New England Women. She had that dig

science as sensitive as a child. Her life
was her confession of faith.
For the past six months, since she
was stricken with paralysis, she seemed
to long for quietude with her family and
intimate friends The words of Tenny-
son seem appropriate:
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
And let there be no moaning of the bar
