The bride looked charming in a gown of ivory white satin. Her · veil was ivory colored tulle, and she wore small cap of rare old lace caught at the back of the neck by a spray of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of Easter lilies and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaids' dresses were of pa · ~ green tulle over green taffeta. They were all made alike and of three shades of green.

In the absence of Lionel . Robertson, president of the North Shore Art league, Dndley Crafts Watson served as ma5ter of ceremonies at the annual banquet held April 4, at Community House. Mr. Watson gave a short introductory talk, emphasizing the value of an art school to the Art institute and .the citv. "The North Shore Art league I look· upon, primarily as a producing organ," he remarked. Miss Olive Grover was introduced as the head of the art department at New Trier high school, under whose leader3hip the very fine posters exhibited in the corridor were painted. Miss Grover told of the origin and work of her class in stagecraft, which had produced the model stages shown. Miss Grover's talk was followed by a short program played by that talented Wilmette group, the Swigart trio, which had al o played during the dinner. Their first number was a Serenade bv Bach, the second was Hartman's -"Peasant Dance," and as an encore they played Victor Herbert's .,Serenade." George Swigart . is violinist of the trio, Estelle Swigart is 'cellist, and Frances Anderson, pianist. Mr. Watson then introduced Alden F. Brooks, who recently celebrated his ninety-third birthday. as one of Chicago's foremost artists. Following thi's introduction. Mr. Watson announced two prizes, f >r the awarding of which the League m(mbers were asked to vote. The first prize, offered by the League. was a $50 one, and was to go to an oil painting The second was $25 offered by Mrs. Edward Brion of Glencoe for any of the exhibit.;. The Rev. Von Ogden Vogt of Chicago, the speaker of the evening, was very gracefully introduced by Mr. Watson. He spoke on "Religion and Art." and began with his definition of religion. "Religion is the comprehending spirit. the setting aside of the moment when you seek imaginatively to understand all thing<3." Dr. Vogt spoke of the many profound things that the artist has in common with the mvstic. Intellectuallv considered, he rema~ked, art and religion have the same _ philosophical principles of the integrity of life. The idea that persons are end'3 in themselves, not means to ends. has been adopted into most religions, said the speaker. Art is a creative thing, Dr. Vogt belie...-es. and to prove hi·3 point he mentioned the fact that art products are spoken of as "works," not as "idea -." The mystic experience he defined as the "leaving .behind of many things, and approaching the oneness of things." It involves not only feeling about life, but aho thinking and doing omethinoabout it. Dr. Vogt said that it makes him realize that he can perform creatively his part. . Dr. Vogt next pointed out the fact that there i- no culture which ha::n't come from a religious cult. and that this culture is something more than a few paintin~s. All the great artsSaracen, Japanese, Florentine. and others-ha ..·e grown out of religious cult3. He also pointed out the fact that many per ons are "cultivated" without being "cultured." One can't be cultured, he believes, without being specifically religious, though one can be cultivated. Near the end of his talk, Dr. Vogt said that he is esthetically unhappy ith our country, because we have not yet achieved a culture of our own, and r marked, "Chicaao ;, fast becoming a Photo by Reick Mr. and Mrs. Louis Melind of 693 Sheridan road, Wilmette, announce the ~ngagement of their daughter, Marcellite. to David Brooks Sterrett of Evanston, son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
