BY B. B. Why did a worthy bird like the dodo become eJf:tinct while the English sparrow we have· always with us? WJtat were the beginnings oi the arts and crafts. interior decorating and the highbrow movement? How and why did feminism, the uplift, the mechanical age, get their start? What was the well dressed Babbitt wearing in the year Qne billion B. C.? What was the respon~e to the cosmic urge in the happy pre-complex paleolithic days? All these questions and many others are answered in the play "As It Was in the Beginning" to be given by the Wilmette Barnstormers as the final program of the North Shore Art league. The meeting will be held in Matz hall, Winne~ka, at 8 o'clock, on May 10, and is open to the public. The play, which is directed by Miner Coburn, will be presented by the same "all-st_!lr" cast that is · to appear in it at the Goodman theater on the afternoon of May 8: · Paley O'Lith .. .... .. ..

All beverages are by Jupiter Pluvius. This play was translated by Mrs. J. A. Burrill of Wilmette, from the original fragments of what seems to have been the diary of a prehistoric flapper. Although audiences have seemed. to derive considerable entertainment from it, this is all velvet, the purpose of the play being purely didactic, in~ended to chasten and enlighten. The costuming and ~ettings, by Mrs. A. J. Coburn and Mrs. James A. Burrill, are the result of arduous and exhaustive study of that high and faroff time, and aid greatly in giving a sincere and serious presentation of the domestic life of our first families. The Art League extends a cordial invitation, not only to . artists and art lovers, but to thos~ who simply know what the}' like, to come see this play, free, gratis, for nothing, without money and without price, on Mav 10, at 8 o'clock, at Matz hall, Winn~tka.

The May Queen's attire is like that of a bride while the maids of honor in her court are clad in frocks of pastel hue. Among Miss Heller's court attendants will be Miss Emily Clagett and Miss Elizabeth Goss, both of Wilmette. l Evanston Junior League to Repeat Puppet Shows Annual Homecoming at Arden Shore on Sunday Sunday, May 6, brings the annual homecoming at Arden Shore, a red letter event each season in the lives of the many boys who have been graduated from the winter camp and return each year ~or a day's reunion.
