August Zl, 1926 · WILMETTE LIFE ARRANGE BOOK PARTY Children Give Piano Recital Children Lookina F c:tward to Event at Public: Ubrary Next Month; Review and, Ope1·etta Vacation Readina · With the beginning of school sessions .next .month, the children are lo~king forward to some of the social events that accompany the resumption of class work Prominent among these will be the Children's &ok party now being planned by Miss Winifred B. nght, children's librarian at the Witmete Free Public library, and which is scheduled for some time in September. At the Book party an opportunity will be given for brief discussions of books the children have been reading· <luring the vacation season. The June number of a library bulletin con.tains a story caJled "Oberon, Otherwise Bill," which is unusual in that it is composed of hidden titles of books. Miss Bright states that the boys and girls of the village will have fun guessing the titles of the books from the hidden titles in the story. She has a number of copies on hand. and is sure !hat they wHl be of interest. An example of the hidden titles follows: ~'Fa r away and long ago, in the days of giants, there lived one whom they .called, 'The girl who sat by the ashes.' Xow as she was sewing, once upon , a time, itl her granny's wonderful chair, listeninB' . to the rain on the roof, and thinking of the days when knights were bold, she fell asleep, and dreamed a dream of magic casements and of rainbow gold." A few of the many hidden title s contained in that short paragraph are "Far Away and Long Ago." "In the Days of Giants," and ··The Girl Wh9 Sa~ By the Ashes." The children on Fifth street between Maple and Isabella gave a piano recital and musical pageant last Thursday afternoon.
