10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 TENTH DISTRICT CLUBS URGED TO Winnetka Musicale Occasion of Open Meeting at Club HE music department of the Win- netka Woman's club announces that the joint recital by Joseph Brinkman, pianist, Robert Quick, violin- ist, and Robert Sanders, accompanist, on Thursday, February 5, will be an OPEN MEETING! Edward Moore of = the Chicago Tribune, stated in the December 6 edition of that paper. "The most spon- taneous, the most hearty, and the long- est continued applause given to any soloist of the season, fell to Joseph Brinkman when he appeared with the Chicago Symphony orchestra at Orches- tra hall last night, playing the Liszt Hungarian Fantasy. Fireworks started out from all over the keyboard under his fingers it is true, but he had more than virtuosity. He was able to give the piece an appearance of high manner and sentiment which one infers is what Liszt had in mind. When such qualities get into what is at first only a display piece, the player has gone beneath the surface. Mr. . Brinkman was loudly welcomed as having furnished the most attractive and persuasive solo appearance of the season, and he deserved it." Mr. Quick as winner of the contest for violinists held under the auspices of the American Society of Musicians will appear as soloist with the Orchestra in one of the February popular concerts. Mr. Sanders, who will accompany Mr. Quick, is a composer of great promise and has had a number of his composi- tions played in Chicago the past year. These young artists will give the following program at 2:30 o'clock: Sonata, "A major .........

Winnetka Woman's Club Explains Guest Rules HE Winnetka Woman's club held its regular meeting on Thursday, January 22. It was announced that the Chicago Woman's club was cooperating with several of the women's organizations to further the Child Labor problem and that Mr. Owen Lovejoy would speak at that club on January 29. Miss Matz made clear the ruling in regard to guests visiting the club. There will be two open meetings during the year, and each member may invite one resident guest to either of these meetings without fee. At all regular meetings members may invite one non-resident guest without fee and one resident upon payment of fee. It is understood that one living outside of the village limits is con- sidered non-resident. Mrs. William Hamm gave a splendid paper on some of the events which took place at the heeting of the Tenth Dis- trict clubs at Highland Park, January 20. Mrs. Norman Harris has a delightful program planned for February 5. Mrs. Homer Cotton will give three lectures on "Music Apreciation" before the Woman's Club of Wilmette. Notices will come later as to dates. Mrs. Frazer and her committee have a keen appreciation of the fine talent in the village and have been bringing to the club delightful programs prepared by "our own" women. The first one was given December 4, and 'the pro- gram for this meeting was given by Mrs. Preston Boyden who completely captivated her large audience. She gave a paper on "The Renaissance of Ameri- can Poetry." Mrs. Boyden has a com- plete understanding of the poets and discussed fearlessly the moderns. After much applause, she read one of her own very much worth while compositions. Tea was served by Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden, Mrs. Robert W. Anderson, Mrs. Mrs. Ralph Buck, Mrs. Montague Ferry, Mrs. Charles F. Harding and Mrs. John C. Markley. February 6, Day of Garden Club Meeting HE Garden Club of Wilmette holds its next meeting Friday, February 6, at the home of Mrs. C. P. Berg, 1320 Greenwood avenue.

ADOPT "BUDDY TABLES" Club Will Have Second Musicale HE first regular program of the coming month for the Woman's Club of Wilmette occurs February 4. The morning meeting at 11 o'clock is in charge of the civics department which announces that the talk will be on a subject of general interest. Luncheon will be served at 1 o'clock. The second musical on the calendar is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The Florentine Trio, to- gether with Helen Hedges, soprano, will give the program. The Trio, con- sisting of Margaret Conrad, violinist; Dr. Nathaniel Butler to Address "The Neighbors" HE Neighbors, the woman's club of Kenilworth, announces that its next meeting on February 3 will be a lecture by Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the University of Chicago who will speak on "Religion, Educa- tion and Democracy." Dr. Butler is well known on the north shore and with the mention the assurance of a splendid lecture. Those in attendance at the gather- ing of The Neighbors on January 22, when Dr. Abram Mendenhall gave a talk on "Quality in Bone China" de- clared the occasion one of the most fascinating and profitable in the club's history. of his name goes There was nothing of the formal lecture in the manner in which Dr. Mendenhall told of his intimate knowledge of the making of English bone China. His years of experience and his visits to the great potteries of England provided him with a wealth of information that embraced a far wider and more interesting field than the mere naming of his topic implied. He conveyed to his audience the worth of fine bone china. He described the differences in design and the out- standing features of the various well known makes of this ware, and he told of their influence in the carrying out of artistic decoration in the home. He stated that every bit of the output from the large bone china potteries in England was handmade. He gave a detailed account of its manufacture, how a special clay from England and Wales, no longer exported, combined with pulverized bone from the fore- legs of cattle from Argentina is com- bined to form 55 percent of the mix- ture that forms the body of the fin- ished product. Fourteen other ele- ments are then added to compose a foundation absolutely impervious to the absorption of the glaze, a condi- tion that gives this china its great strength and durability and distin- guishes it from other ware. He il- lustrated his point by placing a beau- tiful Minton plate on the floor and standing on it, to the amazement of his audience. He stated that the plate would bear a weight of 250 pounds without breaking. He related how the potters have be- come artists in their work through years of adept application to their especial task, how they put great care and pride in their work, and how art is expressed in the lovely colorings and designs peculiar to each make of bone China. Dr. Mendenhall"s charming person- ality delighted his audience and the club feels very grateful to him for the delightful afternoon. Hilda Hinricks, cellist; and Preston Graves, pianist, offers an exceptional combination of three concert artists whose ensemble and solo work ranks with the best. They are well known in Chicago and the Middle West. Helen Hedges, a young soprano of very great promise, has had her musical training in Chicago. Although one of the so-called "younger artists" Miss Hedges has received commendation from many world renowned musicians for whom she has sung. She appeared at the Blackstone theatre in recital some weeks ago and disclosed a voice of highly attractive quality, intelligently used. Frederick Schauwecker will ac- company Miss Hedges at the piano. Wilmette Women Urged to Sew for Orphanage LIL friends of the Lake Bluff Orphanage are invited to sew for its little children on the first and third Friday of February from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon at the Woman's Club of Wilmette. The phil- anthropy department of the club provides all materials, and a delightful luncheon is served at a very small cost. The sew- ing for the coming month is under the direction of Mrs. Willard H.
