Cupid has been quietly occupied during the last season of Lent with preparations for a wedding of particular interest to Hammond people .on account of the prominence of the young people.
The parents of William Whitaker and Miss Ferrol Dickover received the first
information of their marriage and an-' nouncement has been made in the younger society sets where they have many friends. The details of the ceremony have not been received by the
"Hammond relatives, although it" is
known that they left Hammond last Saturday for Chicago and were married
there. There were no attendants and the ceremony was kept secret until yesterday when the parents received telegrams that they had been married and would leave Chicago Monday for Lansing, Mich. They will remain in
Lansing indefinitely where Mr. Whltaker has secured a position. The bride,
formerly. Miss Ferrol Dickover is the

The regular bl-wgekly meeting of the Hammond Woman's club took place
last Saturday afternoon in the auditor
lum of the' First Presbyterian church
The program was given under .the auspices of the history -committee and
was in- charge of ita competent chair
man, Mrs. J. S. Blackmum.
This public day was one of the most
Interesting, entertaining and instruc
tive that has ever been given before th
club. It held the undivided attention
of the large audience, which showed
its appreciation by heartily applauding
at the close of each number. The must
cal part of the program was unusually
delightful. The piano solo by Mrs
Eugene Cooper was artistically ren
dered, showing a delicate and accurte
touch. The vocal solo by Mrs. Frank
lin Blackmum was beautifully sung
Her tones were clear and yet soft and harmonious. Her enunciation was distinct and her voice modulated from one musical key into another l ith
much uniformity and sweetness. Mrs
Blackmum responded to a hearty en
core. Miss Mae Hanson again proved
herself to be a sympathetic accompan
1st. Following the musical numbers
was an illustrated lecture, "The Relig
ion of the Red Man," or "The Snake
Dance," by Mrs. Mary RidDath Mann

j should have heard it, for a short re
hearsal of the many points of interest
; would be wholly insufficient to portra
' its excellency. "The Snake Dance" of
j the Indians of Arizona, which is celebrated very two years, Is the outward i form or expression of a fervent prayer 1 for rain. The celebration lasts sixteen days. Mrs. Mann, having witnessed in part one of these celebrations, vividly and picturesquely described this wonI derful and impressive scene. Impresj slve because every movement and utj terance during the celebration is a sym
bol of prayer and is performed with a deep rooted religious feeling. The rejoicing does not come until the rain falls, for then the Indian knows that the "Great Spirit" has heard and answered his prayers. The lecture closed by a comparison of the Indian religion with that of the white man. - A CLUB MEMBER.
