i April 10, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 35 SPEAKER FOR CLUB Mexico and its Indians Vividly Depicted by Native at Wom- an's Club Meeting At the Winnetka Woman's club Tuesday, April 6, Capt. Connelly, sani- tary engineer with the United States governmént, spoke of the pathetic condition which still prevails in the Near East. It was impossible to have heard him without feeling keenly that America must care for these destitute children who are entitled to the joy of life, but who are so handicapped by circumstances. Miss Kate Watkins Tibbals, who has conducted a class in short story writing under the art and literature committee of the club, read three de- lightful compositions written by her pupils. Any one of these works would have been a credit to a finished writer, Miss Ellen Landazuri, a Mexican woman, who is taking post graduate work at the University of Chicago, was the speaker of the afternoon. Miss Landazuri is devoting her life to the interest of the Indians of Mexi- co, who, she says, are artistic, intro- spective, philosophical people possess- ing a rich, internal life. She believes, with many others, that the Indian is from the Asiatic races, as certain dominating characteristics in common with the Chinese are outstanding. There is no racial distinction in Mexi- co, as Spaniard, Mexican, and Indian intermarry. There is, however, an economical distinction. Miss Landazuri spoke enthusiastic- ally of the beautiful churches in Mexico City, and of the small towns with low roofed, picturesque houses, and winding streets, all leading to the Plaza, where the young people meet and court. Mrs. Arthur Cushman presided in the absence of Miss Ruth Matz. Tea was served by the following hostesses : Mrs. Heath Bannard, Mrs. Austin Jenkins, Mrs. Joseph Markley, Mrs. John Ritchie, Geprgs Massey, Mrs. and Mrs. J. M. Winscott. Dan Connolly Is Now a Very Proud Grandpa That unusually broad smile on Dan Connolly's face has a two-fold reason. He was very grateful for the large number of votes which he received in Tuesday's election but the arrival of Grandpa and Grandma Connolly's first grand-daughter, born at Evanston hospital last Saturday to Mr. and Mrs. John Tait, of 2439 Cowper avenue, Ev- anston, was the greatest source of re- joicing. LAMP SHADES Hand Made to Order The Lamp Studio Established 1919 620 Davis St. Over DuBreuils Edna Baker Speaks to Parent-Teacher Group At a Parent-Teacher meeting at the auditorium of the Horace Mann school, last Monday, Miss Edna Baker, presi- dent of the National Kindergarten col- lege, spoke on "Problems in Behaviour, Their Cause and Their Remedy." Tea was served afterwards. On Monday afternoon of this week the entire faculty of the Winnetka Public schools, the North Shore Coun- try Day school and New Trier High school, paid a visit to the Marshall studio in Wilmette. The visitors en- joyed the trip immensely and are very grateful to Mrs. Anita Willets Burn- ham, of Hubbard Woods, who arranged it for them. The past week has been more nearly normal, in the way of attendance at the Horace Mann school. There were few absentees on account of sickness, which had been making serious inroads on attendance records for several days. SPEAKS ON DEMOCRACY "Can Democracy Be Made Safe for the World?" will be the subject of the evening sermon by Rev. T. A. Goodwin, in the Congregational church tomorrow evening. Apropos of thse election days Mr. Goodwin will discuss the question whether the democratic form of government is one on which to pin hopes of political progress.
