164 For many years Mrs. Shorter was President of the Ladies' College Aid Society of Wilberforce University, and did much, in a quiet, unostentatious way, to help worthy students through school. She is the author of a work entitled "Heroines of African Methodism."

She is a real "doer," and not merely a hearer and talker. She is a very modest creature, and therefore much of the writing that has dropped from her pen has never reached public print.

She now edits a corner in Ringwood’s Afro-American Journal of Fashion for the especial benefit of our girls.
