4 WINNETKA TALK July 21, 1928 WESTERN NOVEL IS DRAMA Bernard DeVoto's book, "The House of Sun-Goes Down" is not the usual thing in Western novels, compounded of Indians, cowboys' amazing tricks, and riotous gunplay. It is, instead, a drama, unflagging in its intensity, pre- senting one of the most colorful phases of America's history. Miss Priscilla Wheelock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Wheelock of 89 Robsart road, Kenilworth is spending a few days in Waukegan with Miss Barbara Roger. FAVOR MASEFIELD'S DRAMA The current newspaper accounts of | the presentation in Canterbury Cathe- |dral of John Masefield's drama, "The Coming of Christ," tell of a thronging audience deeply impressed by the | beauty of the play, and of hundreds | turned away for lack of room. "The Manchester Guardian" says: "The play as a whole is a moving thing, alike in the beauty of its imaginative life and in its dedicated emotion." "The Coming of Christ" has just been published with the Macmillan imprint. A Vill iii iii iiididiiiiiiiiiiiiididiliddiddididd WINNETKA 818 OAK ST.

U. Dormitory Will Be Named for Chinese Missionary One of the two new open tories now nearing completion on the women's campus at Northwestern uni- versity has been named in memory of Mrs. Emily Hatfield Hobart, who was shot and killed by Chinese, April 29, President Walter Dill Scott an- nounced this week. Mrs. Hobart was graduated from Northwestern in 1882. With her husband, William T. Ho- bart, she had been a missionary in China forty-six years. Hobart House, as the dormitory will be known hereafter, is on Emerson street and fills the space between two of the new sorority houses completed last summer. The other open dormitory, at Or- rington avenue and University place, has been named in honor of Mrs. Emma Winner Rogers, wife of Dr. Henry Wade Rogers, who was presi- dent of Northwestern university from 1891 to 1902. Mrs. Rogers was one of dormi- the founders of the Northwestern University Settlement and of the University Guild. She was in the forefront of women's movements of her day. Hobart House and Rogers House will cost approximately $300,000, in- cluding the furnishings, and will be ready for occupancy when the fall term opens. Each will accommodate thirty-seven women of the university who are not sorority members. Rog- ers House is distinguished from the others on the campus by a four-story tower. Completion of these two new dormi- tories will fill up the open spaces in the Uwshaped series of buildings oh the east quadrangle of the women's campus. Space has been reserved on the west quadrangle. for similar open houses. The fourteen stone houess com- pleted «last summer. on these two quadrangles are for the use of sorori- ties. The open houses are being built side by side with the sorority houses with a view to a more complete inter- mingling of all women attending the university. The houses on the two quadrangles were given the award for architectural excellence by the Art Commission of Evanston for 1927. They have been judged by architects the finest block of modern living quarters for women in any American university. If You Want to Be Cool Go to the Field Museum Regardless of how mercilessly the sun may beat down upon the city, it is always cool inside the marble tem- ple which houses Field Museum of Natural History, declared Stephen C. Simms, acting director, today, in issu- ing an invitation to the public to come to the museum for relief from the heat. The temperature in the museum building is maintained con- stantly between 68 and 72, even when the mercury threatens to blow out of the top of the thermometer outdoors. "Not only is the museum actually cool--its white interior has a psycho- logically cooling effect the moment one enters the door," said Mr. Simms. "It is immediately refreshing to the mentally fagged as well as those phy- sically fatigued by the heat." Further psychological relief from the heat is offered by the museum's exhibits showing how Eskimos and polar bears live, in which the snow and ice of their natural habitats is faithfully reproduced as background.
