Career.

a victim of an affection OF the heart anu
Du Maurier has gone the same way. At
the zenith of his popularity the author
has succumbed to the heart trouble, from
which he always suffered, his suffering
being accentuated by the constant sue
cession of exciting incidents in which the
closing few months of his life were
spent This, complicated by an affection
of the lungs, took him OF.
A fortnight ago Du Maurier suffered
from chill which settled upon his lungs.
The family was hastily summoned on
September 81, when he was in critical
condition, but he rallied, gained strength,
and the Improvement reported last even
ing continued until midnight, when he
suffered a relapse, from which he never
rallied He died in his new house on
Oxford square, Hyde park.
George Louis Pamela Busson Du
Maurier was born March 6, 1884, and
was educated in Paris, but always re-
NAMED a British subject. His grand
parents on his fathers side We're ''emi-
gres'' from France during the "Reign of
Terror" He came over to England at
the age of IL, and studied chemistry at
University college, London. AfterWard
he studied painting in Paris under the
famous M. Gleyre. also in Antwerp and
Dusseldorf He first began to draw on
wood IN England Tor once w eek, al
forwards for Punch and the Cornhill
Magazine and subsequently he joined the
Punch staff. From that time forward
his weekly drawings made him one OF
the best-known and most admired of
contemporary artists. He illustrated
"Esmond," .'The Story of a Feather,
''Thackery's BALLADS and many other
books. He was an associate of the Royal
Society of Painters in Water Colors.
It was not until the appearance of
'"Trilby" a few years since that Du
Maurier became noted as an author. He
leaped into instant fame both in this
country and on the continent. The book
went through several editions and before
long was dramatiZed. Du Maurler' S
profits were enormous and orders for
further literary work poured in upon
him in every mail. This excitement I'M
doubtedly weakened Du Maurier's rather
frail constitution and FASTENED his
death.
''The Marian" Du Maurier's new
novel, for which he was to have received
$4,000, began in the October number
of Harper's. The story has been eagerly
watched for and was expected to create
stir in the literary world. It was an
nounced that it was to be written in a
new form, but it is Enthusiastically the
work of the author of ssTrilby." AS in
"Trilby," a character is introduced who
is angelic in beauty, but instead of be-
ing a great singer is a, great literary
genius.

STILL HELPING The NEEDY
Times Charity Bureau Finds a
Wide Field of Work.
PitifuT~ Case of an Aged woman
Whose Attic Has Been Made
Bit CHEEKY.

The intense cold OF the early part OF
last week so packed the Charity Bureau
with applicants for food clothes and shelter
that the manager feels personally grateful
TO the thermometer for improving its
weather. The average work OF the bureau
is heavy enough without the interference of
cold waves.
Many poor people were provided with
coal and wood during the icy snap many
more were given groceries ard clothing,
and though the bureau would soon find
itself bankrupt If ii attempted 10 meet the
demands made upon it by those who owe
for shelter, q few were helped out with
their rent.
One case so aided was that of an elderly
little woman who lives alone in back
attic, whose roof slopes down to the floor.

curtainless panes, and when the agent OF
the bureau first visited the premises there
