seen at The Kentucky next Thurs
day night. The play is the latest
work of the famous dramatist, Clyde
Fitch, who wrote "The Climbers, .
Nathan Hale" Beau Brummel, {"
Her own Way" and numerous 9TH
err popular successes. The plot of
THE Woman in the Case" concerns
society life in New York at the pres
ent time with thrillingly dramatic
story as background to throw 1t in
to relief. Mr.. Fitch has made all his
characters very real and involved
them in vital situations which ap-
peal with equal force to the gallery
patrons as they do to those of the
orchestra seats. Although II has
many sensational features, ''The
Woman in the Case" appeals to the
heart. The cast is notable one

Coffin Cooke, Grace st. Clair. Mary

IN MEMORlAM.

In the death of Mrs. Mary ].
Wright, on Thursday evening, Jan.
5, there ended the earthly existence
of one who had lived far beyond
the allotted three score and ten
years, but whose intellect was un
dimmed by the many years that
had been permitted her. Love of
life, of home, of her children, and of
flowers, made existence dear to h r,
and she chung gladly to life until
the last, feeling that she could yet
do good in the world. But the de-
crees of fate are memorable, and
when she realized that the death
angel was reckoning to her, it was
with no faltering, no fear, no regret
that she put her hand in His and
was led away. She was surrounded
in her last moments by all of her
six loving children except one,
whom she loved as only a mother
can love, and whom it was ever a
pleasure to serve. Verify, they shall
rise up and call her blessed. When
they speak that sweetest of all
words, Mother there will be no an
swering voice, but she will speak to
them in her deed, her example, her
life work, and her loving counsel.
Such lives as hers make the world
better, make homes happy. and
friendship something more than a
name.
Twilight let her dusky curtains down
AS death stole in so softly there;
He snapped the threads of life in twain.
Smoothed from her face each trace of
care.
And somehow it was known in heaven
By,loved ones that had gone before,
That the mother and wife so faithful
Was waiting out there by the door.
Then one whose face was radiant said,
THE records you need not see;
For STOPPING to raise the erring
She hath ministered unto me-"
For love she hath given her children.
For aid she hath given the poor;
Let angels sing the welcome chorus
As wide open you swing the door.
A FRIEND.
