December 24, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 43 Volume of Poems Expresses "Feel" of Great Masters By E. W. Weber From the Top of My Column--by Eleanor Jewett--( Ralph Fletcher Sey- mour, publisher). Readers of Eleanor Jewett's (Chi- cago Tribune art critic) column will be happy to learn that the poems, re- lating to subjects under discussion, and frequently serving as introductions to her criticisms, have been collected in book form under the title, "From the Top of My Column." Art, that great stimulus to the finer emotions, often finds expression in verse from the fluent pen of Miss Jewett (who, by the way, is Mrs. Godfrey Lundberg of 435 Birch street, Winnetka), Miss Jewett possesses the rare faculty of interpreting the feeling of the artist. Other poets have found like inspiration in works of art. Miss Jewett's poems, dealing with a wide range of subjects, are in themselves worthy treasures and separately, as well as collected in book form, are to be recommended as literary con- tributions of genuine merit. An illus- tration in point: Pretty Ladies of Gainsborough (Chester Johnson Galleries). I loved when I was young, But not too much. And there were men who wrote Of moons and such; Likened my hair to skeins of silky cloud; Whispered of death to me-- But not too loud. Gold days strung on a thread of summer sky. My lips would greet them and Would kiss--""Good-bye." Love was a pretty game, I played my part. Giver of Risses, I---, But kept my heart. "From the Top of My Column" is to be found on the shelves of Miss Lulu King's book shop at 728 Elm street, Winnetka. Wilmette Man Addresses Madison Advertising Men Victor Klebba of 1526 Central ave- nue, Wilmette, gave a talk on "Busi- ness Letters," last Wednesday, before the Advertising club of Madison, Wis. Mr. Klebba's subject dealt with the writing of effective business letters. While being driven on a sight-see- ing trip around Madison, the auto- mobile in which Mr. Klebba was rid- ing skidded down an icy hill into a heavy wire fence which prevented the machine from plunging down a bluff into Lake Mendota. The machine was damaged but the occupants were unin- jured. Mr. Klebba has achieved a national reputation in business letter and di- rect-by-mail advertising work. Santa to Find Health Good in Our Villages An bundance of candy, and toys, and other gifts are essential to an ideal Christmas, but Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer for the villages of Win- netka and Kenilworth, feels that these communities have still additional cause to rejoice at this gladsome time of the year, In Kenilworth, for instance, there is at present but one quarantine case, that being a case of scarlet fever. In Winnetka the condition is equally satisfactory, Dr. Orvis explains. Tues- day, he released from quarantine four cases of whooping cough, and Santa Claus will find in Winnetka only five mild cases of chicken pox and three of mumps.
