the venerable and much respected Mrs.
Mary Sargent. When the goods were
packed, one Of the officers of the society
pinned a note on the quilt stating the fact
that a lady nearly eighty years old had
made it and asked the recipient to send a
line of acknowledg ment to the donor. A

whose aged fingers had wrought SO faith
fully for the good of the institution she
