Upon the held of carnaze, Your eyes were forced to look, While other girls were reading From some more pleasing book. Beside the beds of suffering, Eager to heal, you stood: You shrank not from the horror, Strove only to do good: Abt many a wrinkled soldier Whose life you helped to save Speaks of the girl who nursed him As the bravest of the brave Still by the sick and suffering Your place is over found, Bringing back health and courage, And heating many a wound.

Her likeness has never appeared in print but once, and that only after long and urgent persuasion on the part of the magazine to which all her work, both literary and artistic, is, by contract, pledged and which was then publishing an illustrated article upon its contributors. Since that time Mrs. Foote has been obdurate to all appeals for her portrait, although she is besieged from every quarter. Mrs.

Foote's work has confined itself almost wholly to illustration in black and white, and one of the greatest compliments ever paid ber was that "she produced better color effects with pencil than many artists do with a brush. MRS. JOHN DE KOVEN. KOVEN..
