BEN GREET AT RAvINIA
Famous Players and Walter Damrosch
Orchestra at Ravinia Thursday

Famous Players and Walter Damrosch
Orchestra at Ravinia Thursday
On next Thursday evening, July Is,
at $50 p. m. an extraordinary outdoor
production Of Shakespeare mid
summer Nights Dream" will be
given at Ravinia Park by the Ben
Greet Woodland Players and the New
York Symphony orchestra under the
direction of Mr.. Walter Damrosch.
This is a repetition at the request
of many thousands who we're unable
to attend the performance last Tues
day night, July 9. It is safe to say
that such wonderful combination as
the Ben Greet Players and the New
York Symphony orchestra has never
been seen under such ideal condi-
tons as this outdoor performance
affords. Mendelssohn's music is en-
traucing, containing besides the
Overture beautiful tNocturne"
"Dance of the Fairies and "Wed-
ding March," which SO wonderfully
fit into Shakespeare ideal that it
makes the performance complete and
fascinating. The management Of
Ravin1a Park are making special
efforts to have seats for everyone and
will ask that those desiring tickets
should order them as early as posi-
BILE in order to give the management
an opportunity to secure even more
seats than they already have.
A special train for Ravinia Park
will leave Racine at ISIS p. m., stop
ping only at Kenosha at 7:3O p. M,
arriving at Ravinia Park at 8:25 r. m.
This train will run from Ravinia Park
to Racine Immediately after the per-
Torrance, stopping only at Kerosha.
It has been arranged to have local
cars at Kenosha and Racine to carry
passengers from those stations into
these respective towns immediately
upon arrival of the c. & M. E. special
from Ravinia Park. j1s

the articles to be had is really ex.
quisite. Not every woman can afford
a buckle, a pendant or a chain wrought
by Salique, or even by one OF the
lesser masters Of the art. but one can
ind for a comparatively small sum
jewelry that is artistically lovely. The
Celtic jewelry, 30 called because the
o~riginators resorted to carvings upon
the roadside crosses and monuments
found wherever the Celts had passed
Is charming In form and coloring. The
Illuminated missals and Bibles OF
early days also have furnished designs
for these ornaments, and the semi.
precious stones have been united with
the various shades In metals into
beautiful color schemes.
The flattened and twisted dull silver
and gold bands Of the settings hold
cabochon stones, dull pink or green
tourmalines. turquoise matrix, Mexi.
can fire opals or opal matrix, beryls,
amethyst. chrysoprase, jade, mala.
chite. Hatpins, necklets, pendants,
brooches. buckles, etc, are made In
these Celtic designs, and outside this
class are hundreds of odd and beauti.
full designs, carried out in the same
fine metal work and semi-precious
stones. Some Of these ornaments are
shown in the illustration.
Some very odd and attractive rings
are also to be had In this jewelry, and
IL n desires. unset stones can be
bought and set to order for finger
rings. One very stunning little finger
ring made in this way was a carved
malachite scarab stone, set in a heavy
snake seal ring, from which the center
had to be cut to accommodate the
stone. Another very beautiful ring was
one with a very large oblong square
stone In turquoise matrix, set In gold,
the design being a carved lion on
either side, the head and claws OF the
animals holding the stone and the
body and tails forming the ring.

But society is not necessarily wicked? 1t is worse than that; l am
afraid it is stupid. My principal commandment is, "Thou shalt not be
dull" You can't always live up to it, but at least cultivate the idea as
much as possible.
Society in America is not based on a peerage, but upon a greed for
power.
Money opens any door, anywhere in the world. Society with the
biggest S is a society with the biggest purse. Since the middle classes
have become Sc rich in England there is really no objection to them
There never ought to have been at any time, l suppose, but, now that they
can buy automobiles, and carriages, and town houses, and shooting boxes,
and all that sort of thing, they mingle with the smart set quite inohen-
sicly.
Social ambition is only another means TO get rich. The interesting
difference between English society and American society is its complete
reversal of incentive. In England the man annihiates his past if he
can, by seeking a title that will excuse it in the eyes of the smart world.
In America there is no significance to anything but a fortune, an elastic
ever devouring instinct for power. The millionaire must 90 on till he is
a Millionaire, or be swept off his feet. He can't escape, and he has be-.
gun his struggle for power; and, c. course, in this tremendous fight for
supremacy in business the human elements of his life become dwarfed,
yet threatening his peace of mind at any moment.
In the rush for power, in the fearful absorption of the millionaire
struggle to keep on his feet, he neglects his wife. l have seer her type
