10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1925 ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN'S CLUBS EMBRACE WIDE SPHERE North Shore Women Invited to Hear Dr. Yarros Speak N Friday morning, February 20, chairman and director of the Social Hygiene Council of the State of Illinois, will speak at the Wilmette Momen's club under the aus- pices of the Wilmette League of Women Voters, on Thursday, Feb- ruary 26, at 2:30 o'clock. Her subject will be "Some Phases of Social Hy- giene." Dr. Yarros is speaker of note as well as a practising physician, and in ad- dition to her position in the State Council, holds that of chairman of a like committee for the Illinois League of Women Voters. Those women who have been fortunate enough to hear her speak, will be glad of the oppor- tunity to listen to her message again, while those who have not heard her, are promised a talk of unusual inter- ! 'est. The meeting is open to all women of the north shore and it is hoped there will be a large attendance. Child Artist Will Appear in Recital NNOUNCEMENT is made of the piano recital to be given by our north shore child artist, Harriet B. Mason, formerly of Winnetka, and well known along the shore. She will Harriet B. Mason be presented by Karl Reckzeh on Sun- day afternoon, March 1, at 3 o'clock, at Lyon and Healy hall, Chicago. When Harriet had studied only one and a half years, she was chosen as piano soloist for the artist-children's programs at Ravinia Park. The Music News gave the following review of her work on one of these occasions: "Har- riet Mason walked away with an ova- tion for her dainty playing of 'Toy Soldier' by Warner and 'Bell Waltz' of Poldini, a fine combination for a group. Harriet is only nine, and has the poise of a veteran to say nothing of a very mature technique and unfailing good taste." Since that time she has been soloist with various clubs and with the sym- phony players at the concert of the German Choral societies. She is an untiring little worker with a bright future. Mr. Reckzel, it is stated, con- siders her progress so remarkable after only three years of study, that he is presenting her in this coming recital. Those who wish to hear her are in- vited to attend. The program she will play, follows: Bach-Reckzeh ....Concerto D major Rameau Theme and Variations Mozart, Concerto (3rd Mov.)

Boynton of the University of Chicago who eliminated all feeling of delivering a formal lecture when he talked in an informal and friendly manner on "Changing Ideals in Amer- ican Patriotism," at the club meeting on Thursday afternoon. He traced the change that has come about through five wars, beginning with the Revolu- tion and including the World War. Miss Pauline Manchester, talented daughter of one of the club members, played the following piano selections most charmingly: "The Nocturne in F sharp Major" by Chopin, and "The First Move- ment of the Tragica Sonata" by Mac- Dowell. She graciously responded to the applause with an encore, "Scherzo in E Minor" by Mendelssohn. Mrs. Albert O. Olson and Mrs. Fred Patton made interesting reports on the two day session of the Illinois Women's Joint Legislative Forum held in the Con- gress hotel February 6 and 7. Within five days the following births were announced : to Mrs. Andrews Allen, a daughter, Katherine Elisabeth; Janu- ary 12, to Mrs. Stewart W. Purdy, a son, Stewart Webster, Jr., and January 16, to Mrs. Charles A. Saxby, a daugh- ter, Mary Serene. At the club meeting on Thursday, the following resolution, offered by the chair- man of the civics committee, and endorsed by the board of directors for the con- sideration of the members at the meet- ing on February 12, 1925, was unanimous- ly passed, "Whereas, Mental and physical de- generacy, as well as sex crime, is in- creasing in Illinois to an alarming extent, and "Whereas, Protective laws for the sterilization of sex criminals and men- tally defective have been enacted, with marked benefit to both the individual and the community, in ten of our States. therefore: "Be it resolved, That we, the members of the Woman's Library Club of Glen- coe do hereby petition the State Legis- lature of Illinois to enact a bill for the sterilization of defectives, insane, epilep- tics and criminals, confined in our Stalé Institutions, embodying in such law the best in similar laws passed by the State of Wisconsin and California."
