She plans to make her home In Port land with her daughter and her grandchildren. Mrs. Martin was the recipient of a handsome chair presented by employes of the in stitution. Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, superin tendent, on receiving word of her resignation, sent her the follow ing note, which she prizes highly: "I regret to recetve your resig nation. After so many years of loyal, valuable service, tt seems too bad we must lose you. You will be missed by hundreds in this hospital, and I wish that your remaining years will be filled full of comfort and happiness." Mm (Sir eatest ClotM eg Sale . ' ' ' . ' . . .
