Boyden and Mrs. Stephen A. Foster are giving a tea-dance on Wednesday, December 28, from 4 to 7 o'clock, at the Ambassador, for Miss Margaret Boyden and Miss Rachel Foster, who will be home from Bryn Mawr for the Christmas holidays. Mrs. Robert B. Gregory and Miss . J. L. Floyd have sent out cards ask- ing their friends to hear Miss Muriel Valentine of Soissons tell of the work she and her fellow laborers have ac- complished in the reconstruction work in the Department of the Aisne. This includes some of the most dev- astated regions in the war zone-- Rheims, and the Chemin des Dames right up to the famous Hindenburg line. 7 Miss Valentine has worked in France for over three years and has been decorated with the Croix de guerre. The American Committee has given all sorts of relief to the returned peasant--house furnishings, medical care, looking after children, forming co-operative building societies, pur- chasing tractors for farm use, and establishing the little libraries the French asked for, where, as they said, "the young could gain courage and hope, the old, comfort and forgetful- ness." Only five per cent of the homes have been definitely rebuilt, forty- nine per cent ane temporarily re- paired, and the rest of the inhabi- tants are living in corners of their old homes, in abandoned quarries and and cinder heaps. Mrs. Gregory and Mr. Turnley Lightner visited part of these regions last summer and saw these quarters! which did not seem habitable for human beings. Yet Miss Valentine | told them of a peasant who, in being asked why he did not take other arable land which the Government would give him, replied: "Madam, we have lived here seven hundred years." ; The lecture is to be illustrated by! moving pictures. The public is cor- dially invited to come to the Elm street auditorium on Monday even-| ing, Decembmer 5, at eight o'clock. Mrs. R. E. Durham, of Winnetka, Mrs. Gregory's daughter, and Mrs. Andrew MacLeish of Glencoe, are leaders of a group of women in the north shore villages who are greatly interested in this work.

Brackett Bishop will open! her beautiful home at 4329 Drexel; boulevard, Chicago, for an entertain- ment to be given under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union.

A particular feature of the sale will be the elaborate leather goods booth, where leather things for men may be purchased very much below | cost. There is always a big question in one's mind as to what to purchase for the men folks in the family for birthdays and Christmas, and right here is a wonderful opportunity to, make an excellent selection. That! these articles may be sold very much below the wholesale price is made possible through the interest of a loval Glengables friend. A nice selection of Christmas cards have been put in as well as booths containing fancy baskets, table run- ners, handkerchiefs, and general utilities. ; The proceeds of these sales will be used in paying the incurred expense for the decorations and improvements 'made this summer and fall on the building. ---- On Friday evening, December 2, the Forty Club will give a dancing party ! given in our next issue.

In his re cent picture, "I'he I.ove Special", he added a locomotive to the list and in the automobile race picture im- mediately following, he drove a fast racing car around the track at a speed of a hundred and ten miles per hour. In "The Hell Diggers", his late pic= ture written by Byron Morgan, which will be shown. at the Community House, next Friday evening, the star operates one of the most unusual machines in the world -- the giant dredger which is used to pan the pre- cious metal from the earth in North- ern California. On this occasion, however, he was unable to make more than half a mile a day. This lack ot pep in the speed of the big machine, however, is more than compensated for by a thrilling fight when the dredger is converted into a floating fortress and which it is up to the faction headed by Mr. Reid to storm and capture, and by many other unusual scenes and situations. : I wear swell dresses to the party; The girls and boys all call me Smarly.
