tent being filled, with many sitting on
the outside.
The Metropolitan Symphony club
was the musical attraction, and Marie
Van Gastel, the Belgian nurse, gave
the lecture.
The symphony club is group OF
seven real musicians and they gave
the entire afternoon program. Many
in the audience were disappointed IN
their selections, but the violinist In
particular and the saxaphone sololst
redeemed the program.
The leader sang The Dixie Melody
and in imitation Of AL Jolson marched
down the aisles as he sang. One man
in the audience. a musician of much
ability himself, said: He makes me
think OF a ten cent record" and 1t
wasn't Q bad similie-
Plenty Of Patriotism.
The evening program opened Win
a half hours concert by tho keoRuk
Concert band which played In it, very
best style and merited the compliment
which the leader of the Metropolitan
symphony club gave it when he said.
"This oity should be very proud OF
such a musical organization.
The prelude by the symphony ciuD
included the overture Orphans
"Stars and Stripes Forever" violin
numbers Hungarian Dance" and The
Rosary, and closed by playing the
rational hymns Of the allied nations.
At the opening note Of each hymn
a little Keokuk girl stepped onto the
platform waving the flag OF that ma
ton. With the appearance OF tho
American flag the audience rose and
sang 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" to

A Heroine Of Belgium.
She told the story Of the invasion
by the Huns, giving vivid picture OF
Antwerp, her native city, in ruins.
When the war began she was q
student in a convent and volunteered
as q nurse. She and three other con-
vent girls were given nine days train
ing and told to establish base hospir
tai in school house.
They took out the benches. scrubbed
and cleaned the building and for
weeks nursed wounded soldiers day
and night
Finally, when the invading army
drove them out, she was wounded and
invalided to England. At the close OF
the war she came to America to speak
in behalf Of her people and to plead
with the American people not to for
get the atrocities Of the Huns.
In describing Belgium she said:
