a WINNETKA TALK September 10, 1927 Piper Pipes New Pipes and Passes Pipes to Kiddies Hundreds of children from through- out the Hubbard Woods vicinity en- joved the visit of the Pied Piper whom they met at the store of the G. L. Zick company, in the Aitken building on Linden avenue, Thursday after- noon. A. G. Schuelke, as the modern Pied Piper, with his bright robes and an entrancing story of the comfort and service of the Pied Piper health shoes for children, sold by the Zick company, captivated his audience quite as com- pletely as did the mythical character from Hamelin town in Brunswick, past which the River Weser flows, with his bewitiching strains of music. The store was completely packed . » . = | with the audience of little folks, who listened attentively to the interesting story of the merits of the Pied Piper shoes, as related by Schuelke. Then with the assistance of Walter Zick, the store's little guests were each presented with brightly colored Pied Piper hats and "horns," and with the Pied Piper as their leader, they marched through the streets of village, as did the children in story town of Hamelin. Unlike the story march, however, there were lacking sweet strains of music from the Pied Piper's pipe, in the place of which was to be heard a veritable din from the scores of horns. the And the Shuelke march, instead of terminating in a mysterious cavern, ended at the Zick store, where the happy boys and girls were each pre- sented a pretty little book containing stories of the Pied Piper of Hamelin-- the | past which town the river Weser flows --and the Pied Piper shoes for children, made at Wausau, Wis., on the banks of the Wisconsin river. Mrs. Walter H. Andersen of 127 Robsart road, Kenilworth, returned re- cently from a two-weeks' visit to Mil- ton, Wis., with her aunt, Mrs. Loth, and her two sons. Before that Mr. and Mrs. Andersen went to Alaska with members of the Lake Shore Athletic club, and also spent some time at Lake Louise and Banff, pass- ing through Yellowstone National park on their way home. SO Miss Harriet Webster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert S. Webster of 314 Oxford road, Kenilworth, will re- turn in time for school from a ten days' visit with Miss Marjorie Smythe, also of Kenilworth, at Portage Point, Mich.
