MEETS MONDAY The regular meeting of Winnetka Chapter No. 942, Order of the Eastern Star, will be held Monday evening, April 12, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Win- netka Masonic temple. Members are urged to be present as important busi- ness will be transacted. Mrs. Joseph Cormack of Glencoe was one of the patronesses at the con- cert given last evening at Orchestra hall under the auspices of the Illinois St. Andrews society for the benefit of the Scottish Old People's home. A large number of north shore folk were in attendance.

(0A Xt Does the North Shore Line perate Motor Coaches ? F we were to answer that question in a few words, we would say: "Through operating Motor Coaches we are enabled to serve more people--and to increase the value, for everyone, of North Shore Line service." Let us see why this is true. In 1925, North Shore Line Motor Coaches carried 963,503 passengers. Our first Motor Coach line--Kenosha to Lake Geneva--was started in 1922. Prior to 1922, Lake Geneva was inaccessible, via established trans- portation, from towns and cities along the North Shore Line. Thousands each year desired to visit this popular resort. Yet those seeking to go by rail could do so only in a roundabout way. Then our Motor Coach service was established. It completely changed that condition. North Shore Line Motor Coaches connect with North Shore Line trains at Kenosha. They operate on regular schedule. People find this a direct and pleasant way to go. And the frequency of serv- ice appeals quite as much to Chicagoans as to those elsewhere along the North Shore Line. The history of our Lake Geneva Motor Coach Service gives you, in a single picture, the reason back of the eight North Shore Line Motor Coach routes now in operation. Each supplies a needed service, where adequate transportation did not before exist. We now operate the following Motor Coach routes: Kenosha to Lake Geneva; Waukegan to Kenosha via Sheridan Road; Waukegan to Mc- Henry; Waukegan to Antioch; Wilmette to High- land Park via Waukegan Road; Glencoe to Wheeling; Niles Center to Wauconda; Highland Park to Everett. Most of these Motor Coach lines operate cross- country, or crosswise to the main routes of north and south travel. All of them supply a two-fold service. They afford a valuable con- necting service with electric rail transporta- tion. And they give a useful inter-community service to the towns through which they operate. Special coaches can be chartered at moderate cost by any club, lodge, church or other group desiring to make a trip. Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad Co. 72 West Adams Street, Chicago, Ill. TheHigh-Speed Electrically-Operated Railroad CECILIA HANSEN WILL ADORN RECITAL SERIES Marvelous Classmate of Jascha Heifetz to Appear as Re- cital Artist Next Season Cecilia Hansen is another world- famous musician who will be brought to Winnetka by the Winnetka Music club in its Artists-Recital series of 1926-27. Not since Jascha Heifetz made his famous debut in 1917 has any violinist made so sensational a debut as did this gifted young woman, who, in 1922, as- tonished the New York critics. Miss Hansen was born in a Cossack settlement, and heard her first music from military bands. While a native of Russia, her grandfather was a Dane, and it is from the Hansen family that she inherits her Norse name and her Scandinavian type of beauty. Russia, however, is this violinist's native land, and Russian is her native tongue. She began playing the violin at an early age. Her first teacher was Zukovsky, now a member of the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra. She continued her studies with Prof. Leopold Auer, win- ning at the age of 16 first prize at the Petrograd Conservatory in 1914, where she was a classmate of Jascha Heifetz and Toscha Seidel. The war interrupted her plans, but after many hardships and vicissitudes she made a dramatic escape from Russia through the fog of the Baltic sea in a flimsy rowboat. In Finland, then, she made a triumphal debut, blazed a trail of brilliant recitals through Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Scan- dinavia, and now she has won the ac- claim of the American critics by her remarkable series of appearance in the United States. Plays "Like a Man" While Miss Hansen possesses great beauty, charm, and a magnetic per- sonality, yet of her the critics say: "She plays like a man." It is upon this basis she is judged. Her tone is individual, and tremendous power and purity. Technically she is an acknowl- edged master jof her instrument--a famous Stradivarius once owned by Wilhelmj. Miss Hansen is one of the world's great violinists. It is as a worthy colleague of Heifetz and the rest that she deserves to be heard. Her appearance in the north shore will be a notable event. It is significant that in her first sea- son in America she was engaged for appearance with the Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, Detroit, New York Phil- harmonic, State Symphony and Metro- politan Opera House orchestras, and that the Chicago Symphony, the first orchestra with which she played in this country, re-engaged her for an- other pair of concerts within the same season--of itself a rare tribute.
