RRS he Sa © gat WINNETKA TALK February 19, 1927 Noth Shore Women in Garden and Flower Show Plans Garden Clubs Will Arrange Exhibits at Chicago Show By JEAN TEN BROECK A January thaw a month late does not make the time seem inopportune for one's thoughts to turn to flower and garden. Bright hued blooms in living arrange- ment as pictures, flowers combined with rare and exquisite napery and china on tables for formal dinner and garden tea are absorbing the interest of many women along the north shore who are devoted to work in garden clubs. Competition will try their ar- tistic metal during the week of March 7 to 12 inclusive in the garden club exhibit of the Chicago Garden and Flower shaw to be held in the Hotel Sherman. The names of most of the local gar- den clubs participating. in the display already have been announced, with those of their representatives, but this week come the names of those who will have charge of the exhibits from each club. The committee working with Mrs. B. L. Davis, who represents the Wilmette Garden club, 'consists of the club's president. Mrs. Walter Gore Mitchell, Mrs. C. D. Ewer, and Mrs. Charles Hurlbut. Mrs. S. D. Flood is representative of the Kenilworth Garden club. Mrs. Mark Cresap and Mrs. C. G. Littell will arrange the formal dinner table in the club's display. Mrs. E. G. Phelps will set the garden tea table for two, and Mrs. E. F. Snydacker and Mrs. Bently G. McCloud will arrange the flower picture. The Winnetka Garden club, of which Mrs. C. Colton Daughaday is president, was represented at the general meet- ing last week, and is expected to par- ticipate in the show, but its definite plans were to be completed the latter part of this week. Mrs. Frederick Fisher of Lake Bluff, formerly of Glencoe, and president of the Glencoe Garden club, "is general chairman of the committees. Mrs. An- drew MacLeish, assisted by a commit- tee, will be in charge of the setting of a dinner table. Mrs. Harry A. Peters and her committee will arrange the bouquet to be on exhibit. Mrs. Arthur Brintnall, with her committee, will direct the setting of a tea table, and Mrs. Carl Miner, with the assis- tance of a committee, will arrange a rock garden. One infers a little of the extent of the entire show when one reads that the garden clubs in and around Chicago will be allowed an entire floor for their exhibits alone. One of the charming scenes of the show will be provided in the old fashioned garden, the display of the South Park system. An announcement concerning this particular feature we quote in part: "For more than half a century the South Park system of Chicago has been famous in the world of floriculture for its wonderful dis- plays of old fashioned flowers. So it is only natural that the South Park system has chosen a grandmother's garden for its exhibit at the Chicago Garden and Flower show. "From the crocus, the snow-drop, harbingers of spring, to asters and marigolds that blaze in defiance of winter, marching bravely along from earliest spring until latest fall, the old fashioned garden provides an endless succession of bouquets for the house. All it asks is a bit of water occasion- ally." Frances Wood Entertained in Winnetka This Week Mr. and Mrs. Hallett Thorne of 95 Indian Hill road were host and hostess to twenty-two guests Tuesday evening at a formal dinner given in honor of Miss Frances Wood, who was married on Thursday to Malcolm Shroyer.

Cyrus Hall McCormick gave the wedding breakfast in his home imme- diately following the ceremony. Mrs. George Robertson of Lowell, Mass.,, who attended the Madeira school in Washington with Miss Wood, was her only attendant. Howard Schroyer served as best man for his brother. Mr. and Mrs. Schroyer are sailing from New York today on a six months' honeymoon abroad. They will spend part of their time in France and part with Mrs. Schroyer's sister, Miss Louise Wood, who is living in Flor- ence. After the first of May the Schroyers will be at home at 17 East Elm street. Former Winnetka Girl to Wed Milwaukee Man Of interest to Winnetka friends of Mrs. W. W.

North Shore Girl Plays in Cast of "T he Ragged Edge" Miss Marigold Langworthy, daughter of the Benjamin F. Langworthys of 832 Bryant avenue, Winnetka, known on the stage as Marion Worth, has been one of the three women playing in "The Ragged Edge," the production of the Chicago Play Producing com- pany now being given at the Princess theatre in Chicago. Miss Langworthy, a graduate of New Trier High school, has a large group of friends and acquaintances along the nofth shore, who have been following her career in the dramatic world with much interest. After studying in New York under a famous teacher of dra- matic art, Miss Langworthy appeared in several leading roles with the Pasa- dena Players, an active organization in California, producing worthwhile and decidedly entertaining plays. As Jo in "Little Women," a lovable and loved part, and as Nan in "The Tragedy of Nan," Miss Langworthy demonstrated her versatility, for surely two charac- ters could not be separated more wide- ly in background and spirit than Jo and Nan. In another type of play, "Expressing Willie" she played the part of Dolly, also under the auspices of the Pasadena Players, directed by Gilmore Brown. Her first Chicago debut was made in William Hodge's play "The Judge's Husband," which was presented at the LaSalle theatre a year ago. The play producing company is plan- ning an interesting and unusual pro- gram for its year's work, including its present play "Lazarus Laughed," by Eugene O'Neill, to appear at the Good- man theatre in March, and a third play not yet announced. The last of the play season will be the most im- portant American or European play available, and will be given in April, it is announced. Marion Gering is the official director of the plays, which are being backed by a representative group of directors, and managed by Sam Wren.
