A special feature is offered by WMAQ, Chicago Daily News, which is giving an exact reproduction of its broadcasting station. Several Winnetkans will be among those broadcasting over the microphone, a program of appeal to little folks and adults, although "grown-ups" are not permitted to be present unless accompanied by a child. At 10:30 o'clock, Georgene Faulkner, "The Story Telling Lady," and Mrs. Ford, who is in charge of the Wide Awake club, will entertain the youngsters. Mrs. Floy Little Bartlett will give two groups of her compositions for children. Mrs. Guy Stewart Bailey will sing Mrs. Bartlett's songs and Mrs. Everett Harris will assist in the accompaniments. It happens that this is "Black Cat" week in the art department of Field's, where cats of all sizes are on exhibition, and a basket of these fascinating animals will appear on the program during the singing of Mrs. Bartlett's song, "Kittens." A new swing for chil- dren will be one of the properties used in illustration of a song which Mrs. Bailey is to sing. Luncheon will be served at 11:45 ESTABLISHED OVER 30 YEARS F. I. B.
