Brigham Clyde M. Brigham, of Chicago, with C. W. Dunham, heating specialists, has purchased the "Model Home," erected at 430 Maple avenue, Winnetka, by E. T. Leonard, and will take possession of the structure September 1. The sale was made by Miss C. J. Hoey, of the North Shore Real Estate company, of 418 Linden avenue, Wilmette. This is the house which more than 500 people visited on the first Sun- day it was open for inspection, a few weeks ago, and where additional hun- dreds have called for a similar pur- pose since that time. It is of Spanish design and comprises many attractive features which entitle it to the distinc- tin of the "Model Home." Mr. Leonard, with whom H. G. Gleason is now associated under the firm name of The E. T. Leonard com- pany, with offices at 556 Center street, Winnetka, will begin at once the erec- tion of another six room Spanish type house at 811 Foxdale avenue, Winnet- ka. This house also will be typical Spanish in design, embracing approxi- mately the same features to be found in the Maple avenue house, with some additional points, and will be a two story structure instead of one. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Murbach, 775 Lincoln avenue, have been spending the past week visiting relatives and friends in Canada. Living Model SATURDAY August 14th 2:00 to 4:00 P. M. and at 7:30 to 9:00 P.

About two months ago she suffered a paralytic stroke from which she never recovered. Mrs. Falk was born in Valparaiso, Ind., but had been a resident of Wil- mette or the vicinity for the past thirty years. Justice Falk was well known on the north shore, having held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years. He was also the first secretary of the New Trier Commer- cial association, the forerunner of present Chambers of Commerce in Wilmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe. ; Mrs. Falk is survived by three sis- ters, Mrs. Boughen, of Chicago, Mrs. Haberle, of Wisconsin, and Mrs. Joseph Arnold, of Chicago. A fourth sister, Mrs. John Gottlieb, died last June. Miss Pavey's brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. William B.

Montgomery and their daughter, Marion, of Green Bay road, Hubbard Woods, have just returned from a month's trip with the Sierra club of California, spent 'camp- ing and hiking through the Yellow- stone. Superintendent Albright of the park personally directed the laying out of a most comprehensive route by trails far off the tourist roads, many of them animal trails over mountain ranges and through dense forests. Miss Marion Montgomery accom- panied four other girls and seven men, the most expert mountain climbers of the Sierra club, on an expedition to the Teton Mountains, forty miles to the south of the boundaries of Yellowstone park. This party scaled the Grand Teton, rated the most dangerous and difficult peak to climb in the United States. Grand Teton is about 14,000 feet high, the summit consisting of al- most perpendicular, jagged turrets and "chimneys." Only three other parties have succeeded in making the ascent to the summit. This fourth party, including Marion Montgomery, is the largest group to make a successful trip to the summit. Several other mountain peaks within the boundaries of the park were climbed by the members of the hiking party, and interesting views were ob- tained of wild games; a herd of twenty elk on Mt. Hancock, and occasional moose, while brown and black bears, with a grizzly here and there, were as plentiful as squirrels. During the last week of the tour of | the club, Superintendent Albright left for Glacier park, taking thirty of his rangers to fight the most serious out- break of forest fires ever known in Glacier. These fires were caused by lightning during frequent thunder storms. Glacier park v-as closed to tourists for several days until the most dangerous of the fires were under con- trol. Yellowstone park, however, has been wholly free so far from forest fires during this season. Miss Montgomery is now visiting at Lake Minnetonka, Minn., and will be home about September 1.
