KINCHIN STORIES
TOLD BY AUTHOR
Entertaining Program Presented at
Woman S Club Mceting-PIeasing
Songs by Miss Hutchins.

The Woman s club met yesterday in
the banquet hall of Odd Fellows tenn
pie with a good attendance. 1t was
voted to meet in that place hereafter,
at the discretion of the program com
mittee. The program for the afternoon
consisted of reading from the Kinchin
Stories by the author, Mr.. Marion
Franklin Ham of Reading, Mass, and
southern melodies sung by Miss Mary
Hutchins. Mr.. Ham read three stories,
The Educational Value of Huckleber-
ry Tarts, His Grudge Against Freedom,
and Marse Andy s Christmas Party.
The stories are unusual and present
Uncle Kinchin as one of the quaintest
and most delightful characters ever
presented to the public. Mr.. Ham has
acquired the negro dialect to an ex-
tent that is surprising and reproduces
the speech and mannerisms of the old
time Negro without apparent effort.
Miss Hutchins delighted all with her
songs, giving just the right atmosphere
for the stories. She was sympathetically
accompanied by Miss Catherine Wood
