Mrs. Donnell is a person in whom the soul of existence seems to be to make those around her comfortable. She has been a mother's best substitute for at least one of her deceased sister's orphan children, besides being the author of many other little domestic and neighborly schemes which have resulted in making her friends and relatives happy. ...
