The passing of Mrs. Mary Ad-
kins Brown in Philadelphia on
Wednesday of last week has
brought to mind the many years

legacy she left to the town when

Edith Simpson said in her trib-
ute to Mrs. Brown. she felt the l
power and the magic of books as
placed in the hands of children !
and older people. and she want Z

be erected than the volumes of =
many interests that are now at S
the pleasure of all, the beginning {
of which came through the love, a
the interest and the vision of ),
this little person. I
