Notonly does she bake, cook, wash, sew, knit,but will take a turn in the field and helpstack the peat ; her influence also is felt inChurch work, in business, and even in localgovernment. A voracious reader, not ofnovels, but of the weekly paper, she isalways well informed. Above all, she is amother who has given to the Empire manyof her ablest sons. The Scots have many of the finequalities of the English—only more so. 760 WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS Husband and wife are on excellent terms,and equally enjoy the joke that the bestEnglishman is a Scotsman !

These are women who were more than just beautiful, they were talented and were able to have successful careers for themselves during a period when men dominated the entertainment industry.

Frederick Park and Ernest Boulton AKA “Fanny and Stella.” Yale students Vaudeville performer Julian Eltinge Civil War era Victor C.
