November 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 75 3,000 VILLAGERS ROMP AT HALLOWEEN PARTY (Continued from page 1) Then there was an Italian with .a grind organ. The musical show was made fascin- ating by the barker who stood out in front yelling "Best show in the house. We don't begin until we £I1 up and when we fill up we go--and how! Step right this way, folks." The Punch and Judy show presented a never-failing appeal as did the dis- plays of magic. For the tiniest tots was the story telling group conducted in a quiet corner away from the noise and screams of bigger folk. When 10:30 o'clock came around every one of the three thousand was glad to eat ice-cream cones and go home to bed. . 3,000 Attend Frolic So ended a hilarious evening spent in the Community house, with nearly three thousand people kept out of mischief and having a better time than if they were out "raising Cain." The total cost to the Community center was less than two hundred dollars against the single item of four hundred dollars worth of slashed tires reported last year in one of the nearby villages. Due to a staff of enthusiastic committee workers headed by C. W. F. Davies, the entire village had more fun and did less damage than could be ex- pected from such a peppy crowd. The committee heads were as fol- lows :--Jack Anderson, gymnasium stunts; S. Bowles King, S. R. Logan, Eugene Rummler, refreshments; Bur- ton Atwood, motion pictures; Mrs. Glen Bull, decorations; Miss Alta Ga- han and Skokie Public school children, posters; Bob Doepel, chamber of hor- rors; Mrs. Thomas N. Brooks, grab bag; Charles J. Eastman, sleight of hand, Punch and Judy, and musical shows; Al Eckart, Capt. Kidd's Buc- caneers; Carroll Murphy, tickets; A. Lee Adams, special electrical sur- prises; Kathryn Flinn, witches; Wil- liam T. Wersted, volunteer police; George Walkey, grind organ; Tom Scott, bag-pipes;Fletcher Marsh, duck- ing for apples; Bill Fisher, house of mystery; Jessica West, story-telling; Mrs. Eloise W. Wortley, publicity. BACK FROM HONEYMOON Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wagner, whose marriage took place October 6, have returned from their wedding trip and are residing in Chicago. Mr. Wagner is the son of Mrs, Richard Wagner, Sr. of Wilmette and the brother of Fritz Wagner, Jr. of 384 Hawthorne lane and Mrs. O. J. Netterstrom of 855 Willow road.

Sunday Club Speaker ] Photo by Moffett Jane Addams, founder of Hull House, Chicago, and world renowned settlement worker, will address the Wilmette Sunday Evening club on November 4. Mrs. Mangan Pays Third Visit Here; Battles Policemen Mrs. Elizabeth Mangan, residing on County Line road, paid another visit to Winnetka early Monday morning, arriving shortly after midnight, park- ing her car on Sheridan road at Fuller ane, Officers J. H. Luensman and William Cazel constituted the reception com- mittee and Mrs. Mangan made the village a donation of $50.00 and also a little extra for costs, as suggested by Justice of the Peace R. E. Sinsheimer. The charge against Mrs. Mangan was that she was drunk and disorderly. The disorderly part of the charge came as a result of her actions when the officers suggested she go to the police station, to which she objected and against which she staged a regu- lar battle. This is Mrs. Mangan's third appear- ance in the village under similar con- ditions during the past two years. A real estate license law for Indiana will be urged at the coming session of the state legislature by the Indiana Real Estate Association, according to action taken by the Association at its annual convention just held at Gary. 808 Oak Street Highest Grade UPHOLSTERING Cabinet Work Drapery and Upholstery Fabrics We specialize in Antique Furniture Repairing and Refinishing Hair Mattresses and Springs Made to Order I H.
