12 WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1924 Telephone Wilmette 37 INSURANCE Business, Life, Estate Annuities, Endowments, Trusts J. E. SWIFT TEAL 1017 Central Avenue Wilmette, Illinois fiiN SOCIETY_ Hear Story of Play at Skeezix Hour you believe in fairies-or in dolls that play and walk and talk? You really should, according to the author of Racketty Packett\" House, the play which will be given by students of the !\atioi1ai Kindergarten and Elementary college for north shore children 'aturday, December 13, at the W.oman's Club of Evanston. The foreword, signed by Crosspatch, Queen of the Fairies, says "If YOU think dolls never do anything you don't see them do you are ~·en· much mistaken. When people are not looking they can do an):thing they choose. They can dance and sing and play the piano and have all sorts of fun. Fairies know this and of course fairies visit in all the dolls' houses where the dolls are agreeable." However, if there are any children who d9ubt the aliveness of dolls, Racketty Packetty House offers an excellent opportunity for each one to see with his own eyes the antics of Ridiklis, Gustibus, Peter Piper and the other dolls who have lived in Racketty Packetty House for three generations-to say nothing of the sc.ornful sniffs and tiffs of the· lord and lady dolls in Tidy Castle. The story of Racketty Packetty House will be told over the Tribune radio station, WGN, during Skeezix Hour on Saturday, December 6, by Mrs. Wm. De Mille of Evanston, so that children "·ho have not read the story may be ready for the rollicking fun of these "come to life" dolls. ~onuch leads" I RetaU Grocers, No. Manchester, Ind.~ 11QVALITr roa. -::_~~,.
