14 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 Winnetka Woman Honored by Rock Island Railroad Mrs. Althea H. Stevens, 1063 Gage street, mother of Mrs. W. S. Hamm, 270 Scott avenue, was honor guest at a banquet this week given by of- ficials of the Rogk Island railroad in commemoration of the Fiftieth an- niversary of the establishment of the road. Mrs. Stevens was a passenger on the first Rock Island train on its maiden trip from Chicago to Joliet, fifty years ago Tuesday of this week. When she was 13 years of age she made the journey with an uncle. Tuesday, the president of the Rock Island railroad journeyed to Winnetka in his automobile, called for Mrs. Stevens and invited her to be the honor guest at the golden anniversary of the road. Mrs. Stevens again ne- gotiated the journey to Joliet on a Rock Island train but, this time, in the President's private car as his honored guest. Motion pictures were taken and later Mrs. Stevens was honor guest at a banquet. We Bachelors Plan to Keep the Judge in Mind Magistrate Otto Falk of Gross Point, made it an occasion when "a pleasant time was had by all," when tyo very embarrassed and exceedingiy nervous young persons tapped over so faintly on the portals of his home Monday evening. The v. e. and e. n. y. p. lost their embarrassment and assimilated great gobs of courage when the smile of surmounted, broad expanse of the genial magistrate crowded the en- trance. A few moments later Evange- line M. B. Koehn decided that she'd henceforth be known as Mrs. Reginald T. Richards and there was joy uncon- fined in the cosy home of the magis- trate. Eeggie and Evangeline are honey- mooning, who knows where. They hale from Chicago.
