EVEN NOW Running through all my hours and days On slim white sandaled feet, Trailing a garment spun of dreams, With gesture gently sweet, One figure charms my weary sense With rapture delicate-- The image of my old ideals, And faith, inviolate. --Ben Ray Redman, in The Forum Mr. and Mrs. Jonas H. Madsen of 548 Fir street, Winnetka, announce the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy Maud, to Howard Eugene Bowers of Wichita, Kansas.

THE LAKE SHORE PUBLISHING CO. 1225 CENTRAL AVENUE WILMETTE, ILLINOIS - - LLL LL LL LL LL LL LL Fr TEE ETI ae FLL LL REE EE EE] --- CEL EL Me LLL -. 'THE LITTLE MINISTER" FILM FOR NEXT FRIDAY Betty Compson, the new Paramount star, will be seen to fine advantage in *The Little Minister" a splendid picture produced by Penrhyn Stan- laws, at the Community House next Friday night. This capable star is charming as Laddy Babbie and she brings to the role the gypsy-like character which it demands. All who have read the novel by James M. Barrie, or seen the play in which Maude Adams scored so decisively several years ago, will be delighted with this picture. Miss Compson is ably supported by George Hackathorne as Gavin, the little minister, and Nigel Barrie as the hateful Captain Halliwell. The en- tire cast is beyond criticism and the settings showing the Thrums village, the manse, kirk and so on, are ad- mirable executed. Much credit is due the producer, Penrhyn Stanlaws, for a well sustained and artistically presented screen version of this fam- ous story. There will be thre shows, a matinee at 4 o'clock and two evening shows at 7:15 and 9 o'clock. Parent-Teacher Activities The Parent-Teacher assoclation of Greeley school held a large and in- teresting meeting Tuesday afternoon of this week. The parents visited the different grades following which they held conferences with the teach- ers. At 3 o'clock the group enjoyed a brief program in the Kindergarten rooms when Mrs. Von Ammon pre- sented several vocal numbers and Mr. Washburne outlined briefly the course in reading now being followed in the schools.
