"a TRIBUTE OF LOVE"

Mrs. Mary Pendleton Taylor is no
more; her departure was calm and
sweet as befit the passing of one so
gentle, yet so brave. She realized
that her going away would be sudden
yet she radiated sunshine and happi-
ness, loving and being loved as only
one so richly endowed by nature can
Mrs. Taylor was a woman of bril-
liant intellect, cultivated by years Of
devotion to the best in literature and
art. She was passionately fond of
music and her familiarity with the
classic and modern schools was
amazing.
Until her health became impaired
she was one of the leading lights of
the Woman's Club. Yet as wife,
mother, sister, neighbor, friend, was
the wealth Of that generous heart
avished in unstinted love. Her kind
ness of heart was proverbial, she was
never known to say an unkind word,
but smile and kind word from her
has often brought comfort and cour.
age to an aching heart.
She lives in the hearts of those
who loved her. wonderful
legacy she bequeathes to those she
leaves behind-iegacy of sunny
smiles, legacy of kind words, legacy
of noble deeds, legacy of tender and
thoughtful illustrations.

Owing to the increased cost Of
films and other expenses we are
forced to either use much cheaper
service, advance the price of ad-
mission or cloe ousr doors. Cheap
er films would be unsatisfactory to
everybody. So we have decided to
hold the service up and advance the
price of admission to 20 cents, eff
fective on and after December 23rd.
And If attendance does not justify

take the latter course, close our
