Mrs. Charles Emory Smith,
Widow Of Cabinet Officer, De-

LOST HUSBAND AND BABY
She viii Devote Life to Work
Among Poor-Sister Tells
Story of Sorrow.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-That Mrs.
Henrietta Nichols Smith. the beauti-
full and brilliant widow of Charles
Emory Smith. editor and Cabinet Of
fieer will take the ven at the Con-
vent of Our Lady Of Christian Doc
trine at the expiration of six months,
has been confirmed by Mrs. Smiths
sister, Mrs. James B. Clews, wife Of
the banker, in her home, Eighty fifth
street and Fifth avenue.
Mrs. Smith is at present novitiate
in the convent. The story of her de-
cision to give her life to the order was
told by Mrs. Clews yesterday. She
said:
To Give Life to Poor.
1T seems a human sacrifice, that
is almost au impossibility but the
fact remains that my lovely sister has
decided to give up her life to the
poor. As hard as it is to have her
forsake her old life. which was au
ideally beautiful and useful one. both
and my sister. Mrs. James f. Sulli-
van, of Philadelphia. feel that pro-
tests are of no avail. The sweet ac-
ceptance by my sister of her present
hardships-or what would be hard
ships to me--is pathetic to us all
added Mrs Clews.
THE step is taken after long
months OF serious consideration.
Much of my sisters life has been
given TO helping those less fortunate
than herself. When Or. Smith died
and when her baby passed away, she
spent more and more Of her time in
work among the very needy.
Lives Amidst Poverty.
"The order which she has entered
is comparatively a new one. having
been established about six years ago,
Both Cardinal Farley and Monsigner
Lavelle are intensely Interested in it,
and my sister talked matters over
with both of them. Now she is in
the most forlorn and poverty stricken
part of the East Side.
Il went down to see her. The rule
of the order is that doors must be
closed at o'clock. I was surprised
when | left TO see little girl holding
a baby in her arms and surrounded
by five other little children on the
convent steps.
II asked her why she was standing
there in the cold. and she replied that
as her mother did not get home from
work until 8 she would rather re-
main near the convent than go home.
Gives Food to Poor.
Il went back and told my sister.
She spoke with the mother superior,
and the little folks were brought in
side out OF the cold, and orders were
given not to let the children leave
until the parents got home from work.
You see, the convent is doing a won
derful work. 1t takes care during the
day Of little children whose mothers
must work. Then there is a bread
line and a kitchen where poor men
and women may have food in emer-
geney. My sister wrote me that she
had doled out hot soup and food to
a thousand hungry men. many Of
whom were suffering intensely from
the cold"
