Butlers Sail for America on Wedding Journey From Panama comes word of a wedding that brings its interest here as the bridegroom was, until not so long ago, a resident of Glencoe and well known along the north shore. On Friday afternoon. March 8, Miss Jean Long became the bride of George Howland Butler. The bride is the daughter of Dr. John D. Long, formerly chief quarantine officer of the Isthmus of Panama, who during her father's tour of duty, was one of the most charming and sought-after of the younger set. Mr. Butler~ who is the brother of Eugene K. Butler, II of Glencoe, just has finished a period of service as third secretary in the United States legation at La Paz, Bolivia. The ceremony took place in the living room of the Governor's House, which was decorated with gardenias, coffee roses, tuberoses, and white frangipani. Judge ]. W. Blackburn, who performed the ceremony, read the Episcopal marriage service. Mrs. Harry W. Burgess, wife of the governor of the Panama Canal, and the bride's father received the guests, a group of intimate friends of the bride and groom. An informal reception was was held in the dining room at the close of the ceremony. The bride was gowned in white lace combined with georgett and wore a shoulder bouquet of pale lavender orchids. Otto R. Barnett of Glencoe, a cousin of Mr. Butler, attended him as best man . Mr. and Mrs. Butler sailed later in the evening on the S. S. President Wilson for California, and will visit Chicago and New York before Mr. Butler returns to his work in the state department. In our inquiring search for affairs intriguing the interest of society in order that we may jot them down and pass them on in print to our readers, we again are tempted to turn to Shawnee Country club. It is there that one finds more variety of diversion at present than is hoU'sed under any other one roof of any other one organization on our north shore. Men and women, boys and girls, on pleasure bent, or seeking recreation, find it at Shawnee, at its dinner dances, its Sunday musicales, in its swimming pool, at its afternoon and evening bridge parties, in its bowling alleys, in its handball courts, or in its billiard and pool room. Since its opening it has been abuzz with activity. Shawnee dedicated its beautiful new building, which we are informed is intended to be more like a smart, country home than a club institution, at a dinner dance last Saturday evening which was a gala ·affair. Hundreds of · members and their guests attended the dinner hour, to dine to the strains of music, and to dance later to the lure of an orchestra which played in the hall room. Sunday afternoon brought the music hour, with a very pleasing program by Mr. and Mrs. George W. Allen of Winnetk<t . At its close members and their guests were entertained at tea in the gaJlery. The affair was charming. Saturday evening, March 23, a dinner 'bridge will be the event at Shawnee. The qinner at 7 oclock will be followed by pivot bridge at 8 :30. Special prizes will be given at each table. Members may make up their own parties and ta?les, and those wishing to progres·s wtth a group of tables may do so.

All the courses were so named so that the guests did not know what their course Photo by Moffett would be until it arrived. Mrs. Carl H.
