WINNETKA TALK December 3, 1927 Noh Shore Children to Be Present at Peter Plump Day Peter Plump Debut Is League Benefit for Welfare Station BY JEAN TEN BROECK This morning undoubtedly will find quite a little group of north shore children, accompanied by mothers, or sisters, or grandmothers, or auats, or cousins, or nurses, or all of these, oa their way to the city to be among those present at the formal debut of Peter Plump, in a pantomine dance given during the Junior League performance of "Rose and the Ring" at the Harris theater. Many mothers and already know of the Infant Welfare station and the work it does. Others do not. It is one of the organizations in which the Chi- cago Junior league, many of whose members have been, and are, north shore girls, is interested. It 1s an organization in which every station of the Infant Welfare society of Chicago is interested. It is mostly supported by donations of children of the city and the north shore for the care and de- velopment of healthy babies, as its name implies. Children save their birthday pennies and send them in for the upkeep of this station, and it is hoped that in time enough income will be derived from this source to support Peter Plump entirely. The Chicago Junior league has outfitted the station charmingly, and is giving today's performance of its clever play as a benefit for Peter Plump and its little tots. Tickets for the production, which is a delight to every child and to every adult with something of the child still in his heart, are on sale at the box office of the Harris theatre. Miss Hazel Sharp of Chicago is drill- ing the pantomime, "Tempting Peter Plump," which concerns itself with an evil spirit trying with many delectable morsels to lure Peter Plump away from the teachings of an Infant Wel- fare nurse. His will is strong, how- ever, and in the end he receives his fitting reward. children Peter Plump Hostess for Hunt The Walter Wallace home at 815 Mount Pleasant road will be the meet- ing place Sunday eveaing for a crowd of Miss Virginia Wallace's friends, who will go out in cars for a treasure hunt.
