Boys Find Body of Woman Suicide in Lake Tuesday Winnetka police identified a body found in the lake last Tuesday noon as that of Mrs. Michael Reddington, 42 years old, 7407 South May street, Chicago, wife of a motorman employed by the Chicago Surface lines. The body was seen floating in the water by two boys, James Barnard, 12 years old, 410 Cedar street, and George Mel- vin, of the same age, 654 Ash street. They notified James Allen, beach guard at the Winnetka bathing beach, who brought the body ashore and noti- fied the police department. Identifica- tion was established through a pocket- book found on the beach earlier in the day. The body was taken to Hebble- thewaite's undertaking rooms at 1610 Maple avenue, Evanston, where an in- quest was held later in the week. The coroner's jury returned an open ver- dict. Reddington said his wife left the house Monday afternoon and that he could assign no reason for her act. school--Robert Helen Miss Shirley Grant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harlo R. Grant of Chicago, and sister of Mrs. Jacob Replogle of Oak street, has returned from Rock- ford college for her summer vacation. She will go to England in the fall to enroll at Royal Albert hall to study English and dramatic art. Brunswick Shop in New Location Just One Door to North Walter Dehmlow, Winnetka's very own Brunswick man, is occupying fine- ly appointed and enlarged quarters in the building just a door north of his well known establishment at 564 Lin- coln avenue. Mr. Dehmlow, who is strictly a Win- netka product, established the Winnet- ka Brunswick Shop three years ago. At the very outset he shared store space with the Grace Herbst Gift Shop, but rapid expansion of business neces- sitated removal to larger quarters with- in eighteen months. Now the constant growth of the business has made ad- visable another change in location. Strangely enough, with all the changes, the Brunswick Shop has remained within the same block and on the same side of the street. Everything in the Brunswick line-- except, perhaps, billiard tables and bowling alleys--may be found in the Winnetka Brunswick Shop. Of spe- cial interest to most patrons is the Panatrope or "Ray Light" recording Brunswick which has revolutionized the phonograph industry. Demonstrations on this instrument are almost continu- ous. Mr. Dehmlow has gained an enviable reputation as an orchestra pianist and is prepared to render expert service to his patrons who inspect the sheet music department. H. M. Dale, 519 Ash street, will leave Winnetka June 27, to spend a month hunting and fishing on an island in Lake McCollough, northern Wisconsin. Mr. Dale plans to return to Winnetka the latter part of July. O-- Mr. and Mrs. Orval Simpson of Auburn road, with their family, left Tuesday for their cottage at Minocqua, Wis., to spend the entire summer sea- son. They will return to the Village in September. ---- Dr. and Mrs. L. Harrison Mettler, 1119 Sheridan road, and their two daughters, Marcella and Barbara, will spend the summer months in Greens- boro, Vt.
