_ The Junior League, which is really a national affair, 
having societies in many of the larger cities, will this year 
give their play for the benefit of War Sufferers, to be ad- 
ministered through the Emergency Aid Committee. Each 
year the Junior Leagues, made up of the debutantes and 
the older girls and often a few young matrons, give a play 
for some worthy cause. The members of the Philadelphia 
league have written the scenario of “The Ballet of Or- 
Iando,” which will be given at the Bellevue-Stratford, on 
the afternoon and evening of Feb. 2.

“The Gambol of the Gods” was the chief social func- 
tion, of last week when nearly every debutante of the 
season took some part in the dancing, music or other 
matter in the artistic combination of features which made 
up the entertainment in aid of the School of Industrial! 
Art at the Bellevue-Stratford. Miss Corinne Freeman 
headed a group of spring nymphs in the pageant of spring 
with which the affair was opened. After the Monte 
Carlo scene the cabaret specialties followed. An old- 
time dance was given by Miss Mary Stuart Wurts and 
George Kneass followed by Mrs. Sydney Emlen Hutch- 
inson, who, in an old-time, quaint costume, sang several 
songs. Another singer was Miss Elizabeth Latta, who 
carried society by storm at the recent Drexel Biddle Bible 
class concert when Mrs. Edith Mahon of Beverly Farms 
was the accompanist. Mrs. Mahon always accompanies 
Mrs. Hutchinson when she sings. Alfred I. Barton wrote 
most of the music and songs used in the performance 
and Mrs. C. Leland Harrison was chairman of the com- 
nuttee in charge. A surprise feature of the affair was 
a fashion show given by the large firms of the city show- 
ing spring styles on models who appeared on the stage and 
taen walked through the audience.

HICAGO is on the same latitude as Rome and Con- 
stantinople. It lies 600 miles nearer the equator than 
either London or Berlin. It is 600 feet above the sea 
level. Its winters are colder and its summers are—some- 
times—hotter than the same seasons in any of the above 
mentioned cities. It is peculiarly liable to sudden changes 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 5: 
of temperature. Have any of these conditions, or all of 
them, something to do with the exhilarating quality of the 
place? It is a quality that is manifested by a capacity 
for enthusiasm, which is Chicago’s most striking charac- 
teristic. No matter how much they have on hand to do 
the typical Chicagoans are generally ready to undertake 
any new project if it be properly presented. 
And now the women who have already been so suc- 
cessful in raising money for foreign relief work are 
pianning a musicale for Sunday evening in the Auditorium 
for the benefit of the Italian Red Cross. Count Bolognesi, 
Italian consul in Chicago, has promoted the affair. Among 
the patronesses are Mrs. Bryan Lathrop, Mrs. Russell 
Tyson and a host of others.

The first of a series of afternoon musicales gotten 
up under the auspices of the Musicians’ Concert manage- 
ment of New York took place Tuesday. The Musicians’ 
Concert management is an organization founded for the 
sole purpose of giving artists of distinction who are not 
widely known in America a chance to be heard. The 
problem of getting a hearing for young or unknown artists 
is a serious and expensive one, as the average impresario 
or manager charges so much for his services that it fre- 
quently costs more than the proceeds of two or three con- 
certs. This enterprise is well financed, for it will take 
three or four years for the project to prove its worth— 
and will only deduct a small amount from the proceeds of 
the concerts to pay current expenses. Among the patron- 
esses were Mesdames Ogden Armour, Emmons Blaine, 
Watson Blair, John Borden, John Carpenter, Stanley 
Field, C. M. Ely, Cyrus H. McCormick, Potter Palmer, 
Robert McGann, and papain Meeker. 
Miss Juliet Higginson of Pride’s Crossing arrived in 
Chicago last Sunday for a visit of two weeks with her 
cousins, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Higginson on Astor 
street. Miss Higginson is a great favorite in Chicago as 
well as in Boston and will be much feted while in the 
city. Mrs. Higginson gave a large luncheon for her at 
her home last Sunday. Mrs. Joseph Patterson has. also 
been a dinner hostess in her honor and among others who 
will entertain is Mrs. Arthur Ryerson, who with her 
daughter, Miss Suzette Ryerson, has just returned from 
their summer home at Cooperstown, N. Y., and will spend
