Ry E § arm pr 31, 1926 July WINNETKA TALK 27 Children's Frolic Brings Untold Joy to All Spectators Sunshine and a cool breeze were two of the most welcome guests at the Children's Midsummer Frolic given by the National Kindergarten and FEle- mentary college at Craigie Lea, Glen- coe, last Tuesday afternoon. Balloons and stories, songs and plays, ice cold lemonade and cunning little elves and brownies combined to make the Frolic a rare delight for many of the children of Evanston and the north shore. The picture of the spacious grounds with the happy, laughing groups of children beneath the great trees will not readily be for- gotten by any of the grown-ups who attended, and the floppy tar baby and clever Br'er Rabbit, the strutting cock with his gallant "Cock-a-doodle doo," the hound and the braying donkey and the Little Old Woman and her troublesome pig are friends for life of every boy and girl who watched them that afternoon. Miss Harriet Ling, Miss Mary Saxe and Miss Elizabeth Peabody of Ev- anston and Miss Gladys Huntley of Wilmette were included in the cast of twenty-two summer students who presented thz plays under the direc- tion of Miss Margaret Farrar, Miss Willmina Townes and Miss Laura Hooper. Alumnae and friends of the college took charge of the sale of tickets for the Frolic in the various centers: Miss Anna Murray in Evanston, Mrs. Percy Arden and Mrs. C. P. Dubbs in Wil- mette, Mrs. Theodore J. Coyne in Winnetka and Miss Ethel Parry in Glencoe. The afternoon's entertainment was given under the auspices of the alum- nae and members of the equipment committee of the governing board and proceeds will be used in the furnishing and equipment of the auditorium and gvmnasium of Harrison hall. The success of the Frolic was largely due to the contribution of the grounds of Craigie Lea by Mrs. Andrew Mac- Leish, and to the time and effort con- tributed by alumnae and friends and by the summer school students, who, in addition to costuming and present- ing the plays, made the attractive fa- vors sold to the children. --O-- Mrs. Charles C. Prest, who was the guest of her sister, Mrs, William B. Dale of 519 Ash street, for a month, returned to Hollywood Friday of last week. --O-- Mr. and Mrs. S. P.
