worth colonists who settled in this
country in the eaxly seventeenth century.
The first esta blished OF these three
families really owes its existence in this
country to a plucky woman. This was
Elizabeth, the widow Of William Ham
mond, who. for the sake OF her children,
braved the hazards Of the sea and came
to Boston in the ship Griffin in 1884. No
doubt she owes her remarkable courage
TO the fact that she was a member of
the Penn family, a sister Of the English
admiral OF the name and an aunt OF
the celebrated Quaker. IN whose honor
the State OF PENNSYLVANIA was named.
With her Elizabeth Penn Hammond
brought her one son, Benjamin. and
three daughters. Benjamin. in reality
the male founder Of the family. was
born in England, probably in London.
in 1871, and was therefore 13 years old
at the time he came 20 this country. In
the new world Benjamin married Mary
Vincent and through his children the
family was established in many parts
Of Massachusetts,. At the present day,

Hammond was a man OF considerable
wealth. his estate in Newton, Mass, at
the time of his death being valued at
.l39 pounds, lS shillings and pence, a
considerable sum in colonial New Eng

Still another connection OF the name

 When He Ceased To Be Funny.
 So many things are spoiled because people do not know when to stop things of every kind, big and little A friend of mine was giving an inf, tation of a very funny person he had met. He gave us five minutes of it, and we laughed until our throats ached, for he has that rare talent of recreating a personality by the lift of an eyebrow, the tone of his voice. He gave us two or three minutes more and we subsided into smiles He kept it up a little longer and we actually began to find it difficult to produce the necessary smile. So it ever goes. Enough is a feast and a little more than enough spells l the taste of all that goes before. To have the energy to start things and the intelligence to know when to
 stop-these are two of the biggese factors of success.

"CHARITY BALL" AT
 LYCEUM SCORES HIT
Players This Week Have Chance at Old Fashioned Drama,
 and Make Good

After all, there is nothing prettier, nothing sweeter than the old-time plays, with all their diviations and short comings. Such a play is pre- scented at the Lyceum this week, '"The Charity Ball" It has all the heart interest that one could wish, all the emotion all the little love touches that go to make a real drama.
 This old vehicle is far different from the plays of the present moment. It has to do with @ quiet little family, the home circle of Mrs. Van Buren and her two sons, John, the rector of St. Mildreds and Dick, the man who wants to break Wall street The old mother is blind. Dick has had an affair with a Southern girl Phyllis Lee. At the death of her father she is brought to the home of the Van Buren's where John, the miniStc:, promptly falls in love with her, ig noring the girl in love with him, Ann Cruger But in the end it is all strengthened out. and everybody gets the right one. John marries Ann and Dick is joined in wedlock to the woman he at one time intended 10 desert Phyllis. There is a charming old couple thrown in for goodmeasurc. Judge Peter Gurney Knox. and Mrs. Cammilla de Peyster a widow, who also "get hitched.'
 As the rector of St Mi1dred'S Alfred Cross has found a role that is wonderfully suited for him. He is at his best in the part of the good, the kindly. the sympathetic rector. Playing opposite him Miss Julie Herne is seen in one of the best parts assigned to her since her en- gagement in this city. She plays Ann Cruger, a part played by many of the famous stars of another day; but it is doubtful if any of them put moro realism In the part. Tn her last scene with Alfred Cross Miss Herne more than does herself credit. She is great.
 It is a treat to see such old characters, true to life, as Judge Knox and Mrs. de Pcyster J. Irving White in the part of the Judge" is im- mense. He carries many a laugh with him wherever he goes. and Mrs. de Peyster. played by Miss Estelle Morton, would be hard to improve upon.
 Others who dc we'll in this delight
  as the mother of the two boys. Mrs Van Buren, and she is wonderful Miss Brandt carries out her part with honors. She represents a beautiful, old, lady and puts all the life and pathos in the part one could wish. It is a sweet character and Miss Brandt makes the most of it. Miss Elsie Southern. as Bess, the sister of the two boys, is also good. One oS the delights of the play is the char acterization of the old organist, Bets, by Joseph Henley. Phyllis Lee is played by Miss Ruth Byron, who ie quite capable in the part. Others in the casts are Philip Sheffield as Alec Robinson, the juvenile lover of Beas Van Buren, Hall Jarrett, as the broker partner of Dick, the part played by Ralph Collier, Arthur Vinton, who shines, in one act only. and. Cain, a little boy who plays the part of ! E-aif His name is not given on the programme, but he deserves mention. He is a real boy.
