# * WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1920 5 CE TT | AAA ddd 5) Be SL 20a ih vil Jocial Happenings : nat Winnetka.s Hubbard Woods. \ = by Ruth Risley ", 1738 m You, ry 70g) I TT) IIe % NER, Tad a. *a4anag, of ening, | N next Tuesday evening, December 7, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Milton W. Arrowood, in Wilmette, at eight o'clock, Mrs. Edward MacDowell will give a most fascinat- Wl) ing and interesting illustrated lecture-recital. The one hundred and fifty guest tickets are almost gone and the interest shown in Mrs. MacDowell's playing, and the ethical and uplift movement she stands for, is most gratifying. It was thought that north shore residents would not wish to be the last to realize just what this Peterborough creative art colony means to our American civilization. It is hoped that this recital will put into tangible form a MacDowell society, for our children may need just such a place to express the soul within them. Mrs. MacDowell feels that after five years it will be self-supporting. MacDowell brought his art, recognized by Europe, home, ex- pressing his true Americanism, and now Europe is coming to us. An English poet recently at Peterborough has written a most enthus- iastic account of his stay there. A Chicago sculptress and a painter who spent some time there this season are likewise enthusiastic and they have created works we will soon have an opportunity of seeing. Mr. and Mrs. Arrowood will be assisted by Mrs. Catharine Waugh McCulloch of Evanston, and others in making the guests feel at home and giving them an opportunity to meet Mrs. Mac- Dowell and in her hand grasp to take to their home some of her wonderful spirit of helpfulness and uplift. Mr. and Mrs. Heyliger de Windt, of Sheridan road, will give a masquerade ball, December 22, at the Indian Hill club for their younger daughter, Miss Alice de Windt, who will return from the Ethel Walker school at Simsbury, Conn., on December 17. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bulley of Sheridan road, Kenilworth, announce the engagement of their daughter, Olive, to Ward Sterrett of Chicago, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sterrett of Wilmington, N. C. No date has been set for the wedding. 4 --_-- -- There are no two opinions about the card party and tea given in the parish house of Christ church, on Tuesday afternoon. It was the apotheosis of bridge parties, and as wonderful a success financially as it was socially, There were one hun- dred and twenty-five guests present. The proceeds will go to the re- decorating of the guild room, which now looks very charming with its fresh light yellow walls, dainty new English chintz curtains and several lovely new ferns, the gifts of friends of the guild.
