saw that everyone was well taken
care of.
The most of these people said
they were glad that they came;
when they left they had learned a
great deal worth learning. They
had seen something worth coming
to see. Were YOU one Of them?
II not, we want to say right now,
for your benefit as well as for those
who failed to see our last an

few days left for the tardy ones.
The time of the exhibition Is linn
tied; there are many hundreds of
people waiting elsewhere to see it.
This is positively the last week

are lots of people yet who want to
see it and expect to see it, but are
putting it off from day to day un-
til something happens that will
prevent them from coming at all
These people will probably never
realize how much they have missed
