came engaged to he married. Their
union WAS delayed some t'rr, hcvev-
| er, on account of the illness Of Mrs.
Mclean, upon whom Juliet was Il
most devoted and co,r~' ant attendant
So pronounced WAS her devotion to
! her mother, so constant her attention
during that mothers long illness,
that i; is thought the daughter over
taxed her strength and planted the
seeds of the malady which ultimately
caused her death. In 1913 the
Young people were married, Mr..
Garcsche's fortune consisting of n
salary of 500 wear, a wealth of
love and an attitude and will for
work. They came 70 st. Innis and
located here. At the breaking out
of the war Mr.. Gareache was public
administrator, which position he
gave up, and went South in the ser
vice of the Confederacy. After the
war he returned to st. Louis and fit

avenue, Just above Fourteenth street.
Their oldest daughter, Kittie, had
Just graduated at Manhattanville, n.

vent of the Sacred Heart. Her faith
er Il string that she should know
something of the world she was leav-
ing asked her to wait year before
entering the order, and meanwhile to
90 out in society. She consented,
and the house built upon Chouteau
ACKNOWLEDGMENT occupied by tho
Dicksons-was built with especial
reference to it's availability for large
social events. Soon after its COM
pletion Mr.. Garesche died very sud-
denly, and the family went into deep
mourning. At the end of Il year
Kittie entered the Order of the Sa-
cred Heart, where she now Is In
1865, John, Mrs. Garesche's only son,
who was employed in bank ut the
time, was taken suddenly i'll, and
died of congestion of the b-ain III
few days. Two children remained
to the good mother Virginia and
Lilly-the former being strikingly
beautiful and much admired for her
many lovely qualities of heart and i'll
tellect. A few years after her broth
er's death Lilly entered the Sacred
Heart Convent, @here her sister al
ready was, and became and is known
as Mime. Iily Garesche. Shortly af-
ter this Mrs. Garesches daughter,
virginia dicd,ssa had her father and
brother, very suddenly. Mrs.

tic that bound her to the outer
world, and her heartstrinSs being
wound about the two daughters who
were in the herself entered
the order in 1874, and was known ~
Nine. Ba,rluy Garesche. Before ell
tering the convent she had been u
ministerinS angel to many and many
in need of the physical and spiritual
aid, which her means and endOw-
ments enabled her to dispense with
a lanish hand. She moved among
her kind as being of some superior
sphere. She was unlike the rest Of
mortality: She could not be known,
it mattered not how slightly, without
the nameless influence of her noble
nature impressin9 itself upon all with
whom she came in cont tct. In the
content her marked ability naturally
raised her to eminence, and she be-
came mother superior. She was also
the director of the lalies sodality
and her influence was carried by the
members of the sodalisy throughout
the homes Of the city. For some
Il he she lal been sufferer from
consumption and her death has ben
anticipated with fear by all who
knew and loved her. Last winter she
went South in search of renewed
health. The scare, was fruitless.
She died. No prayers are necessary
for the repose of her $ ul Such
characi ers would make a hcale el on
earth.
