WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION Society To Sponsor Triple Card Party Benefit Grove House MAMMOTH bridge party in three sections, one in Win- netka, one in Evanston ana one in Chicago, will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 10, for the benefit of the Grove House for Convalescents. 'Mrs. Hathaway Watson, Mrs Cuthbert Adams, Mrs. Francis Butler, Mrs. Cal- vin Fentress, Mrs. H. A. deWindt, Mrs. R. H. Hobart, Mrs. Lawrence Houtel- ing, Mrs. William B. McIlvaine, Mrs. Frederick H. Scott, Mrs. Merritt Starr, Mrs. John Stuart, Mrs. Arthur Tuttle and Mrs. Morris Wilson compose the committee of the Winnetka division. The drawing rooms in the homes of Mrs. Hathaway Watson, Mrs. James L. Houteling, Mrs Ralph Hobart, Mrs. Hermon B. Butler, and one other to be announced at a later date, will be opened for the affair. Mrs Houteling is a daughter of the ate Mrs. S. B Peabody, who was .cominently identified with the found- ing of Grove House more than thirty years ago. The institution was in- corporated in 1902, and cares for hun- dreds of women and children recom- mended by hospitals and social service organizations, who need a period of rest and care before returning to work. It has had little publicity, de- pending largely upon private sub- scriptions and upon the small amounts the patients themselves are sometimes able to pay. The Evanston party is to be held in the ball room of the North Shore hotel. The committee working hard for its success includes Mesdames D. H. Vernon, Frederick 8. Colburn, George Dryden, Chester Ericson, P. C. Fuller, A. B. Jones, John Towne and John E. Wilder. Tickets for tables for the affair may be secured from any member of (he committee. A number of the local firms and some in Chicago, have gen- erously donated prizes for the benefit. ---- The North Shore Musical Society, formerly known as The Wilmette Musical Society, held the first meeting of the season Tuesday afternoon, Sep- tember 12. Mrs. Frances Copthorne of Hubbard Woods, was the hostess. A most enjoyable program of Indian music was given by Mrs. Marjorie Sherman, Mrs. Ernau Blythe Akely, Mrs. Eugenia McShane, Miss Pauline Pettibone, Miss Dorothy Rae, Mrs. Burkhart and the vocal trio, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Seaver and Miss Rae. The organization holds its regular meeting the first Tuesday of each month. No more beautiful setting for the lecture "Art in Nature," by our great cenius Jens Jensen, could be found than on the Arrowood lawn on last Thursday night. A curtain stretched with the overhanging boughs and the hugh elms behind it, formed an ideal background for those glimpses of na- ture paintings which were made so real by the great understanding of Jens. Jensen. Nature's handiwork was carried be- yond the screen when the Japanese lanterns illumined the flora of the gar- den and the large chestnut tree with its spreading branches adorning the vast lawn. This was the opening of the season of 1922-23 of the North Shore Mac- Dowell Society, whose officers are: Mrs. Milton Arrcwood, president; Jens Jensen, first vice-president; Oliver Hinsdell, secoid vice-president; Mrs. Arthur Dean, corresponding secretary; Pierre Blouke, recor:ting secretary and treasurer. --_C--- The Park Ridge School for Girls is a non-sectarian institution for the care of dependent girls.
