WIL.MBTTE ~IFE · March 4, 1927 Kenilworth Quintet. to Engage Evanston Teams . The first game of the North Shore Grammar School Basketball league schedule will be. played between the three Kenilworth teams and the Boltwood teams of Evanston .Saturday !1£ternoon, March 5 ,at the Kenilworth community gymnasium. The league, which is composed of Wilmette, Evanston and Kenilworth teams, was forced to postpone its schedule because of the Boltwood school fire but is now getting under way again. . I Give~ Color Talk --------------' S h o w in g fabric$ from the most subtly designed Japanese batik to !he multi-colored modern cretonne pulsmg with "intense, jazz quality, business of design, and the hu.rly-burly quality of modern !ife," Miss Helen Parker continuPri Monday to emphasize with examples the principles of color she has taugllt the . clas~ at t.he Wom~n's club . of Wilmette at prevtous meetmgs. Applying general laws about color to specific objects, Miss Parker sub. mitted for analysis the color plans of fabric designs, after the first part of the talk spent in working out with the color chart abstract color schemes in proper ps;oportion of colors. The suitability ·of certain designs, .colors and fabrics to certain rooms was worked out in piece after piece by Miss Parker and her etas~ . . "We live with greyed colors," Miss Parker stated. We use intense note " in ~mall quantities. "In nature great areas are in greyed colors," Miss Parker reminded h-er c a udience. La r g t: groups of tree trunks are in soft greys, and small flowers are bright in color. In a landscape by Constable in the Art institute, thelfe is a [ .it of 'red color in the foreground that comes out to greet you. "The moderns before the ~ast' moderps," Mis·s .parker said, painted in high colors-Frieske, Childe Hassam, Richard Mille.r, and others. But the present moderns use "dirty" color, paint in lower values. "But then it doesn't do to generalize," the speaker added. · There is one trouble with an adjacent color scheme, Miss Parker said. It is either very warm or ve-ry cold. But by·introducing into a warm scheme a cold note and into a scheme, such as blues, a warm note, the .balance is restored. The beauty of co~or depends most of all on proportion . In speaking· of the tria tic co 1or scheme, Miss Parker again emphasized the fact that its value is greate.r variety of hue, value, and intensity, than in the adjacent scheme, and it is harder to use well. The best use of the combination of red, blue. and yellow is found in ilh.1m!nated m an u s c r i p t sl where the yellov~ :..: :; ~d is gold. This is the combination fv :_;;;;d most frequent'y in Coptic work. Miss Parker 1 took up complet11entary color and split I complementary schemes, which give a more beautiful and interesting variety. '1 o ~ he next meeting of the class on ivia .. c!~ 14, whic~-. v\'m be the last, the membe.rs will britig examples of good and bad color schemes, and Miss Parker will help. them decide why the goofi schemes are good and how the ba~ can be made better.
