BOSTON, March Miss Louisa NJ. Alcott
died Tuesday morning. For long time Miss
Alcott has been suffering from nervous pros

Miss AlCott was born on her fathers
birthday and it is singular that she should so

Louisa May Alcott was born in 1888 and
began writing at Chicago at the age of l6.
The first work which gave her wide reputa-

liar character followed, and all We're read

and blood children, with all their faults, and
all their virtues, too. And it upon her
thorough sympathy with and delineation of
such young people that Miss Alcott's fame
must rest Her books were thoroughly
wholesome, and no boy or girl could read one
of them without having awakened within
him or her aspirations that were bound to be
productive of good.
