beneficial meetings OF the year The

was given hy Hammond women aud
has never been eNceued by any talent
that has been brought TO the city from
the outside
Mrs + IT. Adams gave the address
of the afternoon and in her pleasing
manner pointed out facts relative 10
the duties Of an women. especially to
the women Of our own city.
Mrs. ADAMS advocated the ideal of
every woman having at laest one inter
est that would benefit the community
outside of her home duties. She point-
ed out the fact that, no longer could
woman remain within her own four
walls-as no matter how she trained
her own children-if her neighborss
ohildren-tf the children in the schools.
Sunday schools ETC. did not receive
that same training her training would
be of little avail
Mrs. Adams brought out the idea OF
the mother becoming more interested
in the education of her ohildren-in
the teaching of sex hygiene, of the
courtesies of one sex toward another.
She said that women must be nrepar-
ing themselves for the ballot as il Is
sure 10 come. They must study polisi-
cal situations in order that they may
vote Understandings
Mrs Adams criticised the city with
providing the school children with
teacher who gave them lessons In
dancing for giving grace. rhythm etc
and then not providing a place where
later on that taste could be developed
under proper supervision and instruc-
tion. She said that while few could
give their children a place to dance III
their homes, the majority would have
no place but the public dance hall
which Mrs Adams stated caused more
misery in the world than any Of our
social evils, the saloon not excepted
Women. as mothers of the race
should care more for their physical be-
ing, said Mrs. Adams. Her whole talk
was replete with good things. and she
ended by advocating purity in the
womans own heart. charity toward
her sisters. praverfuI spirit and a
kindness toward all
Miss Muriel Wilcox followed this
with A reading entitled. "F6r Dear Old
Yale" Her selection for the afternoon
was very appropriate and she carried
her audience with her during her en-
tire reading by her dramatic rendering
Of the piece Her ennunciation was
particularly good. and her portrayal Of
the scenes in her reading was so vivid
that all felt they were seeing the pic
ture she placed before her audience.
From tears in this selection Miss VIII
cox turned her audience to smiles in
her encore entitled, Little Brown
Baby"
The third number on the afternoon.
program was the singing OF three num-
hers by Mrs. Geo. Hannauer. Although
the last number on the program, it was
by means the least as every Ham
mond audience considers ii a treat to
hear Mrs. Hannauer sing Mrs Han
nauers numbers We're The Garden Of
Love" BY William Dtebels .'SVil O. the
Wisp. by Charles Stress and Guardian
Angel" by Liza lehman 1t is a
pleasure to every one to hear Mrs
Hannauer sing her enunciation is
so cellar and with the pure tones Of her
voice together with the feeling she
puts into each song, makes her audi
ence fel that nothing is lacking In any
number she sings.
Mrs. Hannauer was accompanied BY
Miss Mae Hansen Ia her usual expires
sive manner Following the program
the president Mrs Richard Winckler
announced that she had been requested
10 appoint a committee to confer with
the city officials TO see to 1t, that The
