We saw everything and it little money. It can be done," says, and how, and for how much herself will relate. audience was immediately won by these artists who responded to several encores. Mr. Lawley has a beautiful tenor voice and a good control, fine enuncia- tion and convincing interpretation. His first group of songs showed to advan- tage his ability to do smooth sustained singing, while others showed his dra- matic ability. Mrs. Ernst von Ammon played very sympathetic accompani- ments. Miss Winslow, in her first group of songs, pleased the audience by the daintiness and ease of her playing which were combined with pure technique. In a later group she showed her ability to interpret music of a bolder type. After the program the meeting was adjourned and tea was served in the parlors. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Burton H. Atwood, Mrs. Fred- erick W. Burlingham, Mrs. Percival Hunter, Mrs. Thomas Ratcliffe, Mrs. James A. Richards and Mrs. Roland D. Whitman. rinnetka Woman's Club Has Excellent Program REGULAR meeting of the W'n- netka Woman's club will be held on Thursday afternoon, December at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Norman Harris, lirman of the Music department, ah- anced that the next regular meeting the club would be held on January The next meeting of the music partfnent will occur on January 17, the program will be given by Miss ;a Eitner, violinist. The program for the afternoon was ircn by Mr. Cooper Lawley, tenor, Miss Marjorie Winslow, pianist, Hth Mrs. Ernest von Ammon at the mo. Enthusiastic support of the Good Speaker And Novel Exhibition in Winnetka AN' exhibit of remarkable wood cuts by Max Thalmann, of Wei- mar, will be held in the Win- netka Woman's club at the regular meeting Thursday afternoon. The ex- hibit will be left up Thursday evening so that the men of the village will have an opportunity to see Thalmann's work. Mr. Thalmann is exhibiting in the Milwaukee Art Institute and in that of St. Paul. His work has been hailed by some of the leading critics as the greatest of the modern school. Thal- mann will be present in person at the Woman's Club exhibit, and one or more members of the club will be present to interpret for him, as he speaks no English. Arrangements have been made by which Mr. Thalmann will exhibit the technique of making wood cuts to the children at the Skokie school. Among Thalmann's exhibits will be two series, one known as "The Passion," the other as "The Cathedral." "The Passion" exhibit is in black and white, with startling light effects, the emotional setting of Christ's last days on earth. There is only a suggestion of actual portrayal of the characters in this great- est of human dramas, the effects being produced largely through the back- ground. Gesthemene, for example, is largely illustrated through a writhing tree in the garden, bleak and storm tossed, the figure of Christ being indi- cated merely by a small silhouttee, in prayer. The second series--"The Cathedral"-- consists of ten large plates representing the spiritual significance of the church. It is fascinating to see how, with simple black and white vertical lines, Thal- mann has produced an effect of spiritu- ality, of aspiration, of lofty idealism, of the imminent prescence of spiritual being. The exhibit is utterly different from any that has been seen in this country. It is through an unusual series of cir- cumstances and rare good fortune that it has been possible to secure this work for Winnetka. Mr. Percy B. Eckhart, of Kenilworth, will give a lecture on "Interesting Euro- pean Spots," illustrated with slides dur- ing the afternoon. the Mountaineer people. Miss Wells will also sing traditional ballads of the country to the accompaniment of the native dulciner. Alumnae of Smith are especially interested in the work of this school because one of the directors, Mrs. Ethel DeLong Zande, is a former Smith college student, having been graduated from there in 1901. It is hoped that there will be a large attend- ance to enjoy the interesting and de- lightful program. F. Wiedlin will review the book, "Trodden Gold," and there will be musi- cal selections by the quartette. A cor- dial invitation is extended to all of the club members to attend the meet- ing. Informal Dinner Dances Orchid and Gold Ballroom Smith, Wellesley Clubs To Have Joint Meeting THREE hundred invitations have been issued hv Miss Gertrude r Gladwin, of 2323 Orrington ave- nue, Evanston, for the next meeting of the Evanston Smith club to be held at Miss Gladwin's home on Wednesday afternoon, January 9. Members of the North Shore Smith and Wellesley Cir- cles are the invited guests. Miss Evelyn Wells, a graduate of Wellesley in the class of 1913, who is the secretary of the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Pine Mountain, Kentucky, will be the speaker of the afternoon. Because of her six years of experience while work- ing in the settlement school she is well suited to put into her story a flavor of R. E. P.
