It BY JEAN TEN BROECK A quiescent spell hovers over social life on the north shore at present and what activity .there seems to be emanates from the usual summer . sources, golf clubs, Ravinia opera, and beach and yacht clubs. This week we turn to the first of these to glean what we can of golf plans for women members, as this is one phase of country club life that weekly attracts feminine players who come for their game of golf, following, for · a day, a white ball, small in size but with such a big influence on one's disposition, or1 concluding a morning's exercise with luncheon and an informal game of bridge in the afternoon. The long quoted phrase about mice, men and their plans, has held trite this summer, and we find, as we inquire along the shore for golf news,, that the disarranging factors have been first the rain, and then the heat. July seems to be somewhat of a recess month coming between the first opening events of the season and the larger matches arranged for August. Next 'Tuesday will be guest day at the North Shore ·Golf club where the last of the June tournament is being c9mpleted and the July match is underway. Flag day was the event Tuesday of this week. Every fortnight an approaching and putting cont-e-st is held which is continued throughout the season. The August calendar is to include several importa'rit events. Westmoreland club makes a special place in its summer golf arr_ angements for juniors. Each Thursd'ay is given over to these girls who have their morning lesson followed by nine hole matches. The round robin tournament for women is now in sway and Friday of last wee·k brought regular Guest day. The J u.ne tournament was completed at Westmoreland with Mrs. William Drexmit of Chicago winner of the first flight, arid Mrs. Walter Vanlandingham of Wilmette, winner of the second. Tuesday, July 24, has been set aside on the Wil~et\e Golf club schedule of events for a costume party, which will be, as are t)1e other weekly events for women, an all-day affair. Mrs. Tom Hughes was the winner of th~ June . trophy, with Mrs. Frank Douglas runner-up. At Indian Hill a member and guest tournam~nt will be held' next Wednesday and the last week in July the match will be decided on the best score on 18 holes and one-half handicap. A flag tournament was the event Wednesday, and on July 12, _the mixed foursome match wa~ followed by supper at the club. July at Sunset Ridge is marked by the monthly tournament. There will be match play every Tuesday. A mixed foursome match on Sunday, July 22, will be a special event and on July 24, the women members will have their Guest day. Friday, July 13, is Black Cat day at Skokie, and July 27 will be the annual Skokie Guest day with luncheon at noon. Two mixed foursome events are on the July calendar with supper following in both instances. The first of these affairs was last Thursday and the other is to come later in the month. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Arms, formerly of Wilmette, and now of E~anston. Her marriage to Norman Clark, son of Mr." and Mrs. Walter T. Clark of Evanston, is to take place Saturday evening, August 11. Both the 8:30 o'clock ceremony and the reception following will take place at the Evanston Country club. The members of the wedding party have been cho3en. A cousin of Miss Arms, Mrs. Charles Hood of Detroit, will be matron of honor. Mrs. Alvin Bowe of M inneapoli$. (Marion Mannerud), and Miss Elizabeth Pond, Miss Kathryn Merrill and Miss Virginia Davis, of Evanston, will be bridesmaids. W.a rren Clark of Milwaukee, brother of the bridegroom-elect, will act as 'best man, and Armin Kuehmsted of Hinsdale, Charles Hood of Wilmette, John Keelin of Chicago, and James Snydacker of Kenilworth will serve as ushers. Already one affair has been given in honor of Miss Arms. Friday of last week Mrs. Ransom Sherman of Winnetka was hostess at a luncheon and miscellaneous shower. is a day to which, the p!!!Jlic is in~ited, for it offers an opportunity to fnends of the camp to see for themselves, as well as to hear of, the work done during the summer encampment period. Visitors are asked to take their own box lunches and coffee is served at the camp. During the luncheon hour in a large screened cottage, those in charge tell of the work- done and in the afternoon the guests see an entertainment given by members of the camp demonstrating the activity among child1'en. One of the aims of the Arden Shore association is to develop native talent among_ the campers and recently a delightful dane~ was given by a young Italian woman who went through the intricate· steps with a pitcher of water on her head. Another interesting bit of Arden Shore life this season is in the Siddall cottage for elderly womenJ where are ensconced three grandmothers, one German, one Italian 1 and one Irish, whose love for the country of their birth ·brings about a strong international feeling which is overpowered by their loyalty to Arnerica, their country by, adoption. by Wilmette Garden Club) very informal and pleasant was the luncheon Friday, July 6, given by the Wilmette Garden club in celebration of its sixth anniversary, at the home of Mrs. B. L. Davis, "Fairways," in West Deerfield. I~ was at the home of Mrs. Davis six years ago that the club held its first meeting with six members present. The presidents of the neighboring garden clubs and the former presidents of the Wilmette Garden club were the guests of honor. After the luncheon Jack Cooke, son of Mrs. David Cooke, the first president of the Wilmette Garden club, took pictures of the party on the I (Contributed terr~ce. (Contributed) The Ex-Service committee of the Wilmette Woman's club had a glorious day Monday when it took t w e n t y disabled men from Great Lakes hospital for an automobile ride. The men were driven around the Mundelein seminary and then out to Gray's lake. The picnic grounds, with tables and benches on the shore of the lake, furnished an ideal place to serve the fruit ade, homemade doughnuts, cookies and cigarets. After the great ·heat of the preceding week, the outing was doubly enjoyed. "I've been irr the hospital for a week," one man said, "and it has seemed like a year'; this ride· is certainly a welcome b_ reak." Anyone who has be eo shut up in a hospital for a long period can appreciate what these rides mean to these poor shut-ins, crippled bodily but not mentally. This committee plans to give two outings a month during the summer. If anyone would like to help in this work by driving her car, she is requested to telephone Mrs. W. H. Hutson at \Vilmette 1447. Six cars are needed for each trip with two women in each car. No man goes for the outing without a doctor's permit and each one is mentally right. Ex-Service Committee .
