Ch prio A RR 2] ot 32 WINNETKA TALK Christmas H Aidays Bring Holiday Affairs for Young Folk Make Long List BY JEAN TEN BROECK Impetuously, with their luggage pil- ing high in railway baggage rooms, they are coming home from schools and colleges, these boys and girls, young men and young women, of the north shore, for a season that is theirs. For them it is a time of happiness, for many older ones jt brings its happi- ness, its memories, its sadness. These older ones will have their holiday pleasures, but as we cull our items of the comings and goings, and the div- ersions of north shore residents, we find that the young people sweep to the center of the stage to hold it al- most in monopoly during the holiday period. For them we turn this column into a calendar today to give an re- sume, a record of the affairs for the end of this week and next that will so occupy the younger set that for man; families the gay vacation time will mean only flitting glimpses of sons and daughters. Some of these affairs have been chronicled earlier, others are new, but they are: Friday, December 21--Mr. and Mrs. C.

Richards are entertaining together at a dinner party before the Williams College Dramatic gh play Friday evening, December irl for Younger Set Cap and Bells Will Make N. S. Premiere . in Winnetka Friday Among the interesting events to take place during the holiday season will be the appearance of the Williams col- lege Cap and Bells players in their presentation of Galsworthy's "The Pigeon" at the North Shore Country Day school on the evening of Friday, December 28. In view of the variety and success of its past productions, Cap and Bells has won recognition as one of the leading college dramatic organizations, and for the first time in several years is making a tour of mid- western cities. The entire cast is composed of sea- soned actors who should give a del- ightful interpretation of this one of Galsworthy's lighter pieces. "The Pigeon" centers about the life of a Lon- don artist who has so allowed his tender sensibilities to be affected that he finds himself acting host to three outcasts who, though not unwilling to pluck the pigeon, are left essentially unchanged by his kindness. Gals- worthy finds in this circumstance op- portunity for satiring various kinds of social reform and for exposing with subtlety and impartiality the true na- tures of his characters. Under the capable direction of Ed- ward Donnelly, who appeared last year with Glenn Hunter in "Behold This Dreamer," Cap and Bells is able to present a finished production. There will be a dance after the per- formance. "Open House" Held Again at Boal Home Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Ayers Boal, with Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson, Mrs. Stewart John- son, and Mr. and Mrs. George B. Massey, will hold open house on Christmas afternoon at the Boal home at 701 Sheridan road. This, as well as the entertainment which the Boals give Christmas eve, for the children from Country Day school who sing carols, is a custom of several years' standing. Thomas and Stewart Boal are ex- pected to return today from Harvard to take part in the Christmas festivities and Mrs. Raymond Hardenbergh of Washington, D. C., will also be a holi- day guest at the Boal home. Ayers Boal, Jr., according to word the family has received is among those snow- bound at the Grenfell mission in Labrador where he is spending the year's leave of absence which he is taking from Dartmouth. Dinner Precedes Play Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Andrews and Mr. and Mrs. Hallett W. Thorne are entertaining at dinner prior to the Williams college play, "The Pigeon," to be given next Friday evening. The dinner will be given at Indian Hill club and will be in honor of Miss Leslie Thorne of New York who is the house- guest of her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Hallett Thorne for the holidays. To Give Dinner Party Mr. and Mrs. Philip W. Moore, 1031 Fishers lane, will be host and hostess at a large dinner party before the per- formance of "The Pigeon" by the Williams College Dramatic club Fri- day evening, December 28.
