Elm Street 45 a ---- ED TH SH LINE The Travelers' Forum UBLISHED as a friendly link between the North Shore Line and its passengers, with a cheerful personality all its own, the North Shore Bulletin has become an interesting feature of North Shore travel in the eight years it has been in existence. Each month it appears in North Shore stations and trains, from Chicago to Milwaukee--and as quickly disappears More than 6,000 others, living throughout the country value the Bulletin sufficiently to have it mailed to their homes. There are stories on North Shore industries and activities, information on improvements made by the company and--most valuable of all --- the hun- dreds of letters a year received from passengers, as published monthly in the Bulletin. These letters represent expressions of thought on every subject dear to the commuter's heart, and mark the re- action of North Shore residents to every phase of current thought. The Bulletin has, indeed, become a forum of North Shore opinion. It is gratifying to find this North Shore opinion enthusiastically eager to compliment us on the type of transportation the North Shore Line is supplying.

Schmidt to Speak at Meeting Al meetinb of the civics and philanthropy department of the Winnetka Woman's club and the Winnetka League of Women Voters will be held at the club on the afternoon of March 19.

Mis Schmidt spent four months in Europe in 1921 visiting Ger- many, Czecho-Slovakia, and Austria. to Furope to remain 15 months. In August, 1922, she returned She visited England, France, and Germany, and just before sailing for the United States in November, 1923, she spent three weeks in the Ruhr and Rhineland. She has at- tended every Assembly of the League of Nations since 1921. Her attitude on the League is that of a student ready to admit the accomplishments as well as the shortcomings of the League. At the same time the effort is made to point out whatever there may be in the way of constructive thinking in Europe, both as regards the League and the general international situation. In all of her talks Miss Schmidt endeavors to show the relation between Europe and the United States, and to indicate methods of cooperation. Her subject on Thursday will be "The Swiss Assembly and the Geneva Protocol." This promises to be an exceptional meet- ing.

Cooney on Tuesday evening, | March 3, in the presence of the bride's | family and a few intimate frinds. Mr. and Mrs. Cooney will make their home in Miami. Or A wedding of interest to Chicago and north shore society is that which will take place in Cambridge, Mass., on March 28, at the residence of Dr. Samuel W. Stratton, when Charles Henry Fargo of Evanston will marry Miss Gwendo- lyn Hart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Russell Hart of Boston.

Cook at her home, 1426 Asbury ave- nue, Evanston. Miss Lucy P. Wil- kinson, who was at Vassar at the time of the recent total eclipse of the sun, will tell of her visit there. ---- Elsie Earle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.

Her mother, who has also been ill at the hospital with grippe, has returned to her home. --O-- Mr. and Mrs. Heyliger A. deWindt returned Monday to their home on Chestnut street after a week's trip which included their stay in Wash- ington, where they witnessed the in- auguration ceremonies, and a visit in Philadelphia. Eat al Mrs. William A. Stewart, 620 Cherry street, entertained 12 guests last Saturday in celebration of the eightieth birthday of her husband's mother, Mrs. W. J. Stewart. --0-- Mrs. Halph Hobart, 660 Prospect Mrs. James P. Fleming, 787 Foxdale avenue, is leaving tomorrow evening for a week's visit in Pittsburgh. I Mr. and Mrs. James Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Greeley, and Miss Margaret Furness composed a party of five who have recently returned from a month's cruise of the West Indies. They sailed from New York on the "Reliance," a regular ocean steamship, and after sail- ing along the coast of Florida, close enough to see the lights of Miami and Palm Beach, they journeyed onward to Cuba where they spent several days and had the opportunity of seeing the manu- facture of cigars and cigarets. Their journey then took them to Kingston, Jamaica, which is under English juris- diction. They took the mountain drive to New Castle, and visited the post of the Royal Engineers stationed at the top of the mountain. They then went to Panama and saw a boat pass through the Gatun Lock. The party was inter- ested in the tonnage rates for sending vessels through the canal a rate vary- ing from 75c to $1.25 per ton, depending upon the cargo. They learned that the boat they watched had to pay $4,000 to be pulled through the locks. They crossed the Isthmus and back by rail- road, and sailed from Panama for South America. The travelers were impressed by their first glimpses of the South American continent, with its high moun- tains forming a broken skyline. They landed at Cartagena, the port of Caracas, and journeyed from the port over the fine concrete boulevard that zig zags back and forth over the mountains. This road, although not yet completed, is considered quite a remarkable engin- eering feat. The extensive cultivation of bananas, and the dainty beauty of the bamboo foliage delighted the travel- ers. The next stop was at the Island of Trinidad. . From there they went to Martinique, the Virgin Islands, recently acquired by the United States, then to Porto Rico, Bermuda, and home. Martinique proved of great interest to the voyagers. It is a French island, still primitive in many respects. The in- habitants are still recovering from the disasirous effects of a volcanic eruption im 1902. The French women of the island entertained the travelers at a luncheon in a cathedral that is just now being reconstructed. Natives carrying their wares on their heads added to the picturesqueness of the island, where, as all through the West Indies, white people are 'rather scarce." Mr. and Mrs. Porter returned to their home on Thursday of last week. Mrs. Greeley returned Saturday, but her husband stopped in the East to visit his son and new daughter-in-law who are keeping house in Farmingham, Mass. pi Announcement is made of the mar- riage of Miss Frieda Eggert and Law- rence Yopp Kiefer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kiefer of 1301 Asbury avenue, which took place in Chicago January 21. ok avenue, was expected home Thurs- day evening from her stay at Brighton Beach, Fla.

Replogle and Miss Lillian Struggles at dinner Wednesday evening in honor of Miss Struggles' birthday. a --_-- Winnetka and Glencoe girls will be guests at the dance a group of four New Trier girls are giving Saturday evening, March 14, at the Kenilworth club.
