DRAYER Colored crepe paper streamers strung along the pathway at Bluff Edge, the Hubbard Woods home of Mrs. Doug- las Smith, led the way Tuesday after- noon for three hundred north shore children and their parents and friends to the "Midsummer Frolic in Story- land," this year's midsummer {frolic given by the students and faculty members of the summer school of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college. Miss Margaret Farrar of the college faculty was the author and producer of the play. 'The Little Boy, Mother Goose, and the Fairy Lady held the center of the stage, which was on a little knoll in the beautiful lakeside grounds. From the sides of the stage, defined by the circling hedges and trees, appeared Peter Rabbit, the Three Bears, Little Black Sambo, Old King Cole, Humpty Dumpty, the Six-and Twenty Black- birds, and the little people of Bean Porridge Hot, all in turn. The orches- tra and chorus on the terrace con- tributed their part to the total effect. The Three Bears enacted their roles so realistically that when one bear cried because his bowl was empty, a little boy was noticed weeping in sympathy. The bear dance, which was really a kind of a hop, will doubtless be duplicated with more or less skill by energetic youngsters for weeks to come. The tigers, too, seemed to be a par- ticular center of attention and curios- ity. One little boy explained that he did not think the tigers were real, but' that the little girl next to him did-- apparently a serious difference of opinion. The tiger tails were unusual sources of temptation, and their own- ers were finally forced to hold them up to prevent their being several entirely by mischievous hands. Different personalities came out even in the youngest children, one of them going through the line twice to shake hands with the actors, and another so frightened that he refused to shake hands with anyone but Goldi- locks. As the end of the affair neared, the children lined up long before it was necessary in order that there might be no possible chance of missing the final march behind the actors. The children brought with them not only their mothers, but their fathers, aunts and uncles, and even grand- mothers and grandfathers, all of whom seemed to be enjoying the Mother Goose rhymes and fairy stories equally as much as the youngest generation at their sides. The proceeds from the Frolic are to help the college building fund toward the completion of Harrison hall, the National Kindergarten and Elementary college building at 2770 Sheridan road, Evanston. Mrs. Douglas Smith, who is a life member of the College Governing board, generously gave the use of her grounds at Bluff Edge for this event. Other members of the Governing board acted as hostesses and assisted the college faculty in presenting the lovely summer entertainment. Kentucky Society Meets The Kentucky Society of Evanston and the North Shore will hold its next regular monthly meeting Tuesday, August 9, at the home of Mrs. W. Allen Pusey in the Glenview Golf club grounds.
