Husbands Evening
By Wornan's Club
Of Cliffside Park

The Husbands Evening" given on
Thursday, by the Literature Depart
ment of the WOman's Club of Cliffside
Park was delightful occasion, both
for the members who planned it and
for their husbands for whom it was
planned.
Tie affair was held at the home of
Mr.. md Mrs w. J. Macdonald, and
their beautiful home looked especially
n s.s'rse as the g,.,..s Il sar'ived AMI
WIFE greeted by the hosts.
Practically all the members turned
out, so, with the escorts there was a
goodly company of nearly forty.
The evening was most informal
one as to program and dress. Mrs.
George Drew opened the program with
some charming piano solos, 1.-The
Clouds" and "The Fairy Tale" and b
numbers. Mrs. Koch sang two selec-
tions. a and b numbers, "Mignon," by
Schubert and "An Old Garden" Mrs.
Charles Levermore played "The Min
uet," by Paderewski, followed by
poem by Mcdowell, which she re-
cited first and then played.
Mrs. Sammis read two poems by
"BObbie" Burns, "The Mouse" and
tom Glenn" prefacing it with the ex-
PLANTATION that as Sunday was the one
hundred and siXtieth anniversary Of
Burns birth, his poems seemed to be
most appropriate on this occasion.
Mrs. Dana, during the evening read
the prize letters of little eight and
Il half year old girl and an eight year
old boy, who had written in com
petition for the prizes offered by the
New York Drama League, for essays
on the play of Abraham Lincoln, by
John Drinkwater, now being produced
in New York
Several selections We're sung by the
quartette, Mrs. j. III. Koch, Mrs. w. j.
Macdonald, Miss Rachel Mutt and
Miss Edith Foringer, accompanied
by Mrs. Drew. One of these Selec
lions was Hawaiian song, and in the
other, 1.-THE Heart of Rose the
quartette distributed roses among the
husbands as favors, as pretty little
compliment.
Mrs. J. G. Vosburgh played popular
music and a grand march when the
chairman marshalled all in line and all
marched through the kitchen taking a
napkin and a sandwich as they passed
through, then later as they more
decorOusly sat in the spacious living
rooms, more sandwiches were passed
as well as cake and coffee and a gen
eral social time was enjoyed.
A grand community song was the
closing part for many when, Mr. w
S. b. Dana, at the piano played war
and other popular songs and every one
joined in heartily, men singing one
part, women another, all joining in on
another, according as the pianist gave
directions.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Fl. r. Benda, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Drew, Mrs. Warren +. Sammis, Mr..
and Mrs. John H. ]. Koch, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Levermore, Professor
and Mrs. Franz Boas, Mr.. and Mrs.
John c. Yosburgh, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Brown, Doctor and Mrs. John
White, Mrs. Herbert Everett, Mrs. ].
Coulter, Miss Esther tombstone, Mr..
am Mrs. w. S. b. Dana, Miss NJ. G.

Robert H. Mutt, Mr.. and Mrs. w. J.

Walls That Spoke

II you have ever been cross because the
walls apd stairways of your house creaked
learn at once from Coningsby Dawson's
story THE Little House" John I.ane)
that your house is merely talking as do
human beings. Learn that it has a right TO
talk at certain periods of the night about
those things which have happened i'm its
confines. Your house sleeps all day and
therefore it may talk at night. In this story
" the little London house that sheltered
-four war worn souls. the author has given
more evidence of his power to make lifeless
objects seem animate.
Far from the fashionable air of HYDE
Park the little house stood For years It had
stood there and watched the births, mar
riages and deaths of people. but now the war
had left 1t alone with an old caretaker. Dur
ing an air raid the old lady leaves the house
i'm terror, forgetting to shut the front door
as she goes. war widow with her two
children loses her way in the Square and
seizes the opportunity OF protection AS she
makes her children comfortable by the fire.
side of the little house an American officer
en- route to the 'front.' accepts the open hospi-
tally Of the door and intrudes on the lady
As he Is about to leave, she asks him to
stay. They talk-one already devastated by
the war and the other about to be.
Hereupon the Little House steps In and
manages the affairs of the officer and the
lauy. 'SiteT III me year lne lazy rents the
house and on Armstice Night the man re-
turns to gaze at the walls wherein he had
his last peaceful hour before the war--ho
sees that II is tenanted-he hopes that the
lady is tnere-he finds that she is and then
the story goes on TO the happy 0nd.
There is unique touch 10 the tnlrs
story. Mr.. Dawson has fulfilled those wishes
we have always had about houses We have
wanted walls to talk and they have talked.
We know now that they do think, feel. love
and speak as we do and with this knowledge
we shall now have more patience with those
stairs that creak we attempt to steal past
our parents room In the wee hours OF the
morning.
review of this book could not be COM
plete without mention of the delightful Illus
trations by Stella LangdaIe. She has
caught the elflke spirit of the story with
the blacks and grays with which she shrouds
the soul of the little house.

The Helpful Psychical
Professor

Will N. Harben's new story THE Divine
Event (Harper's), is described as the mar
rative of a progress from the shadow into
the sunshine woman's brave fight for
freedom, happiness and love" Perhaps the
light that she wins against the evil desires
Of her half brother justify the title, but be-
yond that we cannot see the divinity OF the
event. Mr. Harden made a clever char
acterization of the man deeply interested in
psychical phenomena when he created Pro-
fessor Trimble. whose nimble brain saved
the heroine from disaster.
1t is an involved love story of a man
who gives up his wealth and social position
in order to regain calm state of mind. To
effect this end he lives in the squalor OF the
East Side and finds therein the lady OF his
dreams. She is shrouded in mystery. She
is bounded by some great trouble. He for
bears to question her, and eventually
through the seances OF "a medium he learns
her history and effects her release from the
horror that hovers over her.
1t is Gramlings firm conviction that the
girl is sane that strikes us more definitely
than his gradual love for her. We feel his
intense faith in her and his determination
to remove the cloud from her life. The
author has clearly defined the mans attitude
toward the girl. Never once have We seen
him considering the girl anything other
than a human being threatened with the
worst calamity imaginable. He admits that
he loves her, but he offers belief in her
sanity as protection and not mere affection

him In some legal business which he once
had. This country, though very friendly to
Lincoln as man, did not sympathize with
the war. The population was too much made
up of Kentuc<ans and Tennesseeans who
had grown up amid the institution of sav-
cry and who had definite ideas as to the
powers of the States in this and all other
matters. And one OF the results of the war
was to fill up these various towns in central
Illinois with various colorful and reckless
characters, who had come up from the
South, sometimes to escape the war and on
errands of adventure or otherwise
I'm writing the story of Mitch Miller I
have used the real names of towns for ex-
ample: Petersburg, Havana, Springfield, Bob
town, Oakford. Atterbury, &C.. and in a few
instances have used the names Of real per-
sons; and j have also drawn upon the
knowledge that 1 have of this part of I'LL
nols and its people as they were when I
lived there as boy. My attempt has been
to portray these people. the country and the
events used with utmost fidelity and to put
into them the feelings of boy, the knowl-
edge and understanding of boy, perhaps
somewhat emphasized, but through the
method of quotation from older people who
spoke in the presence of these boys and
whose words impressed them.

impression upon the boys of America than

that many boys tried to follow the example
Of Tom Sawyer in hunting for treasure just

Mitch Miller traces the influence of Tom
Sawyer upon two boys who read the book
and who lived in a community where the
people were much the same as they were in
