In the instance of the Woman's club of Wilmette and the Woman's Library Club of Glencoe the tickets have been sold on a commission basis, and the proceeds have been di- rected into the building fund of each club.

Practical Lecture on Home Decoration NE of the most practical talks of the season was given at the Wom- "an's Club of Wilmette by Walter Murray, decorative advisor to O. W. Richardson & Company, on Wednesday afternoon, April 15, at 2 o'clock, who gave a lecture demonstration fellowed by a question box, in which he answered many of the problems which arise in the domestic life of the average woman. Mr. Murray showed the women present how to make their homes attractive by using simple furniture in interesting ar- rangements and adding the necessary features that distinguish the home with personality from that which is ordinary and uninteresting. The speaker said, "Too many of our homes show absolute- Iy no individuality. This can be gained by introducing distinctive color, unusual lamps, bits of pottery that have been picked up in travel and in general the things that are not found in every home. Have fewer pieces of furniture but of better quality. Do not imitate your meighbors. Do not use pretentious things in simple homes. The keynote of suc- cess in this matter is in the fact that in simplicity lies the greatest beauty." A careful consideration was given to wall and floor coverings, followed by a discussion of draperies, their choice and making. After this Mr. Murray dis- cussed the choice of furniture and its use in the modern home. All these subjects were illustrated with actual materials, such as rugs, curtainings, and various kinds of furniture, thus making the lec- ture extremely practical. Mr. Murray summed up his talk by saying, "Since very few women can dis- pense with all their old furnishings, we must find ways of combining the old with the new, and-after all, it is wot a difficult thing to do. I am a firm be- liever in the doctrine of simple things that are beautiful, rather than elaborate and pretentious materials that do not have quality to them. In these demon- strations I have gathered together at least a dozen ways in which the average home can be given that distinctive indi- vidual touch which every woman loves."

LOVE IN A MAD HOUSE The two young men who are in love with the girl in "The Monster," Roland West's Metro-Goldwyn picture, cer- tainly have a tough time trying to get her alone enough to whisper sweet nothings. They are all prisoners in a sanitar'um run by a maniacial doctor, and each moment seems as if it were to be the last on earth. Imagine making love to a girl when at any time there may pop into the room a Caliban-like person with a horrible spiked blungeon, or a walk- ing skeleton, or the fierce doctor, or just plain nut, or the whole bunch to- gether! It keeps the two boys, Johnny Arthur and Hallam Cooley, pretty busy trying to make love to Gertrude Olmstead. Order NOW!
