MRS. GODFREY DIES
AT 1.-THE OAKS" IN
FlFTY-EIGHTH YEAR
Prominent Society Woman
Expires Suddenly-Life
Devoted to Charity.

Mary Elizabeth Giles, wife of Jona-
than Godfrey and one Of the most
prominent women of the community,
died suddenly at her home, 1.-The
Oaks in Brooklayn park, this morn
ing after short illness. Word of the
death of Mrs. Godfrey, who within a
week had appeared in social gather
ings, seemingly in the best of health,
was learned with distinct shock
throughout the city today.
Mrs. Godfrey was born in Kings
bridge, NJ Y, May 80, 1857, the
daughter of William Ogden Giles and
Mary Beers Curtis Giles.
Her father was one of the best
known real estate men of New York
city and her brother,Lewis Curtis Giles
OF Stamford, who survives her, is like
wise one Of the leading real estate
men of the metropolis. Mrs. Godfrey
was a cousin of the late Mrs. George
Mccullough Miller of New York, VIII ose
husband also was world figure in
real estate. The Marquise DeTalley-
rand Perigord of Paris and Princess
Poggio Suaso Ruspoli, of Rome, Italy,
are first cousins to Mrs. Godfrey.
Through her Revolutionary ances-
try, the prominence Of her family and
her husband, Mrs. Godfrey was a
leader in society Of the community
where she had resided so many years.
She was an organizer, past presi-
dent, and director Of the Wednesday
Afternoon Musical club. She was also
greatly Interested in Red Cross work,
and was member of the Fairfield
Red Cross society as we'll as the Sur
gical Dressing committee of this city.
1t was due chiefly to her efforts that
an ambulance was purchased, fitted
out and sent to the front in Italy a
year ago. She was also instrumental
in sending many supplies to the SOL
diers at the front in France. She was
also a hereditary member of the
Society of Colonial Danes.
At one time Mrs. Godfrey was pres
ident Of the Bridgeport Protestant
Orphan Asylum and she was also very
active in the affairs of the Brooklawn
Country club. Through her hus-
bands connection with the Univers-
ity club, Mrs Godfrey was always one
Of the leaders in social affairs connect
ed with that organization. One of
her last appearances in public was at
the meeting a week ago last evening
of the Contemporary club at the resi-
dence of Justice and Mrs. George w.
Wheeler. Mrs. Godfrey was one Of
the most interested members Of this
literary club.
Since removing to their beautiful
new residence, 'The Oaks about
two years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey
have entertained extensively. Mrs.
Godfrey was known for her charm
and graciousness which distinguish
ed her as a hostess. iShe will leave
place in the social and charitable
affairs of the city which cannot filled.
The funeral services will be held
at her late residence at 1880 on Mon
day afternoon.
"A dance and dinner had been ar
ranged for this evening at the Brook
lawn club, and as a token Of respect
to Mrs. Godfrey the dance will not be
held. The dinner part of the pro-
gram will be carried out.

harvard SCORES
FIRST BY GOAL
FROM The FIELD
CONTINUED from Page y

lHarvards 20 yard line.
On the next play Casey made stab
through Yale's left side, and raced 80
yards down the field to Yale's goal.
The play was declared void because of
holding in Harvard's line which en-
forced a penalty Of Is yards on the
Crimson.
After Thatcher had been downed
without gain Horween punted to La
Roche on Harvard's AZ yard line. He
made no runback. LeGore made two
yards Neville started a forward pass
which three Harvard players blocked.
The ball went back to Harvard's 40
yard line. Neville failed on a try for
a field goal. The ball was placed on
Harvard's 20 yard line renewing play.
Harvard moved it forward two yards.
Casey added six by a twisting dash.
Horween made first down at the
81 yard line. Harte raced from right
end around the left end being downed
by Jacques on the same scrimmage
line. Horween's punt fell dead on
Yale's % yard line, where Yale lined
up.
LeGore gained two yards against
Captain Dadmun The next play was
smothered quickly. LeGore punted to
Harvard's % yard line. The ball hit
Casey and bounded off toward the
Harvard goal posts with Horween and
Comerford after it. Horween won
the sprint and downed the ball two
yards in front Of the crimson goal.
He kicked to LhRoche who made
fair catch on HSrvard's AZ yard line.
The ball was then set for a place
ment kick. LaFoche held the ball,
lComerford kicked. The ball hit the
east post and bounded back. No goal.
A foot would have given the ball
fair way for Yale's desired three
points. Harvard then took the ball on
its 20 yard line. Casey's rushing at
tempt brought no gain. He made only
half q yard before Gates stopped him
again. Horween punted to midf1eld
where LaRoche was tackled instanter
by Coolidge. LeGore was thrown back
on his rush against Wheeler. LeGore
then tossed the ball far down the field
where Robinson and Horween broke
up the play, Wiggin went to center
for Harvard, Harris retiring.
On LeGore's kick the ball rolled over

Why Courtesy Pays

The winner of the contest on Why I
Think 1t Pays to Be Courteous in the
American magazine tells the fol-
lowing instance where courtesy paid big
dividend.
"a woman came into the bank quite
early $50, an hour and half before
the opening hour, 10 o'clock. She said
that she was in great trouble, and had to
get some money from her account i'm
medately as she was obliged to leave for
the south at once. She showed me tele-
gram announcing the death of her son by
a gunshot wound received in Texas.
condoled with her and had her waited
the station secured her tickets etc. AS
the railroad station was only a block
from the bank I had ample time to at
tend to these details. She thanked me
with tears in her eyes, I returned to the
bank and dismissed the matter from my
mind.
about six weeks afterward, a lady
CARRIED in mourning approached my desk
wished me a pleasant good morning and
said, You don't remember me, do you?
replied in the negative. She explained
that it was she whom I had accompanied
to the train. She told me she had realized
on the accident and life insurance poll
cies of her late son, and though she was
offered by bank in Texas one and one
half per cent more interest on her funds
than we paid, she preferred to deposit
them in the bank in Chicago where thu
employees were courteous to her in her
hour Of bereavement and trouble"
