Educated at Miss Orton and Nicholls School and then at Miss Mary Johnstone's Whitney Avenue School; studied piano with Miss Virginia John- stone, playing at several of her recitals. A good horsewoman, both in the saddle and on the box. At age of ten she was taking "fancy dancing" with Prof. Loomis.

During one winter in Dresden, Germany, Miss Maltby played the lead- ing role in an amateur play given at the Caryest theatre there. She was an early member of the Mary Clapp Worcester Chapter, D.A.R., the Alliance Francaise of Yale, and of a small group--a Spanish club. In 1906, my sister and mother went with me to California.

She was a member of the North Vancouver Country Club, the Red Cross; president one year of the Victorian Order of Nurses--acting member of the Vancouver Little Theatre, and a member of the Vancouver branch of Canadian Authors.
From the time she was a young girl she had considerable success with both prose and poetry. One of her short stories appeared in "Smart Set" and her poems in various publication. Her death occurred Sept. 26, 1952, at North Vancouver--a long life of beautiful self-sacrificing work for others.
