16 WINNETKA TALK September 29, 1928 Bishop Lays Cornerstone of Theology Seminary | Barry Says-- "When buying Floorcov- ering do not let your judgment be obscured by cheapness. Remem- ber that that which is good is worth paying for. "Insiston QUALITY, no matter what you buy. Expect to pay a fair price. A cheap Rug, Carpet or Linoleum is not a bargain if the low price penalizes the quality. "For economy's sake, pay enough for QUALITY and SERVICE. "We never sacrifice qual- ity to meet a price." Compare our merchan- dise with any reputable Carpet House here or in Chicago. You'll admit that we are lower than "loop" stores and with a quality GUARANTEED! Our FaLL OPENING sale has given Evanston and North Shore people an opportunity to buy from a large stock in our new DAYLIGHT SALESROOM. They purchased and profited by the sale.

Monitor Gives Story of Activities of Oliver Hinsdell A recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor devotes considerable space to an article concerned with the iccomplishments and working methods of Oliver Hinsdell, director of the Lit- tle Theater, Dallas, Texas, and former member of the Northwester university faculty of the School of Speech. The little theater is now housed in a new playhouse and it is here that Mr. Hinsdell directs his classes in play- writing and play-production, and where he was interviewed for the article Tc its writer he expressed himself as en- thusiastically interested in native American drama, and he makes it a large part of his work to develop native talent, both as actors and plavwrights. The Dallas theater group, under the direction of Mr. Hinsdell, has won in- ternational honors three times with plays of the soil, and he is seeking an- other such play to take to the New York tournament next year in effort to win back the Belasco cup won first in 1924 and won three successive sea- sons. He is also seeking such a play to enter in the Texas tournament next year, an event which he organized in 1926 and which Dallas will entertain next spring. Mr. Hinsdell expressed himself to his interviewer as interested in the success of several players who have gone to Broadway from his group, but as more interested in the development of ex- cellent amateurs, with architects, bank- ers, school teachers, stenoeraphers, doctors and home managers putting on plays as a "gracious avocation." Mr. Hinsdell has been at the head of the Dallas group since the summer of 1923, coming from the New Orleans little theater where he built up the membership from 300 to almost 3,000 and also built a charming playhouse. He played professionally in and about Chicago before going south with Jane Cowl, Iden Payne, Conrad Nagel and Lou Tellegan, and in Norman Hackett's stock company. He is author of "Mak- ing the Little Theater Pay." GUEST DAY FOR WOMEN The Sunset Ridge Country club has anounced a special guest day for women golfers today. Golf play was to begin at 9 o'clock this morning. The club has announced also a four-ball mixed foursome to be played tomor- row afternoon beginning at 2 o'clock.

Every day Jock starts out from the farm near Muskegory Mich, where jhe has been spending his summer va- cation, goes down the road in his best manner, sits by the teacher's desk, and learns his lessons. Sometimes Jock puts on an air of injured dignity because: his school- mates try to spoil a good thing for him. Sometimes a pert woodchuck is just too much for Jock so he scampers off into the woods to give the fellow a good lesson. It peeves Jock when his schoolmates think she only sends them to open the the teacher should punish him but door for the erring pupil. Can't they see that he is doing a great civic good in punishing wondchncks? Jock's master is Col. Louis Wae- felaer of 263 Green Bay road, Glen- coe. The little Scotty is the mascot of Troop 23 of the Boy Scouts. Waefelaer is Scoutmaster of the troop. Jock hos his own room in the Waefelaer home with his own especially made bed. The room is decorated with many interesting trophies for Jock's particular amusement.
