R. Jacobs of 368 Girls to Date Boys for Annual Senior Party Wednesday Eve The senior class of New Trier High school is giving its senior party Wed- nesday evening, February 22, in the form of a Leap Year frolic. The girls decided what boys they wanted to ask, and if they were lucky enough to check off "his" name on the list in Miss Ma- loney's (the senior girls' adviser chair- man) office before anyone else beat them to it, they were to send him an in- vitation which reads as follows: "'Tis twenty-eight, beware! The girls are on a tear, The boys are in the air, "Twill be a party rare. The girls will date the boys, And leave at home their toys, The boys, a powder puff, And leave at home their stuff. No other frills nor fee, May I your escort be? As far as the school is concerned, the girls wishing to attend need carry the Leap Year idea no farther than the dating and dancing, but many of the girls are thinking of calling for their dates, or sending boutonnieres to them. About ten of the girls are going stag, in order to insure some "cutting in. And, of course, it being Leap Year, boys, you'd better watch out! Mr. and Mrs. Robert C.

Mrs. Taliafergo Milton Repre- sents Woman's Club at Cham- ber's Session Monday The members of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce last Monday evening appreciated the brief, though highly complimentary, talk by Mrs. Taliaferro Milton, second vice-presi- dent of the Winnetka Woman's club, who had been invited to attend the session of the Chamber and address that body on "An Outsider's View- point of the Chamber of Commerce." The talk by Mrs. Milton had been preceded by addresses by Earl L. Weinstock, first president of the Chamber, on its original aims, and by William T. Wersted, on what it has accomplished. Mrs. Milton said she deemed it a great privilege to be permitted to ad- dress the organization of the business and professional men of the village, and, to them, extended felicitations from the club which she had the honor to represent. Praises High Ideals She pointed out to them the double interest which they have to serve in the community, and also congratulated the Winnetka merchants upon their lofty ideals, both in civic affairs, as well as in the conduct of their business enterprises. In Winnetka, she said, all are work- ing for the same ideal, whether it be from a purely civic or business view- point. Winnetka, she declared, demands the best merchants, the best in edu- cational matters and the best in civic development. "We not only demand them, but we get them," she asserted. "Winnetka has changed, and is changing," she continued, "but change does not retard progress. We can di- rect progress--direct it upward." The meeting Monday evening was called to order by President Thomas 1. Lynch, who then turned it over to First Vice-President Robert F. Doepel, who introduced the speakers. Want Women's Viewpoint It was suggested that women of the community attend the meetings more frequently and offer suogestions rela- tive to what the Chamber might do in its effort to better serve the com- munity, from a business point of view, as well as in civic matters. Tar Collector Hale Encounters Delay in Obtaining Books It is again the same old storv in regard to getting the New Trier Township tax books early, in order that taxpayers of the township may pay their taxes to Collector Sanborn Hale and thus more promptly swell the township funds by so doing. Collector Hale has been making frequent trips to the offices of the county clerk in an effort to get these books. but still he has them not. They tell him, he savs, that the rates are not vet all in and that the Board of Review is still in session. Collector Hale will lose not a minute in getting the books here as soon as they are ready. and requests local tax- payers to watch the columns of WiL- MEME LIFE, in which he will announce the important date of arrival. Mr. Hale anticipates an extension of time from March 10, to enable him to do his work. But just how much time will be given, he cannot say until the books are completed and delivered to him.
