Marie Manning (January 22, 1872 —November 28, 1945) was a newspaper columnist and novelist in the early 20th century. She wrote the first newspaper advice column, ''Dear Beatrice Fairfax'', in 1898, the precursor to modern versions such as ''Dear Abby'' and ''Ann Landers''. ==Early life== Manning was born in Washington, DC to Elizabeth Barrett and Michael Charles Manning. Her year of birth, while thought to be 1872, was unknown to even her immediate family and closest confidants during her lifetime. She was educated at various private schools in the District of Columbia, graduating from Miss Kerr's, a finishing school for girls. Her mother had died in childbirth and her father died when she was 18 years old. This sent her to England in the early 1890s to live with relatives; here she studied British society and wrote her first novel, ''Lord Alingham, Bankrupt''. It was published in 1902. Manning began writing as a columnist for the ''New York World'' in 1896 at the "space rate" of $5 per week. After being granted an exclusive interview with the President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, she was promoted to permanent staff and her salary was raised to $30 per week. When the paper's Editor moved to the ''New York Evening Journal'' in 1898, she followed at his invitation. There she collaborated with two other women to create a women's page entitled the "Hen Coop".
