9 ny WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 CONDITION OF LOCAL COURSES RETARDS Two Golf Clubs Plan for Guests Tuesday, Aug. 14 N Tuesday, Sunset Ridge club will have its first golf guest day and a large field is hoped for. The morning match which is scheduled to start at 9 o'clock will be 18 hole medal play with handicap. In the afternoon at 2 an approaching and putting contest is planned. his week the sloppy, slow condi- tion of the course did not prevent enthusiastic players from entering the 18 hole medal play handicap contest. Mrs. Helen Martin was the victor in class A with the low net score, with Miss" Virginia Ingram having low score on the odd holes. The class B nine hole events were entirely car- ried off by Mrs. S. Edwin Earle, who had low net as well as the lowest score on the odd holes. Tuesday is also guest day at North Shore, when special events have been scheduled for both morning and after- noon. This week the match was decided by the two players holding the low scores on the three best long holes and the three best short ones. Mrs. A. D. Collins was winner of the for- mer, and Mrs. C. N. Jonas of the latter. The first qualifying round of the August trophy was also played. The Fame of a Proposed New Club House Spreads LENCOE had a most interested visitor, Tuesday, August 5, in the person of Mrs. John E. Nor- man, president of the Woman's club of Huntington, W. Va., who made the trip for the sole purpose of finding' out just how the Glencoe club's plan committee went about getting the data for such a wonderful set of plans as she had heard was in the possession of the Woman's Library club of Glencoe. Mr. Norman, who was elected a director of Rotary Interna- tional at the recent conven- tion held in Toronto, was in Chicago last week attending a board meeting and inquired for the wife of Chesley R. Perry of Glencoe, secre- tary of Rotary International. Mr. Perry informed him that since the Glencoe Woman's club had started a movement to build a new club house he had seen her so seldom that he didn't know much about her. Mr. Norman replied that he was in about the same position, as his wife was president of the Huntington Wom- an's club which is about the same thing. He was so impressed by what he heard about the way in which the Glencoe women had gone about the planning of their proposed building that he sent for Mrs. Norman and the trip to Glencoe was the result. Mrs. Perry gave a luncheon in her honor at the Skokie club, the other guests being Mrs. Sherman M. Booth, president of the building committee; Mrs. Herbert C. Ang- ster of Lake Bluff, and Mrs. Jessie B. Matthews. After luncheon the party adjourned to the home of Mrs. Fox on Longwood avenue, where pictures and plans of the new club house were exhibited and explained, and much valuable information was given to the visitor. Mrs. Norman, who has visited clubs all over the country in her quest for ideas, stated that she considered the Library club plans and specifications the most per- fect she had seen anywhere. A special issue of the Bulletin of the Woman's Library club of Glen- coe posting the names of 137 can- didates for membership and the en- dorsers thereof, is being sent to every member of the club. Although the drive ended August 1, Mrs. Sherman Booth, chairman of the finance com- mittee, and the acting chairman of the membership committee, Mrs. Ralph E. Stoetzel, will be glad to receive applications at any time before the club season opens on October 9. If there are enough to justify it, a sup- plementary sheet that can be pasted in the year book will be issued later. The finance committee takes pleas- ure in announcing a few of the captains who were most successful. Mrs. Leo J. Hillman secured 13 members, Mrs. Francis S. Graham 10, Mrs. Harry F. Keator 6, and Mrs. Theron M. Wool- son, Mrs. Geo. H. Engelhart, and Miss Augusta Titus, 5 each. Sixty-seven other members secured from one to four applications each. After a care- ful checking of the lists from which the committee worked it is found that there are still 93 names of women taken by the members to invite into the club which have not yet been re- ported upon. This means that before the opening meeting the club may have increased its membership to nearly 600. NEW PHONE STATISTICS The Tokio telephone bureau has is- sued detailed statistics that are very interesting. When a woman is talk- ing to a woman, it is claimed, 26.4 per cent of the talk is idle and unneces- sary; when a woman calls a man, the waste is 13.8 per cent; when a man calls a woman, it is only 9.7 per cent; when two men talk, 10.6 per cent. WOMEN'S EVENTS Women Golfers Play for Championship at Skokie NLY a sketchy account can be given at this time of the golf at Skokie club, made somewhat indefinite by the condition of the course. The week, when possible, was given over to the club championship matches, two flights of which were played off Monday, and the entire tournament will have been played off this week. Mrs. Edgar Stevens, holder of last season's title, won her first match played early in the week. At the time of going to press, Mrs. H. G. Phillips and Miss Helen Pope were still in the running. Women's events will take place as usual on Monday, although an exact schedule was not available. Indian Hill Plans a Flag Tournament ETWEEN the weather and the drawing attraction of the Western championship being played off at Onwentsia or at Shore acres, as the rain disposed, the Wednesday match at Indian Hill did not take place last week. This week the players were to have their choice of the best nine holes out of 18, and on Wednesday, August 20, a Flag tournament has been determined upon by the golf committee for the day's program. Open Day at Evanston Golf Club Ausust 28 HE Open Day tournament for the Women's Western Golf associa- tion that had been scheduled for Monday at the Evanston Golf club, has been postponed until Thursday, August 28, it has been announced by the chair- man of the women's golt committee of that club, Mrs. Emmet Boyles. Mrs. John V. Rathbone and her daughter, Helen, 523 Abbottsford road, returned Tuesday from Iowa.
