Her subject will be "The French Art of Story Telling." Mlle.

Young Artists Delight a Large Club Audience OSEPH BRINKMAN, pianist Rob- ert Quick, violinist, Robert Sanders, accompanist, gave a delightful pro- gram at the Winnetka Woman's club on Thursday afternoon, February 5, at 2:30 o'clock. The program consisted of the following numbers : 1 Sonata' A-major ....... Cesar Franck 17 Bourree. (Weldig) -..c.... Brinkman Minvette (Weidig) ........

TH RA ERE SR Dvorak-Kreisler These young artists did not come as strangers to Winnetka as they all appeared at the club last year and won many admirers. Since then they have both made great strides in their work. Mr. Brinkman was lauded by Ed- ward Moore in the Tribune after his appearance as soloist with the Chicago Symphony on December 4 and 5 of this season when he won "the most spontaneous, the most hearty, and the longest continued applause given to anv soloist of the season." Mr. Quick will appear with the or- chestra at the popular concert on February 26, in reward for winning first place in the violin contest held by the society of American musicians. The reputations of these two men as leaders among the young artists in Chicago had aroused the interest of the audience and their playing on Thursday more than came up to expectations. Mr. Quick played with a warm, rich tone and perfect intonation. His play- ing was mature and revealed a sense of exquisite refinement. Mr. Brinkman appeared both as composer and pianist. His composi- tions were highly interesting, partic- ularily to those familiar with the mod- ern idiom. Mr. Brinkman's selections afforded him an opportunity to dis- play his versatility as an interpreter. The Strauss Reverie revealed a beau- tiful singing tone and the difficult Rachmaninoff B flat prelude was played with a brilliancy of technique which proved him a pianist of the highest order. Mr. Sanders played excellent accom- paniments. The Neighbors Will Celebrate Birthday EBRUARY 19 is the birthday of the Kenilworth Woman's club. In ac- cordance with the annual custom, the occasion will be celebrated. A special program will be given by the club's own talent. The Neighbors Glee club will sing and Mrs. Edwin Hedrick will read some garden poems in recognition of Garden day which will also be observed at this time. Garden plots and plans will be dis- played and Mrs. John Vennema's models of garden seats and fountains will be on exhibition. An example of community gardening on a small scale will be demon- strated by the exhibit of a plot showing the arrangement of three adjoining back yards to form a harmonious unit. The club hopes to awaken an even greater interest in gardens and flowers so that more garden clubs may be organ- ized and the members have for their goal the improving and beautifying of the village. On Thursday of last week, Elmer L. Nygaard, superintendent of the Joseph Sears school, delighted his audience with his talk on "Art in the Schools." His talk was considered by many as one of the most charming in the history of club programs. Mr. Nygaard spoke in the absence of Dr. Nathaniel Butler who had been an- nounced as the speaker for February 5. Aubert Moritz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Moritz, 226 Warwick road, has returned to school at the University of Wisconsin after having spent the mid- vear vacation at home. Next Meeting of League Entirely Social Affair HE February meeting of the North Shore Catholic Woman's league will be held at the Winnetka Woman's club Monday afternoon, Feb- ruary 16, at 2:30 o'clock.

Enright of Glencoe, house chairman, has charge of the arrange- ments for this party.

Root, at the next regular meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club, Thursday afternoon, Feb- ruary 19, at 2:30 o'clock.

Carpenter of New Trier is in charge of the gym classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Howard school and the gym class- 's on Thursday and Friday nights at the Stolp school. He is conducting a young business and professional men's >lass every Monday night at the How- ard school gymnasium.

CHILDREN WILL AID NEAR EAST School children of tend a helping hand % during the week of Feb the annual Valentine offering 4 little ones in the state wil b&¥sent to the orphans in the Bible lands and refugee camps of Greece. All pupils in the public schools have been urged to contribute at least 17 cents, the cost of maintaining an or- phan for a day in a Near East Relief institution overseas. Last year $20,000 was the gift of the children in 1lli- nois to their less fortunate brothers and sisters in the desolate lands along the Mediterranean. Because of the urgent call for aid at this time, it is anticipated that the contribution this year will be much larger. The Near East Relief, in ad- dition to caring for the 60,000 orphans in Armenia, Syria, Palestine and Per- sia, is endeavoring to save 100,000 little ones in the refugee camps of Greece by providing one hot meal daily.
