C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1925. MOTHER OF LORD MAYOR QUIETLY VISITING IN U. S. Dignified Matron of Cork, Ireland, Does Not Believe in “Heralding Self With Trumpet.” By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 23.—Few of the eosmospolitan residents of a cer tain brick block on the West Side knew that the dignified, staid, gray-haired lady from the old country who was visiting in the old-fashioned two family house with the high front steps was the mother of the Lord Mayor of Cork. For Mrs. Ella French held that gen tility is marked by unobtrusiveness, and did not believe in heralding one self with a trumpet. “I have always livea quietly,” she said today, “not mingling much with the world. 1 had not supposed my presence in this city was known to any one but those of my own family. I have daughters in this country, but they might not wish me to name them without their permission. We are very quiet folk.” f s > | I Tuesday you can get a s SO Sheldon Overcoat for $ 37 50 The makers of Sheldon Overcoats went out of their way to give us something very special for our new building opening.

First Floor. The Hecht CoF Street I . Mrs. French has been visiting a daughter in Coffeyville, Kans., Mrs. John Ridgway. And while Mrs. French was keeping her presence a secret from the city she was cherishing another secret from her own household. None but the daughter in Coffeyville knew that she was beginning to write her me moirs. She hesitated to tell the others, lest they “fancy their mother is go ing crazy in her latter years.” Impressed by the new things in America, and not least by the high prices and relatively lavish scale of living, Mrs. French began first to write of them for her friends at home. It then occurred to her to tell of things she had seen earlier in life. A desire to do something on her own j account, to expand an Irish income to meet American demands, provided an incentive. Hut before she goes fariher, she waits the verdict of her daughters, who know American ways better than she. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth ap prentices in London were obliged to wear blue cloaks in Summer and blue gowns in Winter. ' MINISTER’S WIFE DIES. Mrs. George Q.
