possessed to an uncommon degree the at
tributes of energy and ambition. Endowed
with especial talent as a cake and pastry
cook she began in a small way to I'LL orders
in that line. The reputation of her cookery
soon became such that her time and capac-
| ity were severely taxed in order to supply
the demand. The wealthy summer visitors
at Camden, ISleSboro and other resorts
were outspoken IN their admiration l11 o1 her
skill, and this led to the flllng OF several
foreign orders which gave Mrs. Mays
cookery widespread reputation. She
manifested just pride in her success and
derived from the work an amount OF salts
faction that quite offset the labor it re-
quired. Mrs. May had been member OF
