| | { a -------- Lill Gab in + \ t WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 | You Could Park This Auto in the Bath Tub Committee of Women to Direct School Library The Upper School library at the North Shore Country Day school is in the hands of a committee composed of Mrs. James Beardslee, chairman; Mrs. Laird Bell, Mrs. Lawrence Howe, Mrs. Joseph Riddle, and Mrs. F. Goddard Cheney. Mrs. Cheney is in turn leading a committee in charge of the grade li- braries of the lower school, insuring through her service on both committees, library efficiency and co-operation throughout the school. The idea of the committee is to de- velop in every way possible, good read- ing habits from the lowest grades through the high school, and to make cach child at home with the use of a library of books on all subjects. The Upper School library is in the Study hall and the Lower school libre ries in the grade rooms in the form of "cozy corners"--all as attractive as possible to the child doing reference work or the proud possessor of margins of time.

Graham, 446 Washington avenue, Glencoe, were held Monday af- ternon, November 19, from residence. Burial was at Oneida, New York.

A CORRECTION In a recent article in the Talk re- ferring to the regulations in regard to lights on motor vehicles, it was stated that one light at the front of a car would be sufficient. This, we hasten to correct, does not apply to cars in motion which are required to have two lights. Cars parked at night may be left with one light in the lamp farthest away from the curb- ing.

For friends whose respect and loyalty make striving toward an ideal worth while. For the satisfaction that comes of giving while for- getting the gift. For the glory of work and the joy of play. For adversities that give us a greater appreciation of the triumph of success. ne THANKSGIVING Re -- Et -- == = == mm = m= == == == mE = == = =m :r- E-- EE E----1 === == md Ee FEF == == = === === FE == == Ee = === === == == == == == Ee == === == = = === == == E-- = == === Ee == === = = == == == = == == = pn == m= mm == Ey EE = = === == = == mmm cs Improvement association at Community House, Monday evening, November 0.
