WI'LME.TTE . 'LIFE harmonize with their surroundings. The grass in the foreground, where the winds of November had swept a partial clearing was a soft mellow green, and here at;d there in the grass lay a few brown leaves. For a b.ackgroung, behind the trees, rose the hpht yellow stucco wall of a neighbormg house, and above .the stucco wall, a pale grey sky so that ·the trees and the bushes sto~d out as if in silhouette.

Last week the Army and Navy ball given by the R. 0. T: C. of the Northwestern university at the Patten gymnasium was a huge success. It was attended by several hundred young people,.. the officers being in full uniform. The grand march was led at 10 o'clock by Catherine James and Lewis Horvath, Jr., cadet major of the Army unit, as leaders of the Army wing, and Madeline Walsh and George Creal, lieutenant-commander of the Naval unit, led the Navy wing. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with American flags. = The day before Thanksgiving, after a morning of busy preparation, I said to myself, "Now I am going to see a beautiful picture," and I drew aside the curtains at the casement window to look out at the far corner of the yard. It was beautiful. Two tall trees stood there, their bark almost black, bare and stark save for a scattering of brown leaves that clung to the upper branches of one, an oak. From one low limb hung a rustic house. Near the trees and on either side, were tall graceful bushes. with slender, light brown branches that were quite leafless. In the little nook thus made, was a · stone garden seat, reminder of Indian summer days when it was surrounded by a blaze of glory. About its base and back of it in the shrubbery, were great heaps of scattered leaves of the same light brown color as the bushes. Large stones of different shapes, some red brown, some grey, some buff in color, showing in the leaves, looked as if nature herself had placed them there, so well did they CHICAGO VASSAR CLUB The Chicago Vassar club will meet at the art institute next Saturday afternoon, Dec. 8, for a stereopticon lecture on "Autochrome Photography," to be given by Edward Renwick.
