll wade a little way snd then
shs will- come out of the water, so
all I have to do- Is to find the place
where shs has corns out, and there I
will find her, tracks again," said he,
and with his nose to the ground hur
ried down one bank of the Laughing
Brook. '
He went as far as he thought
Granny oould havo waded, but there
was no trace of her. Then he crossed
the brook, and with his nose still to
ths ground ran back to the starting
place along the other bank.
. . "She didn't -go down ths brook, - so
shs must have gone up," said Bowser,
snd started up ths brook ss eagerly
as he had gons down. , After running
as far as ls thought Oranny oould
possibly havs waded Bowser crossed
over snd ; rsn back along the other
bank to ths starting place without find
ing any trace of Granny Fox. At last
with a foolish and ashamed air, "Bowser
gave It up and started for home, and
all ths time Granny Fox was lying In
plain sight watching; him. 4 Tea, sir, she
was watching him nd laughing to her
self, -You see, shs knew perfectly well
thst Bowser depends more on his nose
than on his eyes and that when he is
running with tils hose to the ground he
can, see very little around him. So she
had' simply waded down ths Laughtn
Brook to a fiat rock in the middle of
it, and on this shs bad stretched her
self out and kept perfectly still.. Twice
Bowser had gone - right- past without
seeing her. . She snjoyed seeing him

Have you ever thought that there
was something holy about work done
with hands?
Craftsmanship of all sorts appeals to
one. In those schools where the teach
ing of deficient children is a specialty,
It is impossible, many times, to reach
the Imprisoned Intellect in any other
wav than through the hands. The
simplest tasks are taught to the fin
gers; weaving, twisting paper, tying.
In fact those arts-, which were first

handiwork of these girls, many of
whom find their salvation through busy

It and apparently a practical one too.

Bathing Shoes.
Bathing shoes 1 for any member of
the family may be easily and cheaply
made at home, says Mothers Magazine.
They are atrong enough to protect the
feet from the little stones on the
beaches, and so light that you will
hardly feel them at all. Many swimmers
object to the regular bathing boots
as being somewhat in the way, but
these homeitaade ones are so very light
as to cause no Inconvenience. Take an
old pair of stockings (If they match
the bathing suit so much the better,)
and cut them off Just below the knee.
If they come 'higher they are apt to
hinder a swimmer's movements. Hem
the top edges snd cut and buttonhole
little slits all around, about one inch
below the hem. Buy a pair of cork or
loofah soles (or if you have an old
pair of light slippers you can use the
soles,) and slip Into ths, feet nf the
stockings, fastening them on well. Then,
run a wide tape, or ribbon. If you pre-

tie around the leg, and you have a pair
of really good bathing boots for no
cost at all.

I do not care to lead a life that's stren-

I'm fond of peace and quietude and
resi;
Ths thread of mortal Ufa is frail and
tenuous
And it is short at best
I find no Joy in physical activities.
And these. Invariably almost I shirk;
They are oh, 1 confess my sad pro
clivities 60 very much like work.
Good health I prize, of course; 'tis quite
commendable:
And by mere strength I truly set
some store.

To run, to row, to leap, rids all or

To box, fence, wrestle these sr lots
of fun;

cariously I always hire them donsl
Perhaps my course will soms Jay make

Perhaps my system, after all, la

But why should I break back or leg or

of worldly parsons, said the other day:
"There was a worldly parson of this
type In Philadelphia a great foxhunter
whom a Spruce street Quaker took In
hand.
" 'Friend,' said the Quaker, 'I under
stand thee's very clever at fox-catch
ing'
" 'I have few equals and no superiors
at that sport,' the parson complacently
replied.
" 'Nevertheless, friend,' sstd ths Quak
er, 'if I were a fox I would hide where
thee would never find me.'
" 'Where would vou hldaf askad the
parson, with a frowh.
