= 36 WINNETKA TALK December 1, 1928 Benefits Are to Include Entertainment for Children Christmas Carnival Puppet Show to Be N. K. E. C. Benefit Christmas shopping combined with jollity is the plan for the Christmas carnival to be presented at the Na- tional Kindergarten and Elementary college on December 7, by the faculty. Gifts which carry distinction have been specially imported for the sale. Russian and Italian jewelry, Korean brass, pottery glazed in clear blue from Kentucky, hand loom linens, fresh and crisp from Berea, and many more articles will be on sale at prices which will tempt the most conservative pur- chaser. A plate supper will be served at 6 o'clock to those making reservations, and waffles and coffee, hot dogs, taffy apples, and ice cream sandwiches will be on sale all afternoon and evening. Ikey's Pawn shop will furnish start- ling bargains and the children's booth will offer doll clothes, children's play room aprons, and many other useful articles. A miscellaneous booth is featuring many useful and decorative household articles. Fortune telling by professionals, dancing, and a clever puppet show will add to the gayety. - The carnival, which opens at 4 in the afternoon and continues all eve- ning, is in charge of Miss Willmina ownes, with Miss Jessie Weiler and Miss Elizabeth Middleton assisting as co-chairmen. The hope of increasing the college building fund to make pos- sible the finishing of the third floor of Harrison hall is a great spur to the faculty in making a success of the carnival. Seeing the bean stalk really grow will surely add to the mystery of "Jack and the Bean Stalk," the puppet show to be given at the Christmas carnival. The production will run true to form when Jack chops down the bean stalk and runs off with the hen that laid the golden eggs. The characters of Jack and his mother, the butcher's boy, the big old giant" and his wife, the cow and the famous hen that laid the golden eggs are most realistic. The show, which will be one of the attractions of the carnival, will be given in the college auditorium. Miss Miriam Brubaker and Miss Edith Maddox of the chil- dren's school are the producers of this show which they originally made for the school children of Kalamazoo. Cherry and Ash Circles Planning Benefit Bridge The Cherry Street circle and the Ash Street circle are sponsoring a benefit bridge party on Thursday, December 6, at 2 o'clock, in the Neighborhood room of Community House for the purpose of aiding the less fortunate ones at Christmas time.

The coming production will be given by the Children's Theater of Evanston which is sponsored by the Evanston public schools in conjunction with the Northwestern university school of speech. The players are from the school of speech with children from the dra- matic department of the public schools to play the children's roles.

Indian Hill club, profusely decorated with flowers of autumn hues made a particularly lovely setting for both the ceremony and the reception which fol- lowed. The fireplace, before which the services was read at 4:30 o'clock, by the Rev. George Roberts, was banked with ferns. The bride's gown was a delightful combination of the old and new in style. It was fashioned of deep ivory tinted sa- tin with a long full overskirt forming a train in back, divided in front and edged with wide d'Alencon lace ex- tending up to the waistline. The long, cream colored, tulle veil fell from a close fiitting cap made of the lace and trimmed with orange blossoms. The bride carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and orchids.

The first one in the bridal procession wore a gown of copper colored tulle made with a long skirt of three tiers of small pleats and a long tight bodice with a little gold embroidery on it matching her cap of gold embroider- ed net. The other gowns were the same but each a little lighter in shade. The maid of honor, Miss Ashton Wilson of Fayetteville, S. C. was gowned in similar fashion in a delicate shade of peach. The slippers of each attendant matched her gown and the bouquets were of small button chry- santhemums, their flowers blending in color with the lovely graduated shades of the gowns. The bride's small sister, Josephine Mary attended as flower girl and wore a frock of peach colored crepe de chine made with an ivory lace bertha.
