MRS. CROESUS SAMARITAN.
One of the richest of all the women of
the world. one who is so rich that the story
OF her money reads like a fable, Is busy
to-day helping the poor or her neighbor-
hood. If you are reading this at morning
you can picture her walking rapidly along
country roads with her arms filled with
strange packages and a smile for the cuun-
try folks who pass. If it is afternoon
when your eyes fall upon this paragraph
you must think of her doing her daily
hospital work, for never is She SO far re-
moved from the city that she cannot take
carriage and train from her country house
and spend an hour in hospital work, her
favorite charity. And at night--yes, now
you have caught>her mapping frcm good
work, for she has society duties, but in
the midst of all her talk you viii hear
words about ''St. Luke's mission" 'Bible

This wealthy Samaritan is Mrs. John

was she ever more active in charitable works
than this month. Her daughter Edith's
marriage to Harold Mccormack. Son of
the reaper man, is the talk of the social
world across the entire continent And
partly to oonsecrate the event and partly
from thankfulness that her favorite daugh-
ter has found SO true q heart in return
for her own, this good woman has been
devoting half of each day to helping those
who have no such cause to be happy.
The Rockefeller home on the Hudson
where the marriage is being planned,
abounds in fruits It's hundreds of acres

is no greater apple farm along the Hudson.
And this fruit has been made into appe-

Rockefeller actually superintends her own

cerned She is a Western woman, strong
and brave. The temptations of wealth
have never touched her She is as sweet

teacher, and her bookkeeper husband a
chance to enjoy the things that success
can bring.
