graduation from that school she was
elected librarian Of the college, acting
as custodian and instructor IN library

When Mrs. Wilson died, her beauti-
full daughter filled the place Of mis-

In spite of the pressure of her domes-

woman found time to cultivate her
naturally good voice and to contribute
articles and sketches to the maya
