"I think the Talk is the most ef- fective advertising medium to reach the majority of the residents of the community." E. B. Taylor, proprietor of E. B. Taylor and company, a progressive hardware establishment at 546 Center street, is "a man of few words." That is to say, he adheres closely to the type. Says little, and yet says much, in the litile that be says. E. B. Taylor It is difficult to get a fat paragraph out of Mr. Taylor. It is the few terse sentences that count. Above are the reasons why Mr. Tay- lor is a consistent Talk advertiser. Whatever the season, a Taylor Hard- ware ad is to be found in the Talk. As with most other Winnetka mer- chants, it is not, with Mr. Taylor, a question of advertising, but rather the selection of a good medium. He has selected the Talk. Another "Why He Advertises" statement will be found in the Talk next week. Do not fail to read these interesting comments. School Ships 500 Toys To Crippled Children More than 300 toys, made by the Jhildren in the Wilmette public schools were shipped to the Chicago Crippled Children's hospital this week. For more than three weeks the entire school has been co-operating in this Christmas work. | Buy Those Xmas Seals It Is Not Too Late to It is essential that every Christ- mas shopper remember that the season for the purchase of Red Cross Christmas season is not over until after Christmas Day. That is to say, the very last parcel, letter or post card sent at this Christmas time should bear Red Cross Christmas seals. When you buy Christmas seals you automatically become a soldier in the great army of those who are engaged in the terrific battle of stamping out tuberculosis here and thorugout the country. Christmas seals purchased in this village swell the funds of the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, and help the Grosse Point Health Cen- ter right here on the north shore. Be generous with your purchases of Red Cross Christmas seals. If you desire to contribute in a larger measure, there are the Health Bonds to be purchased at from 5 to 15 dollars, The banks, drug stores, depart- ment stores and the public schools have Christmas seals and Health bonds for sale.

WOODROW WILSON FUND SUBSCRIBED "The many subscribers to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation in Win- netka, Hubbard Woods and at Indian Hill will be gratified to learn," says Mrs. Horace K. Tenney, Winnetka chairman of the fund, "that word has been received from Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Chairman, of the completion of the million dollar fund. "The National committee has been anxious to complete this fund so that announcement of it might be made to President Wilson on his sixty-sixth birthday, which occurs on December 28." It will be recalled that the purpose of the fund is to provide awards from time to time tec Americans who have rendered distinguished service to their country in civilian channels, or who have furthered the cause. of in- ternational peace. The committee undertook to raise a fund of one million dollars or more for this purpose, to serve as a perma- nent endowment fund. Winnetka, un- der the leadership of a committee of which Mrs. Tenney was chairman, made a liberal contribution to this fund. December 28 will be observed as Woodrow Wilson Day throughout the country by suitable ceremonies. Book Reviews By John Philip Morris The book reviewer is beginning to be obliged to follow the French de- tective and find the woman. Surely, this fall at least, the laurel is to the ladies. The Judge, One of Ours and now Anna Severn and the Fieldings are certainly the best books of the season and those men who live by literature need be up and writing. Miss May Sinclair's new book is fully as good as anything she has written, than which there can be no higher praise. As always she passes fiesh and with her pen for a wand makes it vanish like mist so that we see the stripped souls. A man's actions are, of course, the reactions of his thoughts and each of those thoughts is in turn the child of those that has proceeded it and so back to the very beginning, not of each man but of the first man. Miss Sinclair's method is to take a group of people and show us how the thoughts of each reacts on the thoughts of others and is in turn | formed and driven by a current that flows forward inevitably Her people are neither heirs to the sins of the ages as well as to their blessings. Kim's Lama well knew that there are no such liars as our bodies and Miss Sinclair shows us the struggle of the true soul against these liars. But again her greatness lies more in the sweet sanity and simplicity of our style than in any special force of plot or situation. This is as it should be for are there not only forty pos- sible plots and is it not in the present- ation that praise is earned or lost? Those who through their own seek- ing or at my poor suggestion read and enjoyed Harriet Frean will want to read Anne Severn, those that do not yet know the work of Miss Sin- clair should not let her latest book, at least, remain unread. If you have read The Judge you may be interested in a little story about it which is not generally known. In the wonderful first part of the book there are ever and ancn references to one Rebecca, a friend of Ellen's. Rebecca, in the story, goes to Lon- don to become an actress. There she drops out of Ellen's life and Miss West's narrative and we do not hear how very bad an actress she made and how one doy she was found weeping by another girl in the com- pany. Rebecca explained that she had just gotten "the sack" and that she might as well commite suicide as outside of acting there was nothing, no, absolutely nothing, in the whole wide world that she could do--except maybe she might try to write stories as she had had one accepted by some cheap magazine. The other girl, now a great star, suggested that she write then and so Rebecca was kicked out into literature to our great gain for it brought us The Return of the Sol- dier and The Judge. For Rebecca in the story was no other than the author herself. And some day if she has a turn for auto- biography, perhaps we will hear this all from Miss West herself. All this and many other things including how she grew up and became famous and what great men and women she met from King George to H. G. Wells and how they all, and Wells especially, impressed her.
