She is 26 years of age, quiet, modest and unassuming. Before entering the university she took a normal course at Ypsilanti. Her first case was one against the Michigan Central railroad company, which she won. The case has been appealed to the supreme court and the fair law practitioner will appear before that tribunal shortly in defense of this case.
