J WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 il NORTH SHORE MAY HAVE GOLF CLUB FOR WOMEN Charming Verses ~ Feature Poets Day at Winnetka Club INNETKA Poets day was the feature of the club meeting on Thursday, November 14. An overwhelming number of poems were received by the committee in charge. The time was limited so only a small the interesting percentage of poems were read. It was regretted by the com- mittee that all could not have been heard, as they were all most worthy of a hearing. Mrs. Otis read two charming things; Mrs. Porter some verses written to her children on differemt birthdays; Mrs. Floyd Faxon read for Mrs. Emily Matz 3oyd, Miss Laura Richards, and Murs. John Ritchie. "Mrs. Welter read a "gem". written by her daughter, Mrs. Veeder, one by Mrs. Merritt Starr and by Miss Jessie 'West. : The poems following were equally in- teresting, many in a serious vein. Mrs. Prouty . read a very clever thing called "The Changing World." The regular business of the club pre- ceded the reading of the poems. Mrs. Walling placed = stress upon the Red Cross drive now on, and urged giving time and money to this worthy cause. Special appeals for funds are being made. The surplus is exhausted. The Chicago chapter alone handles one hun- dred cases daily, and they have only enough money to last until Christmas. It is hoped that the capital may be re- plenished. Even if you have not re- ceived a personal appeal, eive anyway. Send what you can spare. The drama study class met at the home of Mrs. E. V. IL. Brown, 529 Ce- dar street, November 19.

It will she interesting to watch results. Mrs. Fred Sterling, the club delegate to. the Tenth District Federation, gave a report of the meeting which was held at the Rogers Park Woman's club on November 13. The members were told in speaking of the Narcotic bill, that our country is the largest consumer of opium in the world, and 90% of it is used for dope and not for medicine. Much of the opposition to the Mater- nity bill which was smothered in the House came from doctors. Mrs. Caldwell, chairman of the Fine Arts wishes every club to appoint a chairman on Bill Boards. = She says, "It is not our hope to have bill boards el- iminated as they are a vital source for advertising, but to have them well placed." The chairman of Music would like all club meetings opened with the .ing- ing of patriotic songs. Mrs. George Thomas Palmer's. ad- dress was very stirring. She made a special appeal for the Endowment Fund which was started in 1921 with $10,000 left from the 25th Anniversary Jubilee, and has now reached $26,000. She asks every club member to give one dollar toward the fund. Judge Hugo Pam of the court delivered the address of ternocon on "Immigration."

Golf Club for Women Is Planned on North Shore ITH the announcement of the get-to-gether dinner of the newly organized Woodland Golf club, November 27, comes the re- port that the women of the north shore are forming a golf club exclusively for women. Mrs. Hathaway Watson, of Winnetka, president of the Women's Western last year, is said to be much interested in the new move and hopes for definite plans this winter. Several goli clubs do not allow women players. The women of the Chicago district of the United States Golf association are desirous of having a first class course from which men players will be ex- cluded. Mrs. J. W. Douglas and Miss Miriam Burns of Evanston, both of golfing fame, are also said to be sup- porting the movement. Although no organization has been announced as yet, it 1s declared that a committee is look- ing into the matter of suitable property for a course. If such an organization is formed it will be the second of its kind in the United States. The first was formed in New York city. This district has produced many leading women golfers and it'is believed that a strictly women's golf club would be a valuable addition to the golf club list.
