One-Eyed Squirrel Babe Fares Badly In Big, Wide World "And so, girls and boys, you see that one should never go out to see the big, wide world with only one eye open!" Such might be I' envoi to the bed- time story dramatized last week by an infant squirrel which tried to leave its parental abode at the age of a few days and with only one eye yet opened. The plot begins with a too curious young squirrel peeping over the edge of its tree-top abode at the world of men and affairs. Its single eye, gazing on a universe strange and fascinating, led it to seek a closer view. It tumbled earthvard to a fortunately felineless section and began prowling about the lawn at 1024 Central avenue. But fools and infant squirrels will have their guardian angels about, and soon the rodent prodigy was safely in the charge of a friendly woman. At- tempts to feed it with milk failed utterly. It squeaked and whimpered, either through hunger or pique, that it had but one eye with which to view the world. After feeding failed, a cigar box was tacked high on the tree trunk from which young Bushytail had fallen and he was placed therein, his wanderlust subdued. He spent a bad night of it, what with the reek of cigars stinging his sensitive nose and the cold night unmitigated by the presence of warm parents. The next day, Mother Squirrel dis- covered her offspring after a frantic search of the entire neighborhood. In- stantly she took him in her mouth, and the last that was seen of young Bushy- tail was his departure, only his scrubby tail visible as he was borne back to the tree-top home. The incident closed with a chatter of parental castigations on the folly and wildness of modern youth. The Temple club will meet Tuesday, September 16, for a regular meeting followed, as usual, by a social hour, with refreshments and dancing. A large attendance is desired for the first fall session. Peter Pan Girls Promise to Panic Our Dance Public Accustomed to providing novelties in the way of entertainment, Frint George, impressario of the Radio-Stars-In- Person diversion, promises to hand his north shore following a most unusual, but, withal, delightful wallop when his Peter Pan Girls, a girls' dance orchestra directed by a girl makes its first public appearance at the Evanston Country club the evenings of September 22, 23 and 24. The Peter Pans will, of course, be accompanied by a large group of expert entertainers who have been engaged by Mr. George to stage benefit perform- ances for the Evanston Civic band fund. Evanston merchants who are spon- soring the civic band report a steady sale of tickets and three crowded nights are in prospect. But, getting back to the Peter Pan girls. They're a complete "panic", and one doesn't have to take Frint George's word for that, because those who have heard the fair musicians are authority for the statement that they will be unable to fill the demands for their services when the dancing season resumes. They have already been booked for several engagements, including some of the most notable dance events on the north shore, and they're tuned up to put over a riot of syncopation from the "kick off". Oh yes, they have been playing for the radio public. Listen in for them and judge for yourselves. Dr. Stansell Home from Extended European Trip Dr. Gilbert Stansell, pastor of the Wilmette Parish Methodist church, returned to the parish last Saturday after a two months' visit in Europe where he attended a great inter-de- ncminational church conference at Copenhagen, Denmark. Dr. Stansell stopped at West Mans- field, O., on his way back to Wilmette, and from there was accompanied by Mrs. Stansell and their children, who "24 been spending the summer in the Ohio city. The pastor will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist church this Sunday. Readers of WiLMe™E LiFe have been interested in recent weeks to hear of Dr. Stansell"s experiences in Europe through articles that have appeared from time to time in these columns. Susan M.

EAC RL William Locke PR rn Wath Barry Benefield Te visiaininie natin ann t Willa Cather RAVINIA ENDS IN FLOURISH Opera Potpourri Given on Final Evening The first act of Madame Butterfly, three acts of Manon, and the garden scene from Don Pasquale comprised the final program of the 1925 Ravinia opera season last night. A record audience was in attendance. ; Rosa Raisa sang the role with Martinelli as Pinkerton for the first time this season and Rimini as Sharp- less also for the first time. Suzuki sung by Ina Bourskaya and Zoro by Paltrinieri repeated the successes of earlier appearances. The duet by Raisa and Martinelli, closing the first act, was one of the most favorably received numbers of the evening's pro- gram. Lucrezia Bori, Tito Schipa, Leon Rothier, Defrere and D'Angelo re- peated the second and third acts of Massenet's charming version of Pre- vost"s Manon Lescaut. Lucrezia Bori as Manon and Tito Schipa as Chevalier were recalled again and again. Lucrezia Bori and Schipa, who sang the leads in the garden scene of Don Pasquale and in the second scene of Act Two with the chorus were also well received. Papi conducted wtih his usual brilliance. Ina Bourskaya sang the title role in Carmen on Sunday evening with Ar- mand Tokatyan as Don Jose, who con- stituted the surprise of the program with his unusually fine acting. Capping the events of the evening was the sing- ing of the beautiful air Micaela by Marie Sundelius.

C. baseball team showed vrhat fighting spirit could do to a baseball game when they played the O'Shay Indians to a standstill last Monday. The O'Shays are leading the Industrial league in Chicago, having lost only one game this summer, but the Winnetka boys showed them the "farmers" could play ball. Coming in- to the ninth inning three runs behind the Winnetkans uncovered the old war clubs and before the O'Shays knew what was going on, pushed two runs over the plate and had the winning runs on second and third bases. Unfortun- ately the needed hit could not be pro- duced and the game was lost 5 to 4. Sunday Winnetka A. C's won from the Pals A. C, 4 to 2. This Sunday the Waukegan Colored team comes to town. "Come out and get a real kick from this game," the locals advise the fans of the village. The A. H.
