WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923 13 Te -- Dog," "CalicoCat" Raggedy Ann, N Saturday, December 8, the day of the Toy Carnival given under the direction of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college, the beautiful halls of he Evanstton Wo- man's Club will become a Magic City, where boys and girls may find delight- ful entertainment, may be served with wholesome and delicious lunches, and may purchase simple and appropriate gifts for every member of the family. The Boulevard of Balloons, brilliant and bouyant, will lead to the Pixy Play- house, where piquant players will give pleasure in continuous performances throughout the gala day. At the Elfin Inn one may be served at noon time with wholesome hot lunches to suit giant appetites, and in the afternoon, with fragile ices from the Fairy Fountain. In Mother Goose Gallery one may ex- amine and purchase the best of books-- picture books, song books, story books, rhyme books, and scrap books, made and ready to make. Along Sugar Plum Street will grow trees bearing gay good- ies, beneath whose branches Ginger- bread Ducks will ride upon Chocolate Cookie Horses, and Lollypop Girls will stroll with Gum-drop Boys past cunning candy castles. In the Tower of Toys the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat "will wallow this way and tumble that" in what is very clearly "a terrible spat," while nearby Raggedy Ann and Petite Col- lette will swing peaceably in the Garden of Dolls. In the Baby Building one may buy everything that is pretty for Baby to wear and to play with, while Parents' Palace will display all sorts of pretty surprises for boys and girls to use in filling the stockings of Mother and Daddy and Grandmother,--with prices well within the powers of small purses. Children who wish a bit of fun be- fore going home and a souvenir of the merry day may visit Happiness Hall, where jolly amusements of all sorts and tiny novelty toys may be had for dimes and nickels. --Q-- ---- The home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Koch, 465 Spruce street, will be the scene of an informal wedding next Wednes- day afternoon, when their daughter, Erma will become the bride of Mr. Pater Lucchesi, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lucchesi, 677 Willow street.

Lovely Italian linens, woven house- hold novelties, hooked and braided rugs, painted toys and many other unique hand made articles are included in the shop's offerings. ---- The Winnetka Woman's Club will open its season with a luncheon on Oc- tober fourth.
