jects that has chiefly attracted public
attention to her she has also assisted
personally and privately great many
families in the vicinity of ST. Georges
parish, New York. Many a little rag
ged urchin has been taken shivering
from the street. at her orders. and fit
ted out from head to foot in new warm
clothes. Poverty stricken families hud-
died together on the bare floors of
bleak tenement house. have had their
hearts gladdened by Christmas turkeys
and suitable gifts. Indeed. it is said
that at one time Miss Morgan was tenn
porarily paying the rents OF dozen
families, TO help them over a hard
pinch.
But what diversions has a woman of
this type: is a question that may be
asked. One glance at her tall. robust
/ figure will suffice. She is a typical
outdoor woman. and her greatest
pleasure next to her work is to tramp
the mountains with a rifle over her
shoulder. in search of big game. She
is a crack shot and many bruin has
fallen a victim to her unerring aim.
Miss Morgan is also very fond OF
yachting and spends a great deal OF her
leisure time cruising about on the Cor
sair her fathers palatial boat. She
is also perfectly at home on a horse
and rides magnificently.
, Although she would not be consider
! ed beautiful. Miss Morgan has clear
cut features and big brown eyes. with
an abundance of hair of the same col
or, and she is very attractive young
woman. She has a well shaped. deter
mined mouth and a characteristic way
of closing her lips which tells plainly
of her force of will.

In every way Miss Morgan sets n
commendable example for the young

earnestly to the task OF studying and
