and Miss Roberta Hostettler of Dav-
export acted as the reception commit
tee, receiving the so or more people
that called. Misses Edna and Jean
Robson presided at the punch bowl
and in the west club room of the Ii
brary light refreshments were served,
red and yellow tulips being used as
the floral touch. The pictures painted
by Mr.. Hutchens were the chief attrac-
ton of the evening.
Mr.. HutchenS paints COnSCientiously
and with feeling. His aim is educa-
tional, he says, and to create or to
awaken a desire for the best in art;
and he strives always to give his best
to the people.
Some of his pictures show influence
Of the most modern school while 9TH
ers are more conservative in color and
treatment, and will probably be bet
ter understood by the uninitiated
Among the most attractive of the pic
lures in the collection OF II at the
library gallery is "The Frozen Brook. "
The trees are beautiful with their
shadows on the snow and they are
very life like. 1t was painted entirely
out of doors, Mr. Hutchens explained,
and Il had to build fire to keer
warm" The scene is in New England
near NOrWalk, Conn.
In The Hill Top" one Of the largest
pictures and that will at once hold
the eye, the artist has caught the spirit
OF the great Out-of-dOors and the breez-
mess of high places; the composition
and the figure with its finely posed.
easy, unaffected grace and naturalness
have been admirably conceived and
show Mr.. Hutchens at his best, and
the color is pleasing
"A Woodland Brook" is suggestive
of woodland spaces. sunlight on shady
pool, and quiet flowing waters
THE Market Day" is another pic
ture of gracefully posed figures in
which rather well known subject is
like good story-ret0ld with fresh,
simple treatment, truth and feeling,
rational and conservative conception
and color.
THE Canal at Katwyk" is also in a
more conservative style and will find
many admirers
One Of the most satisfying and for
some the most beautiful of the pictures
will be "Poplars in Picardie." 1t is
rather Frenchy in that the tall Nor
many or Picardie poplars dominate the
landscape. But the trees are very
graceful and natural, and the picture
possesses the charm of atmosphere
and feeling, and there is a sense OF
light without the brilliancy of sunlight
This picture was painted three or four
years ago in the part of France tina,

KNOTTs IN RECITAL TONIGHT.

Richard Knots, noted bass-baritone
of Pittsburgh, Pa, appears tonight in
song recital at the First Methodist
church under the auspices Of the La

G. Sbriglia Of Paris, France, noted
master of vocal art, says of Mr.. Knots
voice: He possesses voice Of Won

very resonant He has intelligent dra-
matte ability, a friendly disposition,
magnetic personality, and with his
magnificent physique he cannot help
mounting to a high pinnacle as an
artist"

THINGS NORTH KNOWING.

1t is the little odd f1ayorings which
make cooking individual. Try put
ting a tablespoon of catsup with veal
outlets when baking. Add a shaking
of mustard to each layer Of esCaloped
potatoes two drops of onion juice
when frying steak; cocoanut mixed
with any kind of ice cream; little
grated cheese to boiled salad dress
ing.
About Drippings-Beef drippins
make excellent pie crust and for gin
gerbread and cookies are even better
than butter; cake, too, for the chill
dren-cheap, wholesome and tender,
though not rich. Drop cakes come
forth most appetizingly. Potatoes and
fish fried in drippings are delicious
and its use for greasing pans or any
other way as substitute for lard is
satisfactory and economical. Poultry
ut is just the thing to spice cakes and
spice cookies, and some cooks depend
upon it for the crust for chicken pie

The verses follow.
OF what are you thinking, baby, DEAR
Out in the quiet stiffness here;
Are you thinking Of the time that used
to be
Before God gave you to me?
How empty my life before you came,
Now you have filed it full again
Why are you crying, baby. dear?
Nothing will harm you, do not fear;
Life is so full of tears and signs
We must not fill it with baby's cries.
Baby must be we'll, happy and free,
Nurtured and loved so tenderly.
Into the world the wee ones come,
Without any real wish Of their own.
So young and tender, helpless and frail,
Our love and care should never fail.
''Suffer.the little ones to come unto Me-"
Jesus spoke so tenderly.
God pity the heart so cold and scar
That has no love for baby dear.
What a loyeless life that one must be,
But how many such people we see.
Their purse strings tighen and will
not give
A single penny that baby may live.
Baby week has passed away,
But baby dear has come to stay.
II you will only heed her cry,
Help! help! save one from the fly.
In summer the milk is so impure,
And winter cold hard to endure.
