WINNETKA TALK March 10, 1928 ARTHUR BRISBANE SAYS-- "One-third the Radcliffe College students, half the Harvard students, replying to ques- tions about companionate marriage, approve that invention. Two Harvard men and one Radcliffe girl are married already in that fashion. Twenty-two Radcliffe girls are willing to marry on the companionate plan. "This proves some girls' at Radcliffe and some men at Harvard know little about life. When they know more their views will change. "If the twenty-two Radcliffe girls enter com- panionate marriages, they will know, when their faces begin to have lines, their hips get wider, and their eyes dim, that they made a mistake."

E. C. Draws 1,500 Children (Contributed) Over 1,500 north shore children and their mothers enjoyed the perform- ances of "Racketty-Packetty House" given by students of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college in Harrison hall Saturday. The reputation which the students have earned for themselves, the ideal weather, and the work of the alumnae in the sale of tickets, resulted in the most successful performances of a children's play ever given at the col- lege. The advisability of arranging for three performances of the play for children next year is being discussed, as many were turned away from each of the Saturday plays. Miss Catherine Wilcox as the dainty- winged fairy and her attendant elves, held the children spellbound in the opening scene, but before the play was well under way they were chuckling and laughing aloud at the appearance and antics of the dolls. Many of the children were thoroughly familiar with the story and at one point, when the dolls were bewailing the fact that their shabby old house was to be burned, a little voice from the darkness beyond the footlights piped up "Don't you care! They're not really going to burn it!" The luncheon, with its 350 patrons, was quite as successful an affair as the plays. Prof. Frederick Starr Is Speaker at Uptown Forum Prof. Frederick Starr of Seattle, the famous anthropologist at the Univer- sity of Chicago for thirty years, will speak on "What is Today's Civiliza- tion Doing to the Race?" at the Up- town Forum, Chicago, Sunday eve- ning, March 11.

The Uptown Forum meets in the People's church, 941 Lawrence avenue, just east of Sheridan road, Chicago, at 8 p. m. S. R. Logan, 1627 Walnut street, Wilmette, principal of Skokie school, Winnetka, returned from Boston Monday.
