"Donald Robertson, actor, manager, promoter of good drama, at present director of the Chicago Civic Theatre movement says of the afternoon speaker, 'Mrs. William E. Beazley revealed herself to me at once, in a play I was directing, as a trained artist with restful poise, exquisite variety, now wistful, now quie~ly comical, now pathetic, now commandmg. These are the necessities of an artist. She has them.' "Wednesday afternoon Mrs. B ~az ley will read a very clever comedy 'The Great Broxopt,' by A. A. Milne. The music will be given by Jaroslav Gons 'cellist with the Chicago Symphony or~ chestra. "This is certainly a .splendid program, one worthy of a Prestdent's day at our club." A or rhole bean ffee- Marian Roberta Givea lntereating Program MEETING of the Music department of the Winnetka Woman's club was held in the clubhouse on Thursday, March 27, at 3 o'clock. The chairman, Mr s. Norman Harris, announced that the next meeting of the club will occur on Thursday, April 24, when Mrs. James Ames will sing, and some violinst, whose name will be announced later, will play.

Miss Roberts included in her groups, two of her own compositions, "Prelude" in F minor, and "A Cat Dance," which were very interesting. The whole program was a most sati·factory one. At the conclusion of the program, tea was served in the parlors, with the following hostesses pouring: Mrs. R. Floyd Clinch, Mrs. Henry Tenney, Mrs. Preston Boyden, Mrs. W. H . King, Mrs. Arthur S.

A INOIS Women Sponsor a Rally Antedating Girls' Week NUMBER of women's clubs in the city, desirous of organizing successfully Girls' week, are sponsors for a woman's rally to be held in Chicago on Saturday morning, April 5, at 11 o'clock, at the Selwyn theatre, for the purpose of acquainting women with the aims of the movement and what it offers in carrying on welfare work for girls in all walks of life. Mrs. William E. Dever, Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. B. F. Langworthy of Winnetka, Miss Julia Lathrop, Dr. Julia Holmes Smith, Judge Mary Bartelme, M-cCulloch, Mrs. Catherine Waugh Miss Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Jacob Bauer Mrs. John Alden Carpenter, Miss Edna Foley, Mrs. Julias Rosenwald, and Mrs. Caroline Mcilvaine are among the prominent women who have been asked to give short talks at the rally. This idea of Girls' week is a development resulting from a meeting of the Chicago Council of Administrative women with the National Education association held early in March. A movement of like purpose in furthering welfare work among boys was started in 1920 by the New York C. Rotary club. It has increased in favor and has been so successful, that reports in 1923 show that Boys' week was observed in 608 cities all over the world with more than 5,000,000 boys participating. . Many clubs and organizations have felt that a similar week should be of benefit to girls, whatever their environment and walk in life. Mayor Dever, who has endorsed the plan, has proclaimed as Girls' week, April Z1 to 27. The aim of this week for girls will be " to stimulate the interest of club women in girls and the interest of girls in vocations; better provision for technical and vocational training for girls and provision for improved physical educa- A the relief work done by the league «<>f each Chicago and local newspaper Mrs. Theron Colton wiU take this op.among the disabled ex-service men and ·appearing either morning, afternoon, or portWJity, while the younasters of the women.
