Encouraged by the success of last year's monthly programs, a committee of the Drama Club has selected the casts for a number of interesting plays to be presented during the winter months. Realizing that there are those in the community who already have shown a desire to participate in some active way in community drama, the club has formed a new department to be known as the 'Winnetka Community Players. Under the guidance of the club it is hoped thus to provide an opportunity for the expression of a wide variety of dramatic talent. The cast for Monday evening will include Mrs. Walter Johnson, Mrs. Dwight Green, Mr. Eugene Rummler, Mr. Clarence Happ, and Mr. Charles Eastman. Mrs. Taliaferro Milton is directing the play. The unusual charm of the first lecture of Miss Myra Reynolds on "The Theater of the 18th Century", held at the Winnetka Wom- an's club last Thursday morning betokens a course which will be widely attended and greatly enjoyed. With authoritativeness, per- sonal charm, and a delicate sense of humor, Miss Reynolds makes her subject most fascinating. . She has generously offered to give four lectures for the regular course ticket. The subjects for the remaini ng three lectures are as follows: November 10, Settings and Stage Devices of the 18th Century, illustrated by stereopticon. November 17, Farquhar Wycherly, Congreve. December 1, The Beggar's Opera. Checks for the course tickets should be made payable to Mrs. E. E. Brown, 943 Oak street, Winnetka.

Crepe paper ladies came attended by dapper youths and old fashioned ladies with full skirt :and trains. There were many mysterious hap- 'penings as at all Hallowe'en parties and games for all.
