She was an ardent member of the Woman's Club of Wanwatosa, and notwithstanding her burden of eighty-one years, her frail health and the trials of weather and distance, whenever it was possible she came to share in the work and pleasure of the Milwaukee Chapter.

And now her long life service is ended; the heart that loved her country as she did her home is stilled; but to those who knew her as one of our number, our "Real Daughter," there will always remain in close association with her name a profound reverence for the revolutionary heroes, the memory of whose self-sacrifice and devotion were her birthright—a birthright which she treasured with a reticent, noble pride; a heritage of unsullied patriotism.

The loss of such an one to the husband and daughter who survive her, no one but themselves can fully appreciate. It is the strong and reserved nature that holds most firmly, without weakening, the ties of love and friendship. Such ties being broken, to those left in their grief, life itself seems almost rent in twain.

To our fellow member, the sorrowing daughter, and to the bereft husband, the Milwaukee Chapter extends its most sincere and heartfelt sympathy.

We deeply deplore the loss to our Society, and we regret that our words do not more fully convey the sentiments of respect and admiration with which we shall always hold the memory of Mrs. Harriet Green Warren.

SUSAN MACINTIRE VINTON.—At the annual meeting of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, March 17, 1899, the following resolutions were adopted and ordered spread upon the records and a copy sent to Mr. Merrick Vinton, Mrs. Harriet Foster, and to the AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE:

WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father has called home from our midst one of our charter members who was our first Chapter Regent, and whose untiring efforts and unfailing faith in the principles of the Society have helped immeasurably to bring this Chapter up to its present strength; and

WHEREAS, The members of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter knew and loved Susan MacIntire Vinton as friend and associate member,

Resolved, That in her death we recognize the fact that this Chapter has sustained a serious loss. Her constant and unchanging friendship, her high-minded views and wise decisions, her singleness of purpose in all her dealings with those with whom she came in contact, all gave evidence of a character of such unusual nobility, strength and sweetness, which with the memory of her pure, lovable and unselfish nature can but be an inestimable influence for good, and an example for our emulation. We sorrow with her family in their loss, and our hearts go out to them in sympathy.

Resolved, That we extend to her relatives our deepest sympathy in their sad bereavement, and commend them to the comforting love of the Infinite One, who doeth all things well.

Resolved, That we send to her relatives a copy of these resolutions. and that they be inscribed on our Chapter records of the Society, and published in the city papers.
