A. R. The Skokie Valley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion met on Monday afternoon, Octo- ber 29, at Mrs. George Kingsley's home, Cumnor road, Kenilworth with about twenty-five members present. It was the first regular meeting of the season. Mrs. Fannie Cope the regent, pre- sided. After the usual preliminary exercises and the reports of the of- ficers and committee chairmen pres- ent, the program of the afternoon was enjoyed. Mrs. Harold Ickes gave a most interesting and illuminating talk about the American Indian, telling the group especially about the Pueblo and the Navajo tribes. She has just re- cently arrived from the southwest, where she spends a part of each year, and where she has had ample oppor- tunity to study the traits, customs, aims, religion and habits of the In- dians. Mrs. Ickes has a very pleasing way of telling of this New Mexican coun- try and her listeners could vividly pic- ture the amethyst foothills, the un- dulating mesas, or the brilliant stars and vibrant skies. They saw' the | Mexican adobe huts hung with sacred corn of many colors or the picturesque fireplace forming an artistic corner in some quaint, characteristic, mud- floored living room. She told of the Indians' symbolic religion and their religious rites and dances, of their home life, their sleeping quarters, their baking ovens, their weaving and pot- tery industries and lastly something of the Government schools. It was a very fine program and very. much appreciated by the chapter. De- licious tea was served by the hostess. The next meeting will be on the fourth Monday in November, at Mrs. David DeCamp's home on Abbotts- ford road, Kenilworth. Mrs. LL. C. Bouchard, 222 Oxford road, Kenilworth, is entertaining a number of friends at luncheon at the Club Vista Del Lago Wednesday, November 7. PLEDGCED TO FRATERNITY Curtis C.
