Brave Girl Student.

Apropos of brave and successful student girls an Auburn lady justly thinks her classmate at Wellesley takes the lead. Left to her own resources at the age of 12 years, she refused to eat the bread of dependence offered by friends, and determined not only to support but to educate herself. After saving all she could from her earnings at housework, she went to a nice but inexpensive school for girls In Maryland, and was fitted for Wellesley there. At Wellesly she won a scholarship, and took a special course of two years. She earned what money she needed by doing anything from sweeping the girls’ rooms to teaching. Next she entered Boston University to study medicine, paying her own expenses there by teaching in the evening schools of Boston, by doing microscopic work, etc. Her next move was a European trip, with a few to study in Paris and Vienna. To defray this expense she borrowed money. On her return she had the country before her, and choso to locate in Los Angeles. Since then she has paid off all debts, and is now receiving"? large Income from her practice in that city of Invalids.
