The Victorian girl, according to the
English authorities, was much better

her store of vital and nervous emerge

prising assertion seems to have made

where there is now strong move

Dr. ii. n. McCracken. president Of

complex. Victorian ladies have lately
had to endure more scornful pity from

Ruth, s., and Owen 21 months. were In
the store when their mother attempted
to drown their little sister and kill
herself.
Ruth's craving for a sandwich led to
the saving of the babys life and possibly
that of her mother, although at st.

mother and going to the bathroom found
her lying on the floor.
Ruth did not notice the baby lying
In the bathtub, but Mortified at the sight
of her mother she ran down stairs and
summoned her father.
Provisor found his wife and the baby
unconscious. Taking little Eleanor out
of the tub he held her up by the feet
and forced part of the water out OF
her lungs by shaking her violently. Then
she was removed to Passaic General

nervous and despondent since the birth
Of Eleanor and that she had remarked
on different occasions that she was
tired of swing and would welcome
