STATE ST., CHICAGO Phone CENTRAL 7915 of Mr. Smith's sister, was born in the old Smith homestead, and then Potter Palmer purchased it as the site of the Wabash avenue portion of his hotel. The Rice corner, with the store and office building subsequently erected, remained in the possession of Mrs. Smith and her sisters. No woman was more widely known in the highest social circles and philanthropies than Mrs. Smith. Prob- ably no philanthropic movement of any magnitude was ever launched that did not include her as a contributing patron or officer. St. Luke's, the County hospital, Maurice Porter hos- pital and many others will miss her cooperation keenly. In the early '80's, Mrs. Smith was one of the founders of the Illinois Training (School for Nurses, of which Mrs. Ira Couch Wood is president. Mrs. Smith was the treasurer for the several years preceding her death. Mrs. Henry Reilly, Winnetka, was a niece of Mrs. Smith. Another niece was married to Bertram Winston, brother of Mrs. Victor Elting. EE PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. Philip S. Post, 475 Maple avenue, left this week for Wash- ington, D. C.
