Hon. and Mrs. Robert M. Sweitzer Pre-
sented julius F. Taylor with Some Fine
American Beauty Reses for Mrs. Taylor.

On Monday it seemed that all of
the little tin horns and the big politi-
clans in this city and county endeav-
ored to break into the City Hall and
the County Building in order to wit
ness the big doings which were to
take place on that day, and there were
just as many of the lady politicians
present as there were men, and while
the various officials and their boosters
were shouting, handshaking and
speechmal1ing the dear sweet ladies
would fiji their bare arms with the
lovely flowers, and when the speak
ing and the congratulations were all
over and there were no more cigars
to give away, the flowers had in most
instances disappeared with the ladies,
without any question about it the
greatest of all the floral displays were
in evidence in the rooms Of Hon.
Robert M. Sweitzer, who easily ranks
among the first citizens Of Chicago.
His large private room was banked all
around with many beautiful flowers.
Mrs. Robert M. Sweitzer, who served
as hostess Of the pleasant occasion, was
just as sweet and as charming as she
could possibly be. A number of her
lady friends elegantly gowned assisted
her to receive the thousands of friends
who called during the day to grasp
Mr.. Sweitzer by the hand and wish

little Miss Audrey Lee, the bright
granddaughter Of Prof. and Mrs.
Samuel l. Lee, 436 East 4oth street,
delivered her little speech to Senator
Harding which she had all written
out, and he was SO well pleased with
it that he requested her to come down
to his Office and see him and that he
would treat her fine.
The rooms of Hon. William R.
Fetzer, in the City Hall, contained
many rare and beautiful flowers and
Mrs. Fetzer, the adorable wife Of his
Hon. Judge Fetzer, assisted him to re-
ceive his great army of friends who
locked into his court rooms all day
long and the judge was bowling, scrap
ing, smiling and shaking hands to
beat the band during his all day re-
ception. His good wife, Mrs. Fetzer,
is a very pleasant lady to meet.

bank and all the other city and county
officials were remembered by their
friends with thousands and thousands
of dollars worth of flowers.
At the end Of that happy day Hon.
George F. Harding, county treasurer,
appointed his old friend and business
associate, Mr. Gregory T. Van Meter,
assistant treasurer of Cook County,
and it is fully admitted on all sides that
he is the right man in the right place.

BOSTON SYMPHONY oRCHES-
IRA SCORES WITH NEGRO
MELODY

The predominating feature Of the
concert given by the League Of Com
posers last Saturday night, in Town
Hall, and one which resulted in re-
sounding applause and even cheers
from an uncommonly brilliant and
representative audience, was Louis
Gruenberg's setting Of ''The Creation,
a Negro sermon, the verse being by
the colored poet, James Weldon john
SON, and the performance by Julius
BIedsoe, the celebrated Negro baritone
Of this city, and Serge Koussevitsky.

torial quality of the poem and the
dramatic inspirational delivery of Mr..
Bledsoe, it is not easy to say. It is
enough to say that the work was a
sweeping success, and the only one Of
the concert. Mr.. Bledsoe showed ex-
ceptional intelligence and histrionic as
well as vocal capacities in his per-
formance. He made the composers

On entering the rooms of Mr..

Sweitzer, who is numbered among our
best lady friends in Chicago, very
proudly walked forward and at the
same time warmly extending her hand
and calling us by name, for we have
had the extreme pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Sweitzer several times before.
Mr.. Sweitzer was just as gallant as
he possibly could be in the presence
of so many lovely ladies', and said:
Brother Taylor, we are awfully glad
that you called in TO see us today"
And after Mrs. Sweitzer had heartily
thanked us for SO Loyalty standing by
