ARH 32 WINNETKA TALK January 15, 1927 \ TR Bla News of the North Shore Clubs lai Change Place for Next Book Talk Re-Arrange Plans for Merrill Lecture Sponsored by Catholic League The next of the book talks given by Mrs. Anthony French Merrill and sponsored by the North Shore Catho- lic Woman's league is planned for February 3. Due to a change in plans, the lecture will not be held where originally planned, but at the home of Mrs. W. A. Kittermaster of 816 Bluff street, Glencoe. Mrs. Grace Coulter of Chicago ad- dressed the members of the North Shore Catholic Woman's league at its regular monthly meeting, Tuesday, January 11, in the Assembly room of the Winnetka Woman's club, at 2:30 o'clock. Miss Coulter is the daughter of a professor at the University of Chi- cago, and with her father, made a trip 'through China two years ago. Pro- fessor Coulter was sent by the Rocke- feller foundation to promote friendly feelings and understanding between the two countries, and to study the Shatons and habits of the Chinese peo- ple. Miss Coulter did not attempt to ex- plain the present condition of China, its warring sections, and its troubles, but dwelt on the people as she and her father grew to know them. She feels that primarily the Chinese are a peace- loving people. After becoming used to the natural differences, she feels that they are one of the most amiable of races. They are not money-grabbing, nor are they chiefly interested in ma- terial gain. The western civilization has taught them bad habits, but those who have not become inured with the mercenary spirit are delightfully peaceful. Following this talk, Mrs. Sidney Beach, a member of the league, gave a program of songs, accompanied by Miss Black of Glencoe. She included in her program several folk and legend songs, taken from the Finnish and Latavian races.
