A daY or two ag-o we walked through a little piece of 'vood' near the little town of BenThe Beauties senvi1.1e. The ground was thickly carpeted of Nature with flo"·ers - triltitlms. sprinJ:! beauties, hepatica~. Yiolets. adders-tongue; and the trees were r"eioicing- in their fresh green foliare . 1t was a sig-ht to res.t ore to normal the " ·orn ner\'es of city workers. In her cultured ~tate - nature is very often heautifut. .-\ \\·e11-1andscaped e-olf course is a. lo\·ely ~erne. The close clipped gras~y hills and hollow" offer the · eve manv a charming- Yie\L .-\ home on th-e border of such a delightful stretch of man-:made landscape is enviably located. Then, too. there are many private estates which attract and hold pleasantly the gaze of the chance wanderer. Nature unassisted can indeed present views that . man cannot improve upon, hut that is no rea . on why a garden may not afford a joy that wild nature is unable to do. 1f we can improve nature it is surely our priYilege to do so. If we have this intention we "·ill not nail signs on trees but rather on good stout stakes. A sjgn is useful. and it may be good-looking, but its general appearance doe . not harmonize with the 11atnral beauty of a tree. \Ye see no particular objection to digging up wild flo,Yers where they are growing in ahundance and in unvisited pots, hut it does not seem kind to pick and carry then1 in such a manner that they will soon die. ?\or does it seem thoughtftil of the happiness of others to lay bare a plot of ground that other people often take pleasure in beholding and visiting. \Yhen "'e can, let us help nature to become more beautiful; where we cannot, let us refrain from spoiling nature. We cannot do less than admire the straight speaking exhibited by the prec;;ident of the local orchestral ass.ociation in his final notice to tardy concert patrons. He puts it exactly this way: "This is the third written notice. If this third notice proves ineffective, the concerts will be abandoned." That's plain and short. The situation is clear. If the concerts are abandoned, these delinquents will be to blame. There's an engineer on an early southbound North \\'estern train ·who by his cheerful greetings evoke . equally cheerful · responses all the way to town. From where we sit on the west side of the front coach we cannot ee the engineer'. greetings, but we haYe no difficulty in seeing the responses. The responder is usually an attractive pedestrian of the fen1inine persuasion. The engineer must be Irish. There ·h as recently " beeti· 'issued a demand and a warning .of which the entire North Shore should be proud. It is the letter addressed to the. ReDivorce Politics publican . cand.idate for governorshtp of From Crime! Illinois, Louis L. Em1nerson, demanding that he publish a · perfectly clear, unambiguous statement of his position on the politics-crime situation, and warning hitn that if he attempts any compromise with ,the forces repudiated at the April primaries he will lose 200,000 suburban votes in the November elections. Thi'\ }PttPr was compo,ed. si~nPrl. and sent to 1fr.

Are yon going to Ravinia thi summer? This is not a suitahle question to ask of regular Ravinians. They will tell you that go, inp· to Ravinia is a habit, Going to and a very nleasant and prnfitahle habit.. ·Ravinia? \\'hen we read in the paper that Ra\·in1a was opening on June 23. we felt envious of those who were going to he on the Xorth ~hore during the summer and fortunately enough situated to be able to attend regu·larlv. :\Iere reading of the prospective program of stars, orchestras, operas, convinced us that the ~hore suburbs in July and August were good enough summer resorts for even the most particular. They· exert a magic effect. the names of Schipa. l\fartinelli, Bourskaya. Bori. Rethberg, Chamlee. One way of getting the maximum of enjoyment out of Ravinia at a minimum of expense is to take your best girl up to an afternoon concert, requesting her to bring along a lunch for two. Then after the afternoon concert, and the lunch eaten under the trees, get a good seat on the side henches, and spend the remaining time before the opening of the evening performance reading a couple of good books. one for her, the other for you. Five dollars will keep a little citY hov at Arden Shore for two -weeks. Tet; dollars will keep this little hoy and his mother at Arden Shore for two .w eeks. Twenty-five dollars will keep this little boY at :\rden Shore all summer. 1Ionev can ·do ,,·onderf ul things. · Spring is coming up this way. to be sure, but not in any great hurry.
