OVER THE 1 ' "All of one's llf-o in music, if one touches the notes right and in time." Saturday afternoon, March 2, at the Hammond Woman's club mere than eighty club members and about forty visitors were welcomed by Mpsdames Bay Wolf and Emma Wood, reception committee. Th program presented after the transaction of business was. in reality, an excellent musicalo. 'Tivas in charge Of the muslo committee composed by Jlesdamws Bertha Iioome, Edith Smith, Isabella, Jones, May DunHng. Emma Lawrencs, Laura Hirsh, Mildred Spohn, Trances Campbell, Bertha Uridere, gophia Xeg-ele, Lizzie Luridt, Isabel Demlng, Calliu P'uber. under the able leadership of Mrs. Mary Sheerer. The opening: number of the progrum was "Military Fanraro," Bohm, well given as a piano duet by Mesdames pohn and Doming. The fact that it vas requested after bain? played for a previous meeting was proof of the pleasure it had riven. Its repetition afforded as much pleasure. .' After this duet, Mrs. Sheerer introduced Miss . Gwendolyn . Williams, soprano student from Cosmopolitan School of Music, Chi-ago. To Mrs. Bridge's pianc accompaniments. Miss Williams sang two numbers and responded to an encore after each. First, &a a dauble number, she us. d Lehman's "If No One Ever Marries Me," and "I've Something Sweet To Tell Tou," Klllarney" sa the encore. Later 4he also Ban "The Cuckor," with "The Blave Song" as encore. The attention and applause given Miss Williams iniloated that the audience appreciated her varied selections! and her pleasing yocal quality, typically Welsh. . The audience felt favored indeed in hearing two violin numbers by Mrs?. H. O. Conde who also graciously reapended to encores. Mrs. Conde is an artiste, and has often appeared in concant, although seldom in Hammond. Her selections were "A Legend," "WteRiawski; "Mazurka," Musln; "Fantasia Caprice," Vieuxtemps; "Berceuse," from "Jooelyn." They were elaborate, and displayed her marvelous control of her Instrument. Mtb. Lulu Mlnard presided at the pianc. Mrs. Boone and her sister, Miss Mattie Prell of South Bend, rendered a g-uitar duet; and they, too, were recalled. The melodies were sweet, and were especially appreciated as Mrs. Boone's compositions. As a prelude to Mrs. Nellie Hammond's reading, from a distance was Iieard th duet, "Do They Miss Me At Home?'. It was sung with much appropriate expression by Mesdames Duey Oberlin and Lulu Minard (substituting tor Mrs. Elena Johnston who was un able to be present). The piano ac companiment was played by Mrs. DemIngr. ' Immediately following tho song was JJrs. Hammond's reading "And Old Worn-Out Tone"'-with Mrs. Demlng still playing a soft accompaniment. Many jircmounoed Mrs. Hammond's imitation Of an old man's voice wonderfully alistlc. She further delighted her au4ienoa by reciting, as an encore, an entirely different narrative, "Hindu Paradise." A very Interesting number was the piano trio, "The Pompous Soldier," Sudd3, played by Mesdames Spchn, Campbell, and Dunsing. It was replete with gay, refreshing pasages. Equally good and entertaining was the encore, "La Dame Blanche," Krug. Mrs. Emma Lawrence played a brilliant piano solo, "La Palillon," Lavallee, which was enthusiastically received. Although It was live o'clock before this program was concluded, many of the women In attendance expressed the opion that it was an afternoon well Bpent. , At their beautiful home in Webb street, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. MacAleer delightfully entertained the members of the Alpha Phi club, their husbands and the Skookum club on Saturday evening. In all, about thirty-five guests were present. The rooms were prettily decorated In shamrocks and the color scheme throughout the home was carried out in green, suggestive of St. Patricks Day. A most enjoyable musical and elocutionary program was E-iven during the voning. Miss Helen Brown, daughter of President Brown of the Universitp of Valparaiso delighted her hearers with her rich find beautiful soparno voice. Miss Brown is a graduate of the Valparaiso school of music and now holds a position as scoloist in one of the leading churches of Chicago. Mrs. E. W. Ager of Valparaiso, gave a few excellent readings and responded with several encores. Miss Eleanor Llnz rendered several pretty piano numbers, which was much appreciated b ythe many guests. At thee lose of the program the hostess assisted by Misses Leoda MacAleer and Veda Hemstock served a delicious luncheon. The Y. G. A, club was very nicely entertained Saturday evening by Miss Margaret Turner at her heme In Rimbach avenue. Only a few of the club members were present but a very pleasant evening was spent with games and later a dainty luncheon was served by the hostess. Those who were present were: Misses Ruth Brennen. Ruth Wooden, Emma S wanton and Pearl Holton. "Gsntlemens evening" will be observed bv the members of the Domestic Science club. No. 1 tomorrow evening at the home of Mrs. E. P. Ames.

