years; is a valued member of the Am

erts is justly popular, having filled
positions in important churches with
great ability She is now organist at
the Wicker Park Evangelical Church.
AS a recitalist and accompanist she is
constantly in demand. Criticisms OF
her artistic playing and solid must
cianship are couched in eulog1st1c
terms without exception. Miss Rob
erts is a busy instructor, and has in
stituted a novelty of her own, in pre-
pairing church organists thoroughly
for the routine of the services, thus
euuipping them to present these

MUSHROOM FANS
PURSUE ELUSIVE
MOREL TO LAIR

Morels have been blooming in the
woods for the past four weeks and
local mushroom lovers have been hay
ing their fill. The morel is rather
scarce this year but the quality is ex-
cellent. This form of mushroom known
botanically as "Morchella Deliciosa"
and "Morchella Escullentta," comes to
bearing in late May and early June
in the deep timber. A south slope is
best although very often large num-
Der may be found in unexpected
places. One tree base in an open pas
ture yielded 20 morels as big as a
mans fist this year Pickers are eau
toned not to mistake the morel for
another fungous variety very similar
and unedible if not poisonous. With
cred morels should not be plucked but
left for seed. Morels should be cut
and not torn from the ground. And
be original-morels may be found IN
any likely place-don't all go to the
same spot. Hunt new one for your
self and keep it @. T.
