Louise Homer. According to those in charae, tickets may still be procured at the Winnetka State bank. It seems almost superftuous to attempt to describe the art of so great and well-known a singer as Mme. Homer, but the following excerpts from press notices will perhaps be found helpful. "Her voice is of the true contralto Wilmette's Sunday Evening qlub will enter upon the te11tll't!llu quality .with a depth and richness most unusual. . .......

Vandervoort, who visited the tomb of while the celebrated excavations were in progress, is . appear before the club in the course of the season to tell of his visit to Egypt and the Valley of the Kings. His lecture will be rendered the more interesting and realistic by illustrations and an exhibit of a rare collection of interesting objects made in the land of the Nile. Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, former United States Senator from Illinois, popularly characterized as the "whip of the senate" during the Democratic war administration, and regarded as one of the most brilliant orators in America, will be one of the speakers on this season's program.

Speakers on programs here also appear frequently appear at Chicago Sunday Evening club meetings in Orchestra hall and before the Evanston Forum, tw6 of the mo t widely known community f'nterpri.es in the United States. The e speakers are constantly in demand for public addresses and are brought to Wilmette laraely by virtue of t McClure's intimate acquain with leaders in the c lyceum field. CIM...... p c.-.. .

"For the benefit of new-comers, old timers, and residents in general," it is stated, "the committee desires to repeat that these dances are not conducted for profit but are intended primarily to aid the residents of Wilmette and vicinity to get and to keep better acquainted in an atmosphere of good fellowship and pleasant informality. "Many of our residents formed and built up their acquaintance and friendships with Wilmette people in this way, and the good work accomplished alons these lines during the past few years has convinced the committee that these dances should be rated as a valuable community asset. "At the first dance on October 7 the organization for the current season will be effected and the chairman and officers elected. "If you like to dance in a fine ballroom, with good music, good people, and in a good-fellowship atmosphere, reserve your Tuesday nights for these dances.
