Club Musicale.

The Putnam parlors were thrown
open to the members of the Woman's
Club and their guests last Friday
evening, for the first "open" reci-
tai of the season given by the music
department of the Club. The pro-
gram rendered was under the super
vision of Mrs. j. E. Lucas, who is
chairman of this department. The
verdict expressed by all present was,
that the evenings entertainment was
enc of the best ever given in Palatka
and those who did not hear it missed
a rare treat. The program, which
showed careful preparation, was CIV
en- as follows:
Orchestral number by Professor
Chattaway's orchestra, which was in
deed a treat Then the quartette,
composed of Miss Irma Lewis, Mrs.
]. E. Lucas, Miss Ida Leib and Mrs
Edw. L. Mann gave two numbers
that were very enjoyable to their
listeners. Mrs. George w. Bassett
sang beautifully, two spring numbers.
This lady always pleases and pos
sesses a voice that gives pleasure.
Mis- Helen Tilghman played an i'm
promptu selection that showed her
fine technique and ability, and she
charmed her audience by her interpre-
tation of the composers. The duet
by Misses Rena Brown and Ida Leib,
proved a charming number being
played in a sympathetic and artistic
manner. The orchestra gave
charming little Berceuse, then one of
the delights of the evening was the
musical readings of three Irish mel
odies, portrayed by a guest of the
club, Miss Nell Foster of Chicago,
who tripped lightly through the airy
Irish dances of these old tunes, tell
ing their stories, with soft piano ac-
compartment. Miss Louise Boyd |
was heard to splendid advantage in
her selections from the always beau
tiful al Trovatore," and admiration
was expressed on all sides for her
Interpretation and technique.
The appearance of Miss Irma Jane
Lewis was notice, that something fine
was coming, and in her group of |
songs, the wonderful charm and
sweetness of her voice, with its range
md endurance, was manifested. The
,uartette again appeared, and was
rreeted heartily in a group of songs.
These ladies have worked together
or some time and their work always
dds pleasure to the programs.
me Orchestra then closed the even
ng's program with Chinese melody.

and both of them apparently of con
siderable Importance. The writer will
declare that she mailed the cards. which
she did, and charge up the non-deliverv
to the poStoffice force. She will never
believe that she did not address them. -
Another thing that bothers the post
office employees is the letters and cards
mailed without stamps. If these are adj.
dressed a notice is sent to the ad.
dresses notifying them of a card or Il
letter without postage. In the case of
letters usually postage for them is re
turned, but cards are not ALWAYS sent
for and some of them bear apparently
valuable information.
One more error that appears to be
on the increase is the addressing OF
mail to one town or city when it is in
tended for another. For instance. the
other day letter was received ia Brat
tleboro addressed to a street name that

The increased use of the mails and
the rush with which office business is
done now in many offices bv steaogra-
piers who arc not too careful IN their
work, accounts for some of the per
PleXl1es of the postotfiee officials.

The time is coming, if it has not ar

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emu1-
sion is exactly what you should take; it's
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-ce1ls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
