The date for opening the crossing to traffic has not been set, but will probably be in about ten days, according to Villiage Manager F. L. Streed. Cars approaching the railroad tracks from the east can now cross directly instead of making a jog to the south as was formerly necessary. Work on the improvement was started about three weeks ago, and the cost will be divided between the village of Kenil- worth, the North Shore line, and the Chicago and North Western railway. In connection with the crossing im- provement the North Shore line has installed at its own expense platform lights similar to the regular Kenilworth street lights, and arrangements have been made with the village to main- tain these lights for an annual service charge. Shrubbery has been planted along both platforms of the North Shore line at the Kenilworth avenue station. CHILDREN COOK LUNCHEON The first grade children of Hubbard Woods school cooked their own lunch last Thursday in the playhouse at the home of Mrs. Robert S. Hammond, 1217 Asbury avenue. This Thursday they will go to the home of Mrs. Erskine Wilder, 1011 Hubbard lane, for lunch. Mrs. A. Roy Hulbert, 31 Richmond road, Kenilworth, has as her guest for a few days Miss Margaret Mayhew. Miss Mayhew is a former resident of Kenilworth. ---- Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Hartshorn, 943 Spruce street, entertained a few friends at bridge at their home Thursday eve- ning, November 1. from Wilmette 4300 Winnetka 2000 Greenleaf 4300 That's a real piece of printed matter that I got LLOYD HOLLISTER INC. 1232-36 CENTRAL AVENUE Big "Mum" Show Coming to Chicago Monday, Nov. 12 For the first time in seven years, Chicago will have a flower show this fall. Monday afternoon, November 12, at 2 o'clock, the Grand Ball room of the Stevens hotel will be the mecca of all flower lovers of Chicago and sur- rounding towns. At this time will be ushered in, the National Chrysanthe- mum Flower show; in an unsurpassed setting, with over-changing lighting effects flooding the fifty thousand blooms and plants which will be on display from all over the United States. The entire huge ball room of over 14,000 square feet of space, will be like a bower of flowers, which with the changing lighting effects will create a scene of beauty never before at- tempted. The Chrysanthemum Society of America is staging its annual show in Chicago for the first time. The Illinois State Florists' association is staging its annual show in connection with the 'Mum' show, which will give to Chi- cago a National show in the full sense of the word. Noted flower specialists from all over the United States are preparing prize blooms for display and in competition with other growers. Eric Buchholz, the noted landscape artist is just back from Europe, full of new ideas on flower show staging. Mr. Buchholz promises the public, he will stage this show in an entirely different fashion than heretofore attempted; taking the best ideas of the famous London flower show and the huge show staged annually in Berlin and in- corporating them into the Chicago show, so that all the blooms exhibited will show to the best advantage and so they may be viewed by the public at their best. Chrysanthemums, the queen of flow- ers, one of nature's most lovely gifts; wonderful rare orchids; graceful, friendly, nodding roses of every varie- ty known to the floriculture world, pompoms; rose plants; cyclamen plants; exquisite carnations; in fact, all the most beautiful products of flo- ral establishments from all over the country, will be there for the public to see and enjoy. The University of Illi- nois together with the various park boards will also stage exhibits of their blooms. The show will be officially opened Monday, November 12, at 2 o'clock and will be open to the public daily till 10 o'clock in the evening to Friday, November 16, inclusive. Mrs. E. D.

Snydacker is to leave next Monday morning for Moline, IIL as representative of the Kenilworth league, to attend the annual conven- tion of the Illinois League of Women Voters November 13-15.

Complete notice of the convention, of its programs and its speakers, ap- pears on the Club page of this issue. Anyone interested in attending the convention is asked to phone Mrs. Snydacker, Wilmette 700-R.
