Of the endeavor on the part of the club

the evening, Major Hovey. Previous
to his address, Miss Ruth Barron sang

the customs, manners of the people,
their food, clothing, homes, pets, abil-
lty to learn, courage, their sports, laws
of the island, the physical contour of
the different islands, and many other
things of interest which were enjoyed
by all present. His address was very
hopeful one, and helped his auditors to
SEE HiUCIl dUVdIC0IIl0Ut since CTo re-
turn of State Superintendent Stone,
whose lecture on the same subject was
listened to here few years ago with
much interest. The Major answered
several questions which his listeners, in
response to his invitation, asked.
Major Hovey lays no claim to eloquence,
but he gave some facts which We're
better than eloquence, which helped us
to get a very clear understanding
Of affairs as they exist at the present
time among the Philippines. His wit
enlivened his remarks and kept his
audience in the best Of humor. Should
the Major come among us again he
would find most cordial welcome. AT
ter Major Hovey's remarks Mrs. ]. NJ
Blake sang "Swiss Echo song" and
later G. c. Baldwin sang He Was a
Prince, both of which were applauded.
Refreshments were then served, and
after social hour all went to their
homes feeling they had spent an enjoy
able and profitable evening. Much
credit is due Mrs. G.. c. Baldwin for
her untiring efforts in securing the
speaker, preparing the program and
looking after the details which resulted
in the success of the evening.
