It was all quiet out in Iowa yesterday, according to Atlanta Constance Sampson, who misses New York but isn't ambulatory enough to live here anymore. Ms. Sampson is a 91-year-old artist who just moved back home to Toeterville, thereby raising the town's population to 71. She left her paintings and watercolors behind, however, a lifetime's work, and next month she is to have her first one-woman show here - her first show anywhere, for that matter.

Mrs. D. D. Lione, who has been in poor health for some time, passed away Monday evening at 7:30 at the hospital in Austin, where she had been for about three weeks.
