Mr.. Shuttle Delights His Audience
At the WOman's Club.

Yesterday was an afternoon to be
marked with a white stone by Col
umbus children. By invitation, eager
and expectant, they gathered at the
Woman's Club to hear Mr. Stephan.
Shuttle, a story-teller of national
reputation, who completely captured
them and carried them into charmed
realms where the work-a-day j.
forgotten and fancy holds sway.
Mr.. Shutze's program, which
opened with a brief talk to the
grown-ups present upon the educa-
tional value of storytelling, was
delightful in choice and variety. His
own story, "The Black Kitty"
really a classic. At the college,
where he has appeared before, i
has boone such an established fav-
orite that he has repeated it agar
and again, always with heightened
approval.
Mr.. Lawrence Painter of the Col
lege Faculty gracefully introduced
the speaker, who inaugurated
"story- Hour" at tthe Club. This
hour, according to a schedule an
nounced by Mrs. Painter of the Lib
rary Committee, will be observed
every Wednesday. A numbr Of col
lge girls, specializing in the Story
telling Course, have generously of
fered their services.
