The grayness of last Friday and the uncertainty whether or not rain or sunshine was to be the final decision of that fictitious person of changeable disposition, the weather man, did not deter more than fifty guests, members of the Arden Shore association and their friends, from ac- cepting the camp's invitation to be its guests on July 27. These visitors learned much about Arden Shore. They heard of its progress, of its policy, and of its needs through the brief and in- formative talks of Miss Bridge, the camp superintendent, and a group of her workers. Arden Shore has achieved its success because of the intense personal inter- ast its friends have given to its work-" ers and its campers, Miss Bridge em- phasized. The humaness of that in- terest manifests itself throughout the camp. Arden Shore, these talks stressed, does not rest content with offering its mothers and children comfortable, airy abodes, with wholesome, nourish- ing food and lots of fresh air and en- tertainment, but is following a con- structive policy. It now includes in- struction in handicraft and nature study, and this season expects to launch a beach program with swim- ming taught by a regular life guard. To further its progress and expand its policy, Arden Shore needs the con- tinued interest and aid of its friends, so many of whom live on the north shore. Guests of the camp partook of their box luncheons at tables in the dining room of the Administration building and sipped the coffee and tea the camp served, from spoons purchased by the Wilmette committee with the soap wrappers and soap flake panels it col- lects continuously. With interest the guests listened to reports of the work- ers and then visited the camp build- ings. They saw the display of speci- mens of plant and insect life mounted as examples to aid in the instruction of nature work. The guests strolled through the paths leading to the snug brown cottages screened and open to catch every breeze, wherein the campers are housed. They inspected many of the cottages, some of which have been given as memorials. The visitors saw "Barberry Cottage," a charming nursery; "The Peppers' Cottages," where several of this group of girls from 13 to 18 years whose work it is to wait on the camp tables, were most hospitable little hostesses on a tour of their two dormitories and cottage living room. Inspection was made of the cottage for the "Mary Janes," the group of girls sent out by the board of education to rest and gain weight; of the abode of the "Cin- ellas," girls from 8 to 12 years of whose handicraft work was on " Ln 2) of the attractive little cottage present the three grandmothers, one Italian, one Irish, one German; the y Fold"; "Gingerbread Cottage," a 'undernourished and convalescent Is; "Tin-Can-Ell," for boys from 3 o 1 per cent underweight; "Boy- name is self-explanatory; House." rly women, at "Beach House," who paint is of the hue of the sand, : recent gift of the Winnetka Arden | Soard.

Her be- trothal to Marshall Cresap Corns, son of Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Corns of Wil- mette was announced last week by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius T. Seng of 1222 Chestnut avenue, Wilmette. Mrs. C. Hollis Entertains With Mrs. Curtis Steen Mrs. Chalmers Hollis, 768 Lincoln avenue, and Mrs. O. Curtis Steen, 818 Foxdale avenue, were joint hostesses on Friday, August 3, at the Illinois Golf club at a luncheon for fifty guests in honor of Mrs. Arthur West of Los Angeles. She is the house guest of Mrs. Ralph Batten, 833 Foxdale ave- nue. The dramatic readings by Miss Cornelia Lovicy Osgood, diseuse, who was the guest artist for the afternoon, consisted in a program of monologues in costume. A luncheon meeting of the Junior Auxiliary of the . Southern Wom- en's club of Chicago will be held at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon at the Illinois Women's Athletic club. Plans will be made for a special party. ocean cottage. Within its screened walls, one sees sewing machines and materials, concrete evidence of its raison d'etre, to provide a place where mothers may make over garments giv- en them into new clothing for their little ones who play on the sand as they sew. The inspection tour ended, visitors and campers were entertained with the story of "Robinhood" cleverly given under the trees, and a nature study play including among its characters, an elephant, a bowing giraffe, and a friendly horse convincingly real as they approached through the gener- ously wooded plot of land that is Arden Shore. Among the guests at camp on the occasion of its picnic day were the fol- lowing members of the association: Mrs. Frederick Wacker, its presi- dent; Mrs. Lloyda Smith Shaw of the Chicago board; Mrs. Richard Gam- brill, Jr. and Mrs. Frank Warner Kingsley of the Evanston committee; Mrs. Leslie