Neff of Howell, Mich. August · 2, at t'he garden fete at the hop1e oi Mrs. Minna Schmidt, 2715 Sheridan road, Evanston. The party was a benefit given by the Korth End branch of the Friends of the Chicago Junior school. The fortune tellers, had they been Jess sympathetic, might have . told almost anyone that she was of nervous temperament and restless, but the fortune tellers too were stung by the swarms of mosquitoes that threatened to ruin the party. Even the handfuls of punk burning about the garden could not chase this horde away. The party was a success, however, for by 9 o'clock almost everyone had patronized the cigaret girls, bought balloons, taken a ride on the little railway operated by Bruce Carns, or purchased tickets for the many other attractions about the place. After dinner time, bridge was played on the lovely screened verandah of the house and the orchestra, perched on top of the boat house, played for the dancers on the beach walk. The committee for' the fete was headed by Mrs. Emma F. Stross who was general committee chairman. Her sub-chairmen included Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of Winnetka, Mrs. J. R. \\'olfenden, Mrs. Russell Gross, Mrs. George Karnes, Mrs. \V. L. Harrison, Mrs. Arthur Schwarz, Mrs. M. W. Xabel, and Mrs. Maud Carleton. The Chicago Junior school was established in 1913 to supply the need of a home and school at a very moderate cost for normal boys who, through the loss of one or both parents, are deprived of home influence and training. They have a farm and home near Elgin for these boys.
