WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1921 EE LL LE CELLO LT le . 1 & Winnetka Hubbard Woods. = by Ruth Risley 2, wf Pel Social Happenings TUT il Rr TT i i en ag Tae ine ll ri G S i a inns ested Nei oS LOUISA MAY ALCOTT PRATT, great niece of the gi noted novelist, whose name, Louisa May Alcott, she bears, is to be the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Lowell % ) Copeland, 180 Linden street, for the next fortnight or longer. Miss Pratt, who makes her home in the very same little house on Main street, in Concord, Mass., where Miss Alcott re- sided and where she had her many inspirations for "Little Women", and "Little Men", will accompany Miss Elizabeth S. Copeland, from the east, where the latter has been attending a boarding school in Boston, arriving here on Wednesday of next week. More than likely many of you remember those famous old characters, in "Little Women", Meg, Amy, Jo and Beth, and so it will surely be of interest to know that Miss Pratt's own grand- mother, was characterized as "Meg," and that her mother was the "Amy" of story Bookland. & An attractive, though quiet home wedding was solemnized on Thursday evening of last week, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Shoemaker, 188 Myrtle street, when Miss Hazel Shoe- maker, youngest sister of Mr. Shoemaker, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Shoemaker of Los Angles, Cal., became the bride of Francis Farl Heath of Kansas City. Rev. Francis C. Stifler of the Baptist church of Wilmette, performed the ceremony at eight o'clock.

Mrs. Rathbone was the principal speaker at the luncheon given by the Citien's Committee of the Chicago Grand Opera company at the Union League club Tuesday. She main- tained that in establishing our own Grand Opera organization, we can advertise to the world that Chicago's cultural achievements are not the least of its advantages. Mrs. Rath- bone, who is, herself, a musician of high repute, is well known in Chi- cago musical circles, and has the rec- ord of having given concerts at most of the cantonments during the war. She is an ardent advocate of bringing the price of grand opera within the reach of the masses and the great body of musical students who come here to study. "Opera must be for all, not for the few, if we would look for musical growth and development in America." was the keynote of her argument. Today the Citizen's committee be- gins an intensive drive for pledges of guarantors. So far, we owe our opera to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCormick, and it is unreasonable to expect a few individ- uals to carry the burden single hand- ed. It is up to the citizens of Chi- cago to maintain its opera and it is with this project in view that the Cit- izen's committee is working to ob- tain five hundred guarantors who will be asked for only their pro rata share of any deficit. Under the able management of Mr. George Spangler of Kenilworth, the business manager, there is every expectation that this deficit will be minimum. . A Another delightful program has been arranged for the Children's af- ternoon at Ravinia Park, on Thurs- day, July 7. It will include an in- terpretation by Mr. and Mrs. Marx Oberndorfer, and a group of dance numbers by the Van Vlissingen Dan- sers, under the direction of Jean Van Vlissingen.
