once in the business, and not
finding it sustaining, there wai a
constant temptation to dishonest
practices under which many a

paper in New York, who attributed them
to "Bertha M. Clay," a fictitious name

knowledge of the author. Mrs. Braeme
died in 1883, but so popular had thesto
ries of "Bertha M Clay become that the

of writers to furnish similar stones, all
attributed to "Bertha M. Clay," and thus
have kept the name before their readers
