That the day was a great success was indicated by the number present and their close attention. The society has, of course, frequently heard of "On- ward," the neighborhood house in which the church has a share, but never before has the work been brought so close to us. Mrs. Martin Moon, a member of the executive board of Onward, in intro- ducing the speakers, emphasized the fact that Onward is not a mission, but a neighborhood house; that it does not stand in a "down and out" community, but in one composed of foreigners who greatly need aid in adjustment. Mrs. Moon, saying that one of the happiest sides of the work was the co-operation with, the Glencoe church, then introduced Mrs. Buechler of Glencoe, president of the Onward aux- iliary. Mrs. Buechler gave a brief but telling account of the work of the There's a Colo- nial Wall Paper Pattern to give the room a personality HE Colonial line has a large number of patterns to choose from.

For example, the auxiliary furnished an apartment for the settlement workers, collecting the furniture, even a piano. Painting, upholstering, and sewing all fall to the lot of the auxiliary. Mrs. Vidiloff, the second speaker, appeared in her native Bulgarian cos- tume. With amazing fluency and cor- rectness, Mrs. Vidiloff told of her "case" work. As lack of the English tongue is often a barrier to the adult foreigner, Mrs. Vidiloff, with her com- mand of several languages and under- standing of their backgrounds, can come into close touch with these peo- ple and help them to adjust themselves to American conditions. As Mrs. Vidi- loff remarked, "Everyone does not have the courage to push through and obtain the best in America. They so often take the worst." Miss Stewart, director of Onward Neighborhood house, the "hand, mind and heart" of the organization, was the last speaker. She traced briefly the history of Onward, its transforma- tion from a small Presbyterian church to a neighborhood house, serving all denominations. While there have been some classes at Onward for sev- eral years, it was only two years ago that it was put upon the present active basis. There are now two full time, four half time, and a number of volun- teer workers. There are 529 indi- viduals enrolled in classes. Twenty- one different activities use the house weekly. This is exclusive of the kindergarten which meets daily. This gives but a faint idea of the amount of work accomplished by this small staff in its inconvenient building, in- adequately equipped. At the close of her talk, Miss Stewart showed a number of slides of the Onward classes in session. At the morning session of the so- ciety, the women sewed and transacted [their business as usual, after which Mrs. Frederick Dickinson read ex- tracts from Barrie's "Margaret Ogil- vie," that ever-delightful, tender tri- bute to his mother. The devotional service, in charge of Mrs. John L: Hamilton, brought the morning session to a fitting close. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Beach of 532 Oak street have come home after about three months of travel. After spending two months in Tucson, Ariz, they went to New Orleans for a week or two, and from there to Little Rock for ten days. Their daughter, Mrs. Harry H. Barnum of 735 Walden road, joined them in New Orleans, where she spoke before the Garden club. She also went to Little Rock. --0-- Dicky Babcock, son of the W. F.
