 Her death came as a great shock to | neighbors, friends and even to the fam | fly who had entertained hopes and esg- l erly looked for her recovery from an | operation for appendicitis at the Backns | hospital ten days previous. But her strength gradually failed as other com->l plications developed, and she was un- able to rally from the weakened condi- ton incident to the operation.

 of friends, who sincerely regret and
 mourn her passing. There are perhaps

 arrange any social affair or gathering for
 her friends as opportunity offered | whether in her own home or in connec- | ton with the several organizations with which she was affiliated. Her untime- ly death, for we can not make 1t seem
