James Porter's paper on "The Greek Theatre," read before the Drama Study class of the Winnetka Woman's club on Monday afternoon, was delightful. It represented a most com- prehensive and painstaking study of the topic. Mrs. Porter has kindly consented to read "Oedipus Rex," a play to appear in Chicago this coming week, to a group of women who will meet on Monday afternoon, January 28, at 3 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, 529 Cedar street. Anyone who is interested will be most welcome.

The annual Circle rally on Tues-| The MacDowell Musical club of day, January 22, was voted a huge | Winnetka and the Evanston Music success by the capacity audience | Study club held a joint meeting at the which assembled in the new auditorium of Community House. In the opening number which was written especially for the occasion by Mrs. Burton At- wood, the seventeen Circle chairmen, led by Mrs. Childs, demonstrated in a song with words cleverly ar- ranged to the accompaniment of a well known tune, the plans and pur- poses of the organization. If there was any doubt as to the position in the community occupied by this organ- ization, it was dispelled by the whole- heartedness with which all those in- terested were received by the women present. The presentation of the one-act play "Neighbors," written by Zona Gale, and given by the Community Drama club, was very appropriate for the occasion, and there was a ready response in the hearts of the audience to the theme effectively brought out by the well chosen cast of actors. The story is of the application of the Gold- en Rule in every day life in our con- tact with those who make up the community in which we live. The play was followed by a recep- tion in the assembly room where each Circle served refreshments at attrac- tively decorated tables offering the op- portunity for a friendly chat over a cup of coffee with old friends and new acquaintances. The Winnetka Circles are to be congratulated, not only for their loyal co-operation in the successful termina- tion of the afternoon's program, but also for the never failing and tireless efforts on the part of Mrs. R. F. Childs, general chairman, who has given so generously of her time and thought in this work for the benefit of the women of this community. --0-- The Fireman's Masquerade Ball is be- ing held tonight in the Community House.
