Mrs. Mallon Critically Ill.

New York, Dec. 27.—Mrs. Isabel Mallon, the writer, is critically ill from pneumonia at her home in this city. Her physician last night said he feared she had but a few hours to live. Mrs. Mallon has been confined to her bed two weeks. In October her mother, who was her inseparable companion, died after a lingering illness. The shock was a severe one to Mrs. Mallon, and for several weeks she was confined to her bed with nervous prostration. As the writer of "Bab's Babble" Mrs. Mallon gained a national reputation. She wrote these letters year after year until a short time ago, and they were always bright, entertaining and clever. She has also written extensively for the Ladies' Home Journal. She recently completed a book, not yet published, entitled "The Business Girl."
