Mrs. Mary f. Purple, a popul II eI"cu-
zionist. of Woodstock, gave readings at
the Town Hall on Thursday night, under
!, the auspices of the Literary Club. Her
, readings here on this and Il previous Oc
casion have made her very popular with
our people. and she may be justly clasSeC
| among the first artists. Her reading of
..Pemberton Mills" the horrors of which
are well remembered by many Of her
hearers, was very pathetic. and bathed
the audience in tears, while the render
inc of ..Rubenstein.' The Brakeman's
, Church, The Boys Composition on the
. Hen" and other pieces carried the feel
iugS of the audience to the other extreme.
> At one moment many were weeping, and
at the next they were borne on the buoy
ant wings of humOr, such were her sud-
den transitions, from the pathetic to the
humorous and from the humorous to the
pathetic during her two hours entertain
ment.

forth without any warning on a bright,
sun-shuy day. He was sitting in the
