This fantasy, told in song and story, features Miss Margaret Graham Fitch of Kenilworth in the leading role, assisted by a chorus-of dancers, made up of daughters of prominent families in the neighboring towns. Miss Eloise Bedlan of Wilmette, will be the accompanist, and Helen Irene Southward and Mary Louise Owen of Kenilworth, will take prominent roles in the dancing. The following Kenilworth women are patronesses of the affair: Mesdames Edwin Hedrick, Victor C. Sanborn, V. K. Spicer, John P. Oleson, Charles T. Chandler, O. C. Owen and William B. Fitch. After the program there will be informal dancing in charge of | James Prentiss, Jr. & Monday, May 19, and will continue until Saturday, May 31. No soldier and sailor books will be sold this year, but all men in uniform will be admitted free, provided enough books of regular admission tickets are sold to equal the amount taken in last year on both the regular admission books and the soldier and sailor books. In other words, if each patron subscribes as much as he did last year, or more, he will not only have the use of all the tickets himself, but he will also make it possible for soldiers and sailors to attend Ravinia, free of charge. T CAMPAIGN for the selling of Ravinia tickets will begin \ 4 The friends of Mrs. Leon Carring- ton, formerly Miss Georgiana Ows- ley, will be glad to know that she is ning, in Evanston. Mrs. E. J.

Kloepfer of 392 Provident 'avenue, have taken the A Story-An Experience-A Treat Do vou serve the public--individuals--to the best of your ability---with the best goods? Do you ever become depressed--Do you care for a word of appreciation? Here is my experience: I figured there are over 500 families along the North Shore just comfortably able, but for various reasons, hes- itate about buying a Ford Car. A son or daughter, or even the mother in some cases, who has not as yet learned the value of money or how hard it was for the parents or hus- band to earn their present position, intimate or épenly ex- press themselves as being "above" the Ford Owner--False pride, the root of self deception ruling their lives, they buy or hanker for a big car to deceive their friends and them- selves, or (father pays the bills), I should worry. In an attempt to help these people, I called upon some of FEvanston's best--most substantial--wealthy families who own or are in a position to buy, Two, Five or $10,000.00 cars and yet prefer the Ford for their Personal Car. In asking permission to use their names, I received such complimentary remarks, congratulations and words of thanks that I was fairly "taken off my feet." Not a single hesitancy or refusal and such replies as this: "Thank you, the pleasure is mine--I1 can't say enough good for our Ford Car." "Surely--Thanks for the opportunity--I never use my big cars now--Our Ford Sedan is worth its weight in gold." "Thank you for the honor--If my Ford recommendation will help others to see the foolhardiness of heavy cars, please use my name twice." [f you sold Ford Cars, wouldn't that cheer you and drive away your "blues"? Ford owners can understand just how these wealthy owners feel about it. If you have not placed your order for a Ford car and hope to haye one later, vou can't let us hear irom you too soon. R. D. CUNNINGHAM Authorized Dealer The Rustle of Spring ........
