food which cleared away the troubles.

The husband was reading a news

Unnamed Heroine

The anniversary is responsible for
the publication of many "reminiscences
concerning the sinking of the Titanic.
What the survivors and the chron-
fclers most like to dwell upon is the
heroism displayed by passengers and
crew aboard the vanished liner. There
are tales of Major Butt, the Strausses,
First Officer Murdoch and many 9TH

hour of disaster. But there goes quite
