WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1925 RAVINIA BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE Few Weeks Remain Before Opening of Annual Sum- mer Opera Season ELECT NEW OFFICERS Town Chairmen Direct Sale of Subscriptions It is but a few weeks now until the Ravinia opera will be in full swing, with the most remarkable assemblage of stars that Louis Eckstein has ever gathered together. In the meantime, the chairmen of the north shore towns and their as- sistants are busily engaged in selling subscription books, and interest is in- creasing day by day as the season ap- proaches. Chamlee, who is one of the Ravinia singers for this season, was among the notable artists at Mrs. Harrison Riley's garden party Tuesday evening, after the North Shore Festival concert. He was therely passing through the city however, but will return in a short time to stay for the Ravinia season. Othér of the artists who will sing at Ravinia this summer are at present scattered about the world in various countriés, but Mr. Eckstein has a golden cord attached to each, and is in frequent :communication with _ his little flock. Many Stars in Europe Mme. Raisa is now at her villa near Verona, Mme. Pareto is singing in Spain, Mme. Bori is in Paris from whence she, as well as other Ravinia stars, will bring most gorgeous cos- tumes for their Ravinia roles. Mme. Sundelius, Mme. Maxwell, Mme. Al- OFFERS HINTS ANENT PARKING COURTESIES Conservation of parking space as an impoitaat ciep ia the betterment of local motoring conditions is being urged by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. Through greater efficiency in the use of available space, he says, it would be far easier to park cars in the downtown section of the city and everybody would be immediately aided. "A rule suggested by the American Automobile association should be valu- able to local motorists," Mr. Hayes ex- plains. "Don't leave your car until you are sure that you have not over- looked any opportunity to accom- modate another car. Sometimes your car will be the one that is in need of the spare space. Lack of familiarity with local ordinances is one reason for the present waste of available space. Too many drivers leave their cars too far away from street corners and fire hydrants. They want to play safe, but do not realize this feature is taken care of in the ordinances relating to such matters. They should find out just what the regulations are and then obey them, but not throw in a lot of good space for good measure and thereby inconvenience someone else in the bargain. "The most wasteful practice is the annoying habit of leaving the rear of the car a foot or two away from the curb. This is plain carelessness, and ought not to be tolerated any more than driving all over the road. The park- ing hog even goes so far as to cause others to inconvenience everybody while trying to make use of the spaces which would otherwise be easy to get into." Tourist in Paris Boosts Legion's Fund for Vets J.

"Persephone," Festival Note for Kindergartners "Persephone," loveliest of myths, gives promise of being the loveliest of festivals as interpreted by students of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college in their annual spring festival at the Evanston Country club Wednesday evening, June 3, and Thurs- day afternoon, June 4 The - myth, brought into being through the love of beauty in nature which enriched the lives of the ancient Greeks, portrays with exquisite grace the story of Persephone, interwoven with the varying moods of nature throughout the changing seasons. Through waving grain and ripened vineyard, down to the verge of the sea comes light-footed Persephone. She plays with the waves and the sea nymphs until suddenly Pluto appears and carries her off to brighten his dreary kingdom in the realms of night. Her mother, Demeter, searches in vain through the sear, barren earth until, guided by the spirit of the fountain, she seeks Helios, the Sun God amid the clouds and sunbeams. Helios tells Demeter where Persephone is to be found and sends Mercury, the mes- senger of the Gods, to bring her back to her mother. Before Demeter"s wondering eyes the brown, scorched earth begins to turn radiantly green. Seeking the cause of the miracle Demeter turns and beholds Mercury returning with Persephone. At her approach the flowers bloom, birds burst into song, all nature awakes, for spring has re- turned with Persephone.
