delightful roof garden for which DR.. I
/ Wilcox made the iron cornices, gar
goyles and other metal fixtures himself
! in his work shop which is most COM
plete affair in itself. The house is of
| cement and is SO arranged that the wide
porches may be thrown into the rooms
as they were Friday evening. Decked
as they were with oriental hangings
and lighted with quaint Japanese lam
terms they furnished most attractive
hooks and corners from which beauti-
| full views off over Lake Calhoun could
i be glimpsed
4 About twenty-five couples enjoyed the
(, program Of informal numbers furnished
i by string orchestra and later supper
was served on the porches. The deco

The Bethel board could not have
planned it's musical, which will be given
Tuesday evening at the home of Mr.

ems avenue, at better time, for there
is so little going on at present that
the affair will be more appreciated than
at more crowded time. The program
will be given by a quartet Of young
fgirls and will include quartets, duets,
solos and even Rotations. It will be
8 the first time that the beautiful Pills
e bury home has been thrown open for
many years, as the family has been in
mourning or away, so that additional
1t interest centers in the entertainment
{ Mrs. Pillsbury will be assisted by Mrs
/ David Percy Jones, the president Of the
/, board, and the other members will be

: several years ago, when Mrs. T. A
Barnes organized it and devoted on,

needle than in a scrubbing brush. Nov
they have all that they can do, and fin'
a ready market for everything the,
