WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1923 t 1 i 1 { [Fee k=: Ret] Jo: ses LE Fe pe Loe Et geod fet [ie [20 8d Ee 344 l 441 | A Monolith of Beauty FTER critical study of the most attractive hotels in A America and Europe, the designers of The Orrington selected the Georgian order of Architecture. For richness combined with stately dignity, there is no order of architecture that could have been more appropriate or employed more effectively for Fvanston's most beautiful hotel. The mellow white of Indiana limestone and soft coloring of rough red brick blend the elegant lines of The Orrington into a monolith of beauty--a home in which anyone might well be proud to live. As the hotel progresses, those who view it cannot help but agree that the two years spent in the study and preparation of plans before a single sod was turned, have indeed been time well spent.

Park, 379 Jackson ave- nue, Glencoe, has chosen the evening of Saturday, June second, as the date of her marriage to Elisha Gray Stubbs, son of Mrs. William C. Stubbs of Highland Park. The ser- vice will be read in the Glencoe Un- ion church, the Rev. D. H. Cornell, pastor, officiating. There will be a small reception at the family residence following the ceremony. ---- The program given last Thursday eve- ning, at the Wilmette Woman's club, by Helen Ley and George Swigart, pu- pils of Marguerite Fitzgerald and Wini- fred Townsend was, as one music lover among the many in the large and en- thusiastic audience, said, "a truly artis- tic affair," commencing with the D Minor Veracini Sonata for violin and piano and played with astonishing fine interpretation for such youthful artists, down to the Mendelssohn G minor con- certo, which little Helen Ley played with a well developed technique, elasticity of wrist, smooth runs and fine shading al- most. incredible in one so young. Her | two groups of shorter numbers, among them the difficult Liszt Gnomereigen and the Leschetizky: arrangement for the left '| hand only of the Lucia Sextette, were given equally well. George Swigart showed a poise and fine position many older musicians might copy. He exhibited a lovely singing tone in the De Beriot concerto N. 7, 1st movement, and in the Hauser Hun- garian rhapsody gave an astonishing staccato run in the cadenza. In these as well as all his short numbers he dis- played good bowing, adequate technique, and fleet fingers. Estelle Swigart played most of the accompaniments for her brother, with accuracy, and a fine sense of rhythm. A program given by the entire class is announced for Friday evening, May 111, at the Wilmette Woman's club.
