September 29, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 Music and Play on Program for American Writers By R. L. P. A tea party held in a "sunken gar- den" is a novelty, especially if the sunken garden happens to be a lowly basement -on - ordinary days. Mrs. Charles Holg, 250 Laurel avenue, Wil- mette, who entertained the Friends of American Writers on Wednesday afternoon, was forced by an unoblig- ing weather man to transform her basement into a garden. There seemed to be plenty of room for the seventy- odd guests and a corner for the art- ists, and the informality established between them resulted in a delightful- ly pleasant afternoon. Mrs. Holg's sister, Mrs. Nettie Bohr, who passed away two years ago, was the founder of this organization seven years ago. The Friends of American Writers have been steadily growing and doing commendable work since its inception. Mrs. Carl R. Henrick- son is president, and she welcomed the group on Wednesday. Miss Edith Salvi, harpist, and Miss Lillian Pringle, cellist, were the artists of the occasion, opening the program with "Orange Blossoms," by Friml; and "Spanish Serenade," by Glaza- nov. This was followed by a harp solo, "Impromptu" by Schueker. Miss Pringle plays with firm, even bow- ing, and her tone is warm and mellow. Her interpretations are ar- tistically worked out. Miss Salvi gave her splendid support in the ac- companiments. Miss Salvi's solo was particularly enjoyed, for she has a sense of the poetry of the harp, and all her phrasing is gracefully accom- plished. Mastery of the harp's tech- nique, and her own personality infused in her numbers, is responsible for this. A later group by Miss Pringle and Miss Salvi was composed of Saint- Saens' "Le Cygne"; Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song"; and Poppers' "Gavotte." Mrs. Florence Crocker Comfort, a member of the Friends of American Writers, was the author of "The Sing- a-Song man," produced by the Jack and Jill players under the direction of Marie Agnes Foley. The play was worked up in a hurry for the occa- sion, most of the costumes having been hastily put together Wednesday morn- ing. Nore of this was apparent, how- ever, in the presentation of this charm- ing little play. The little actors played their roles intelligently, bringing out the whimsical touch that Mrs. Com- fort intended. It was- all about a "Won't-Go-to-Bed-er" child, whose mother took her to see Dr. Paddy- Whack for a cure. But. Dr. Paddy- Whack only has such old fashioned remedies as medicine for "Grumps or Growls," for the "Fidgets," and, most horrific of all, a few paddles by Peter Paddle. Just:as he was despairing of curing the child, a Sing-a-Song man comes in, singing a lullaby about float- ing on a boaf, and flying with the birds, and he tells little Toddle Tot how one can travel by going to bed! He is a very persuasive chap, and soon all the personified remedies and help- ers of the doctor, and even Toddle Tot herself start singing his song, and follow him away to slumberland. Among those present was Mrs. H. B. Mitchell, who edited the writings of her husband on early Chicago, and whose book, "Fragments of Early Chicago," is now in Chicago book stores. The Friends of American Writers will meet on October 24, at 12:30 o'clock, for luncheon in the Wedg- wood room of Marshall Field's, to hear Llewellyn Jones talk on "How to Read, 'and How to Review a Book." Under the leadership of Mrs. R. B. Cotter, there will be a group discus- sion on Edith Wharton's new novel, "The Children." Back From Europe With Newest Cobblers' Vogue Frank Mook, manager of the shoe repair department at the Winnetka Shoe Store, 804 Elm street, returned recently from a three months' trip in Furope, during which -he obtained new ideas and methods relative to new and rebuilding shoe work. He found a custom in vogue there, and quite popular, too, of having two classes of rebuilding work, one of a very high grade quality, on which charges are made in accordance with the work done, and another for which a smaller charge is made in cases where a cheap- er grade of work is 'desired. The system has been installed at the Win- netka Shoe store. ENTERTAIN FOR GUEST Mr. and Mrs. Ansel McBride Kinney (Elinor Woodward) entertained at din- ner last Tuesday evening at Mrs. Kin- ney's parents home, the Arthur H. Woodwards, 685 Ardsley road, in hon- or of two Evanston brides of the near future, Miss Margaret Grey Scott and Miss Dorothy Picard and their fiances. Those who will be attendants in the two weddings were the guests at the dinner.
