Mrs. Aver had lived permanently in
Paris since 1899, and no one will be
more missed in the French capital. She
was the most prominent member Of the
American colony there and one OF the
best known women OF that city. Her
great wealth, her lavish expenditures,
her brilliant entertainments her gowns
AMI her Jewels were the talk of The fau-
bourgs in the city ON the Seine.
A prominent newspaper has said OF
her. she was really n good woman, one
OF the most charitable and generous iu
the world. and those who said ill of her
were those who had been benefited by
her bounty
She was a liberal patron OF art paid
enormous sums for pictures and was
ever ready 10 aid the struggling Amer
lean artists and singers who went
abroad To- study. Her purse and her
sympathy were never appealed 90 i'm
vain. and often she sought out those
whom she believed 60 Doe worthy. She
had n retinue oE servants. employed a
dentist. who visited her daily, and a.
physician TO look after the members OF
her household. while she consulted spe-
cialists. To- whom She paid rlinceiy fees.

wears her heart where the DAVIS can

affairs TO herself. She is the woman
who doesn't talk loudly in public and
who doesn't overdress. Modesty does

women who are as exquisitely modest
as the angels.' women who could put
out their hands and lift up that other
woman who has fallen and never feel
that they were soiling the tips OF their
fingers. The modest woman is the char
liable one. for charity and purity are
twin sisters.
