Miss Russell in connection with
the tender intimacies of domestic
life; for, beyond what is usually
given to unmarried women, it was
her privilege to live most deeply
in those sacred relations, and not
for a part but for all of her tran

she returned with filial devotion
the tenderness of her parents, and
as an only sister she was held in
an ever-deepening affection by her
brothers and their families. Espe

youngest brother and herself re
markable. and their home-life to

theme for the skilled units of ro

comfort and beauty. Happy weeks
were those for her as she gathered
together her household treasures,
furniture and books and pictures,
