Dwell in this residential hotel, where quality lies deeper than elegance, where hospitality is a warm, human principle, where happy living expresses itself as a pleasing, gracious art. In this charming atmosphere, quietly ex- clusive, you will find a delightful flavor but also holds those who are thoroughly critical in their way of living. This is evidenced by the fact that fully 70% of Orrington guests have lived here, continuously, ever which not only attracts since the hotel opened. A desirable 1 to 4 room suites are now avail able at The Orrington--some unfurnished and with kitchenettes. Liberal discounts on long-term leases make Orrington rates unusually attractive.

Watson Dudley Crafts Watson, who will be this year's lecturer in the course ar- ranged by the North Shore Art league, is a man widely recognized for his rare ability to make art popular. This Art institute extension lecturer has brought to many audiences a finer un- derstanding and appreciation of all the arts. He draws his subject matter from his experience as an artist, critic and traveler. As a leader of European tours he has visited every country on the continent except Russia and gained a limitless store of anecdotes. He has a dynamic personality which infuses his lectures with enthusiasm, humor and vividness. The result in many cases has been to inspire those who have heard him to application of art to every-day life as well as to the actual creation of beauty. Mr. Watson studied first at the Art institute and then worked in the stu- dios of Sorolla at Madrid and of Sir Alfred East in England. For some years he was a teacher of water-color painting at the Art institute, ani since then has been educational director of the Rockford Art guild and of the Springfield Art association and direc- tor of the Milwaukee Art institute. His work as a painter is represented in the Milwaukee Art institute, the Public Library collection at Burling- ton, Ia.,, and in many private collec- tions throughout the middle west. The lectures he will give in the course of the North Shore Art league will start Monday, Oct. 15. They are to be given at the Community House in Winnetka. His subjects will be: Oct. 15--Art and Life of Scandinavia; Oct. 22--Greece and Its Supremacy; Nov. 5--Art and Life of North Africa; Nov. 19--The Enjoyment of Modern Architecture; Dec. 3--The Art and Life of the Slavic Republics; Dec. 17 --The Art and Life of Spain. Jas. A. Patten Attacks Gov. Smith's Wet Plan James A. Patten, a Republican who has seldom taken a conspicuous posi- tion in interparty battles, came out Sunday with a long statement assail- ing Gov. Alfred E. Smith's proposals on the liquor problem. He said in part: "Instead of a clear, courageous plan to meet and correct the evils in the present situation, Gov. Smith offers a plan which his own party followers in Congress have already declared that they will not follow, which can never be operative, and which at best would double opportunities for graft and crime by permitting any state to enter into the business of manufacturing and retailing alcoholic liquors. It would further debauch gov- ernment by putting the retail liquor traffic under control of the state politi- cians." He declared that Smith's pro: posal for state's rights over liquor le- gislation would require an amendment to the eighteenth amendment, which would require action by both houses of congress and ratification by three- fourths of the states. He asserted this would be impossible, and that, even if it were possible, the results would be worse than the present situation. Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Williams, 205 Oxford road, Kenilworth are be- ing congratulated upon the birth of a daughter, September 22, at the Michael Reese hospital.
