Feb. 11 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —''Diana of the Dunes" is to be buried quietly and j ■ horribly respectably’’ late today from a little undertaking parlor in • tie sooty city of Gary. Her last wish —that her body be cremated and the ashes scattered from Mount Tom. in the sandy hills of the dunes ■die loved will be unfilled. "No money." Pau! Wilson said today. ‘‘Diana." realty Mrs. Alice Gray Wilson, college student and graduHe who shook off the shackles of •onventionality nine years ago am! went to live in the shifting sands which border the southern end of Lake Michigan, is to be buried by wo relatives, a brother and sister. Wilson frankly idniits that he is too poor to carry out the wishes of the girl whom he wedded five years ago Cremation is expensive. And Wil ion's life as a fisherman made it impossible for him to amass much worldly wealth. “Biana's” body, brought from Wilson's shack, now rests in the undertaker parlor here. The service today will be witnessed by only her busband and relatives in attendance. The relatives felt that their grief is their own. They remember the girl who won Phi Beta Kappa honors at ‘he University of Chicago, the ■math" honor student of 1916. And they arc trying to forget the lass who startled dunes visitors by diving into Iho moonlit lake clothed only as nature garbed her. Paul Wilson remained in seclusion cstserday. A mile and a half from the nearest road in his shack, sheltered by fire, he mourned alone. Before him was the icy expanse of the shore, piled high with frozen foam. And beside the hut was a half finished motor boat. In this boat “Diana" and Paul were o have cast loose from their envir onment in the spring. The dunes were getting too populous. Artists and campers hud invaded their sacred rysting place. So they had planned io float down the Illinois river to the Mississippi, to the Gulf of Mexico aud thence to a distant shore of a river in Texas. In the spring Paul ,v4H make the trip alone. ■ — o HOSPITAL NOTES A boy baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. David Ritter, of 506 Patterson street, at the Adams County Memorial hospital last night.
