The staccato rappings of a woodpecker in search of luncheon and . the pools of melted snow under a noon sun one day early in the week prognosticated the oncoming swan song of winter and the awakening social season now suffering its annual postholiday relapse.

The Woman's ciuh of \Vilmette, which has a special niche for s0cial pleasure in its scheme of things, is 110\\' planning an eYening bridge in it s clubhouse. The time chosen i:-> Saturday eYening, Fehruary 19, and the purpose i~ twofold, to permit the hu sbands of its memhers to share in their diversion, and to add to the fund the club is accruing to enlarge it s present hui1ding, now inadequate for the demand s impo sed upon it. The committee is planning that a pi,·ot game he pla~·ed and that prize~ he proYicled for each table. Tickets for the , affair may he purchased from the following patronesses: U rs. R. 1'.
