The Wingham Advance, 1923-12-06, Page 5Thursday, Dec. firth„ r923, ai ■ ■ ■ 1 THE WINC.iIIA,M ADV FINE .SRT EXHIBIT Miss E. M. Mulvey Opens Studio in Stratford The many friends of Miss E. M. Mul- vey will be interested to learn that she has opened up a:studio in Strat- ford. That she is likely to make good in her new undertaking is likely if the reception with which she is received` is any testimony, The following from. the Stratford Beacon Herald speaks for itself: "An afternoon. that proved uniqua in Stratford and that proved „post interesting to a number of men and Ncr IN women in the city was that spent. Saturday at the art studio at 5 Dong - las street, which is being opened up by Miss E. M. Mulvey, Miss Mulvey, who has gamed a splendid reputation as an artist, came originally from the town of Wingiiam Of recent years, slie has been" study- ing and teaching in. Chicago„ She has cometo Stratford believing that there is a fertile field here for her work. Though handi'eappedby a lack of time, Miss Mulvey had a fine exhibit. to show her visitors, ranging from oil work to most exquisite china paint- Though Miss Mulvey said she did riot do a great deal in oils, there was one odd' piece at the statics that; at- tracted considerable attention., This was a floor lamp shade, made of, parchment upon which theartist had blended an interesting combination in oils. Around the walls were five or six pictures in water color, which show- ed Miss Mulvey's liking for nature studies, one scene depicting Captain Streeter's famous shanty near Lin- coln Park in Chicago being especially attractive, In this connection,' there was a bit of p9rtrait and which seem- ed to, take the fancy of nearly every visitor present. There was more variety to the ex- hibit_of china. Amazement was ex pressed at Miss Mulvey's ability to copy the well known. Crown Derby design and it well-nigh required an expert to label it a copy The rest of the china work had to be seen to be. appreciated. Descrip- tion beggars it. Suffice it to say' that MMM Miss Mulvey's -guests lingered at the tables which held the display and the questions' -which poured out showed the interest taken in it by those who saw.. Something new to Stratford was. tinting done on natural _ leaves and foliage.- A collection of this make a striking, epergne in the midst of the showing of china. The Stratford Beacon -Herald was informed that the tints could not be obtained in Canada at present, - but that the work might become popular in this` country in the. near future. From comments made on Saturday, it is a foregone conclusion that Miss. Mulvey will be .cordially and enthus- iastically welcomed in Stratford." 1 ■ ■ Being'c verstocked In many.lines of Merchandise and for"Quick -Sale" we have opened up a Department ori our,Second Floor'where will find OnSale ■ ▪ you .• Furs of all kinds priced regardless of costa ,,Ladies" Coats, Girls' Coats,Dress Goods C® ■. • , Stings, Hosiery, Groves, IOM Corsets,Sweaters, Wool , Caps, Carets, Rugs, Boots and Shoes ■ and other lines of 'desirable mere ■ . ■ .: hit�ltiSe St Itrice$ cut in two t0 ; ■ clear out.

Died in Listowel On Tuesday last, Nov. 20, Li Sias called a.. :, _. ca upon-ro-mourn the roes` of one of her early citizens and one who was helds in highest esteem through- out the entire community in the per- son of Mr. E, ::Bassett. here deceased gentleman, who was in his sixty-third year, had been in failing health for over the: year, suffering from a linger-. ing inward trouble. For the past month he had been bedfast. Despite all that coulee be done for him he gradually grew weaker until the great call cane. The late Mr. Bassett was born in'Bridewater, England, in. 1861. In 1881 he' came to Canada anad.set-' tled in Listowel and has resided there ever since. For many 'years he was employed at the G. T, R. station. Lat- er he conducted a bus and draying,. business and ' his kindly disposition and obliging nature won for.him many warm friends, not- alone in Listowel but among the general 'travelling pub- lic. About eight years ago he sold his business since which time he has lived retired, having also sold his farm in Wallace, .In 1886 the late Mr. Bassett was married to Miss Jane Ann Tindall and to them were born two daughters, Mrs. W. H. Sproule, Guelph, and Miss Ida Bassett, at home, and two sons. Both sons, Joseph and Sidney, enlisted in the Ca- nadian Expeditionary Forces, and made the supreme sacrifice. Capt. Joseph, Basset died while a prisoner Germany, and Sidney was killed in; battle in France. Hisbereaved widow two daughters, and son "Jackie" at home are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father,. and to them is extended sincere sym- pathy in their hour of sorrow. Three brothers and one sister, living in Eng land, , also survive: The funeral, Which was in, charge of the Listowel lodge L 0. O. R,, was held on y . Thurs- day afternoon, with interment at • Fairview cemetery. Rev, E .'VV Ed- wards, pastor of the Methodist church, condueted the funeral pervious* Listowel Standard.

Mi - MONY CAULD, A FEW TOASTED I note in your Iast week's edition, Our Poet was :doing some guessing: As to who would be' Mayor, And sit in the chair, And who would wak with thepro- . cession: • I, myself do not care to predict, As ta who will .most likely be licked Yet, I fear, of the few, The electors eschew, Will be some whom they ought to have picked. Now most all of our candidates cry, "We will jam down the tax rate, or die We've no money to spend, So we cannot unbend, And to ask for more money we're shy. But the town with low tax rate is dead, Most repeatedly this I have said, But you folks willnot see, Just how things ought to be, Your, content with a town thats a shed. Your ambitions' are low, very low, And your pace, is exceedingly slow; You need men: who are pushful, Who'd dare to be useful, Do something of which we could crow Now, we can't make a town without. LM'J c'e'll' v"ut a reO 7t'.Lab]' -dash • - Y Yet cash we have got, Which is threatened with rot, Pray don't think this averment is rash. So to a high star let us hitch, Our waggon meantime in the ditch; We'll prosper and thrive, Like beespitch. i.n a hive, If more cash to the Council we'll If we want to see Wingharn grow. great, If we wanto maintain its birth rate;' Have a nice little place, All beauty and grace, Its lean coffers well have to inflate. So awaywith the sloggan "go slow" We ase going to give Wingham a show: Though tight -wads may wince, We will yet thein convince, That the rates that look high are not so. J, G. Webster.
