ER pe WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1921 9 35 Achivities oF | - | } >) HE Woman's club of Wilmette has arranged a most delight- &5) ful program for its all-day meeting on next Wednesday. | At eleven o'clock in the morning Mrs. Harold B. Maryott | will give the last of her lectures, under the direction of the Music department, the subject this time to be the opera "Louise". Luncheon will be served at one o'clock, and then at two-thirty, the: afternoon program will be resumed. Rev. George Craig Stewart, rector of St. Luke's church in Evanston, is to be the speaker and he has chosen to talk on "Robert Burns and Scottish Poetry". Being a Scotchman himself and having a wide' reputa- tion as an eloquent speaker on art and literary subjects, one 'is assured that he will be able to handle his subject very aptly. Dr. Stewart served as a chaplain over in France during the war, and many of us remember his vivid description of life in the trenches and the horrors of battle. Another feature of the afternoon will be the annual appearance of Miss Mary Welch, contralto, a favorite among all music lovers, and since Dr. Stewart is to talk about the Scotch, Miss Welch has hinted that she may include some Scotch songs in her program, per- haps even, some of Robert Burns' own poetry, set to music. As many of you know, Miss Welch is the soloist at the Con- gregational church morning services this winter. Taken all in all, next Wednesday promises to be a most interest- ing day at the Woman's club. o Miss Mary Welch been taken from old tapestries, thus taking one back to the mediaeval times.
