ing which time she bore her nfliction
patiently. She is survived by two
sisters, who faithfully did all human
hands could do for her through her
long period of illness. Sixty-four

has bit upon the plan Of building them
on the collapsible plan. Accordingly
when these tubs are in actual service
they will hold as much water as the
ordinary tub. whereas during the other
six days of the week they cannot by
any means be accused of taking up

knows what she WANTS and how she
wants 1t. She puts her finger with
swIftness and exactness upon flaws.

Mrs. Whitehouse was born In New

Mrs. Whitehouse became suffrage

the game fniriy to give men the vote
