March 31, 1928 WINNETKA HERE'S SPRING FARE FOR OUR BOOKWORMS Librarian Gives List of Interest- ing Material for Those Restless Spring Days By Anna L. Whitmack The restless spring days are here. It is too chilly to stay outdoors, and one is too unreasonable to settle quiet- ly indoors. It is at this time that our captious tastes command that we must have a well-written book, not too long, and entertaining, and it is to satisfy this demand that the following books are suggested. "Soul's Sincere Desire," by Glenn Clark, is inspirational Lenten reading. The author has learned to pray as a flower expands, and he very simply and quietly related his story. Political strife is no new thing, and C. G. Bowers' "Party Battles of the Jackson Period" is a brilliant study of a corrupt and dynamic era. "Fothen" by Kinglake is a classic of travel. To every new reader is re- vealed the tang, color and thrill of the young Englishman's journey to Con- stantinople in 1835. "By the City of the Long Sand" is the narrative of the wife of an oil official in China and the four homes that she made under adverse circum- stances. It is not often that a man leaves cities behind as Hans Coudenhove has done in "My African Neighbors" and spends thirty years with the people, birds and beasts of Nyasaland. Very unusual book. "South Africans," by Gertrude Millin is a penetrating study of contempor- ary Africa--its race question, people, politics and life. Rockwell Kent tells the story and illustrates it of his months spent with his nine year old son on Renard Is- [rd Alaska. Unusual and delight- ul. There is always a demand for lyric verse in the springtime, and an unusual- ly readable collection is "Lyra Celtica," a compilation of ancient and modern verse by poets of Celtic blood. "Sticks and Stones," by Lewis Mum- ford, is a provocative study of Amer- ican architecture and civilization. "Isles of Eden," by L. L. Davidson, is a delightful description of a sum- mer on an island in Loon Lake, On- tario. IN HONOR MUSIC SORORITY Miss Frances A. J. Anderson of 178 Myrtle street, Winnetka, has just been initiated into Sigma Alpha Iota, na- tional professional music sorority. The formal initiation and banquet were held Tuesday evening at the Blackstone. Miss Anderson is at present studying at the American Con- servatory of Music in Chicago. The members of Scabbard and Blade, Northwestern University Military or- ganization, were entertained by the new initiates at the Edgewater Beach hotel at a dinner dance Friday evening, March 23. The guests of honor were Captain and Mrs. E. G. Chapman and Lieutenant and Mrs. A. A. McNamee. Dr. Solomon B. Freehof read the services at the North Shore Congre- gation Israel on Friday evening, March 30. The subject of his ad- dress was "Personal Ideals and Or- ganized Religion." pe in: Baseball Takes Spotlight In New Trier Athletics New Trier's athletic program for the year now features the baseball team as its main attraction. A select squad of hurlers and catchers has now had three weeks of 'training under its belt, while the main squad of infielders and outfielders has been working out since a week ago last Tuesday. The practice, once it gets under way must be of an intensive nature because the first game scheduled is less than a month away. This game will be at Evanston on April 17, while later in the month Waukegan will visit New Trier for the first home game. Coach Aschenbach has a more experienced squad to work with than that of last year, and, although he made an ex- cellent showing last year, New Trier should have a much improved team this year. Twelve games are scheduled this year against stiff competition. Carl Schultz is manager of the team. PARTY FOR MOTHER, DAD The Mothers' club of Alpha Xi Delta of Northwestern university is holding Mothers' and Dads' night | Saturday, March 31. The evening will be spent playing bridge at the sorority house on the campus. The hosts for the affair are Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Dana 'Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. J. Thill.:: Mrs. B..P. Gibbs is president of the Mothers' as- sociation, which is having a luncheon and business meeting Monday at 12 o'clock, at the Alpha Xi Delta house. A Fence for the Small Estate These snug little suburban homesteads of two or three acres can well mark their legal limits with the fence that "fits in" admirably with artistic and comfortable surroundings. RUSTICRAFT'S hand-split timbers of tough 'young chestnut are as good to look at as they are sturdy and durable. Their natural rustic appearance actually improves with age and requires no paint or care. RUSTICRAFT is easily erected and just as easily taken down for removal.
