PRETZEL Babies, Friendly to Give North Shore young Street Fair Tomorrow People Favor Fall I Month for Wedding With the approach of fall and the time when everyone is about to ~ettle down from his or her vacation, many bride-elects have announced the plans, or the date at least, for their weddings. It does look as though September is beginning to be favored almost as · much as June for weddings. ~Hss Margaret Mac Lean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Albert Mac Lean, 924 Greenwood avenue, Wilmette, has set tl.!e date f~r her wedding to Charles Edwin Natl Q.f Mansfield Ohio, for September 5. She has chos~n her cousin, Mrs. William Palmer Winslow, formerly Virgi11~a Beymer of Evanston as her matron of honor, and for her bridesmaids, Mrs. Robert Frazier Lewis (Helen Bruch) of New Yo,rk City, Mrs. Edwin J. Cole (Kathryn Gardiner) of Highland Park, M!ss CIao r a Hinkley of t3uffalo, Mtss Louise Crawford of Emlent_on, Penn., Mrs. Ephriam Brown of Mansfield, Ohio, Mrs. Frank Stegeman, ] r., of Ft.

Mr. Nail's gr90111smen will be Lyall Merrill of Summitt, N. ]., Harvey Bushnell and Ephriam Brown of Mansfield, Witliam_Palmer Winslow of Evanston, George A. Mac Lean, John A. Mac Lean, Jr., William B. Ca·ste_rline and Robert Casterline of Wilmette. Miss Leota Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Jones of Rosedale avenue, Chicago, has chosen Saturday, August 25, for the . date of her wedding to Raymond J. Roth, son of Mr." and Mrs. J. D. Roth of 1124 Forest avenue, Wilmette. The ceremony will take place in the Ravenswood Methodist Episcopal church and Mr. and Mrs. Roth will receive for the young couple after the ceremony at their home in \Vilmette. Miss Dale Jones, the bride's sister, will be her maid of honor and the three bridesmaids will be Mi"~ Margaret Banford, Miss J ea11 Maxwell, and Miss _Milqred Hagen. The best man will be the brother of the groom, Laurence Roth, and the ushers will all be young men from the north shore, William Clore, Edward J. Richards, Keith Drake, Kenneth J(err, Lea Gilbert, and Charle·s Roth. Several parties will be given for the young people ending with the bachelor dinner and a bridge shower for the bride on Thursday, August 23. Miss Gertrude May Bleser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bleser of Glenview road, Wilmette, h~·s chosen September 20 as the date of her marria,ge to Clarence Martin Braun, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Braun of Evanston. She has not selected her attendants as yet. Many parties are being given for Mis·s Jessie Booth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jobn Peele Booth, 521 Sixth street, Wilmette. She will be married September 8 in her home to Frederick Ellis Hagen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Hagen of 1~7 Scot~ avenue," Winn~tka. Miss Lorna Doone Jackson, contralto of the Chicago Civic Opera company, again app~ared in o~e of the summ~r musi~ales at the Skokie Country club. Mal,lf of those who heard her la~t year were present on Sunday afternoon, August 12, when she ga;re the third of this season's programs, for they remembered that Miss Jack~on is not only good to hear but goq~ to look at, and that her artistry is unquestionable. Miss· Jackson's voice has deepened and grown richer since last year, and in the full-voiced phrases it showed a greater amount of power. This was quickly made evident in her ·o pening number, .. Stride la Vampa !" from II Trovatore, which you remember describes the burning of the Gypsy woman's mother. The famous organist of Notre Dame, Widor, was the composer of . the second number, "Non Credo," giving a French setting to a mysti~ poem of an oriental girl who doubted the divinity of Christ, until He made her blind father see. Miss Jackson's tones were delicately colored to follow the meaning of the word~. . and the dramatic note was well brought out. A tone poem by Maurice Ravel, "La Flute Enchante," followed, which was particularly enjoyed for its languorous bea~ty. The group closed with "Carnival." a brilliant picture of a mardigras, wliich won hearty applause. An encore was demanded, and Miss Jackson sang Sanderson's "Quiet," which please!! so must last year. It had the sustained rich tone that suited the wQrcjs ·so admiraply. Three moods of the Russian composen made up her third group, "The Skylark," by Gretchaninoff; "The Rose Enslaves the Nightingale," by Rimsky-Korsakoff; .and "Hopak," by Moussorgsky, all of which were interpreted appropriately. An amusing encore, "The Housewife's Lament .in the Springtime," and "By t.he Waters of Mivnetonka," were offered, the latter being especially well given. Miss Jackson would seem to have the makeup musically and emotionally to give ~t the right touch~ Her last group was composed of a variety of moods, Daniels' "The Song of the Persian Captive," Barnett's "The Singing Girl of Shan." Foster's "Dusk in June," Watts' "Wild Tears," and La Forge's "Into the ~ight." In all of them Miss Jackson showed a ·flexible voice that lent itself easily to the many different shadings. In response to the burst of applau~se bv the delighted audience, she gave "Habanera." the song th~ audience had waited impatiently for since the opef!ing of the program. Here was the irresistible charm of the immortal flirt, Carm~n, highly colored by Miss Jackson's own personality, and sung with the abandon it needs, b1.1t which few singers "get." An Andalusian folk song by Valverd~, "Clavelitos," brought tbe afternoon to a close. Miss Jackson was ·splendidly supported by Miss Violet Martens at the piano. Miss Ruth Stoker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dee A. · Stoker of 228 Myrtle strett, Winnetka, ha~ chosen September 14 as the date of her wedding. It wilf be at 8 :30 o'clock in her home. Miss Stoker has not announced her plans as she is away on a visit an.d will not return until September 1.
