NATION ADMIRED
HER FORTITUDE

Immediately messages ~ rymp8
thy and hope Tor "a rapid recovery.
began pouring tn from ali parts Of
the country,
Tho nation which 30 admired tho
fortituds with which Mrs. Harding
bore up under tho many dramatic
chapters o. her career as first lady
% tho land was quick 20 send words
q good cheer 10 her bedside.
Probably no other woman In the
history OF American national life
ever held 80 securely tho admiration
OF tho country as did Mr.. Harding
Reports o. her last illness drew
almost the same universal interest
az those during tho attack shs sur.
fered two years ago In Washington.
Behind the tragedy Of her death
y tho story Of a brave but losing
fight against tho malhdy which. Dc.
spite tho most skillful attention, had
rcnppcarcd In viruleut form az critl,
cal times In Mrs. HardIngs life for
The last 20 years
It's first appearance IN serious
form interrupted for a time tho idyl.
lie business partnership which the
I HardlngB had formed on tho Marion
Star. II was in the days when War.
rem Harding was his own editor. re-,
porter and business manager that ill
ness forced Mrs. Harding TO give up
her place on the paper as manager
OF circulation.
Later. in the White House. her
life was all but despaired or when
she finally recovered Il was made
plain 10 her that another serious
attack in all probability would be
tho last.
But In n few weeks. apparently
without giving thought TO her own
health. Ars. Harding undertook 10
accompany the president on his
Alaskan trip which ended IN hg
death in San Francisco.
