After a short talk by Mrs. Albert Olson, president of the Glencoe Woman's Library club, and by Mrs. W. L. Ballard, president of the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette, Mr. Paul Mallory sang a charming group of songs. The speaker of this occasion was the Rev. E. J. McGuinness, L.L. D., who in his splendid address, made a stirring appeal to the members to take a more active part in the civic affairs of the community, state, and nation. The birthday of their esteemed moderator falling on this day, made the occasion a suitable time for the club members to present him with a little token of appreciation for his interest in their work. Mrs. Frank Maloney, the former president of the league, who has devoted much time and energy to the work of the club, was also presented with a gift of appreciation, as she is leaving Winnetka to make her home in Virginia.
