HICAGO society is in the midst of the greatest charity 
and society event in the history of the city, and for 
that matter of the middle west. The Allied Bazaar open- 
ed Jan. 11, with great pomp and splendor in the Coliseum. 
Society women, many of whom are among the North 
Shore colonists, and hundreds of interested people from 
all walks of life are endeavoring to make one great suc- 
cess of this bazaar. The 4,000 Chicagoans who have 
given their time, money and services to the affair hope to 
make this rank second in the three large Allied bazaars 
so far given, Boston clearing $400,000, New York, $700,- 
000, it is: supposed that Chicago can clear a sum between 
the two. 
Among the notables present and taking an active 
part are Lord and Lady Aberdeen and Mme. Grouitch, 
who were also upon the North Shore considerable time 
last summer. Baron and Baroness Huard are also pres- 
ent and were guests of honor at a tea at the Blackstone 
hotel last Friday given by Mr. and Mrs. Henry W.

Simitch is a Serbian singer, who is assisting and is being 
entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Waller

( .vlanchester) is assisting at the Irish booth. Her guests 
for the opening days were Mr. and Mrs. John C. Ells-

The North Shore district feels distinctly honored by 
President Wilson’s nomination of William Phillips of 
“Highwood,” North Beverly, as Assistant Secretary of 
State. Mr. Phillips was born in Beverly 38 years ago 
and is the son of Mrs. John C. Phillips of the Moraine 
..m. He has a fine home of his own at North Beverly. 
He is now third assistant secretary of state. Mr. Phillips 
entered the diplomatic service in 1903, after his gradua- 
tion from Harvard, by going to London as private secre- 
tary of the American Ambassador. Later he served as 
second secretary of the American legation at Peking, as 
chief of the division of Far Eastern affairs in the State 
epartment, as secretary of the American Embassy in 
London, and in various other capacities. Mr. Phillips is 
a Republican. His record of promotion in the service has 
been regarded as exceptional and his elevation to a post 
second in rank only to the secretary and counselor of the 
department, is understood to have been decided upon, de- 
spite strong pressure to induce the President to make a 
political appointment. He is a former secretary of the 
orporation of Harvard University.
