At 7:30 o'clock a meeting for women had been called and the parlor of the club waa filled with representative Wilmette women. Mrs. Kellogg Falrbank of Chicago, chairman of the national finance com- mittee for the west of the Progressive party, addressed the ladles and later addressed the general meeting which had been called for 8 o'clock. Mrs. John A, Ripple was chosen chairman for Wilmette, and the meet* ing adjourned to attend the general meeting, of which Mr. G. E. Femald was chairman. The hall waa filled, nearly erery/seat was taken and the speakers'were enthusiastically received. Mrs. D. Macauley and Mrs, Stattman fore members of the organisation have gathered to hear Virginia Brooks. By beeir accustomedto seeing their pa-18ome vatottaeetkCircumstances she. led the singing, and were accompa- nied at the piano by Mrs. Charles Prescott ' The first speaker was Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, whose subject waa The Financing of the Progressive Party." Mrs. Falrbank spoke of the certificates which were to "be sold, ranging from $1 to $1,000, which entitled the pur- chasers to charter membership in the Progressive party. She also spoke of the progressive stamp books, which sold for $1 fox twenty stamps, very similar to the Red Cross stamps, used at holiday time. This, she said, was woman's opportunity to help the cause. Mr. John Ripple was chosen chairman to work after the sale of the certificates and stamps in Wil- mette.

They'are many and sensible. For instance, the sudden fall changes in weather are respon- sible for many of the winter ills and ailments. Persona do not consider how much-the shoe man has to con- sider hygiene and health, in" making up the styles and very few realise what an important nerve center the ankle is, and how sensitive and sus- ceptible It is to atmospheric condi- tions. They realise it decidedly when they receive a alight blow on the ankle or a more serious injury, like a sprain. Expose of Feet Oansarotaa. "Colds are contracted more readily from exposure of the feet and ankles to cold and moisture than from any other source, and shoe dealers have known for years that more sickness is caused by Improper footwear than from any other cause. "Everybody should be provided by Oct 1 wttJt proper and seasonable shoes and the low kind should be laid aside or thrown away. "Ailments contracted In the early fall, caused by the feet being poorly protected, are ailments that weaken the human system, lower the vitality and leave one in poor physical condi- tion to withstand the rigors of win- ter. This Is the flme oflne. year whan unexpected and sudden changes fn the weather lay the first seeds of rtieumathmv an ailment which, once started, lasts through life. Low shoes, no matter how comfortable ha sum- mer and hot weather, are a posttive menace to Hfe and health when the rigors of a northern climate start in. The great American afljaent of broken arches can be traced directly to the lack of proper protection of the sensitive nerves of ankle and in- step.

Through the courtesy of the Woman's/club the study class held its meetings In the Woman's club house. The number soon increased to forty-five most enthusiastic members. Mrs. D. B. Macauley was the origi- nator of the plan and was made chair- man of the cbms. The object of the class Is for Individual development to attain a higher appreciation of music in our community. The old masters were well represented in well writ- ten papers, vocal and instrumental, and although the programa were some- what Impromptu, all were mtenssiy interesting. The nine modem composers win be represented this yeaTi Including Grieg, MacDoweU. Debussy, COiammade, Shuett etc; It baa been very gratify- ing to find so much musical talent In Wilmette. The board of directors of the Woman's club this* spring voted to add the music study class as a new mu- sical department of the Woman's dub. Members of the Woman's club become members of the study payment of $1. Non-members of'the Woman's club may Sola on- payment of $2.
