Reinboth, 1015 Ash- land avenue, has just returned from a fortnight's stay with Mrs. Knapp at Rockford, Ill lof anyone attending Ravinia Ravinia's second week of enter- tainment began, blessed with one of the most perfect of days and in con- sequence thereof, both the afternoon concert and the evening performance were unusually well attended. Seated among the thousands of people on Sunday night, I wondered how many there were in the audi- ence who really appreciated the rare opportunities this sylvan retreat of- fers. There is nothing quite like Ravinia anywhere in the world. Slowly it has wedged its way into our hearts and minds until the of a Ravinialess summer would ap- pall us. ' Each season brings new features, planned for the comfort and enter- tainmetn of its patrons and this sea- son much has been done in that di- rection. The much needed and long desired elevation of seats and the re- moval of the unsightly wooden pil- lars is an improvement which has been made possible by the generosity of a few patrons, who have always shown the keenest interest in the park's welfare. Every seat is a good seat at Ravinia now and many a prayer of thankfulness will arise from the neck-strainers of seasons past for this added comfort. The management has also decided that children under fourteen years of age are to be allowed to attend the afternoon concerts for an ad- mission fee of twenty-five cents, providing they purchase and use the ticket before four o'clock. This ap- plies to all afternoon concerts ex- cepting Thursdays. Thursday after- noons is again the children's own and all children under fourteen have free access to the park and seats anywhere in the auditorium will be at their disposal and at the disposal the concert, without extra charge. The no re- served seat idea for children's day is another new feature. The Thursday afternoon concert program' will be planned with the idea of entertaining them and at the same time, developing their musical taste and the intermission will offer them, according to their desires, either a moving picture performance or light refreshment and dancing in the pavition: Mothers who have not heretofore done so, are earnestly re- quested to make a. particular effort to give their children the benefit of the opportunities offered. Due to a long established household custom, mothers usually devote Thursday afternoons to their little ones, so why not form the Ravinia habit. By doing so you are inculcating in your child a love for good music and wholesome entertainment, laying a foundation for the future which will be of lasting good. The one and only concert given in the evening takes place every Mon- day night. The programs are chosen with great care and most. beautifully rendered but so far this season the public has shown little interest. Mon- days are always off days to be sure but to those of us, who have at- tended, it has seemed such a pity, that such finished work, such ex- quisite playing should find so little appreciation. Friday afternoons are again Stu- dent-Artists' day and this week Miss Edna Kellogg and Miss Gertrude Weinstock will be the soloists. To- night Martha will be given, with Edith Mason in the title role and | Frances Ingram as Nancy, Orville Harold as Lionel and Henry Scott as Plunket and Wm. Schuster as Sir Tristam. Saturday afternoon the or- chestra is offering an unusually in- teresting program and Saturday night The Secret of Suzanne, Mr. Hage- mann conducting, with Caroline White as Suzanne, Morton Adkin as Count Gil and the incomparable Daddi as Sante. After that comes Traviata, Mr. Papi conducting, with Florence Macbeth as Violetta and Orville Harold as Alfredo. C.-A. S. Mrs. Charles Meyer and daughter, Elizabeth, left last week for the east. After leaving Elizabeth in a girls' camp in Vermont, Mrs. Meyer went to Pittsburgh, Pa., where she is visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCloud are visiting in Portsmouth, O.

The ; Misses Helen and Dorothy Dennett, 924 Elmwood avenue, are entertaining at a week-end house party at their summer cottage at Lake Katherine, Ill., this week.

Richard Taylor left last week for a two weeks' vacation in the Rocky Mountains.

It only remained to step inside, taste the home-made cookies and sip the tea to be entirely won over--then, the nicest of all--to find you had done one more good turn for the Red Cross, for which the plan was launched. il | There were tables decorated with bowls of old-fashioned garden flows ers all about the grounds and a buffet arranged just outside the teahouse, from which all the good things were served. The garden was open for visitors early in the afternoon and the visite ors were prompt in arriving, alse numerous. When 6 o'clock came they were still arriving in such numbers that closing hour was forgotten une til after dark. More than $500 was earned during the afternoon. The big blue teapot which swings over the gate will be hung in the en= trance to a different garden next Sunday, but those who found it this time will enjoy looking for it again. Among the young women who served were Miss Eleanor Elmer, Miss Jeannette Walker, Miss Helen Pittman, Miss Augusta Senger, Miss Louise Otis and Miss Leina Hough= teling. Miss Harriet Houghteling was in charge and Mrs. Donald Mc- Pherson is chairman. TTT mmmmm More News On the Next Page E. S. PARR 809 Elm St. Winnetka, Ill ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES.
