WOMEN’S INSTITUTE HELD MUSICAL PROGRAM Miss Elsie Kearney then played a selection from Bach which was much enjoyed by all. Mrs. Kinnee continued by giving a brief outline of Frederick Chopin’s life. He was born in Warsaw in 1809. When very young he showed excep- tional musical ability, could play difli- cult compositions at 9 years of age. Chopin was never robust but craved sympathy for his music. Fear that the public would not appreciate his efforts caused Chopin to lead a retired life. At only 40 he died from 'tuber- culosis. , Miss Kearney concluded this, delight- ful study by playing one of Chopin’s compositions. A splendid paper written by Mrs. H Hugill on “Some Great Hymns” was read by Mrs. Glass. Eight beautiful and well-known hymns were mentioned with a synopsis of their authors. The meeting closed with “God Save the King”_ after whch a tasty lunch “‘i‘hat’s not crepe; "that’s the room- mate’s towel.” Is ibiii Mm déédl'f Out of Work New “My poor man, you have seen better “Why the blaclg crgpg 39 the door?
