36 WINNETKA TALK February 4, 1928 Kentucky Society Active Group in North Shore Affairs Kentucky Society Has Membership of North Shore Women ! By JEAN TEN BROECK Community spirit, of which much is heard on the north shore these days, and not idle curiosity prompts the in- terest residents of each village feel in what those in their neighboring towns are doing. It seems almost impossible now to mention any large organiza- tion in which society women are in- terested that does not include residents of one or two other villages at least. And smaller societies, even, indicate this inter-village relationship in the mempbership lists which include persons drawn together by a common tie. One of these latter is the Kentucky Society of Evanston and the North Shore, still young in the local club world, with some of its members inhabitants of our villages. In its case, its title explains the strong tie that binds. Its history in brief is this. In the early 1900's a Kentuckian, it is said, came to Chicago to raise funds for a school in Lexington, Ky., and through the interest of southern wo- men the present society has resulted although a number of years passed before the Kentucky Society of Ev- anston and the North Shore was organized February 7, 1921. The first officers were elected the following April. During the interim the numer- ous benefits given for the benefit of mountain people of their native state drew the Kentuckians and their friends together until the society was an out- come. From the time of its inception it has grown in activity and membership. In April 1924 the society joined the Fed- eration of Women's Clubs of Kentuc- ky. Now it meets regularly the second Tuesday of each month. Professional entertainers, ministers, laymen, poets, writers, and composers have made their appearance before this group. This season the club programs have included the study of interesting places and persons of Kentucky. In addition to its meetings money is raised in various ways for its outstanding inter- est, the Hindman Settlement school of Kentucky. Tuesday, February 14, is to be the occasion of the next meeting of the society, a luncheon at the Illinois Women's Athletic club, which will be held in conjunction with the South Side Kentucky society. Among the members of the Ken- tucky Society of Evanston and the North Shore, most of whom live in Evanston, are several from these vil- lages: Mrs. Paul Chace, Mrs. A. I. Gray, Mrs. Irvin M. Keller, and Mrs. George M. Murray, of Glencoe; Mrs. C. E. B. Adams, Mrs. Dwight P. Green, Mrs. Virginia Noe, Mrs. J. N.

North Shore Residents at Hoosier Art Salon One of the things many north shore residents are doing is joining the throng of spectators wandering through the art galleries of Marshall Tield's, viewing the fourth annual ex- hibition of Hoosier art arranged in colorful splendor. Until February 16, the exhibit will hang, and for every afternoon until the time of its closing, some special feature has been ar- ranged. The salon, sponsored by the Hoosier Salon Patrons' association, is held for the purpose of exhibiting the work of Indiana artists and furthering the in- terest of art in that state. Among the clubs and societies hav- ing special days are the Daughters of Indiana, the Hamilton Park Woman's club, the Indiana University Alumnae association, the DuPage County clubs, the Lake county clubs, and the Uni- versity Guild of Evanston.

Hoyt King, also of Wilmette, is one of the patrons of the salon.
