authoress, Sarah Orne Jewett, in
memory by creating scholarship in
Simmons college in Boston, to be
known by her name, is such as would
have greatly pleased her to antici-
pate She was one of the most retir-
L ing and modest of authors, giving out
her beautiful chronicles and inter-

character without the least conceit
and never overrating her pleasant
service. Miss Jewett was much in
terested in Simmons college. After
reading she gave to the $50 students
year or so ago, Mrs. Annie Fields
gave to North hall a photograph OF
Miss Jewett and an autograph poem,
| framed for a place on the wall near
where she sat. 1t is desired to raise
$4,000, and any one who would desire
to contribute to her memory Is asked
to send sums, large or small to Miss
Hester Cunningham, Simmons col
lege, the Fenway. Boston. There are
hundreds who owe delight to Sarah
o. Jewett's beautiful comprehension
of the New England rural character
at its best, and she had also a fine
divination in respect to the newer
elements In our constituency. 1t
should be said that acknowledge
ments of gifts will be made privately.
