Musicians Mix Work With Fun Heidt’s Band Has Played for Royalty on Tour of Europe. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor Horace Heidt and his Brigadiers should be able to face the most austere society gathering. They have coped with trying situations in the presence of royalty of Europe and have pleased Chicago's diffident society. During their first European tour they were invited to play at the Paris Opera House for the famous ball aiding European children suffering from tuberculosis. The 16-piece band with its collection of instruments looked bewilderedly about the spacious ballroom for the stage and soon were informed that they were to play from a bridge barely three feet wide. Rand Loyal to Mascot They played their best without music—there wasn’t enough space for their music racks. All progressed well until the “Bells of St. Mary's” number. One of the musicians dropped his bells down on the heads of some of the dignitaries. The musicians wanted to go to England to play, but Lo 80, their trained German shepherd dog was refused admittance to the coontry. The orchestra remained faithful to their mascot and refused to leave him behind. They didn’t go to England. At the Drake in Chicago, the Brigadiers played for nine months. At first they suffered under the restraint of the formal atmosphere in which they could talk scarcely above a whisper. Warmed the Blucbloods When they began the community singing, some of the more restrained bluebloods lifted their eyebrows in disapproval. But it wasn’t long before they were registering approval and also doing some of the singing. Mr. Heidt and his Brigadiers are returning to the Drake on May 15 after completing their present tour. When the band broadcasts tomorrow night for CBS from the Columbia Club, it is to dedicate the entertainment “To the Ladies.” Thursday is Shirley Temple’s birthday and the Brigadiers are to play a number for her. Mr. Heidt has the three Campbell sisters and Lysbeth Hughes, harp player and singer, in his orchestra. Miss Hughes is stepping into the trio numbers with two of the Campbell sisters while the third is ill. Mr. Heidt, looking very much like the college football player he was when he started his band, admits that he receives fan mail from feminine admirers. But he won’t tell what they say. Irvington M. E. Church Women to Hold Party The annual tea of the Irvington M. E. Church Woman's Association is to be Monday, May 4, in Wm. H. Block & Cos. auditorium. Mrs. Arthur R.

clothes. He isn’t satisfied at home, and as my people live out of town I have no place to call home. I have bought all kinds of linens and we’ve had the wedding ring for a year. Now my fiance wants to be married secretly, but I am afraid his people will blame me. They are really very nice and I think it is better to have them on my side. He thought if we were married secretly we would feel more like saving our money to go to housekeeping. We have some saved, but we want more than that. I, too, am working. Are we wrong in planning to marry this way? QUESTIONER. Answer: When a man feels that he must apologize to his family for getting married it is obvious that the clan has carried its influence too far. This young man is trying

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
VT/ASHINGTON, Tuesday.—l have just returned from " the airport. I hated to see my children go off to New York by air in a young gale with a small duststorm sweeping over us, but they flew down here for Col. Howe s funeral services, and felt they had to get back to New York as soon

choir with which he had sung in the early days in Washington when he attended St. Thomas’ Church, and that Dr. Smith, who officiated today, was the rector then. All day certain lines which were favorites of Col. Howe’s have been running through my head: “So be my passing My task accomplished and the long day done, My w’ages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gathered to the quiet West, The sundown splendid and serene, Death.” This perhaps epitomizes, better than anything else, what most of us who knew Col. Howe were thinking as we sat in the East Room this afternoon at his funeral services. Death should be calm and serene when work is done and well done. There is nothing to regret, either for those who go, or for those who stay behind—only an inheritance of good accomplishment to be lived up to by those who carry a loving memory in their hearts.

to strike a compromise between two opposing forces by marrying in secret and remaining in the role of good son at home. If he would face the facts I believe he would find that he is trying to bolster up his courage by marriage. That is, if ho was already married when he broke the news, the family would be powerless to prevent it. If they knew about it ahead of the time they might invent a number of reasons for delay. A member of the family might lose his job, fall ill, or otherwise meet with misfortune which would insure the continued support of the deserting member. Such an accusation may make these people sound like selfish monsters to you but I do not believe this is the case at all. It is simply that some people develop the family clan spirit with such amazing strength that it is extremely difficult for any one of the members to withdraw. They do not connive consciously to place burdens on the one w'ho strains toward freedom, nor would they admit any such intent. Nevertheless, where family ties are strong, these things happen too often to be laid at the door of accident every time. In my opinion, it would be perfectly legitimate for you to marry first and tell the family afterward, providing you do so immediately. If both of you are working and you have a little in reserve, the chances are you can get along better together than apart. Ordinarily, waiting is wiser, but under these circumstances I am in doubt if the young man could protect his savings as long as he lives at home. His people no doubt w'ould adjust themselves to your marriage with
