IVAN STUCKY , IS CLUB HOSTESS I Eighteen members of the Hlstori|cal club met at the home of Mrs. pvan Stu ky Wednesday afternoon, with Mrs. S. E. Hite as leader. Mrs. I Hile told the life story of Fanny I Crosby, the blind hymn writer. "Blind from infancy, her grandmother was her first teacher, des- i i<rfbing the beauties of nature and reading the Bible to her. The child i committed to memory the five' bi. ks of Moses, Psalms, Proverbs, I Ruth and the Songs of Colomon. "At the age of 15 she was sent ito a school forth blind. Being a very apt pupil she was often taken to church and schools to reette poetrv and show how the blind were taught. She wrote and recited -*’iginal poems on occasions su.h as , a visit from the President of the i I’nited States to the school. "Completing her education, she remained as a teacher in the school where she met an dmarried Alexander Van Alstyne, a student, blind like herself. He died at the age of 41. She lived to the age of 93. , “She wrote 8,600 hymns, tne best known of which are "Blessed Assurance,” "S me Day the Silver Chord Will Break." “Savior More than Life to Me.'' "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior," and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Th: main themsy of her songs were faith, love and home. The first hymn she wrote was: "We are going, we are going To a home beyond the skies Wher the fields are robed in beauty And the Sunlight never dies." ' At the close of the program, delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs Delton Pass water and Mrs. Leota Beery. The c’ub will meet next Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Judson Pass water at the corner of 7th street and Nuttman avenue. MRS. C. E. PETERSON HOSTESS TO CLUB The Ladies' Shakespeare club met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. E. Peterson, with Mrs. A. D. Suttles presiding in the absence of the ipres’dent, Mrs. W. A. Lower. After the routine opening, Mrs. Wil'iam Bell presented an interesting paper -»i “The Restoration of Williamsburg” and “Period Furniture.” "The restoration of this oldest . city in the United States represents : colonial America in all its splendor. • During the Revolutionary war its

buildings were occupied, first by the American forces, then the British. In IRfit one of the first Important engagements of the Civil War was fought in and near Williamsburg at which time many of its lovely . Id homes were destroyed. | "In 1925 John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,' while attending a benefit dinner given by the Phi Beta Kanpa fraternity. became Interested In its restoration. Fourteen million dollars has been used to restore this beautiful historical city exactly as it stood in 1867. The colonial charm, the beautiful gardens and the quaint s ttfng make this a most delightful spot to visit. i "The eighteenth century marked I thf- supremacy of the work cf per- ' iod furniture. The loveliest designs were created by Chippendale, Sheridan, Heppleweight and Duncan ■ Phyfe. Due to the outstanding sim- | plieity and grace these designs are very popular in our modern homes.” Delicious flora' made candies were served at the c'ose of the afternoon. The meeting next Wednesday will be held at the home of Mrs. Noah Frye with "Historical Monuments" as the subject. Each member is requeste dto bring material on the subject. | MRS.
