Aprii 12, 1929 WILMETTE LIFE It A Tribute .__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __, I ( . (To ~rs. Sidney Eastman, who passed away March 9, 1929) Sidney Corning Eastman of Melrose avenue and Abbottsford road, .Kenilworth, returned last Monday after a winter spent in Pasadena and again the Eastman hom~ will be a gathering place for many · friends. The house and grounds have been ready fQr some time. With Mr. Eastman came Mrs. William Stone, a niece, wh_o will remain until after the arrival of Miss Bartlett of Washington, D. C., another niece, who will make her home with .Mr. Eastman for the present. The winte.r,'s stay in Pasadena with Mrs. Walker, the sister of Mrs. Eastman, . and directly next door to Dr. and Mrs. Stone, was inspired by the hope that a warmer climate and out-of-door life would benefit - Mrs. Eastman·~ health, but this hope was only partially fulfilled. To her countless friends she will always live a gay, joyous person of wit and charm, generous to a fault, and loving dearly the friends she dearly lO\·ed to entertain, always courageous, always dauntless, always an ideal of heroic conduct to those who came in close contact -with her fine spirit. Her life was an inspiration, her passing was heroic and the memory of her fine character is her real memorial. Coniing as she did from a family famous for its hospitality, the Halls of Ann Arbor, Mich., the Eastman home kept always "<u>en house" and 11 the latchstring was always out." To Mrs. Ea s tm~n the very word "party" breathed an incense of its own and this incen se has been burned in the past without stint to add to the happiness of countless brides-to-be and to celebrate many happy occasions. Old friends remember well her surprise for them when, to celebrate her wedding anniversary, broad white satin ribbons were suddenly stretched without warning through the crowded room s to form an aisle and to the fam iliar strains of the wedding march a heavily veiled bride came slowly down the stairs on Mr. Eastman's arm, bridal shower bouquet well in evidence, and the creamy satin gown with long train and old lace. As the company speculat ed on which niece was to be married that evening, the veil was thrown back and the hostess' merry laugh rang out a s she stood in her own wedding dre ss of many years ago to receive congratulations. Again old friends recall th e gay in souciance with which this gallant spirit im·ited all the neighbors, and I mPan all, to a piau.: luncheon on the follow ing day. And another time on which she i11..vited an adjournment for lunch eon at her home of an overlong program. on the English dramatist, Shaw. with a too enthusiastic friend as speaker. and over twenty re sponded. The writer has reason to remember this joyous affair as she was the innocent cause for this particular celebration. The last "party" shortly before the California trip was in honor of old Chicago friends including many distin2'uished men who had won high laurels in their professions. One of theevents of the evening was the rendition of t~e Balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet," enacted blithely and nimbly by the younger Pond brother of the famous firm of architect~. who took both parts with equal zest, properly posed each time according to his conception of the appropriate and at lightening speed. A kitchen table was his only property and needed to be sturdy. Who that saw and heard him can ever forget his renditio.!_l of Juliet reclining upon the kitchen table as "the balcony," her left cheek coyly propped upon a curved finger and the falsetto · voice in which ,she sought to learn Romeo's whereabouts or the quick spring with which Romeo responded in b~sso-profundo with appropriate gestures from beneath the balcony only to regain the table-balcony with flying leap, landing in the proper -reclining position in time to reply. Among the most amused at thes~ histrionic antics was our gracious hostess who was the presiding genius of this real party, "queening" it from a comfortable arm chair. It was on this occasion that she was heard to say that 11The _ E astman family always try to add to the joyous side of life and certaiqly not tq its depressions," and it was on this high note of self sacrifice and courage that she passed from our sight, but leaving her fine spirit with us as iln ideal of conduct. So she lives on. So we always think of her, the happy gracious hostess, "the great lady," the incarnation of true hospitality, and a living inspiration to countless friends-"Noblesse oblige."
