March 3, 1928 WINNETKA "TALK 13 Days of Lincoln Brought Back in | Story and Costume By V. H. L. Carl Sandburg gave one of his unique and individual types of pro- grams at the Kenilworth club last Fri- day evening, and Mrs. Walter Marx, as a member of 'the entertainment committee, lent a fanciful touch to the evening which was very lovely. Mr. Sandburg is a genius with broad, poetic vision. Some people like him very much, others, not at all, but it can be truly said that all who have read his story of the "Life of Abraham Lincoln," not only love it but recog- nize in it a work of real art and an entirely new type of biography, and so little in art is new. His program on Friday evening was to be about his Lincoln book and con- sisted mainly of readings from it. In order to create an atmosphere of har- mony and beauty and to take us, as "moderns," back to the early 60's or 70's, Mrs. Marx went to endless trou- ble and care to gather together cos- tumes of that period and when the members of the club reached the club rooms, they found there the oval pic- tures of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln to greet them, early American furniture about the rooms, which were lighted by the soft glow of the period lamps, and all about, charming girls and women in costumes of that day. There were the gracious matron in grey silk and vel- vet, Mrs. Benjamin Bisbee; the grande dame in rich black brocade and lace, Mrs. Marx; the petite young matron in lace and frills, Mrs. Frank Watt; the debutante in flowered challis, Mrs. Herbert Taylor; the young girls: in white taffeta, Miss Phoebe Hedrick, or in demure flowered silk, Miss Jean Marx; in the fluffy, ruffled dress, Miss Helen Taylor; in a plaid poplin, Miss Virginia Little; in the brown silk with velvet jacket buttoned up the entire front and the tight basque, Mrs. Harry Weese; and in the bride's costume of pure white, Mrs. H. S. Lovejoy of Janesville, Wisconsin. All were en- hanced with accessories and jewelry of the day, the brooches and earrings and the hairdress of each as carefully studied from the old fashioned Godey prints. It was a charming picture and, later, when the program closed and the guests moved back to the coffee tables, these "gracious ladies" served the dainty sandwiches or poured the coffee at the urns, Mr. Sandburg seemed to respond to the atmosphere and was in a lovely mood. His readings from the book were simply and graciously done, and the program had great dignity and beauty. He closed with a few spoken song pictures to which he, himself, fur- nished an accompaniment on his gui- tar, and these little snatches of poig- nant moments often told stories of great length and of deepest feeling. His last number was a bit from an unpubilshed poem about skyscrapers and city things and both in spirit and rhythm was typically Sandburgesque. The writer loved it and will await the entire poem with sincere anticipation. Mrs. Dwinnell Slater, formerly Pris- cilla Allen, arrived in Kenilworth from Boston last Thursday and she re- mained in Kenilworth for a day or two as the guest of her mother, Mrs. Leon Allen, Melrose avenue. On Saturday, Mr. Slater joined her and together with Mr. and Mrs. Allen they have gone to California for a month. . --0-- Mrs. John Rathbone left for New- ton, Towa, on Monday of this week to be gone ten days. Mrs. Rathbone visits her mother in Newton, which was formerly her home. Gives Lecture on Story of Uncle Tom's Cabin At the Friday Morning study class, under the direction of Professor Franklyn Bliss Snyder, of Northwest- ern university, Professor Snyder lec- tured upon that great American novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and gave a stir- ring and interesting story of Harriet Beecher Stowe, of her life and its hardships. He told of what a wonder- ful thing she did when she gave to the world this vision of slavery. After her large family was well on its way, and she was a woman of middle age, she produced this splendid piece of literature and book of inspiration. It was something of encouragement to his group of listeners. GOING ABROAD Miss Bernice Bulley of 220 Sheridan road, Kenilworth, in company with Miss Mary and Dorothy Neal of Ev- anston, is sailing on March 6, for an interesting trip through Europe.
