WILMETTE LIFE August 3, 1928 Norlh Shore Society Grows Quieter as Summer Advances Arden Shore Proves Hospitable Hostess on I fs Picni~ Day BY JEAN TEN BROECK Bride-Elect Junior Auxiliary of Club Lists Eight New Members At a business meeting on July 26, the Junior auxiliary of the Woman's club of Wilmette accepted eight applications for membership. The new members are Gertrude Brown, Mary Elizabeth Marshall, Mary Martin, Ruth Shellman, Margery Smith, Vivian vVarren, Bessie Weiss, and Coralee Whitsett. The total membership of the a·uxiliary is now sixty. Betty Hunt, chairman of the philanthropy committee, put into effect the method by which the entertainment of the little girls of the King's Daughters club of Evanston, which is the main philanthropical work of the auxiliary, will be carried on. In order to have all the members of the auxiliary come in contact with the little Evanston girls, every week four different girls will be responsible for one evening or afternoon of entertainment for the King's Daughters. This entertainment takes the form of either a moving picture or a swimming party. The auxiliary plans to welcome its new members at the next meeting on August 9. Reservations for the dinner, which will start the program at the Woman's club, are to be made with Florence Branson, 817 Central avenue, before August 8, it is announced. Flowers Sent in to Guild Carry Joy to City Poor Residents of this village who are giving of the bounty of their gardens for the poor and under-pr.ivileged of Chicago through the Chicago Plant, Flower, and Fruit guild, will be interested in the letter sent to them through the local ~hairman from Miss Edna L. Foley, superintendent of the Visiting Nurses' association of Chicago. Miss Foley states: "I wish that the flower lovel"s who s. e nt our sub-stations flowers last week could have seen the pleasure they gave nurses and patients alike. One patient said that she would not take a five dollar bill for the flowers that were taken in to her, and. one nurse at Hull House has been so unwise as to promise a poor old shut-in that she may expect flowers every Tuesday thro!Jghout the summer. Some yellow roses that went to North avenue were particularly lovely." Every person who has a garden is reminded that the Chicago Plant~ Flower, and Fruit guild is the connecting link between t.be gardens and the slums. Those wishing to share flo'-":ers may do so by taking them to any early morning train on the North \Vestern line, and if no member of the family is going into Chicago, the flowers may be given to the trainman who will see that they reach the Guild booth at Gate 16 of the Chicago station of the North Western. At 11 o'clock each day, the flowers are sent out according to the following schedule: 1 · Arden Shore has held its annual pknic day. The grayness of last ·Friqay and the uncertainty whether or not rain or sunshine was to be the final decision of that fictitious person of changeable disposition, the weather man, did not deter more than fifty guests, members of the Arden Shore association and their friends, from accepting the camp's invitation to be its guests on July 27. Thes-e visitors learned much about Arden Shore. They heard of its progress, of its policy, and of its needs through the brief and informative talks of Miss Bridge, the camp superintendent, and a group of her workers. Arden Shore has achieved its success because of the intense personal inter~st its friends have given to its workers and its campers, Miss Bridge emphasized. The humaness of that interest manifests itself throughout the camp. Arden Shore, these talks stressed, does not rest content with offering its mothers and children comfortable airy abodes, with wholesome nourish~ ing food and lots of fresh ai~ and entertainment, but is following a constructive policy. It now includes instruction in handicraft and nature study, and this season expects to Ja~nch a beach program with swimflUng taught by a regular life guard. To further its progress and expand its policy, Arden Shore needs the continued interest and aid of its friends so many of whom live on the north shore. Guests of the camp partook of their box luncheons at tables in the dining room of the Administration building and sipped the coffee and tea the camp se~ved, from · sp~ons purchased by the Wilmette comm1ttee with the soap wrappers and soap flake panels it collects _ ~~.ntinuously. With interest the guests listened to reports of the work~rs and then visited the camp buildmgs. They saw the display of specimens of plant and insect life mounted as examples to aid in the instruction of nature work. · T~e guests strolled through the paths Ieadmg to the snug brown cottages screened and open to catch everv breeze, wherein the campers are housed. They inspected many of the C?ttages, some of which have been given as mell}orials. The vi~itors saw "Barberry Cottage," a charm~?g nursery; "The Peppers' Cott~ges, where several of this group of girls from 13 to 18 years whose work it is to wait on the camp tables were most hospitable little hostesse~ on a tour. ~f their two dormitories and cottage hvmg room. Inspection was made ,?f the cottage for the "Mary Janes, the group of girls sent out by th~ boa.rd of education to rest and gam Weight; of the abode of the "Cinderellas," girls from 8 to 12 years of a~e, whose handicraft work was on d 1 0f h tsp ay; t e attractive little cottage for elderly WOfl.len, at present the h o~e o f t h ree grandmothers one It a 1 :r · h - German ' . the Ian, one -~ns ' one "Baby Fold"; "Gingerbread Cottage, f d · · ~r un e:nounshed and convalescent g1rls; "Tm-Can-EU," for boys from 3 t 19 ? , per cent un.derweight; "Boyvtlle,, whose name IS s.elf-explanatory; and ·Beach House." "Beach House," who paint is of the · hue of the sand, is the recent gift of the Winnetka Arden Shore board. It sta~ds on the beach high on its foundatiOn posts, reminding one of an I Photo by H. Holbrook Miss Helen Marie Seng is one . of the north shore brides-elect. Her betrothal to Marshall Cresap Corns, son of Mr. and Mrs. 0. G. Corns of Wilmette was announced last week by her parents, Mr. and Mrs, Julius T. Seng of 1222 Chestnut avenue, Wilmette. Club Vista del Lago Scene of Many Parties A number of north shore residents have entertained recently at the Club Vista del Lago. Mrs. P. Hunter of 510 Ash street, Winnetka, has been giving a series of parties lately. On Wednesday, a bridge luncheon was given, which was followed by another on Thursday.

Ex-Service Committee Adds Party to Its List The Ex-Service committee of the \Voman's club of Wilmette added another party to ·its list of activities last Thursday afternoon. A bridge party, given a week ago Thursday in the lovely home of Mrs. R. A. vVheeler at 89 Robsart road, Kenilworth, was a welcome break in the summer's activities. Each member of the committee was responsible for one table, and some members. filled more, so that there were about seventy-five guests at the party. The players pivoted. The money raised will be used to pay for the rent and coal of families of disabled soldiers who are in need of assistance. ocean cottage. Within its screened walls, one sees sewing machines and materials, concrete evidence of its raison d'etre, to provide a place where mothers may make over garments given them into new clothing for their little ones who play on the sand as they sew. Th'e inspection tour ended, visitors and campers were entertained with the story of "Robinhood" cleverly given under the trees, and a nature study play including among its characters, an elephant, a bowing giraffe, and a friendly horse convincingly real as they approached through the generously wooded plot of land that is Arden Shore. Among the guests at camp on the occasion of its picnic day were the following members of the association; M C G hades . Wacker, its presid rs.
