Pageantry, one of the oldest of human arts and one of the most effective in depicting history, is still popular. Here is the pageant cast 

 for the Kankakee County Home Bureau 20th anniversary (oldest Home Bureau) celebration held during the past summer. The cast included 

 125 people and the pageant was written by Home Bureau women — Mrs. Ernest Saliman, Mrs. O. A. Towns and Mrs. Maurice Kimmelshue. The 

 pageant illustrated the need by the home-maker of adjusting herself to fast-changing conditions, inventions and new discoveries. Scenes illus- 

 trated nursing, cooking, interior decorating, financial management and community responsibility. 



Mrs. George A. Hawker is president of the Kankakee county organization and Miss Jessie Campbell is home adviser. 



A brilliant historical pageant was recently held in connection with the Centennial celebration at Blue Island where Donald Kirkpatrick of the

 tury pageant held at the Chicago Century of Progress Exposition,
