Tf1ey are wise, who, in the contemplation of their activities, set aside a definite place for the entertainment oi children. Youngsters on the north shore always have been favorably smiled upon by the gods, and, since our own residence on the north shore during our growing years, we cannot help but note how each seas.on marks a little larger circle of entertainments for little folk on the calendar of organization activity. For several weeks notices have come to us of a production entirely local that promises an appeal to every child and to the child that remains in the heart of many adults. Again this week we hear: "Saturday, March 3, will be a red letter day for north shore children when the charming play, 'Racketty Packetty House,' will be given at . the National Kindergarten and Elementary college in two performances, one at 10 :30· in the morning, and the other, a matinee at 2:15. A delicious interperformance luncheon will be served from 12 until 2. A sale of unusual cookies and candy favors will be another feature of the day. "The play, which is SIJ'.~' Y:;ored by the North Shore Alumnae association of the college, will be given by college students who are now in training with Miss Etta Mount, pageantry director of the college faculty. "Mrs. Alfred R. Bates, president of the North Shore Alumnae association, is general chairman for the event. Miss Anna F. Murray is in charge of the ticket sale. Mrs. Robert R. Jarvie is treasurer, and Mrs. Florence S. Capron is in charge of publicity. "Mrs. Percy Arden and Miss Violet Rush, with their committee, are planning an unusually attractive sale of cookies and candy favors. Mrs. P. B. Kohlsaat with Mrs. George M. Groves, Mrs. Harry C. Phillips, and Miss Dorothea Zorn, has planned a delicious luncheon appropriate for children and their elders. Mrs. L. L. Lane is in charge of table decotations and servin.r. Mrs. R. L. Schmidt and Miss Willmina Townes are in charge of ushers. "Altogether the day will be a very happy one for everyone. 'Racketty Packetty House' is a great favorite with children and the student cast is most enthusiastic in its preparations. "Reservations for the luncheon must be made by March 2, with Miss Virginia Solbery at the college, Greenleaf 221. Tickets may be secured at the college, at Chandler's, Davis street. Evanston, or at the door on March 3." Photo by Wilhite Photo bJ' Reick ,,
