DIED ALONE CYNTHIA STOCKLEY, at the

height of her fame as a writer of popular novels, solved for others many human problems in print. Fame dwindled: At the age of fifty- eight a problem of her own defeated her.

She was found dead in a gas-filled room of her flat in Pembridge-crescent, W., this month. A length of rubber tubing led from a gas bracket

to her mouth.

Cooked Her Own Moals

Her books were not selling well. She had not published a novel for two years.

Miss Stockdey (Mrs. Pelham-Browne) had lived in her flat for a month and e-half. She cooked her own meals and did her own washing.

She rarely went out.

On Tuesday night she went up to her flat carrying three large books. Early yesterday, says a London correspondent Mrs. Thomas, her
