ing. brings out the story ~ woman, edu-
Gated. talented and refined. who IN the
earlier years Of her career had wealth and
friends and all the comforts and pleasures
that these could give, but who as the sun
set Of life approached. lost the former,
and gradually saw the latter disappear
until in the last year or two she was
forced 70 ask charity and 70 beg meals IN
cheap restaurants.
Charles r Abbott. a grocer, Of No. 70
West 72d street, and his wife Anna
singer. went over TO the morgue IN Ho-
hoken Yesterday morning and iden'ihed the
body Of the aged woman They had sup
norted Mrs Webb for several months DUR
ing the last year from motives of charity.
Mrs Webb had lived with them until she
got small legacy from a relative who had

Hungry; Asked for Apples.

When she came 70 give me my first
lesson continued Mrs Abbott there
was basket OF fruit On the table and
she asked II she might have an apple. I
asked II she was hungry. and she replied
that she was. I became much interested
in her and from time 20 time she told me
Of her life
"Sha said that her husband was DR..
Webb Of Brdgeton Ne, a cousin Of Or.
W Seward Webb, and that he had died
some twenty-seven years ago.
Mrs Webb told me that her husband
had left her money and that she took IL
and went abroad to study languages ana
art. She said that she lived in Paris dur
ing the winters and spent her summers on
the Riviera. She spoke five languages
fuently and also was sKlful piano
player ana had a good knowledge OF music.
During her stay in Paris Mrs. Webb
said she became interested in descriptions
Of Monte carlo given by her friends and
gnally figured out system Of play which
she believed would prove successful She
visited Monte Carlo TO try out the system
with the usual result-she lost ner money
or large part Of j..
Then. according 70 her. her next plan
was 70 open a high class boarding house
and language school for American girls IN
Berlin. but this venture proved failure,
and. still further reduced in means she de-
cided TO return 70 America and try To
make a living here by teaching.
The hard fortune which had now been
pursuing Mrs. Webb steadily followed her
and financially she went further down hill
Occasionally she succeeded in getting a
little money together, and love Of Europe
drew her hack there whenever she could
afford ~ 0ly the transportation.
