"Bab" and Her Work.

In the genuine and quite general sor-
row caused by the death in New York
City of Mrs. Isabel Mallon-known to
the world Of newspaper readers as
''Bab"-there is touching tribute to
the virtues Of good and sweet-h ca ted
woman.
The happy whOlesomeness and hope
tullness Of Bab's newspaper work en-
deared her TO her readers in a degree
not commonly enjoyed by many more
pretentious writer's. An earnest little
woman, working for her daily bread,
she saw only the clean and sunny side
Of life, and the brightness and sound,
ness OF life as she saw it we're reflected
in her letters. Her creed was simple
she had an abiding faith In goodness
she liked strong and brave men and
pure and gentle women, she knew the
surprising worth OF cheerfulness, a
laugh was to her an infinitely saner
comment on existence than a sigh.
And IL Is q pleasant thing to know
| that these upbuilding and sustaining
tolk-men or women-win the tendorest
love OF their fellows and carry that love
with them through life. 1t proves that
humanity is sound at the core, that it
prefers sunshine to shadow, and knows,
despite the decsdent and the pessimist,
that there is more OF sunshine than OF
shadow II one will only take the pains
to look for it.
The news reports Of Bab's death
tOuchingly closed with these words:
Her passing has left the world poorer,
and the world is better by far for her
brief sOjourn in it." This is true Of
Bah as 1t is Of all happy-hearted and
hopeful souls. They make the sun
shine Of life.-St. Louis Republic.
