The pageant will be held at 3 o'clock in the after- noon, and the public is most cordially invited to attend. Plans for this year's frolic have not yet been made public, but, as before, the event will be in charge of Miss Leba Rosenthal, the director of organized play at the camp. There are 600 campers being entertained at Arden Shore this summer instead of 500 as in previous years. During last summer and the past winter, the old tents which housed the guests have been replaced by new screened cottages, and these different accom- modations have increased the housing capacity of the camp 20 per cent. There are more than 15 nationalities represented at the camp this summer. Children's Carnival Thrills Great Throng EVERAL scores of children from every village on the north shore turned Ravinia-wards Thursday afternoon to enjoy the annual Children's Carnival given by the Ravinia club at the music park. The carnival was given under the leadership of Miss Bertha Tles, director of the Chicago Civic Theatre of Chicago, under the auspices of the Drama League with the Civic Music association co-operating. The program, which was most elaborate, included a parade to start the events, folk songs and dances of the various nations, and the selling of favors by two young women from each town. The children who have been studying with Miss Iles in her work at the Municipal Pier participated in the program, as well as several of her older pupils who are now of college age. All north shore chil- dren who were in attendance marched in the parade, and the majority of them appeared in costume. Assisting Mrs Arthur R. Dean, the chairman of the Winnetka committee, were the Misses Betty Parker, Lois Truesdale, Margaret Stults, Mabel Anderson, Hazel Cooley, and Jean Markley, all of Here Yesterday Here Today Here Tomorrow INCE the motor industry began, each year has seen new makes of cars flash on the horizon only to disappear to be heard of no more. Un- fortunate purchasers left with "orphan cars" -- nowhere to look for service, for parts or for a satisfactory trade on the newest model. Cars that are 'here today." REO was here yesterday, back in the dim dawn of horseless carriages and down through the "top and windshield extra' period. REO today stands as "the gold standard of values" wherever motor cars are sold, a position secured through strong organization and ultra- engineering. And by the same token REO will be here to- morrow--and tomorrow--and tomorrow! REO EVANSTON COMPANY 1101 Chicago Ave. University 6194 "Buy--Where Service Is Handy" Hubbard Woods and Winnetka.
