A COMMITTEE MEETING.

The largest and one of the most
profitable meetings ever held by the
history committee of the Hammond
Woman's Club was held at the palatial
home of Mrs. F. S. Betz in South Hob
man street. The days program was in
charge of Mrs. Nicholas Emmerling
who with her very able committee
made the afternoon one long to be re-
membered by all those present Miss
Virginia Brooks. who through her fear
lessness of public opinion is doing
much to rid West Hammond of its un-
desirable resorts and citizens and to
secure for the town better government
was una BILE to be present and address
the ladies as was anticipated. But at
some future date Ii is hoped we can
listen to her and give her our support
IL possible In her glorious work. If we
had more women like her in Hammond
the school board would not be building
the high schol in such an inaccessib.
locality as the future building is now
being planned.
The afternoons program was opened
by Miss Ferris who sang most sweet
~. My Maryland" accompanied by Mrs
Daniel Z. Boone on the guitar and both
responded most cordially to an encore
Mrs. Milo NJ. Bruce read a most inter-
eSI1ng paper on Early Maryland
which showed careful study and re-
search and was enjoyed by all. Mrs.
j. c. Graves told the story of The Star
Spangled Banner" in a charming man :
ner and after the singing of The Star
Spangled Banner" by the history quar-
tette the feeling of patriotism was
strong in the heart of each woman
present Mrs. Nicholas Emmerling
closed the program with one OF the
most delightful and original papers
ever read before the club members The
underlying thought In the paper will
bear closer study and thought and can
not help but be a benefit to US as a
committee and club, that as wives OF
the citizens of Hammond and mothers
of our future citizens, for it is true
indeed. that poorly governed cities and
homes send forth into this great world
people who cannot give to the world the
best of themselves because they were
not taught TO be masters of themselves
During the social hour Mrs. Betz and
her efficient committee served a dainty
lunch.

polished fruit. The pIatters,
which are generally of generous
