ENTITLED TO HoNoRs.

The Smart Set" is really entitled to
high honors than belong to a musical
comedy of the ordinary kind, inasmuch
as its musical features which are of
paramount interest, have the true OPP
cratic ring about them. at the same
time possessing all the essential char
aeteristics of the popular melodies. An
other reason why this landslide of
mirth and music should be isolated from
the average musical comedy proposition
is that the signers engaged in the
rendering of its charming music are
all of the class who appreciate the
value of true harmonies, and who also
know exactly what should constitute

MAY MISS CHARITY EVENT.

From present Indications the social
and entertainment season in Hammond
this year Will not be graced with a
charity event There does not seem
to be the same crying demand from
the poor of the city for help, and while
the charity committee, which gave sew
eral successful events last winter is
still organized, it does not look as
though it will be called upon to rise
to an emergency,
1t is rather with regret that many
see the season open and representing
such an exhaustive program, and yet
nothing on it for the sake of charity.
