-. ·-- --------- BY R. L P. America as the melting pot of the nations is not a new theme, but it was treated in an interesting way in the pageant ·given last Friday evening at the Stolp school by the Young \\'omen's Missionary and Queen Esther Standard-Bearer societies of the Wilmette Methodist Episcopal church. An elaborate program was worked out by Miss Adelaide C. Jones, designed to give dramatic bits · to everyone in the societies and to some of the north shore artists, and to kindle anew the fire of loyalty in the hearts of American citizens and to strengthen a wann feeling of good . fellowship for those of other nations who come to this "land of plenty." A.-. . E... The ·evening was particularly en~ joyed by the capacity audience, judging from the frequent and enthusiastic applause, not only because "home folks" were acting, but also because they were doing a good job of it. Miss Winifred Mickey, pianist; Miss Effie James, violinist; and Miss Helen Stopka, 'cellist, played effective music for each scene. The pageant opened with the coming of the white man, announced by Miss Edna Davison, the "Watching Spirit" of America. After a picturesque dance by Indians whose native names are Bud Robinson, Wendell Keith, Walter Lindblad and Raymond Ickes, the p i 1g r i m chant, Mr. and Mrs. Harold G. Sperling of "Old H u n d r e d," was heard, and soon eight s a i 1o r - g i r I s in natty 135 Crescent drive, Glencoe, formerly uniforms invaded the Indian's terri- of Kenilworth, entertained at tea last ~ory, and their Captain, C.

The girls were Virginia Bullivant, Virginia Burgess, Luella Burrows, Marion Dennis, Lillie Mae Humphries; Caroline Schwarm, Lucy Stiles and Genevieve Tubbs. A quartet in the wings singing "Drink to me only with thine ~es," told the coming of England. The quartet was composed of Adelaide }ones, Florence Farrar, Elbert Herlocker and Mr. Smith, and the voices were beautifully blended. Ireland contributed six charming Irish maids in green frocks, Margaret Bickham. Doroa Burrows, Hazel Koll, Rhea Koll, Marion Nettleman, and Marcia Smith. When they had whisked gaily off, James Gunn, baritone, came on with some screamingly funny Harry Lauder songs, which he sang with the right amount of swagger. As for Scotland's scene, it introduced Hugh } arne son with a bagpipe, an instrument that was new to many in the audience.
