WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 13 Winnetka Women Guests at Glencoe Garden Musicale LD SOIL gave a smile, but not so warm a smile as earlier in the week, and the lake sent an oc- casional cool puff in approval of the charming garden musicale and tea on Wednesday afternoon at Craigie Lea, the home of Mrs. Andrew MacLeish of Glencoe, given to increase the fund for the new home of the Woman's Library Club of Glencoe. Madame Leon Roth- ier, an opera singer of gracious per- sonality, and wife of the basso of the Ravinia Opera company, gave a song re- cital which delighted her hearers. Her voice, a clear soprano, flexible and beau- tifully cultivated, showed its sympathy, and its clarity of tone, in its higher reg- ister especially, in the songs she chose to sing which suited the simple infor- mality of the occasion. Among her se- lections were the "Aria" from "Butter- fly," "If Flowers Could Speak," "Memo- ries" and "Stars." Mrs. Hubert Con- over played her accompaniments. Several Glencoe children gave three group dances and two solo numbers, in- terspersing their program with that of Madame Rothier. The quaint period costumes of the "Gavotte," the delicate lavender and yellow shades of the "Dres- den China Dolls," and the little children in their Grecian costumes of pink satin, with garden flower garlands of pastel shades dancing "In a Greek Garden" blended most artistically with the natural setting of the beautiful, secluded grounds of Craigie Lea. Several Winnetka women were among the guests who strolled through the grounds at the conclusion of the musi- cale to absorb the glimpse of the lake's blue offered by a grass walk, edged by irregular beds of old fashioned peren- nials which included hollyhocks, fox glove, and delphinium, b ordered with for-get-me-nots, pansies, and English daisies. A large lustre bowl of delicate yel- low, filled with lavender and yellow gar- den flowers, was the appointment of the punch table at which Mrs. Edward H. Ravenscroft and Mrs. William T. Cres- mer presided. An attractive group of college girls, the Misses Gwendolyn Washington, Florence "Fox, Jean Mac- Leish, Ruth Miller, Eleanor West, Ger- trude Smith, Virginia Buell, Wilma Cresmer and Ruth Holloway, contributed notes of bright color as they served the guests with punch and cakes. Mrs. Andrew MacLeish, Mrs. William A. Fox, Mrs. Bruce MacLeish, Mrs. Samuel Pirie Carson, Mrs. John Comp- ton, Mrs. Frank C. Mercer, Mrs. John E.

McCalmon Mends Rapidly, Following an Operation William McCalmon, the Prouty Annex barber, is reported as doing nicely at St. Francis hospital in Evanston, where he underwent an operation about two weeks ago.

His complete recovery, the doctors say, now is merely a matter of days.
