October 17, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 21 Glencoe Girl Will Marry at Scene of Parents' Wedding An interesting wedding will take place Monday evening, October 19, at Christ church, Winnetka, when Miss Margaret Knight Shippen of Glencoe becomes the bride of Frederick Mor- rison Babcock of Evanston. Both of these young people are well known in these villages as they are graduates of Northwestern university. Miss Miss Margaret Shippen Photo by E. IL. Ray Shippen, who was a member of the class graduating last June, is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. She has also been assistant librarian for several years in the Glencoe library. Mr. Babcock is a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Many of Miss Shippen's friends will be interested to know that she has chosen Christ church as the place of her marriage rather than the St. Elisa- beth's church in Glencoe, which she attends, because her father and mother were united there. Her bridal party will wear autumn colors, and Miss Shippen will be at- tired in white satin-backed crepe made with a train. Her oldest sister, Miss Gertrude Shippen, who will be her maid of honor, will wear yellow georgette over a green gold slip. Her bridesmaids, her sister, Miss Dorothy Shippen, Miss Beulah Francoeur, and Miss Theodosia Paynter, of Glencoe, will have frocks of chrysanthemum and red shades over silver cloth. The church, beautiful in itself, will be very simply decorated with white flowers. Rev. J. K. Coolidge of Glen- coe, assisted by the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard of Winnetka, will perform the ceremony. The wedding will be followed by a small reception for relatives and the bridal party at the Shippen home in Glencoe. Winnetka Baseball Club Ends Successful Season The Winnetka baseball team has terminated its season's schedule and has requested WINNETKA TALK to con- vey to fandom of the village its sincere appreciation of the splendid support, morally and financially, accorded the club during the season. The team management also is pleased to an- nounce that it has come out of the season's play without slipping into debt. The team annexed 10 victories and dropped only five games during the season, according to H. M. Carpenter, manager. "We closed with our books in good shape," Manager Carpenter said, "and we certainly are indebted to the loyal fans for such a successful season." 1Classes at New Trier Name Officers for Year merly of Wilmette, was electzd presi- dent of the Junior class at New Trier High school this week.

AMATEUR While one cannot say that the local amateur dramatic season is in full swing, "bits" have been performed this week which indicate that it is close at - hand. Pupils of the Skokie school at Winnetka were responsible . for the initial 'undertaking, giving us a well staged and carefully directed pageant of 'Columbus." The second venture consisted of a one-act play of Alice Gerstenberg's, 'Fourteen," which was given by the Community Drama Players at Com- munity House, Winnetka, in connection with the fall opening of that institu- tion. --Thespian NIN ANIA IN IN I NINN IN INIA INN IN INIA TAINS SINAN New Skokie Valley Division will bring high-speed electrified transportation to one of Chicago's most attractive home areas LAKE BLUFF DEERPATH AV.

High-Speed Service The Scenic Route 1.72 | LAKE | | cHicheo MICHIGAN LAKE FOREST CHICAGO LOOP OURTEEN thousand inhabitants for every square mile of its area-- that is the average density of pop- ulation in Chicago. Compare this with Kansas City, which houses only 5,593 people per square mile; or with New Orleans, which has a population of 2,175 per square mile; or with Los Angeles, where there is an average of only 1,563 inhabitants to each square mile. Such comparisons make one realize the great need for new, spacious suburban communities within easy commuting distance of Chicago -- communities accessible to the city, yet removed from its bustle and con- gestion. The new Skokie Valley Divis- ion of the North Shore Line, now under construction, will help to fill this great need. Early in 1926, this new Division will be completed. Then will be available a fast, frequent, electrified transporta- tion service direct from Libertyville and Mundelein, in the Lake County Countryside, to the loop district of Chicago. Already, the North Shore Line serves these attractive towns; any North Shore Line ticket agent will tell you how to get there. But service will be faster--and direct-without-change --when the new high-speed Division is completed. This beautiful, rolling, wooded home section already possesses city conveni- ences -- electricity, gas, water, stores and schools. Now comes the final and most important of all necessities -- high-speed transportation! Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad Co. The high-speed electrified railroad
