correspondents, under date of May Is,
atlectiOnately writes: "Our honored
teacher, the faithful corresponding sec
retary, the one whose name attracts so
many OF the old girls, all of whom love
Miss Mary Frank Hawkins, ,all of whom
owe II TO her careful training and guild
ance up the slippery hill of science, has
been, and ls, confined to her bed with
the intlammatory rheumatism. This IL
bitter to mingle with the sweet at our
reunion this year.
We have word to-day from Mrs.
GeOrgie LctchwOrth, of Los Angeles,
Cal. She sends love TO all the girls.

know of no changes in class of '56, to
which belonged"
OF the six graduates of 81, there
were Mrs. Marion Carter Alexander.
Mrs. Sarah Ustick Eastwood and Mrs.
Belle Beattic Downing.
Mrs. Alexander says: "I wish for

all, both the old girls and the young"
Mrs. Eastwood has removed during
the year from Columbus to Sweet
Springs,an in her new field, as before,
is proving her eminent fitness for that
most trying of all positions, minis
ter's wife.
1t is my sad duty to chronicle the
Iaath nf Mrl lnxuntnu I'm tim 1hth
day OF December, 1889, in the forty
ninth year OF her age, she passed away,
| after painful illness OF seven weeks.
She had no children, and was preceded
to the grave by her husband exactly
| twentv-three months. For thirteen
years she had lived in Salt Lake City,
owning beautiful home, and from it
dispensing hospitality with lavish,
gracious hand. She is described as q
woman of far more than ordinary in
tellectual endOwments; moved In the
most refined and cultivated circles of
society; and was DEVOTED Christian,
member of the Presbyterian church.
A sister, who had not seen her for
twenty years ,On the day when she died,
told me most touchingly OF her unusual
ability as u letter writer. Said she:
"We cOrrespOnded constantly during
all those years, and at Christmas, par
ticularly. she never failed to write me
long letter; SO the first thought that
came into my mind after the news OF
her death, close upon the holidays, WAS,
no more sweet letters-hOw can live
without them?' In an interval OF con
sciousness, just before her death, Mrs
Downing exclaimed: "Oh, to 20 Home
and be with Jesus" And thus sh,
"fell on Sleep"
ASLEEP In JesusI blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes 10 weep;
Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest.
Whose waking is supremely blest."
The class of '5s is reported unchang

Wayman, OF the class OF '6l, who live
near Odessa: "She keeps house for
