ciated with his recent literary work.
The other daughter, Clara. recently
married the Russian pianist, Osslp Ga

for Europe with her husband.
Miss Jean wa, the constant compah-
ion of her father acting to some extent
as his assistant, secretary and literary
amanuensis. She was a young woman
OF varied accomplishments, having
Travelled widely and lived for time IN
Germany.
Her literary tendencies followed those
Of her father, and she had his viVaclty
of manner and to some extent resem-
bled him in personal appearance. Her
tastes were literary rather than social,
so that she did not often appear at
social gatherings.
Her devotion to her father was shown
only Yesterday when she personally tel
ephoned to the Associated Press a
statement from her father. humorously
dismissing the report that he was dy-
ing.
Miss Clemens at that time spoke af-
fectionately of her fathers good health
and made CHEEKY reference to this hap

Seeing the burning clothing, the latter
turned the hose on her.
Before the burning clothing was
taken from the woman, she had been
badly scorched. A hurried call brought

one of the chief attractions will be
Mrs. McLain's exhibit of Siamese.
without a doubt her collection of these
mysterious cats cannot be equaled i'm
the United States.
Mrs Stearns of Pasadena will be one
of the largest exhibitors, as she has
entered the best of her famous kennels.
Mrs c. w. e. Smith of Highland
