Chamber Music many people, especially those of most discriminating taste, no music is so satisfying as that presented by a small group, usually three or four, of players on violin, cello, and piano. These players are usually musicians of ex- ceptional artistic ability in both solo and ensemble work. It is essential that they have solo ability, not only that they may deliver the incidental solos acceptably, but also that they may contribute beautiful tones and phrasing to the combined result. It is essential that they be ensemble ex- perts in order that the group playing be a thoroughly artistic blend. Chamber music literature includes a mul- titude of most attractive compositions by practically all the great masters. Many of these compositions are excellent in both form and content. They range from com- positions that children can easily appreciate to compositions that are most subtle and intricate. There are many to whom chamber music makes a stronger appeal than any other form of musical art. There are more who would do well to give their ears and brains the opportunity of responding enjoyably to this most intimate and pure presentation of harmony. This opportunity is at hand, for on October 25, at 4, the Muenzer string trio plays in Kenilworth Assembly hall. October ATE among the beauties of the north shore, a season of delightful pause between the glow of summer and the bleakness of winter, a season of glorious color, of stimulation, of promise of achieve- ment. Other seasons have their beauty. Other days there are in which one is glad to he alive, to breathe the air charged with life, to delight the eyes with the beauties of land and water. But there is none which brings the fulfilment of expectation, none that gives the satisfaction of October, when maples flame red and yellow, when the scarlet of the sumach blazes, and the russet of the oak provides the background against which the vivid colors are blended and harmonized. Many of the people of the north shore seek greater charm and comfort during the summer months. Many follow the birds in their migrations to find summer during the period of ice and snow. But one would have to go far to discover greater beauty, greater comfort, and more abundant joy and happiness than are to be found on the shores of our own Lake Michigan. - Church Advertising OT many years ago if a church adver- tised its services in the daily news- paper that church would have been frowned upon not only by other churches but also by people in general. It would have been thought bold, perhaps bad. Playing the piano on Sunday, going to a base-ball game, mowing the lawn--none of these things would have been thought more shocking than church advertising. Those days have gone. The first church advertising brought no disastrous conse- quences. On the contrary the consequences must have been good, judging from the fact that it was not long before those churches which criticised followed the lead of the first bold one. The gospel is good news. Why should it not be proclaimed to every creature by every means? What harm can there be in using a regular space in the local paper to tell the readers, many of them church mem- bers, the dates of meetings, the subjects of the sermons, any church news of general or special interest? Almost every church from Wilmette to Glencoe advertises. The Wilmette churches are about to resume their custom of weekly announcements and news items. Churches in Kenilworth, Winnetka, and Glencoe con- tribute regularly to their respective com- munity papers. We hope that our readers will use our weekly papers in order to keep informed re- garding current church events. An Enduring Monument O finer monument could be raised to the memory of a good and charitable woman than a home in which care is given to children who have to face life without those taken-for-granted blessings of the child born into a comfortable home, in which father and mother devote themselves to the happiness of their offspring. Such a monu- ment as is being planned to honor the memory of Mrs. Britton I. Budd is one to keep green the memory of the woman whom it is meant to honor through many gen- erations of children. A long time ago there was one who said "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my children, ye have done it unto me." That expression of the spirit of real Christianity cannot be im- proved upon in this day of advancement in so many departments of life. There is still among us the child who is helpless in the face of conditions for which he is not in the least responsible. There is still the oppor- tunity for the utmost in Christian service in extending to these little ones the love and protection which accident of birth has denied to them from the natural source. Our offer to give you nine months' sub- scription for the price of six will, we hope, lead the way to a friendship that will go far towards making your life beside our wonderful lake chock full of vim and vital- ity. Let your community paper in its hand- some and handy form help to transform your existing into real living. ; Beware of the closed garage! Don't start and run your car in a closed garage. The exhaust gas is a deadly poison. The fact that it can neither be seen nor smelled makes it all the more deadly. Failure to leave the garage door open when warming up your car is practically committing suicide. THIS AND THAT Until We Find a Title THE LEGEND OF ST. BEELZEBUB In Olden Times, runs the legend quaint, The lawyers longed for a Patron Saint; Thereupon to the Pope, at Rome, they go All the merits of their cause to show. They argued well as lawyers can -And His Holiness granted their pious plan; But blindfolded must their chairman fare To choose them a Saint from St. Peter's square. Round the mighty chancel the statues stood Of many a holy saint so good; And mounted high with his spear in air St. Michael was slaying old Beeldebub there. Alack and alas for the lawyers' plan For, groping in darkness, their blindfolded man, Seeking to choose them a holy saint, : Touched the Devil himself, runs the story quaint. Lawyers are honest, as the day, This is the burden of my lay; But this is why, by a mischance quaint That The Father of Lies is their Patron Saint. --BARDOFP. MAY WE NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE DAY! "See 'Sweet Girl of Old' Ousting 1925 Shorn Model" runs the headline over a recent story quot- ing Armand T. Nichols, director general of the Atlantic City beauty pageant, in which this beauty expert says that the limit has been reached and that the sweet modest girl of old is coming back. Hoops my dear! Bustles, rats, transformations, wasp-waists, street-sweeper dresses. Oh girls please don't! A WOLVERINE IS ALWAYS WELCOME! I like your line of "This and That," "Till a better name you find. It helps to cheer a lonely kid, Whe left her home behind. And since I have no pal or friend In this village "large" I'll drop a poem--now and then-- If you want it and won't charge! --A. WOLVERINE. You're a Braver Man Than We, Keith! We note that Prof. Keith Preston, formerly of Northwestern U., has been foolhardy enough of late to revive the age-old battle between the Tri-Delts and the Alpha Fees. Oh well oft- times, tis true, col. cons rush in where man, angel nor devil durst not tread ever so lightly. PRETTY SOFT FOR RED! "Grange to Try Stuff Against Butter Today," we read in last Saturday's Her- aminer. ADD CHARLESTON MYSTERY We recently attended a vod-ville show and saw Chinese, Spanish, Italian and American versions, or variations, of what purported to be the Charles- ton. Now we are all bawled up! Help, help! Such Women Are Dangerous, We Allus Thought "Dangerous Sweetie Should Flash Plaid Socks as Warning," we read in a headline over story telling that a London minister says that ill tem- pered women should be forced to wear tartan plaid stockings as a warning to unsuspicious suiters. SPORT DOPE Taking heart by our extraordinary good luck in picking winners last week--why, we picked the Cubs to win one game in the City Series and now look what they've went and done to the poor Pale Sox--we are taking our typewriter in hand for a little more Hughie Fullertoning. We pick: Chicago to beat Northwestern--about 13 to 7. Yessir! And if Old Man Stagg's men fall down on us, we're goin to have to pass the hat, this week-end. That's our guess but gosh how we will celebrate if the Fighting Purple Wild-cats claw up the Maroons! ~T.R..C.
