Although she was always "Old Jane" to the six children of the late Mr. T. H. Cocke, of Hampstead, to whom she was nurse, her real name was Miss Mary Pritchard.

Years ago Old Jane received an offer of marriage. She accepted and n dute was fixed,

Her trousseau was all ready, bul at the last moment she could not bring herself to leave "her children." So her wedding plans were can- celled and she remained to see her charges grow from childhood, marry and go out into the world.
