But we let her stay and then asked her if she had been interested. "Interested? I'm amazed! I have never seen such attention and application given by children--and for three hours! How do you do it?" The answer is simple. Every child likes to play. And here is study presented from the play angle. keep!

Barber places on Church road, Winnetka, and which can be treated as a single unit. In 1867 a Mr. lived on the Barber place and had the present house built. His daughter was married to Mr. Deily who bought the land to the south, now owned by Mr. Kiewik. Here he built a cottage for his bride and it was here that George Deily, still a resident of Winnetka, was born. George says he planted the walnut tree in front of the house but will not admit that he also planted the butternut tree, now standing in front on the Barber place. It looks suspicious. He said the house on the Barber place, was built sixty, or more, years ago and Nic Schafehen confirms it. George says it was built for his Baxter owned and grandfather Baxter by Mr. Schafe- hen's step-father, the elder Anton Clifford, that splendid builder, who szid he "built by the square because the mitre was not accurate enough." George says the sills are 8x8, hand- hewn oak, and undressed white pine was used throughout the house. The timber is heavier than is used in the modern home and all is in as perfect condition as though just delivered from the wood-yard. Mr. Baxter sold the Barber place to a well known minister, Rev. Boyn- ton. There lived Charles, Wilbur and Rose. The latter was a teacher in a Winnetka school. All old timers agree they had many a fine time in the old house and that Boynton carried on a fine truck garden. Mr. Kiewik bought the Deily place in the early nineties and has re- modeled the cottage twice. Subdivid- ing this property, he has laid out a street connecting Church road with the new boulevard. This street he calls Sunset road and, eventually, it will pass under the railroads and con- nect with Wilson street. In 1900 Mr. Barber bought the Boynton place and in these twenty- seven years, under the supervision of the chatelaine, it gradually grew from a truck garden into a place of beauty akin to a lovely park. A commuter once said: "I never open my morning paper until I have passed the Barber place." A new order of things has come. The new, wide street has spoiled the exclusiveness and much of the beauty of the place and it has been subdi- vided. Lot No. 1 on Church road and lot No. 5 on the boulevard will be re- tained by Mr. Barber. Lot No. 4 has been purchased by a Mr. Mainard who is to break ground immediately for an expensive brick house. While we reminisce about the pleas- ant times we have passed in the old house in the distant past, we have no time for long reeret at its passing as an un-to-date age is pressing hard upon us. SHOWER ON RIRTHDAY Two birthdavs will be celebrated and a shower will be given Thursday after- noon at the Tohn C. Cobb home at 615 Elm street.
