J September 17, 1927 WINNETKA TALK GL -- Rh Child's Author = Colleen Browne Kilner (Mrs. Fred- eric R. Kilner) of Wilmette, is the author of "la-La Man in Music Land," a gay and entertainingly in- structive gift book on the funda- mentals of music, written especially to appeal to the very young child. The clever and amusing illustrations are by Mrs. Kilner's sister, Carnien Browne, of Wilmette and New York, who was the recipient of the first Joseph Pennell scholarship, and who was the illustrator of "Sunny Rhymes for Happy Children," by Olive Beau- pre Miller, of Winnetka. A friend of Mrs. Kilner's suggested that she write the book, incorporating in it the ideas she had used when in- structing children in music. There are innumerable gift books for children, but this is the first music book that has been published especially for chil- dren. The book is now on sale at the book shops of the north shore.

Golf along the beautiful SkokieValle IXTEEN country clubs and six public fee golf courses add to living along the beautiful Skokie Valley. Today--at a time when the growth of older communities leaves little room for further development--the Skokie Valley takes its rightful place as "the newer North Shore", just adjoining and a little to the west. the joy o Lack of transportation long held back the development of this Nature-favored section. But with the opening, in 1926, of the North Shore Line's Skokie Valley Route, this was changed for all time. Home conveniences are already established along the Skokie Valley. Space is plentiful. Here is the logical place for the younger generation to choose a home-site--close to the place they have always called "home" --and in "the newer North Shore".
