Interested in Technical side.

The role of inventor is regarded by her
friends as a strange one to be assumed
by an actress who not so long ago was
known as the most popular star on the
American stage. But she has always
been interested in the technical side OF
the theater. particularly the matter OF
lighting. Soon after she recovered from
the breakdown In health that she suf-
fered three years ago she plunged into
the new work with vim.
While no definite announcement has
been made. 1t Is believed by Miss
Adams's acquaintances that she has
given up all thought of acting on the
stage again and that she will devote
the rest Of her life to promoting the new
lighting process,

RICHER THAN BEFORE.

We've had our share OF Sorrows
And we've had our time OF fear,
We have walked q sad tomorrows
But we've lived another year;
And IN spite Of all the grieving
And the burdens that we bore,
The old years truly leaving
Us all richer than before.
We are wiser now ard kinder
Than we were when 81 began.
We are just little binder
To the petty faulte Of man;
And when days Of trouble found us,
Sending sorrow 20 our dOCr,
To the friends who gathered round US
We are closer than before.
To the old and tried and true friend,
With the passing OF the year.
Came good and happy new friend
with his comfort and his cheer;
Though our fortune doesn't show Il
AS we run our bank book DER,
In many ways we know it.
We are richer than before.
We have memories to treasure
All unknown a year ago,
Little sparkling gems Of pleasure
Which forever We may know;
At the end OF December.
With the twelve months almsst DER
I'VE have much we shall remember
And we're richer than, before.

set down TO purely local pride. The

probably have it's fifty millions.
