The floral tokens of respect to
Mrs. Hardenbergh came from
friends both far and near. Tele-
grams to the leading florists of New
York, Philadelphia, from distant
friends for appropriate symbols of
affection brought profusion of
beautiful flowers, and this with the
magnificent offering of friends in
Honesdale, White Mills, Hawley and
other nearby places showed the high
appreciation the lady was held in
by her many friends who for years
sympathized with her in her afflic-
tion and who loved her for her true
womanly qualities.
A test was made last Sunday
in the Presbyterian church of an in
strument which enables those whose
hearing is defective to hear very
plainly. The main transmitter was
placed on the pulpit so that the Rev
Swifts voice was taken up and
transmitted same as in a telephone
to those in the pews who had re-
ceivcrs which they applied to their
ears and thus many whose hearing
was imperfect were enabled to hear
distinctly every word that was spok-
en- by the preacher There were
about ten receivers installed and
used to the satisfaction of the
users.
TO remember mother, to show
honor to her who is the best below
ed the world over, the white carna-
tion, emblem of purity, will be worn
by the people of the nation next
Sunday Mothers Day. Growing
out of the devotion of one woman
who set aside the day on which her
mother died to be an occasion each
year consecrated to the memory of
the departed loved one, the observ-
ance of Mothers Day has spread
with such rapidity that the second
Sunday in May of last year, the first
anniversary of Mothers Day, found
nation kneeling at the shrine of
mother-love. Mothers Day was first
observed on the second Sunday in
May, 1908. The public is asked to
wear a white carnation to properly
observe this day. If mother is liv-
ing, wear the carnation, but also
sit down and write the good, old
soul kind letter, full of the af-
fection that you surely have for her
but have been too busy to tell her
about very often. She will appre-
ciate it more than all the carnations
worn on succeeding Mothers Days
or piled above the coffin lid over her
thin, worn hands. The way to OBJ
serve Mothers Day in spirit and
truth is to keep in close touch with
her as long as she lives, and assure
her constantly of your affection and
regard. Later, when under the
daisies, she won't need it,
