Hr Rl es a i | | | i } i t ' WINNETKA TALK October 1, 1927 Season Here for Harvest Parties Close Summer at Our Country Clubs By JEAN TEN BROECK Harvest Home dinner dances remain -in north shore vogue as media of bid- ding farewell to the summer season at our shore golf and country clubs. Some of the clubs are celebrating the harvest season earlier than others, but late October will find that they all have had their evening of Hallowe'en cele- bration. These dinner dances range in variance from the strictly formal to the most informal of hard times par- ties and society may suit its mood. Fall activities at Club Vista del Lago will be ushered in with a costume din- ner dance this evening. Hallowe'en furnishes the motif for the affair and the pretentious rooms and walks of the club will be specially decorated. According to the announcement mailed to members "down on the farm" costumes will be worn. Many special entertainment features are on the eve- ning's program, including marshmallow and corn roasts on the beach and a jack o'lantern contest in which the members will vie with each other for prizes for cutting the weirdest faces from pumpkins. H. W. Albert, the club's new resident manager, who from 1921 to 1926 was manager of the Chicago Yacht club during the regime of Commodore Shel- don Clark, and well known to many north shore people, claims the weather is going to be just right for Saturday night. "Wear warm clothes under the overalls and mother hubbards," he says, "and you will enjoy every mo- ment of the north shore's foremost event of this season." Sunset Ridge has chosen this eve- ning for its Harvest Home dinner. A special menu has been planned and a seven piece Cope-Horvey orchestra will play for the dancing which will be held out-of-doors if the weather per- mits. Indian Hill, too, is celebrating this evening with a Harvest Home dinner dance.
