This question is often put to the men who have done it in the Twentieth century. Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed, of the University of Chicago, is the author of "The New Testament: An American Translation," which was published about a year ago. That this translation has been heatedly discussed, is well known. Do we know why it was written. or its sources? Have we determined from first-hand evidence where we stand with those who condemn or those who praise? The Chicago Tribune called the trans- lation "monkeying with the Bible Tampering with the King James version is chipping a cathedral." On the other hand, the New Repubic declared that "The English is so clear and simple that it deserves to take its place as a standard of Inglish as we speak it today." And the Wolrd's Work said that "It has a kind of atmosphere which is very re- markable for simplicity, for reverence, for something quite indefinable, which carries a great charm." Dr. Goodspeed is to lecture here on March 4, at the meeting of the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church. --(-- The Skokie Dance club gave a beau- tiful Valentine masquerade party at the Woman's club last Saturday night for 140 guests.

Valentine's Day they gave a party at the camp for the boys of to have their health improved through proper rest and nutritious food, and to learn to care for themselves. All but four of the 26 girls in the group went to Lake Bluff, taking with them a large supply of party "goodies" and a gorgeous red Valentine box so well filled, that each of the 37 boys visited the grounds, so the boys were more than delighted to act as hosts on a sightseeing ramble.

Mrs. Schevill is the wife of Fer- dinand Schevill, professor of modern history at the University of Chicago. She is well known in Chicago musical circles, and has made many successful professional appearances during the past years. In August she gave a lecture recital at Mandel hall, University of Chicago, in conjunction with Professor Schevill, on "Folk and Folk Songs of the He- brides." In November she appeared as soloist with the St. Louis Symphony orchestra, Rudolph Ganz, conducting, and in October she gave a recital at Fine Arts Recital hall, Chicago. Her press notices at that time were as fol- lows: Hackett, of the Post: "Mrs. Schevill has become an excellent singer. Her voice is a mezzo-soprano of full, warm timbre, ample volume, and with the tone firmly sustained. She tells the story with understand- ing." Edward Moore, Tribune; "Mrs. Schevill combined the antiquities of Carissimi and Boltegari with the mod- ernity of Castelnuovo-Tedesco in a single group in her song recital at the Fine Arts Recital hall last night, and bridged the gap with complete suc- cess." Rosenfeld, of the News; "Rich vocal quality, musical authority." Her- man Devries, American; "A perfect musician, a molder of melody, to whom her warm, well modulated voice, is a mere instrument for expression and not a major issue." Mrs. Schevill's program will be an- nounced later. Every club member may bring one guest. The hostesses will be the mem- bers of last year's and this year's music committeees: Mrs. Norman Har- ris, chairman, and Mrs. C. Colton Daughaday, Mrs. Rudolph Matz, Miss Augusta Fenger, Mrs. Charles Mor- dock, Mrs. Horace Tenney, Mrs. Dar- rell Boyd, and Mrs. Gilbert Scribner. ---- The first exhibit of the North Shore Art league to be given in Winnetka will be held at Community House from Feb- ruary 26 until March 4, inclusive, ac- cording to a recent announcement.
