Prepares Feast. Takes Life.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Because of dis
appointment over the failure of her
father to recoup a shattered fortune
Miss Florence Osborne, a pretty Hyde
Park girl, committed suicide yester-
day at the family residence, 5201 JEFF
ferson avenue.
The young woman, her age being
twenty-five, is said to have aspired to
a high place in society, but the means
of her father, Eugene F. Osborne, a
consulting mining engineer, would not
permit it, and she was consequently
sad.
There was about the whole thing a
touch of pathos that is seldom
equaled. A young friend, l.. w. Breu-
ell living at 1920 Berkeley avenue,
and w. S. Moves, residing next door
to the Osborne home. were the special
ly invited guests to dinner which
she herself prepared, but instead OF
sitting down to the festal board, as
they had expected, they arrived in
time to help carry the girl from the
basement, where she had killed her
self.
