nine a day. After marrying Dr John Burrus Fearn, who had come out from America to take charge of the Men's Hospital which was conducted by the missionary society for whom she worked, she came to Shanghai, a children's wing having been built by her on the Soochow Hospital and a vocational school for waifs and strays" having been instituted shortly before her departure. She also established the first ce-educational medical school in China through which much was done to overcome the Chinese distrust of the foreigner.
In Shanghai she not only donated her services to the Margaret Williamson Clinic but quickly became known the city's leading hostess. Eventually she opened her own hospital the unique Fearn Sanatonum, which although one of the smallest hospitals in the world, was also one of the most perfectly appointed and run on extravagant lines, the patients eating from sterling silver trays while their callers were served with cocktails.
Through all her years in China Dr. Fearn worked close to the Chinese against a background of ever-changing conditions. She came into contact with all classes of society, social leaders, diplomats, bandits, business men, coolies and high officials, all of whom became her friends. She mingled with them indiscriminately and successfully. She witnessed the revolution of 1911, lived through the apxfous days of the rebellion in 197$, and watched the White Russian invasion after the war as well as seeing at first hand the fighting in 1927\and the Sino-Japanese hostilities of 1932.
