W·ILMETTE LIF·E At t~e Neighbors · 8,. V. H. L The Neighbors of Kenilworth held its annual luncheon and business meeting on Tuesday of this week. There was a large reservation for the luncheon .and nearly every one re.mained throughout the afternoon to hear the reports of the various officers and chairmen of the different committees of the club. :Mrs . .Fred Bulley, as chairman of the social committee, had charge of · the luncheon which was delicious, and Mrs. Harry Timmins arranged the tables which were most artistically decorated in groupings of spring flowers, with deep lavender prevailing. To this · she added tall violet colored candles and the effect was very lovely. After the tabl~c; were cleared, the program of the afternoon was opened with two cello solos by Miss Lois Biehl. Mrs. Farley taen called the meeting to order and asked the secretary to read the minutes of the last regular meeting. Following this. Mrs. Farley handed the gavel to the newly appointed vice-president, Mrs. Charles R. Erwin, whom she graciously introduced to the members, and then read her message of greeting and appreciation to the dub and to the members of the board. Mrs. Farley's report was received with unusual response from the members. Mrs. Lyon Ross gave a very sincere word of appreciation of the earnest, painstaking, and beautiful ·work done by Mrs. Farley the past two y~ars and the entire club arose in immediate response to her words. Mrs. Charles Bent then gave the re' port and resume· of the work done by the vice-president and ~ave a clear survey of the prQgram offered during her term of office. Mrs. Bent has recently been requested to resign as vice-president of the club that the club miJ!"ht · elect her the · new president. The board nominated Mrs. Charles Erwin to fill her unexpired term. Mrs. Helen Hepurn responded to the request for the report of the corresponding secretary . which office she hac; filled so excellently for two years. Mrs. John Rathbone then gave .the financial report which showed the club in excellent financial condition. Those reporting the work of their respective departments were Mrs. Gilbert Kelly, philanthropic department ; Mrs. Joseph Joyce, the work of cooperation with war veterans: Mrs. Arthur Ruf, the work of the New Trier Infant Welfare station (both of the last working with the philanthropy department); Mrs. G~orge Richards of the department of Education ; Miss Barbara Erwin, art and literature d~ partment: Mrs. A. B. Spach, music depa-rtment; and Mrs. Fred Bttlley,, the social department. · Among the charities aided through the philanthropies of the Neighbors are the following : Grosse Point Health n _ ·- e f - t s - r Center, work of Judge Mary Bartelme Arden Shore, Illinois Children's home: Northwes.t ern settlement, Chicago Commons, Co-operaton with War Infant Welfare and Veterans, the K em ·1worth W elfare association. ' · T.he report of the work done .in the · d·fferen t b ranc h es was a stimulus to all of the members and showed what splendid work the women are doing. The chairmen of the committees to affiliated organizations were next in line for reports. Mrs. Joseph White, the Drama League: Mrs. Harry Harrison, the Municipal Art league; Mrs. Edwin Bluthardt, the Civic Music asso~iation; Mrs. Frank Cherry, the Wtld Flower Preservation society; and Mrs. Ward Starrett, the Junior Neighbors. Each report was individual and carefuJly wQrked out and each gave to the assemblage a fine idea of the work covered in the particular activity in which she was interested. It is an inspiration to know what extensive work is being done in the preservation of Wild Flowers and what effort is being made to keep our native, fast-disappearing flowers in our woods and forest preserves. This week is Forestry week and this society is working out a plan whereby it is hoped that fifty million trees will be planted in Illi- 1. h ~. s. e ~ . .. , e f s ~ e ~ tl f d t1 11 e s s e Will county a good start is being made ~ with the planting of 3,000 crab apple trees, this week. Acting on the suggestion of Mrs. Cherry a new department was added to the Neighbors, called a Garden department. Kenilworth has already two garden clubs but because of their limited member- . ship the club felt the new department necessary. Mrs. Tom Dix gave an outline of the work done by the membership committee; Mrs. Richard Johnston of the American Home, and Mrs. Bruce Crandall, The Club Woman's World, a magazine for club women. · After short discussions and a repo!t by the revisions committee, the tellers gave the result of the election : the following officers were elected for the next two years: Mrs. C. Howard Bent, president; Mrs. Charles D. Dubsky, corresponding secretary; Mrs. John T. Dix, chairman of the department of education ; Mrs. Edwin Bluthardt, chairman of the department of music; and Mrs. John C. Carpenter, social chaitman. The meeting adjourned until fall, Mrs. Bent announcing a board meeting to be held, May 1, at Mrs. Farley's home on Abbottsford road. · Cornelius Van Schaack, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Van Schaack of 614 Linden avenue, has returned to the University of Illinois after spending the spring vacation at home. . -o- oo~ ~ri~ilie ~~fin ~ML ~ ~~~ag~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DRIVEWAYS Built atl lWiniabtd E1tinMta FtH LANDSCAPING ·ml Gruing Don.
