WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 Kenilworth Happenings Dr. and Mrs." Herbert Walker, 303 Cumnor road, gave a tea on Sunday eve- ning to meet Miss Jennie Johnston of Chicago who gave a most entertaining program of Christmas carols of earlier centuries and from all countries. Miss Johnston has spent years gathering to- gether these "carols,--some of which have never been published. It was a rare treat. --0-- Mr. F. E. M. Cole, 315 Cumnor road, retyrned Saturday from a business trip to New York. Mr. Cole while being denied the pleasure of spending Thanks- giving with his family had the great privilege and pleasure of dining with his father, Mr. William R. Cole, who is 84 years of age, at his residence in Pel- ham Manor, N. Y. ge Mrs. Rufus B. Stolp opened her home for the sale of fancy articles and silk lingerie made by Mrs. Tate and Mrs. Carltine Ellsworth on Wednesday afternoon. Famous Artist Designs 1923 Christmas Seals The Christmas Seal design for this year was executed by Rudolph Ruzicka, a native of Czecho-Slovakia, and an artist of international reputation. An art committee appointed by the Na- tional Tuberculosis association early in 1922 suggested Mr. Ruzicka as an artist of exceptional qualifications for work of this character. The member- ship of the committee includes a repre- sentative of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, a national expert on SOME SO-CALLED OPEN MINDS SHQULD | BECLOSED § FOR REPAIRS color printing, and the Art Director for Conde Nast, publisher of Vogue, Vanity Fair, House and Garden, etc. Mr. Ruzicka includes among his pat- rons some of the leading art collectors in this country. An exhibition of his work held at a prominent art gallery in New York a' few years ago aroused wide comment, and resulted in the sale of many of his most important works. In addition to his decorative designs in color, he is widely known for his wood cuts which have been exhibited in art galleries in leading cities of the United States and abroad. In the com- mercial field he has designed many of the illustrations on packages of popular food products including Dromedary Dates for which he recently made a new design. The Christmas Seal design for 1923 is a delightful illustration of, Mr. Ru- zicka's skill, both in technique and 'n ab.Iity to bring together all of the hap- pier symbols of Christmas within the limited space available. The sponsors of the seal hope that it will be genera!- ly acceptable to the public. They are not unmindful of the fact, however, tha. after all, the seal is simply a symbol of the great work it represents in the minds of its generous supporters.
