MYRA KELLEY.

Readers of American magazines will be very sorry to hear of the death of Miss Myra Kelley, the lady who for years contributed to "M'Clure's Magazine" a series of_ whimsical stories of life among the foreign children in the American schools, stories which were written with a lively huniour and sympathetic appreciation of tho childish mind. These were afterwards published in book form, under the name "Little Citizens."

Myra Kelley died at Torquay in England, where she had gone for her health. She was born in Dublin, came to America while young, taught in the New lork schools, and there became acquainted with the dialects of the little foreign children, which she reproduced so attractively ill her tales. When she began to write for publication, she 6ent her first sketch to two magazines at the same time, so unlikely did she think it that either' would accept it. Both of them jumped at it, and trouble followed, since neither editor was willing to give it up. In 1905 Miss Kelley married Allan Macnaughten.
