;"'"~Mrh Shore to Participate in Garden and .Flower Show Exhibit Four at Garden, Flower Show Open to All BY JEAN TEN BROECK I I Charleatoning &wine To Wed in Autumn The sight of a Kentucky cardinal caroling forth his message of "Cheer, cheer" from his lofty perch, and melting snow trailing its wet way across sidewalks, diverting the eyes of a pedestrian with a touch of spring fever from too much tree gazing, tempts us to turn again and again to thoughts of gardening and to the printed information that continues to come for Chicago's second annual Garden and Flower show. Today, at least, as we write, anything pertaining to gardens has its intriguing appeal. Hundreds, too, on this north shore, find the garden and flower exhibition a topic of much discussion. In a newspaper office one hears many things, one of which is causing a little misunderstanding as to entries in this second exhibition which will be held in the Hotel Sherman from March 24 to April l. Some have in£erred that the only amateur exhibitors may be garden clubs, but this misapprehension we hasten to rectify. A special section on arrangement, Section IV, is open to all, those outside of clubs, and those belonging to clubs. This exhibit is to be an arrangement of bud, branch or seed pods, or any other natural growth other than flowers. A.ny container may be used. N~thing .artificial may be exhibited. Pr1zes wdl be awarded upon consideration of the following points : color harmony, relation of material to receptacle, distinction, and perfection of arrangement. Further announcement we quote : · ,.Several innovations have been put into the forthcoming garden· and flower show. Garden decoration will be present~d . with . sculpture by Chicago and llhn01s art1sts, and by rustic bits which will include an exhibit from the Chicago schools of birdhouses. Mrs. Theron Colton of Chicago will have the birdhouse exhibit in charge. .. Mrs. James H. Burdett is chairman of a committee of garden club memhers who will open and operate a tea garden during the nine days' showin~. ,.An arf salon is planned which will gather under one roof a collection of the best in flower and garden pictures !'n~ in outdoor decorative effects. This IS m the hands of an art committee with Mrs. Edward Brion of Glencoe and Mrs. Johnston Bowman of Evanston as co-chairmen. "In addition to a comprehensive di~ play of life-size gardens, bits of forest preserve landscaping, cut flowers flowering plants, and miniature models of houses with appropriate grounds there will be exhibits featuring gardening from less familiar angles." . The Wilmette Garden club, the KenIlworth Garden club, the Home and Garden club of Kenilworth, the Winnetka Gardep cluh, and the Glencoe Ga~den. club . are those _in our villages ad~ve 1.n the1r preparation for participation m the large exhibition which i~ put on by the Hotel Sherman Exposition department and the Garden Club of Illinois.

The wedding will be an event of next autumn. March Program at Shawnee Club Shows Gala E"ents During the month of March Shawnee Country club will be the scene of many gay affairs. March 10, a formal party is to take place, while the following Saturday a St. Patrick's day celebration will occupy the evening for members and their friends. Castle bridge is to provide the entertainment, and from comparing .t his event with other popular ones in the past of a similar nature, military euchre and hearts, the evening will be a joyous one. Saturday, March 24, is to be the occasion of a cotillion, for which both the entertainment and house committees are working to make it one of the festive events of the club's season. A turkey dinner will be served and Van's orchestra will play for the dancing. Van himself will lead the cotillion with fitting and proper ceremony. Tea is to be served during the Monday afternoon bridge games, and the monthly luncheon and pivot bridge event takes place March 26. One of the well established events of the club is the Thursday buffet supper, really a family affair, which, each week, has its own following. The club announces that a change is made in the bowling days for women from Mondays, to Tuesdays, at the usual hour. of 9. in the morning. March, too, brings the beginning of an eight week bowling tournament for boys of the club and their friends, for which there is already keen comPetition. when a large cow wal!<ed into , the dining room as they were eating. But when the bovine turned out to be a very well educated, musical one, capahie of doing the Charleston, they didn't mind having their dinner interrupted. Striving to please, the cow Charlestoned so energetically that she fell in a faint. Those who carried her out report that the front feet of the animal were supplied by H. <;:. ~iegel~en, manager of tlie ·club, whale h1s assastant, Harvey Weber, brought up the rear. When the guests finished dinner !'nd entered the. living room t~ey found 1t transformed mto a barn, wath plenty o! hay, old lanterns, and ha~nesses to g1ve the. prop~r atmosphere. A coop full of bve chtckens . filled one c?rner o.f the roo~. and durm~ the evemng a tmy baby p1g stuiJ?bled mto the room. .

The . farm dmner, mcludmg th_e decorations as w~ll as !he. entertamment, was Mr. N1egelsen s 1dea, as are most of the unusual parties for which Skokie is famous. Next Saturday evening the club will have one of its regular dinners, followed by cards. Despairing of having any more toboggan weather this season, the club took down the slide just twenty-four hours before last week's snow. However, there was ver¥ good skating to take the place of tobogganing.

Arrangements for the presentation of "Racketty Packetty House" in Harrison hall of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college on Saturday, March 3 will be completed with the dress rehearsal on Thursday evening. This is the sixth annual presentation of a play for children by student players of the college. These plays, "On Fairies' Wings," "Pinocchio," "The Fire King" and "The ~rownies" have all been successful, but by general vote of the children, "Racketty Packetty House" is the favorite. The 'Cast, which numbers twenty of the most talented students in the college, has "played the play" until it has become second nature, and the actors apparently enjoy the performance to the full. Miss Mary Crush of Wilmette is ridiculously funny as Meg, one of the grotesque dolls of "Racketty Packetty House." Miss Armida Stewart as Peg is equally laughable, while Miss Catherine Wilcox of Evanston is ideally suited to the role of the fairy Queen ·· .The_ play ha~ been staged und.er the dtrect1on of M1ss Etta Mount, d~rector of plays and p~geants at the colle~e, who has been. m charge of the cht_ldren:s plays giVen by the students m prev1ous years. Two performances of the play will be given, the first at 10:30 in the morning and the second at 2:15 in the afternoon. Dainty luncheons will be served between the morning and afternoon performances, and luncheon parties, large and small, are the order of the day. The play is given in Evanston under the auspices of the North Shore 'Chapter of the College Alumnae association of which Mrs. Alfred Bates of Evanston is president, and the proceeds will be applied on the chapter pleJge toward the building fund. Tickets for the play may be secured from alumnae or through the college office, and reservations for the luncheon may be made with Miss Virginia Solbery at the college. .. I /
