·September 28, 1928 WILMETTE LIFE 15 ANNOUNCE MARRIAGE Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meier of Washington avenue announce the marriage of their daughter, Margaret, to Joe Rossberger on ~eptember 19, at St. Joseph's . church. · Music and Play on Program for Miaa Mary Scbopen W eda Raymond Nilles American Writers By R. L. P. .. I · .... t · ' A, tea party held in a "sunken garden" is a novelty, especially if the sunken garden happens to be a lowly basement on ordinary days. Mrs. Charles Holg, 250 Laurel.avenue, Wilmette, who entertained the Friends of MOTH EXTERMINATION American Writers on Wednescia\ Un1Terslt7 IIH afternoon, was forced by an unobliging weather man to transform· her basement into a garden. There seemed to be plen~y of room for the seventyodd guests and a · corner for the artists. and the informality established between them resulted in a delightfulEvanston Shop Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Evenings ly pleasant aftf'rnoon . Mrs. Holg's sister, Mrs. Nettie Bohr, who passed away two years ago, " ·a the founder of thi,; organization seven years ago. The Friends of American Writers haye been steadily growing and doing commendable work since its inception. Mrs: Carl R. Henrickson is pr\!sident, and she welcomed the ·EvANSTON-Orrington and Church CHICAGo-state and Jackson · group on \Vednf'sday. Miss Edith Salvi, harpist, and Miss Lillian Pringle, 'cellist, were the artists · of the occasion, opening the program I · with "Orange Blossoms," by Friml; and "Spanish Serenade," by Glazanov. This was followed by a harp solo, "Impromptu" by Schueker. Miss Pringle plays with firm, even bowing, and her tone is warm and me!low. Her interpretations are art~ s tically worked out. Miss Salvi gave her splendid support in the accompaniment . Miss Salvi's solo was particularly e11joyed, for she ha3 a sense of the poetry of the har_r>J and all her phrasing is gracefully accomplished. Mastery of the h~rp' 3 technique, and her own personality h1fused in htr numbers, is re sponsible for thi,; . A later group by Miss Pringle and Mi ss Salvi was composed of SaintSaens' "Le C\!rne"; Mendelssohn's "On ~Tin!:!"s o( Song"; and Poppe:·s' "Gavotte." Mrs. Florence Crocker Comfort, a member of the Friends of An&erican \Vriters, was the aut!lor of "The Sing- ! a-Song man," produced by the Jack 1 and Jill players under the direction of Marie Agnes Foley. The play was worked up . in a hurry for the occaIN OUR EVANSTON SHOP sion, most of the costumes having been hastjly put together Wednesday morning. None of thi3 was apparent, however, in the presentation of this channing- little play. The little actors played their roles intelligently, bringing out the whimsical touch that Mrs. Comfort intended. It was all about .a "Won't-Go-to-Bed-cr" child. whose · mother took her to see Dr. PaddyWhack for a cure. But. Dr. PaddyWhack only has such old fashioned remedies as medicine· for "Grumps or Growls," for the "Fidgets," and, most ~ horrific of all, a few paddles by Peter · Paddle. ] u~~ as he wa3 despairing of · curing the child, a Sing-a-Song man cu.mes in, singing a lullaby about floating on a boat, and flying with the birds, and he tell3 little Toddle Tot how one can travel by going to bed! H c is a very persuasive chap, and soon all the personified remedies and help ers of the doctor, at~d even Toddle Tot herself start singmg his song, and follow him away to slumberland. Among tho3c present was Mrs. H . B. Mitchell, who edited the writing' of her husbanc.t on early Chicago, and whose hook "Fragments of Early Chicago," is' now in Chicago book e stores.
