CURTAIN IS RAISED ON LATTER LIFE ELIZA FENWICK Wonderful Woman of Nine teenth Century Has Life History Brought to Light Toronto, Ont,, Jan, 8.--In view of some correspondence in The Times Literary Supplement on "The Fate of the Fenwicks" -- a book published hy A. F. Wedd, of Lon- don, in 1927--people in the Niag- ara peninsula and in this city may remember faint echoes of a wond- erful and valiant old lady, The curtain seemed to have fallen abruptly on her family's fortunes in 1828. But Mr. Wedd has, through gome remarkable scenes of coinci- dences, discovered' the actual son and dauchter of little Elizabeth Rutherford (daughter of Eliza Fen- wick), who is described in Letter 76, as dancing so faultlessly, in her "satin trowsers'" and muslin skirt, at the pupils' ball in Barbados, in 1821; "and I am at last able to relate what was the ultimate "fate" --tragic to the end -- of old Mrs. Fenwick and her four orphan grandchildren.

Mrs, Fenwick soon abandoned the New York boarding-house, her last recorded venture, and went to Niag- ara, where she opened a girls' school, This, of course, 'proved in- sufficient for the support of the family'; and she moved to Toronto to take charge of a boarding-school for junior students at the college. Here, about the year 1834, her two elder grandsons, 'fine, clever, prom- {sing youths' were both drowned in the lake. Roland, the youneest of the Rutheford children, remain- ed delicate ana not very bright, and his grandmother decided that an open-air life was desirable for him, Being, it would seem, for once in' possesion of a considerable snm of money, she bought a farm for him, and put him under the care of a farmer to study agriculture. To her immense disgust the lad, still only nineteen, married the farmer's daughter, who was considerably older than himself and, in Mrs, Fenwick's opinion, not at all his so- cial equal. This final blow, which seems such a very slight nrisfor- tune when compared with che real tracedies through which sne had lived undaunted, proved too much for the hitherto .aliant lady's en- durance. Her spirit of couraze and ent rprigse was at last auenrched and she retired with her granddaughter to the home of some generous friends who possessed a heautiful | Special) Tomorrow 16 Winter Coats Go on Sale for of the smartest styles and best quality materials. real bargain °1 S95 Regular Values up to $39.50 Many of the models are richly trimmed with big luxuriant fur collars.

Elizabeth Rutherford, when bereft of her last relative --- for all communication with Roland seems to have ceaged-- went as a missionary to West Afri- ea, in a party organiz:q4 by a Dr. Savage, whom she subsequently married, She is described by her daughter as bavirg heen a 'very lovely, saintly woman.'
