 TRIBUTE TO MRS. HOWARD.
 It is with great sorrow that we have learned that Mrs. Howard has passed away. She, was known throughout the community and h ad made, during her earnest and helpful lifetime, many warm friends. Nearly twelve years ago my husband aud T spent several weeks at Mayland Park, Mashapaug. We were so much attracted by the beauty of the region, and by it's bracing climate, that we returned to it year after year and finally bought a cottage there for 8 summer home. Among the. real pleasures of the place, we valued very highly the friendship and ,neighborly courtesy of all the Towards. No trouble was ever too much for them to take for our com fort. and they were most generous in their kindness to our three children, as one by one they came to us, and in their devotion to oar interests. Each June, upon our return. we found the cottage iu perfect order, with everything needed at once at hand, and there was always 8 glowing fire on the hearth, showing that the very moment of our arrival had been plan ned for. This unfailing kindness was shown not only to our family. in cluding my father and mother, who also bought cottage, but to all the others who spent their summers at the camp. Mrs. Howard held motherly relation to the little colony, the mem bers of which, coming incidentally al first, as we had done, had become permanent summer residents. Mrs. Howard had unusual executive ability, taet. warm heart, keen sense of humor, and she was most un. aelfiah and cheery in disposition She loved nature. and noted every detail of the wonderful beauty of the lake. She was a thoughtful reader of books, Q delightful conversationalist. de voted wife and mother. g good neigh bor, and she had much public spirit Her life had known deep sorrows. bu her fortitude was remarkable.
