Neighbors Club Has November Program Club Women Asked to Aid Post Office by Not Using Under- sized Envelopes By V. H. The Neighbors club met on Tuesday afternoon, November 29, in its rooms at the Kenilworth Assembly hall. Pre- ceding the regular club program at 2:30 o'clock, there was a meeting of the philanthropy department, of which Mrs. Gilbert Kelly is chairman, for the discussion of the disbursements of their funds. Each year certain charities are considered and this is done in an open meeting of the department and later a list is presented to the entire club and is voted upon. Among the preliminary reports was one by the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Helen Hepburn, from the post- master-general urging women of the clubs to aid in the work of the post office by not using tiny and under- sized envelopes. An envelope 2% by 31% inches is the minimum size. The mail service is greatly retarded when anvthing smaller is used. Mrs. George Spangler, one of two delegates from the Neighbors to the meetings of the Tenth District Federa- tion of Women's clubs, held in the Rogers Park Woman's club early in November, gave a very lucid and ex- haustive report of these meetings. She was more enthused than ever over the work done in the women's clubs and she cited a number of especially unusual and interesting things some of the clubs are doing. The program of the afternoon, in charge of the department of art and literature, was introduced by Miss Barbara Erwin, chairman. Miss Maria Matyas, soprano, with a beautifully placed voice and charming, simple, naive manner, gave two numbers, one to open and one to close the program. The first was composed of a group of songs in English and the last, Hungar- jan Folk Songs, for which she wore native costume. Dr. Davis Edwards gave a program of modern poems, illustrating with the poems he thought were the best illus- trations of the best of our contempor- ary poetry. He is dean of the public speaking department of the Divinity school of the University of Chicago and was thoroughly conversant in his subject, handling the difficult word pictures with greatest ease and flexi- bility. He had a fine, resonant voice, which responded to every emotion. Among the poems given were Alfred Noves' conservative, "The Highway- man": Sandburg's poem-picture, "Mon- otone": Alfred Kremborg's "Idealists"; Vachel Lindsay's very modern descrip- tion. "Santa Fé Trail": James Weldon Tohnson's negro crooning from "God's Trombones"; John Masefield's contem- porary classic, "Cargoes"; and John Weaver's inimical poem of modern slang. "Mayme." Tt was a splendid prooram. The next meeting will be on Decem- ber 13. and a very special Christmas prooram has been arranged, including PI.AYERS MEET IN WILMETTE The Temple Players of The North Shore Congregation Israel will meet Sunday evening, December 4, at o'clock, at the home of Mrs. A.
