a few days ago at the family home

of illness. She was a sufferer from
a form of tuberculosis, which resisted

her passing to the Great Beyond. She
lived up to high ideals as a perform

short of perfection in whatever she
attempted. being ambitious far in en-
cess of her physical strength. She
was a capable singer, dancer and
sketch artist. and was one of the most
promising of the younger set of the
musical and dramatic fraternity. She
had a lovable disposition and enjoyed
the affection of a host of friends here
and wherever she cast her lot for
any period The passing of Mrs
/ Scott is distinct loss to the profes'

sympathy of the entire theatrical
