8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 YOUNG ARTISTS DELIGHT CLUB Women Provide Season's Final Program The musical program presented at the home of Mrs. Asa B. Cooley, 1258 Scott avenue, on Monday evening, was most skillfully executed and enthusiastically received. The occasion was the closing meeting of the Winnetka Music club, formerly the MacDowell Musical club of Winnetka. The artists were Marta Milinowski, pianist, Wally Heymar, violinist, and Bessie Andrus, soprano. The accom- panist for Miss Heymar was Cordelia Schellinger and for Miss Andrus, Mrs. Andrus. The opening number, Cesar Franck's "Sonata for Piano and Violin", was played with remarkable technical ability and discriminating appreciation. The quality of tone produced by Miss Hey- mar was unusually pure and resonant. The second section of this sonata, Alle- gretto poco mosso, being more familiar, was probably liked more by the auditors, of whom there must have been, incident- ally well over 100. Meyerbeer's well known "Shadow Song" from "Dinorah," was flawlessly given by Miss Andrus, who, with sur- prising facility, executed the ornate pas- sages characteristic of this composition. Mrs. Andrus furnished an entirely ade- quate accompaniment. Whitfield's "In an Irish Jaunting Car," a piano number unique in its various rhythms and Celtic humor, was played by Miss Milinowski with a true sympathy and rollicking spirit. The pianist showed her versatility by presenting appropri- ately Chopin's "Nocturne in G Major" and a Spanish dance by Albeniz. Miss Andrus next sang "The Doll Song" from Offenbach's "Tales of Hoff- man." With her mechanical doll-like movements she delighted the assembled guests. In this connection the services of J. Williams Macy as official winder of the human doll must be noted. Miss Andrus followed this number with a very acceptable encore. The evening's violinist, Miss Heymar, closed the recital with four very inter- esting selections, ably assisted on the piano by Miss Schellinger. The writer of 'this review is not alone in wishing that the three young artists had pre- sented a much longer program. DANCING CLASS GIVES INTERESTING PROGRAM The accompanying program of the Community House Dancing class was presented under the direction of Miss Patricia Taylor, the instructor of the class. It marked the close of the work for the season and was attended by a large audience of parents and friends of the children who crowded the Rudolph Matz hall to view the performance. The children danced with unusual spirit and finish and there were many expressions of appreciation for the work of Miss Taylor, under whose direction the pupils have made marked progress. It is expected that there will be a heavy enrollment next season.

The report fol- lows : Number of volumes in the Tdbrary 50: ABA NA 14,974 Number of borrowers .... 3,793 Circulation of books for theswear 3.2.05 BL coal 48,808 During the year 827 books were added to the library by purchase and 40 by gift. According to the 1924 school census there are 9981 residents in the village, a little more than one-third of whom are holders of library cards entitling them to take books from the library. The average number of books read by each card holder was 12.8, a little more than a book a month. Each book in the library had an average circulation of 3.2 times. While this record is a notable one, still it is evi- dent that the library is not being used by as many of the residents of Win- netka as it should be. The library is supported by and the joint property of all the residents of the village and it is the aim of the library board to have its facilities so well known that it will be utilized much more than it is at present. Roofing Expert Returns From Winter in Florida Howard S. Board, well known in Wilmette business circles for several years, has returned to the village after an extended sojourn in Florida and is now associated with the local offices of the Ajax Asphalt Shingle company. Mr. Board represented the Richard- son company on the West Coast dur- ing the winter season. He was for- merly with the Parnell Roofing com- pany and has directed the re-roofing of some of the most beautiful homes on the north shore. F. J. WEIDLING CO.
