Catholic League Hears of Work Among Indians Mrs. Mark Fowler, state chairman of Indian Welfare, was the speaker at the meeting Monday of last week of the North Shore Catholic Woman's league at the Winnetka Woman's club. She told the league members of the attitude of the various women's clubs toward the Indian question, and the work that the clubs have been ac- complishing for the red-men, in bet- tering their conditions and helping them win their citizenship. Her talk was very suitably followed by a group of Indian songs given by Mrs. Wil- liam Pollard, who has sung for the league at other times, and whose pro- grams are always well received. The meeting ended with a social hour and the serving of tea. Mrs. E. C. Weis- senberg and Mrs. John Janette were the hostesses. The board met at 1 o'clock and dis- cussed work to be undertaken this Christmas for poor families. Mrs. P.

Taylorsport Early Glencoe Settlement Tells Club of Early Settlers on Lake Shore and of Reported Mormon Burial Ground Being residents of Glencoe, the members of the Woman's Library club were naturally interested in hearing of the very earliest settlement made in these parts "way back when." Miss Caroline Mcllvaine, connected with the Chicago Historical society for twenty- five years, and who has spent many years collecting data and pictures of early history and settlements in Illi- nois, in her talk to the club women on Thursday of last week, mentioned that in 1836 Anson Taylor built a large pier at what is now Harbor street and the lake, and for awhile the settlement around it was called "Taylorsport." It was built mainly in the interests of the lumber trade. Indian trails crossed and recrossed all about here and in the ravines nearby. She also men- tioned that she was informed there is a Mormon burying ground in Glen- coe. Miss McIlvaine talked more about the early settlers and trails than she did about her topic, "Romantic Vil- lages in Northern Illinois," but slides were shown of some of the first homes in northern Illinois, a few of which still are standing. She read passages from Margaret Fuller's book, "A Sum- mer on the Lakes," written about her journey from Massachusetts to Illi- nois, where she visited relatives at Dixon in 1843. Her descriptions of the groves near here, like islands of great trees in a sea of waving grass, were interesting. Miss McIlvaine said she was anxious to have more data about Illinois, and would appreciate hearing from anyone who had valuable recollections of the early days. One of the main ideas back of searching out early history is to preserve for the youth of today and their posterity the traditions of beauty, making the pioneer life dignified and interesting to the children, and giving them a feeling of the continuity of things. This study of early settlements is also justified, she said, in that we find unexpected beauty where too long we have been led to suspect the com- monplace. D. A. R. Subscribes for Two Chairs in New Hall The luncheon given at Skokie Coun- try club by the Glencoe chapter, D. A. R,, in honor of the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs, Charles E. Herrick, was the happiest and most successful the chapter has enjoyed since its in- auguration. Almost a full number of members was present and among the guests were the regents of four neigh- boring chapters. Mrs. Herrick spoke of the work of the committee on national defense and on the building in Washington of a new D. A. R. auditorium, Constitution hat which will have a seating capacity of 4,000. At the close of her address, two chairs in the hall were subscribed for, one by Mrs. Clarence T. MacNeille in honor of her mother, Mrs. Arthur W. Waughop, and one subscribed for by the chapter members in honor of their organizing regent. SECRETARY OF CLASS At a recent meeting of the junior class of Northwestern university, Miss Lois Scharf of 509 Cherry street, Win- netka, was elected class secretary.
