Elliott, teacher in the Greek-American school for girls in Salonika will speak before the Wom- an's society of the Winnetka Congre- gational church at its next meeting, Wednesday, October 20. Miss Elliott will tell the story of the phenomenal growth of the school in which she teaches, which is a result of the world war conditions. When the allied army came into Salonika, the Thessalonica of Paul, and follow- ing the Smyrna disaster there was great demand for English teachers, and the school grew by leaps and bounds. Tt seems that Greek girls form the largest proportion of the students in the school, although some American and Creek refugees have been cared for at the school. Miss Elliott's talk will include the story of the making of the first desks. Soldiers stationed in the city made these desks out of the boxes kerosene tins were shipped in. And when the English soldiers withdrew from Sal- onika they left all of their remaining supplies, from beds to quinine to help the school along. Following the luncheon Dr. Ernest Bourner Allen of Pilgrim Congrega- tional church, of Oak Park will speak to the society. Dr. Allen who took a most interesting trip around the Medi- terranean and through the Holy Land, will speak on "World Friendship." The morning program will be devot- ed to sewing, with devotional exer- cises preceding lunch, in charge of Mrs. Charles Karnopp. Hospital Auxiliary to Give Bazaar This Month A sale offering varied attractions will be the St. Francis hospital bazaar giv- en at 355 Ridge avenue, Evanston, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 27, 28, 29 and 30.
