Pretty Things Made by Shut-Ins to Be on Sale on March 8 By JEAN TEN BROECK Recent Bride Heads Two Groups The natne, The Vocational Soc;ety of Shut-Ins, is almost self explanatory along the north shore. Our residents now know just what to expect when announcement comes concerning a sale of articles JHade bY the little band of unfortunates in its. care so anxious to establish a niche of their own in the world of wage earners. The society that is the medium of the Shut-Ins' contact 'with the outside world is arranging another sale of their handiwor~ in Winnetka, Wednesday, March 9, at the home of Mrs. William Cowper Boyden, 725 Pine street, from 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. The information we have at our desk we will quote, as it will intrigue the interest of many shoppers who at this particular time of the year feel an urge to freshen their homes and their wardrobes. "A most successful sale was held just a year ago in Winnetka, at the home of Mrs. Ayres Boat, and it is hoped the one this season will be even more successful. "Each year we add . to the loveliness of our stock and to its varietv. with prices much lower than the san1e articles can be purchased anyvvhere. "This. sale will offer unusuallv attrac tive hooked rugs in wool and silk at very low cost; footsto::>ls and floor pil lows in quaint, old fashioned designs; luscious hand quilted satin and taffeta pillows in all sizes and patterns; cheerful appliqued gingham and patchwork tuck -in pillmYS to go with early American furniture: hand quilted chintz purses for the summer costume: all manner of fascinating embroidered lingeri e sets in the most fascinating color combinations; cunning little fat pincushions, some with lace and French flowers, others with a wee crossstitch wreath of flowers; many.vnew and un usual linen luncheon and breakfast sets; 1au n dry bags, handkerchiefs, hangers, dress bags and manv manY more novelties. -' · "Everything is made by the fingers of some Shut-In working happily within four walls in wheel chair or bed, life made brighter and a bit more bearable because of the contact with lovelv materials, and the chance for pleasa,{t occupation instead of sitting with folded hands in some institution or working on button holes in the endless monotony of factory work. "Surely you ca~ find the 1ovelv things you wish for wedding- gifts for your own home, and help the Vocational Society for Shut- Ins increase its scope for greater good. "All Chicago charities are struggling with the problem of finding employment for the handicapp ed persons ~hom no one seems to wish to employ. The need is terrific and we are filling the need of the Shut-In handicapped." Mrs. James Wa1ler Marshall, president of the society, and Mrs. Laird Bell, a member of the boa_rd of directors, a.re wor~ing with the standing committee at the Chicago office in arranging for the Winnetka sale.
