November 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK YULE LANE SHOPS TO OPEN ON DEC. 4 Winnetka Women Plan Enter- tainment for Annual Affair at Community House a Punch and Judy in their very best clothes, too, are coming to Winnetka; also a superfine "Magic Man." Mrs. Fletcher Marsh and Mrs. Sidney Bart- lett, who have charge of entertainment at the Yule Lane shops, have secured Punch and Judy for Tuesday after- noon, December 4, and the "Magic Man" for Wednesday, December 5. A continuous performance will be given from 3 to 6 o'clock each afternoon. The entrance fee will be small. These are dates for both mothers and children to put upon their calendars. It is interesting to note the steady expansion of the original idea of the Yule Lane shops. One of the latest shops to come into existence is that of Arts and Crafts. A group of men under the leadership of Dr. James O. Ely is having a wonderful time pursu- ing its hobbies and creating lovely things. Enthusiaism and skill are fast overcoming the handicap of a late start. Just how much can be finished before December 4 it is impossible to say, but already there are completed lovely articles of pewter, and an ex- quisite fireside seat of antique wood and wrought iron. Midnight often finds the men working in Dr. Ely's workshop. Fine as are the products of the shop, finer yet is the spirit of fellowship, enthusiastic and joyous, that reigns there. Keynote Is Simplicity The keynote of the Country House shop is to be simplicity, according to Mrs. Frederick Scott, the chairman. There will be simple linens for break- fast table and tray; pottery, lamps, and prints suitable for the Country House; tray and suitcase stands; also some painted furniture; all attractive and suggestive items for those having difficult Christmas lists. Moreover, the articles will be reasonable in price. The Candy and Flower shop has be- come the Candy Shop and the Flower Shop. Mrs. J. Cordner West, in charge of the latter, desires it known that not only will there be cut flowers for sale but also a choice line of Christmas plants. Mrs. Dudley Smith is chairman of the Candy Shop. It is safe to predict that the tables will groan with sweets. The promised con- fections seem curiously in keeping with the age and to have an international flavor. The Stop and Shop has the promise of a quantity of delectable foods. Mrs. D. W. Poff and her committee of 25 have the sale thoroughly organized. The request is made that all those who have already promised or who desire to contribute canned goods bring the same to the Community house office Monday, December 3; that bakery goods be brought to the office before noon on Tuesday, December 4, or be- fore 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The widespread interest and cordial response met in regard to the shops are nowhere better illustrated than in a Jecent git: of posters used to an- ounce the shops, designed b upil of Mrs. Frank A. Eekart, Sr visor of art in the Oak Park schools. Mrs. Eckart is a sister of Mrs. Samuel Me- Caulley of 844 Sunset road. The dinner to be served on Wednes- day evening, December 5, is to have several unusually attractive features. In the first place one may dine any time between 6 and 7:30. In the sec- ond place the tables will vary in size, seating anywhere from 4 to 10, thus accommodating family groups and Persie, pResstvations of tables may e made by calli rs.

The conduct of dogs in neighbor- ing villages may have some bearing on this contemplated move by the Winnetka Village council. Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer, will ascer- tain if there have been any recent cases of rabies in other nearby towns, and report. The council also has considered the advisability of requiring all dog owners to show a certificate of im- munization of their dogs against rabies, before a license for the ca- nine would be issued next year. Neighboring villages are to be con- sulted relative to ascertaining their 'sentiment toward taking similar ac- tion, Health Officer Orvis and Trustee Doris D. Benson were appointed a committee to obtain this information at an early date, in order that such action may be taken, if desired, before the time arrives to collect dog licenses for next year. North Shore Hockey Squad Takes First Honors in Tourney The first team of the North Shore Field Hockey association won the Mid- West tournament held at Madison, Wis., Friday and Saturday, November 16 and 17. Each team entered in the tournament played three games and the All-North Shere team won each of its three games. The games on Fri- day were played in a pouring rain and the weather was so bad Saturday that the final games were played inside the stock pavilion at the university. At the banquet Saturday night, held at the Lorraine hotel, Miss May Fogg of the New Trier faculty, who was chairman of the Mid-West selection committee, announced the members of the Mid-West team. Three members of the North Shore team were honored by being selected for this represent- ative team. They are Miss Marion Montgomery, Miss Elizabeth Lamson and Miss Peggy Waidner. These three girls will go to Phila- delphia on November 27 to compete with the other members of the team in the national tournament. Following this the United States team for 1928 will be chosen. Miss Peggy Waidner was a member of the 1927 team and it is hoped that at least one of the north shore girls will make the team this year. Miss Montgomery was also appoint- ed field captain of the Mid-West team.

