W.. ~ to Unusual interest is attached to the program of the Wilmette Sunday Evening club for February Z6 when Miss Hadije Selma Ekrem, a Turk, will speak on tbe subject, .. Discarding the Veil in Turkey." Madam Edith Bidea~ Normelli will be the soloist this Sunday. Miss Ekrem, who is representative of the "'New Turkey/' is said to have a message of vital interest especially to the women of America. She is a member of one of the most distinguished families in Turkey. Her father, His Excellency Ali Ekrem Bey, was formerly governor of Jerusalem and of the Aegean Islands and is . now a professor in the University of Stamboul. Miss Ekrem has been through four wars, in one of which, when her father was governor of the Aagean, she was taken prisoner by .the Greeks. Since the. great war she has witnessed the rise of the new woman in Turkev. A press dispatch of August, 1925, reads: "Progressiveness among Turkish women is being applauded. The wearing of a hat instead of the onetime obligatory veil, was started by a Turkish girl, Hadije Selma Ekren1, who recently has been lecturing in the United States." l.eaderia TJao.aht Miss Ekrem is an outstanding leader in both thought and action· among the women of her day. "Her perfect knowledge of English, her keen sense of humor, her youth and earnestness, make her a most captivating speaker." And she is well qualified to interpret to American audiences exactly what is going on in her country, particularly regarding the renaissance of Turkish women, which is of great importance in Turkey today. During her ten years of studv at the American Preparatory school and college in Constantinople Miss Ekrem says that. "America dangled like a phantom haven before my storm-filled Her remoteness was alluring eyes. and around her I wove a lacework of ·romance. She was the land of liberty. of faultless people and government, a land whose streets were golden and whose air was as sparklin~ as the Zemzem wine promised in Paradise." GiYea View of America \Vith her keen Eastern mind she has come through the ordeal of disi11usionment, stronger and richer for her experien~e. "I fled to America with a child's belief in the impossible" . ' she says. "A menca taught me common sense, the difference between !deals and actuality. I had created the tdeal of a land which could not exist which if it could have existed, would have been savorless and dull. One comes out of such an experience either to a hell of self-satisfaction, where one is narrow-minded, prejudiced and Jrluttonous for material gain. or to a heav~n of doubt, where one stan-'s gropmg through the darkness of the world, in constant turmoil. but filled with the divine peace of doubt."

Nina Babcock Bailey, pianist and supervisor of music at the Country Day school in Winnetka, will be the soloist at the Young People's matinee concert Thursday afternoon in the New Trier auditorium. The sponsors of the Little Symphony orchestra programs count then11iellves 31 singularly fortunate in having secured Mr. Rabinof for next Thursday's concert. He has been hailed by leading critics throughout the country as a truet master of the violin. "What makes him interesting and important," says one critic, "is an acutely sensitive feeling for the inner beauty of music."