A naval officer noticed that his dacanter of sherry grew steadily empty. With a view to prevent the "evapora tion," he filled it up with the vilest decoction he could compound. The 6herry still decreased and at last he called up the steward. His explana tlon was thoroughly satisfactory. 'I give the cook two wine glasses for the soup every evening," he eaid. No Good !n Whining. Whining is a poor investment for a young man to make. It never pays dividends. The person who site back and complains because things aren't different makes little progress. The man who makes the best and the most, of his surroundings and keeps his nature cheery is the one who Id tho most likely to move up and to get ahead. The Hail-Mark of Genius. Music Is not the only art whose "high priests," so to speak wear long hair. There have been many cases of great artists, great writers, and so on, who have gone about with their locks unshorn in fact, long hair may almost bo said to be the hall-mark of virtuosi generally, no matter what direction their talent takes. Dr. Frederic Cowen, in Strand Magazine. Women Alternatives Scree women frankly admit that they hate pandering to the bumptious youth of the day, but that If they enub him, as he frequently deserves to be snubbed, they get left without partners at dances or any one to talk to at "teas." which is only another proof of the fact that man arrl not woman dictates to society in England. Ladies' Field. Accusing Conscience. The hardest of all ordeals for an honest man is to staad arraigned at the bar of tia own conscience.

is- i vrvi i ii f-1 TTT J. 1 IViaK WlinnOiaS rrom West, Hammond Beard Contractor's Bond. MOVED BY THREATS Citizens Are Wroth at His Arrogance and May Have Recourse .aw. Why does Peter Mak, the village prefeident of West Hammond, want to kep the $25,000 bonds given by Con tractor ITealc-y and also tin sewer con tract? This question is becoming the com mon talk of the village citizens, none of whom can fathom the mystery At the meeting of the board last week Mak was called upon to place tkt bonds in the hands of the village clerk He refused, but said he would do so the next morning. The next morning they wore not forthcoming. When asked about them by one of the members of the board Mak said the bonds would be turned over to the clerk at the meeting Saturday. At -.40 the meeting was called to order and the first thing. President Mak was called upon by Green to pro duce the bonds and contract. Mak with a smile, said lie did not have them with him and that he did not feel like walking to his home to get them. Of course, this brought howls of disgust from those present He was asked why lie did not bring the bands and this was his answer: "Well, I thought I would at first, but changed my mind and now I don't intend to deliver them over to any of you." Mak sad this with the same smile on his face that prevails whenever he is angry. orck, one of the members of the board of local improvements took the floor and began shaking his fist at Mak and loudly scoring him. Mak arose from his seat and with wild ges tures began shaking his fists and pour lng forth some language that would not pass in church. This state of af fairs kept up for about hanf an hour when it became unbearable to Yorck, who left the meeting and was followed by several of the other members. This broke up the meeting and the bonds and contract still had not made their appearance. He Will Get One More Chance. While going down the street the members of theb oard decided to give Peter one more chance. He is to eith er turn the bonds and contract over to the village clerk by Thursday or man damus proceedings will be started against him. The special meeting will j be called promptly at 2:30. The members of the West Hammond village board are getting worked up over Mak's trying to keep the vil lage's business to himself and they do not propose to stand it much longer. The citizens are incensed at the fact that Mak refuses to show up the miss ing documents, and will give no rea son other than he does not want to hand them over. These documents, ac cording to law, should be in the hands of the village clerk and the citizens as well as the board want to and will see them. According to their state ments President Mak is liable to find himself up against something he can not move. Money Mill Mlsnlng. The missing $700 from the We3t Hammond treasury has not yet been found and the board of local improvements has been unable to find where the money has been misappropriated. An expert from Chicago will be out this veek to go over the books and If possible find the shortage. The $700 that is missing is the proceeds of the seventh annual assessment' of the old sewer system. tn speaking of the matter, Joseph Ooyke, the treasurer, says he does not know where It is, but feels confident that it will be found by the expert when he starts his investigation of the books. A letter from contractor Ilealey who has the contract for the new $100,000 sewer system of West Hammond. says that the ocnetruetion on the sawer willl be started March 13 or sooner if the weather permits. All the material for the work has been ordered and is ex pected this wek. This meema satis factory to the board, who will write him to that effect this morning. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

"It Makes The House A Home." Phone SWALLOW'S FLIGHT 13 RAPID. Speed of t28 Miias An Hour Determined in an ExDeriment. The French scientific weekly, Ciel et Terre, prints an interesting article about the speed of several birds, as observed by August Vershcurin of Antwerp. The rapidity of flight credited to the swallow (290 feet a second) seemed exaggerated to him and he undertook soma experiments on his own hook. He sent several baskets of pigeons to Compeigne, France, and in a separate cage a swallow which had its nest under the gable roof of the railroad station at Antwerp. On November 7, at 7:30 in the morning, all the birds were liberated at Compelgne; the swallow took a northern direction as quick as lightning, while the pigeons made several spirals in the air before they started in the same direction. The swallow arrived at Its nest in Antwerp at 8:23. a number of wit nesses being present at its arrival. The first pigeons only arrived at their destination at 11:30 of the same morning. The swallow r,ad, therefore, covered the entire dis'&nca of 146V4 miles In one hour 8nd IS minutes, which Is eaual tn a Rnd of 12814 mile3 an hour, or about 189 feet a second, which is about double the speed of an express train. The pigeons only reached a speed of 35 miles an hour, or 48 feet a second. It may be gathered from these figures how rapidly the migrations of thd swallows take place, as with the speed given above it would require only half a day to fly from Belgium or Central Germany to northern Africa.