Rector's Sermon to Touch Upon Annual Pledges to Parish Speaking on the subject "God's Work --Our Responsibility" the Rev. E. Ash- ley Gerhard, rector, will preach at the morning service in Christ church to- morrow at 11 o'clock. This sermon will be in anticipation of the annual Parish Sunday service next week, when the members of the congregation will nresent their pledges to the church for the support of the 1929 program. For several vears this method of se- curing the pledges has been employed, rather than the customary every-mem- ber canvass. There will also be a Com- munion service in the chapel at 7:30 tomorrow morning, and on Tuesday morning of next week at 9:30. On Thanksgiving Day there will be a Celebration of the Holy Communion in the chapel at 9:30. At 10:30 the congregation of Christ church will at- tend the annval Community service at 10:30 in the Congregational church, at which the rector will preach. There will alsq be a Communion service in the chapel Friday morning of next week at 9:30, this being St. Andrew's Day. Dr. Will Durant, Philosopher, Will Speak Here Dec. 7 Dr. Will Durant, author and philos- opher, will lecture at Jane Kuppen- heimer Memorial hall, Skokie school, Friday evening, December 7, under auspices of the Winnetka League of Women Voters. His subject will be "Is Democracy a Failure?" Dr. Durant has attracted overflow audiences in nearly every large city, and nearly every state in the union. The average attendance at each lec- ture last season was 1,500. These aud- iences have been surprised, it is said, to find that as the result of long ex- perience, and a certain Gallic wit, Dr, Durant speaks even better than he writes. Hundreds of individuals have pronounced his address, "Is Progress Real?" the best lecture ever heard in their communities. "The Story of Philosophy" is Dr. Durant's best known work. EDUCATIONAL PICTURE An educational moticn picture, "The Making of an American Newspaper," was shown at the Hubbard Woods and Skokie school assemblies on Tuesday.

SARG'S PUPPETS APPEAR IN WINNETKA NEXT WEEK World Famous Marionette Troupe in Its Annual North Shore . Performances Presiding over the destinies of a troupe of mechanical dolls and manip- ulating the wires that make them live and breathe is by no means such an easy matter as is might seem to the layman, according to Ernest Briggs, who is here to arrange for the north shore performances of Tony Sarg's marionettes. The puppets who open their Chi- cago engagement Saturday, November 24 at Stevens' Eighth Street theater, will present their new extravaganza, "Christopher Columbus," at the Elm Place school, Highland Park, Monday afternoon and evening, November 26; at the Skokie school, Winnetka, Tues- day afternoon and evening, November 27, and at the Evanston Women's club auditorium, Wednesday, November 28. They will return Saturday, December 1, to Chicago. "Every year," said Mr. Briggs, "hun- dreds of would-be puppeteers apply to Mr. Sarg for positions in his shows, but not one in a hundred has even the most elemental qualifications for this work. Puppeteer Difficult Role "To handle a score or more strings attached to a figure and to make it walk, dance, and act like a human be- ing, requires a rare kind of mechanical genius, in addition to months of pains- taking practice. "To read the lines and project them from behind the scenes while working the intricate controls from a bridge above the miniature stage calls for an unusual dramatic talent. "But this is just the A - B - C of what is expected of those who breathe life into the puppets. They must also be singers, instrumentalists, scene shif- ers, and first-aid experts at a moment's notice during the perfomance. When new marionettes must be constructed or old ones repaired after the stress of an overnight jump fom one town to an- other, these versatile folk must often act as carpenters, seamstresses, beauty culturists, and even osteopaths and surgeons to their little charges. Must Imitate Animals "Nor is the diction of a Sir Henry Irving or the voice of a Galli Curci suf- ficient to satisfy the exacting demands made on a puppeteer. No Tony Sarg oroduction is complete without its an- imals, and each of the unseen actors must speak at least one animal lang- nage. 153 "Dogs, cats, lions, horses, pigs, snakes, rabbits, elephants, apes, sheep, and parrots are among the creatures introduced upon the puppet stage and whose language the members of the company must master. "Anybody who can bark like a dog, mew like a cat, imitate a pig's grunt, or a donkey's bray. has the first quali- fication essential to the successful pup- peteer." The new play, "Christopher Colum- bus," is based on Washington Irving's story of the great discoverer. The cast includes twenty-four actors, in- cluding a Portugese pirate who is de- voured, Jonah-like, by a sea monster, and a small menagerie of animals. JUNIOR RED CROSS DRIVE A Junior Red Cross drive was held at the Hubbard Woods school this week. Announcement will be made next week of the rooms making .one hundred per cent contributions. - Es
