MISS. MILDRED CURTIS LEE.

Miss Mildred Curtis Lee is dead. The
daughter of the greatest commander,
who was in himself the Confederacy
during the last two years of the historic
struggle, is with her father, General
Robert E. Lee, by whom she was idol
lied while he lived. And no greater love
could daughter have for her father than
that of Mildred Lee, who was on visit
! to friends in New Orleans, recuperating
from illness incurred in Virginia. There
was no premonition of her sudden disso-
luton, and she and her friends believed
her health would be recovered in few
weeks. Her death was therefore not an
ticipated and came as shock. 1t was
so unexpected that when announced and
when the veterans of Lee heard of it, and
realized the inevitable and recalled the
sweet-faced little tot in Richmond, they
were moved by the deepest emotion and
could not repress the tears which came
from their hearts. Throughout this coun-
try there is mourning for this ideal
daughter Of the South, gifted by nature
with many graces and charms and whose
accomplishments were radiated in the
loneliness Of beautiful wonlanhood.
Throughout the South she was be-
loved. and while they live the memory of
this gentle and lovable daughter of the
peerless Lee will be enshrined in the
hearts Of the veterans Of the Confeieracy
and of the people Of the Southland in a
wealth OF inexpressible affection.
