Various of the clubs take the responsibility of entertainment and refreshments on each week-end, and a request is made for volunteers to go upon the regular Winnetka Sat- urday night. Send names to Mrs. Eisendrath. Rockford Recreational Room.-- Club members are asked to give twenty-five cents apiece toward the fund being raised to maintain this recreational room for our boys at Rockford. Smileage Books.--Mrs. Odea told of these books which contain coupons for admission to good shows with good actors to be given in the can- tonment theaters at the various camps. The books are good in any cantonment theater for the period of War Saving Stamps and certifcates. The certificate pays 4 percent inter- est and it teaches saving habits. Winnetka school children have pur- chased Thrift Stamps to the amount of $1,900. The meeting was then turned over to Mrs. Rhodes, chairman of the Art and Literature Committee, who put the program in the hands of Mrs. Veeder, who gave us a most unusual afternoon with the works of Western Women Poets. Miss Kathryn Greene sang a lovely group of songs accom- panied by Mrs. Dean. Mrs| Veeder read a paper on "Poetry" which was most interesting and Mrs. Frank re- cited a number of her own poems. Mrs. Frank Crawford, Mrs. Carl Mil- ler, Mrs. Frank Plowman and Mrs. Horace Newhall were hostesses of the afternoon. Spenings \ Shore Risley . " NEW Winnetka war emergency enterprise begun during the past month is the opening of the Dr. Brown Gift Shop at Community House. All the proceeds of the sales are to be added to Winnetka's fund for promoting Dr. Brown's relief work in France. "Bring a Gift and Buy a Gift" is the slogan of the Gift Shop. | Most attractive are the articles, both useful and ornamental, offered for sale, and even when Winnetka indulged in her third blizzard the shop was open and the purchasers were on hand.
