10 ' WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1923 y TM Lamp «"2ARAH THE CRUEL' By Joan Conquest A story of unrequited love between Zarah, the beautiful, impassioned, tem- peramental and cruel daughter of an Arab bandit chief, and a cold English adventurer, who is devoted to one of his own race. The story is founded on a legend, centuries old, of a mysterious river which rises abruptly out of the sround for a brief space in a small group of mountains in the center oi the desert, and disappears with equal sud- denness. This oasis is surrounded by treacherous quicksands over which there is only one narrow and safe path, and forms the stronghold of the Arab ban- dits. R. T. Huntington. "VOICES" By George J. Brenn To Warren Wilmer, internationally known financier, of New York, mysteri- ous voices came over the telephone a dozen times or more a day. They fol- lowed him wherever he went--his office, his home, his club, a friend's office-- nowhere was he immune from these sin- ister calls. There were guttural Ger- man voices, voices in broken Italian, cultured English voices, slangy East Side American voices, young voices; old voices, and they all carried the same threat. Wilmer's two business partners also heard them, but on Wilmer they produced a more terrifying effect. He could not eat. He could not sleep. Fin- ally he called upon Reeves, the presi- dent oi the telephone company, and de- manded that he find a way to stop the persecution. The action all takes place within forty-eight hours, and the ending comes as a great surprise. : R. T. Huntington. "LADY ROSE WEIGALL" - By Rachel Weigall To those who like memoirs, especially of the Victorian Age, this book affords anecdotes and reminiscences of the great and near great. Gladstone, Jenny Lind, Bismark, Mendelssohn, Disraeli pass through its pages. Perhaps thé most in- teresting part of the book is the corres- pondence between Lady Rose Weigall and her friends in Germany, Admiral 'Van Eisenderher and H. R. H., the 'Grand Duchess of Baden, during the war. Rachel Shipman. "AS 1 'WAS SAYING" ge By Horace J. Bridges In the early essays, Mr. Bridges is- cusses such divergent writers "and -phil- 'osophers as Mark Twain, Samuel But- ler, George Eliot, Sir Thomas Browne and George Tyrell. The second half of the book is devoted to some of the cos- mic question marks: spiritualism, the 'movement for Christian unity, and the 'gospel of despair. versus the creed of "faith. The sturdy and challenging in- dependence of Mr. Bridges gives-sparkle to his inquiries and reflections. He re- serves the right to cross-examine both Freud and James Harvey Robinson. The essays on Samuel Butler.:and "the tyr- anny of books" are magnificent. The charm of the book is the charm of good conversation. It doesn't sputter with epigram. The meditations seem to spring serenely from a full heart and a full mind. M. Lincoln Shuster. Copyright 1923, Howard H. Seward REAL NEWS : Make an experiment.

Heavy Deerfield Team Defeats N. T. Eleven New Trier's football team battled valiantly against the powerful and heavy Deerfield squad Saturday, only to suffer the short end of a 21 to 0 score. The local boys held the upper north shore lads to a lone touchdown in the first half, but gave way to the enemy's superior strength in the last half. At one time the Deerfield backs were stopped on New Trier's two foot line. New Trier displayed some offensive power early in the second period when it started on its own 11 yard line and swept down the field on short dashes -- $1,175.00 1107 Chicago Avenue WILLYS-KNIGHT--OVERLAND | F.
