Are you difident or self-conscious? Are you a sympathetic speaker? Have you objectionable mannerisms, either of voice or action? Do you know that adequate and systematic training will enable you to persuade, sway and convince an audi- ence? Whether your audience be one or one thousand, you can learn how to speak effectively and without embarrass- ment. The most basic study for effective ex- pression is the study of one's self. It matters not whether one is to teach, to preside 'at a club meeting, to sell goods, to preach, or just to count oneself an individual among others, there is a defi- nite demand which each one's occupation makes, and that is to radiate purpose, in- terest and poise--in short, to be efficient and effective. This applies to every day life quite as much as to any special oc- casion, since the way we meet the special occasion is the direct result and in pro- portion to the poise, power and self- command developed in the individual. Miss Maud Miner will open classes in Effective Speaking at the Wilmette Woman's club Monday, February 4, at 9:30 a. m. The classes will be open to every one in the village. Further in- formation may be received through Mrs. John B. Boddie or Mrs. J. A. Burrill. Miss Miner is recognized as one of the foremost teachers in this sort of work. Chicago Solo Orchestra in Peterborough Benefit HE Chicago Solo Orchestra, Eric Del.amarter, conductor, presented another novelty in its concert of January 31st at the Blackstone Theatre, in a new symphony written especially for this organization by David Stanley Smith, Dean of Music at Yale Uni- versity. While he calls the new score a '"sym- phony in miniature," the title refers par- ticularly to the lightness of its scoring, and to its brevity. It is in the tradi- tional four movements, with an intro- ductory section to the first which pre- sents a liet-motif used subsequently. The success of Dean Smith's larger orches- tral and choral works in performances both here and in other music centers of the country roused especial interest in this his first experiment with what might be called the "refined orchestra." The proceeds of this concert will go to the Edward MacDowell Colony at Peterborough, New Hampshire, which gives an opportunity to Americans for creative work along all branches of the This colony maintains summer studios for creative artists on what is practically a scholarship basis, therefore the need of additional funds is very great. Chicago Wellesley Club to Hold Midwinter Tea HE Chicago Wellesley club will give a midwinter tea at the Fortnightly club, 120 Bellevue place, Chicago, on Tuesday, February §, at 3 o'clock, in honor of the Deans, the girls and their mothers of the secondary schools. A Wellesley film will be shown. The special guests for the afternoon are Miss Charlotte H. Conant, alumna trus- tee, who will give the latest news from the college, and M.ss Edith M. Smaill of the Wellesley faculty who will do her interpretive reading. ERK WINNETKA WOMAN'S CLUB Kenilworth Happenings JOINT meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club with the League of Women Voters was held at the clubhouse on Thursday, January 24. Members of the Election committee of the League of Women Voters with Mrs. Walter Benson, as chairman, will make a polling list. Mrs. Morris L. Greeley, chairman of Efficiency in Government of the Winnetka branch will assist. Mrs. Frank Crawford, chairman of the Mem- bership committee, reports 285 new mem- bers, making a total of 822 for the local branch. Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty announced that Major Gilbert would speak at Com- munity House on the evening of Febru- ary 27, his subject, "The Romance of the Last Crusade." Major Gilbert 'was with Colonel Allenby in Palestine. His talk is most heartily commended to Win- netka people by those who heard him last year. Mrs. Cushman, chairman of the Civics and Philanthropy committee, introduced the speaker, Mr. Quincy Wright, for- merly of Minnesota, but now professor in the department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Mr. Wright's subject was "The Present Situation in Europe." The speaker urged all to vote on the Bok plan, no matter which way they voted. He himself is in favor of it. His thought is that the acceptance will not have immediate ef- fect and that it is only a plan for co- operation but that some form of co- operation with Europe is necessary. The Bok plan involves two things; that the United States shall enter the Perma- nent Court of International Justice under the conditions stated by Secretary Hughes and President Harding. This step has been approved by both political parties. International justice is now in operation. The speaker cannot see why there should be any opposition in the United States on its merit, but believes the opposition is because this tribunal originated in the League of Nations. The second half is in co- operation with the League of Nations. In touching upon the European situa- tion, Mr. Wright says that since 1919 it has been characterized by starvation and unemployment. Population has been practically exterminated in parts of the Near East; people dying at tremendous rates; that the situation is much more serious in eastern than in westefn Europe. England has its economical burden but Italy has improved. France is at present in the best way of any, and is the most nearly self sustaining of any European country. In the parts where currency has depreciated there is an extreme orgy of buying which is most demoralizing to civilization. Some think this situation may reach France. There is no stability in Europe. As a result of the war, soldiers are less willing to endure civilized life. The economic re- sult is loss of production. The system of specialized industries is broken down. Manufacturers are without markets and raw material. Instability in frontiers and changing a series of borders. in which no one is satisfied causes much dissension. There is now more misery and less stability in Europe than just after the armistice. France expects Germany to pay indemnities far in ex- cess of her capacity. Now what to do about it. Europe should be looked upon as a whole. Prosperity for one country means prosperity for all. First, the League of Nations furnishes the only instrument for doing this. Second, the political stability must precede economical rehabitation and France must feel more secure. Third, the United States can bring about financial security in Europe be- cause she is impartial. No country in Europe has confidence in the other. The United States is looked upon as being disinterested and has enormous weight.
