CLEANING AND REPAIRING So panies had 1,779,000 customers on January 1, 1928. LA A New Yorker, a man who travels considerably, was so impressed by North Shore Line service on a recent trip that he wrote the following letter to the railroad: "My work, erecting Deisel Electric Units, takes me through the country on the jump and I am sure I have ridden every good steam and electric railway in the United States but none of them gave myself and crew the pleasure of a cool, clean, dustless ride like the North Shore Line from Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha to Chicago. Your road is in a class by itself in every way from the smooth rock ballasted roadbed to the parlor-observation cars."

Will Open Festival Program in May North shore artists will give the opening program of the Chicago, North Shore Music festival at Patten gym- nasium, Evanston, on the evening of May 21, at 8 o'clock. Isabel Richardson Molter, soprano of Wilmette; Rollin Pease, Evanston baritone; Alvene Resseguie, Evanston contralto; and Eugene Dressler, Chi- cago tenor, compose the quartet which will sing Verdi's Requiem as the program for the first night. Verdi's work is a commemoration of the achievements of the Italian novel- ist and poet, Manzoni. When Man- zoni died, Verdi proposed a mass in his honor, and constructed the famous harmonic composition of the Requiem. The quartet which will present the romanticist music was selected by the trustees of the festival association on the motion of Charles W. Spofford, head of the program committee. When the north shore quartet ap- pears on the opening night, it will be another triumph for Peter Christian Lutkin, dean of the School of Music of the University. While lecturing before the Thomas class, about 1900, Dean Lutkin asserted that Evanston was ideally situated for great music festivals, the only lack being a suitable hall. With the con- struction of Patten gymnasium in 1908, "Here is Lutkin's Music Halll" became a slogan and work was begun to form a festival association. The climax of that work will be reached the evening of May 21 when north shore artists will give the gala program. Plan to Construct Bridle Paths in Highland Park The North Shore Riding association has been organized primarily for the purpose of constructing bridle paths in and about Highland Park. Many appli- cations for membership have already been received and any resident of Cock or Lake county is eligible, it is ex- plained. Gen. Robert E. Wood is president of the association, and the directors are Herbert B. Brown, Martin Insull, W. H. McKillip, Alfred K. Stern, David Levinson and Gen. Robert E. Wood. It is planned to have a good portion of the path on one of the banks of the drainage canal. Work will commence just as soon as the frost is out of the ground, it is said. The announcement was recently made of the completion of bridle paths along the banks of the drainage canal in Evanston. Persons who have seen them say that they are the equal of any paths of similar kind. It is also planned to plant trees and shrubs along the path. This will make it very attractive to the owners of the adjoining land. All who are interested may write for applications to the North Shore Riding association, 77 West Washington street, Chicago, Ill Mary Giddings' Club to Hold Its Benefit May 1 The card party arranged annually by the Mary Giddings' club for the benefit of the Illinois Children's home will take place Tuesday, May 1, at the Evanston Woman's club.
