Plans for improvements are being rapidly completed and work is expected to be underway within the next two months. Mr. Bull reports that all of these men have purchased with the expressed understanding that these sites have been acquired for the purpose of building a home for the use of the respective purchasers and is an assurance of the high quality of development that is to take place there.

Brilliant Young Pianist Plays at Winnetka School By R. L. P. A v.·ell organized program was given by George Seaberg, Chicago pianist, at the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall at Skokie school last Wednesday afternoon. Mr, Seaberg is a young pianist who plays with the poise of one \vho has been in the concert field game many years. He has a marked and personal talent which displayed itself as soon as he had played several measures of his first number, the "Rondo" from the Second Partita of Bach. And in the "Capriccio" from the same number, which followed, his playing was accurate and his fingers nimble. It was good Bach. Three Brahms waltzes were taken with ease, and given interpretations they deserved ; and a "Dance Caprice," by Grieg, delighted his several hundred hearers for its sheer beauty. In Niemann's "The Humming Bird," Mr. Seaberg was put to a more severe test, but there were never too many notes to keep him from giving a delicate sense of shading and lightness. It was a picture in swiftly changing color. His program was concluded with the F. Major Etude of Chopin, brilliantly done; and the C Sharp Minor Scherzo of Chopin, which he played with fine effect. Well-trained fingers, intelligently used, and clean pedalling made it Chopin playing of the first class. · 1 Included are the fine antiques remaining from our recent purchase of an Eastern buyer's collection!
