SISTERS FACE
|. LIFE SUNSET
TOGETHER
IN 5. A.
Illness Fails to Part Two
Women, 70 and II, Be-
cause Of Undying Love.
By BESS CARROLL

Because their journey through 10
years has always led them together
over the same path, two sisters are
lying side by side in San Antonio
hospital.
When one sister was stricken, the
other insisted on being sent 30 the
hospital, too.
An epic Of siste-love lies in the life
long devotion Of Laura and Mary
Order, San Antonio pioneers.
For the love that sent Romeo into
death with Juliet-love like that of
Damon and Pythias, or the depth OF
mother love-could not be stronger
than this devotion that dared sickness
and death to sever the bond Of two
lives.
When Miss Mary Crider recently
became so i'll that she had to be sent
to the hospital, her sister refused to
let her go alone. And so, though
Miss Laura was not i'll, she went to
share the little white hospital room
where her sister lay.
PAIR NEAR so MARK.
And now Miss Laura is i'll, too
perhaps because through So many
years the two sisters have been as one;
sharing the same joys and griefs, hv-
ing their days alike, thinking with
the same mind and loving with the
same boundlesS devotion.

Antonio from Maryland. 20 years ago.

that skirted a queer little town named

grew up together. Changes came-the
roadways became thoroughfares, the
wilderness around was tanned. But
as new things replaced old things and
the town of San Antonio became a
city, one thing remained unchanged
the love Of Laura and Mary.
LOVE UNCHANGING.
They were bellies at the same time
in old San Antonio, and the two pref
ty young women dreamed their TO-
mantle day-dreams together while the
Civil War ragged m the South. But
9 though suitors freouented the "parlor"
where the Misses Order held court.
Laura and Mary loved each other too
+, well to separate for homes Of their
own.
They no longer share dreams-ex-
cept the wish to live and die together.
For 80 years they have shared the
o same room. living by themselves most
of the time. Miss Laura taught

The elephant drive Is on again.
The campaign among San Antonio
children TO help raise funds to buy the
two elephants for the Breckenridge
Park ZOO which got away to such
good start last summer, has been start
ed again and will be carried through
until the money is raised.
San Antonio schools will pick up
where they left off in the contest to
win the coveted prizes offered and
many more which are to be offered.
Already. the Emerson school has
won the S35 silver loving cup and
Fannin school is winner of the Egypt
ian table lamp.
In the meantime school officials are
looking about to sec what the schools
need most, so prizes which are to be
offered will be of the most value to
the winning schools.
TEN CENTS PER VOTE.
Everybody remembers about the
elephant contest. Last summer two
elephants were placed in the park
for temporary housing. Like the
school children in Houston who bought
two elephants for the Houston ZOO,
school children here are to help buy
the park elephants for San Antonio.
Every ten cents given to the ele-
plant fund is good for a vote and
San Antonio schools are in a contest
to get the most votes.

test, will go a special prize, to be