F. Gates, Mrs. Frederick Tilt, and Mrs. Willis Hutson of the Wilmette board; Mrs. Grant Ridgway of Kenilworth; Mrs. Robert Biddle and Mrs. Charles Goodrich, of Win- netka; and Mrs. Joseph J. Siddall and Mrs. Cleveland Morse, of the Glencoe board. Club Vista del Lago Scene of Many Parties A number of north shore residents have entertained recently at the Club Vista del Lago. Mrs. P. Hunter of 510 Ash street, Winnetka, has been giving a series of parties lately. On Wednesday, a bridge luncheon was given, which was followed by another on Thursday. Friday, Mrs. Hunter entertained at dinner and dancing. Mrs. R. McHenry of Winnetka was hostess Friday at a bridge luncheon for Marjorie Dodge Warner at which there were seven tables of bridge. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Nichols enter- tained fourteen guests at dinner on July 25, the occasion being Mr. Nichols' birthday. The same evening, H. Dawes and Mr. and Mrs. John Taft also entertained. Saturday afternoon, Mrs. John Dowdle of 500 Lake avenue, Wilmette, entertained eight children for lunch- eon. Mrs. Charles Fuller of 97 In- dian Hill road, Winnetka, and Mrs. Raymond Armstrong of 1001 Linden avenue, Wilmette, were hostesses at small bridge luncheons. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. W. G. Kelly entertained twenty-four at a luncheon and bridge in honor of Mrs. Cormack. Mrs. A. J. Gram of 519 Elder lane, Winnetka, entertained at bridge, also. Mrs. H. B. Butler Calls for Field Glass Donation Mrs. Hermon B. Butler of Winnetka and Mrs. John Farwell recently visited Camp Algonquin which is under the supervision of the United Charities of Chicago and became interested in the work being done there. Although the charity does not hold the interest of the north shore as other camps do, it is one of the oldest camps around Chi- cago. More than four hundred children were in the camp at the time, half of whom were being instructed by a man sent from the Field Museum to inter- est them in bird lore. They have these lessons every Monday. Mrs. Butler has thought that the in- structor would be assisted in his teach- ing if the children had field glasses to use. Accordingly, she issues an appeal to north shore residents for discarded field and bird glasses. She will call for them if the donor will phone Winnetka 102. To Play Bridge Friday night has been designated as the informal bridge evening for the members of Sunset Ridge Country club. The club will have mixed bridge parties every week for the members and their guests, as the members have been invited to bring their own four- somes. The club has been having many events for its members, including a golf luncheon last Tuesday and a bridge luncheon on Wednesday. Gives Dinner Musicale Mrs. Ralph Batten, 833 Foxdale ave- nue, has been entertaining Mrs. Juanita B. West of Eagle Rock, Cal, as her houseguest this past week. Mrs. West formerly lived in Winnetka and is be- ing entertained by several friends dur- ing her short visit here. Mrs. Batten gave a dinner in her honor last Wed- nesday evening at her home at which there were fourteen guests. A musicale followed at which Mrs. West played and sang. Flowers Sent in to Guild Carry Joy to City Poor Residents of this village who are giv- ing of the bounty of their gardens for the poor and under-privileged of Chicago through the Chicago Plant, Flower, and Fruit guild, will be in- terested in the letter sent to them through the local chairman from Miss Edna I. Foley, superintendent of the Visiting Nurses' association of Chicago. Miss Foley states: "lI wish that the flower lovers who sent our sub-stations flowers last week could have seen the pleasure they gave nurses and patients alike. One patient said that she would not take a five dollar bill for the flowers that were taken in to her, and one nurse at Hull House has been so unwise as to promise a poor old shut-in that she may expect flowers every Tuesday throughout the summer. Some yellow roses that went to North avenue were particularly lovely." Every person who has a garden is reminded that the Chicago Plant, Flower, and Fruit guild is the connect- ing link between the gardens and the slums. Those wishing to share flowers may do so by taking them to any early morning train on the North Western line, and if no member of the family is going into Chicago, the flowers may be given to the trainman who will see that they reach the Guild booth at Gate 16 of the Chicago sta- tion of the North Western. At 11 o'clock each day, the flowers are sent out according to the following schedule: Mondays 1. V. N. A. Central Free station, 1748 W. Harrison street. 2. Infant Welfare station, 1744 W. Harri- son street. 3. Chase House Settlement, 211 S. Ash- land avenue. Tuesdays 1. Mary Crane nursery, I. W., 818 Gil- pin place. 2. Hull House (V. N. A. and I. W.), 800 South Halsted street. 3.
