'DEATH ENDS
.SHORT ROMANCE
T. C. Duke, Husband of Former
Blakely Girl, Died Saturday.
Atlanta, Ga. —Three months ago, as
a nurse at the Wesley Memorial
Hospital, Miss Nell Lee, of Blakely,
Ga., helped save the life of a des
perately stricken patient.
But Saturday, as his wife, all her
skill and devotion, linked with that
of physicians and hospital staff, was
of no avail against a second visita
tion of the malady, and she became
a widow before the jteriod of her
hoflfeymoon was over.
The other figure in this romance
was Thomas C. Duke, a widely
known Atlantan who- was associated
with his father in a prosperous busi
ness in plumbing and heating sup
plies. In December young Duke —he
was only 25 years old —was a patient
at Wesley Memorial Hospital, a suf
serer from a strange disease of the
blood. Miss Lee, a member of the
hospital staff, was assigned to the
case and in the quiet ward there de
veloped an attachment between the
young patient and his pretty nurse.
When he was declared well, he
pressed his suit, with the result
that he and Miss Lee were married
in January.
The first of last week an illness
of young Duke was diagnosed as due
to ah abscessed tooth, which was
lanced by dentists, jfr flow of blood
developed that, because of the condi
tion which brought about the previous
illness, could not be stanched. For
days the hemorrhage continued and
young Duke grew weaker. Saturday,
as a desperate resort, he was sent
to the hospital for a transfusion of
“blood. The measure was too late.
His strength had gone and he died
before the transfusion could be at
tempted.
Besides his bride, Mr. Duke leaves
his parents, Mr. and AVrs. T. W.
Duke, and a grandmother, Mrs. W.
C. Duk*.
OPERETTA NEXT
TUESDAY NIGHT
‘Mother Goose & Co." to Be Presented
by Music and Expression Pupils. . .
Who is it that does not love dear
old Mother Goose? When nurse
sings ‘‘Rock-a-bye Baby,” when teach
er says, ‘‘A dillar, a dollar, a ten
o’clock scholar, wbat makes you come
so soon?”; when daddy tells about
“the man in the moon came down too
soon;” you only know a few of Moth
er Goose’s rhymes.
On Tuesday night, April Bth, there
will be a most elaborate Mother Goose
operetta, “Mother Goose & Co." 50
children take part in the pageant und
ail of the most popular members of
Mother Goose’s family will be there
and will have a sure enough school
right in front of the Old Woman’s
House. Guess yon know what it
was the old woman and so many
children lived in! And the teacher
is none other than Jack Spratt. Os
course, you know how that is. Mrs.
Jack Spratt has much to say about
her husband’s work, as all wives do.
You may feel a little sorry for
Gertrude to have to wear a dunce
cap, but you'll laugh with old King
Cole and his Fiddlers, and you’ll be
glad you came.
The proceeds go to increase the
piano fund.
If you don't love pretty costumes,
pretty music and Mother Goose
rhymes, maybe you’ll be there because
you know the school needs a new
piano and want to help them buy it.
Admission, 25c to each person.
