burg who remember the smiling little girl,
then only L. years old, who gave them
help when they were sorely in need OF
assistance. From that time she has al
ways been identified with charities, much
to the delight Of her generous father. To
business men who called to see him he
would chuckle and toll what "his wee
Margaret" was doing for someone In
need.

himself TO thank he said at one time
when referring to his only child. Il
would as soon leave her curse as leave
her nothing but love for the almighty
dollar. The most miserable creatures are

tered the struggle she plunged more deep
ly into her service for other and in ad-
dition TO her local charitable activities
she became very busy in war work.
