Woman's Club News The Winnetka Woman's club open- ed its season Tuesday, October 4, with a luncheon followed by a lecture on "The Art of Quilt Making," by Miss Elizabeth Wells Robertson who is in charge of the study of art in the Chi- cago public schools. Mrs. Arthur T, Cushman presided, and the program was in charge of the art and literature committee, of which Mrs. E. V. L. Brown is chairman. Preceding Miss Robertson's lecture, a group of old songs was given by Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey and Mrs. George Kreer, with Mrs. Lawrence Doty at' the piano. The participants wore old fashioned costumes, by way of creating the atmosphere of the "quilting bee." "The topic of Miss Robertson's lec- ture was "The History of Quilt Mak- ing--an American Art," and it was illustrated by her own work, which consists of lovely, imaginative designs, executive with all the care and preci- sion of the time when quilt making was woman's greatest enthusiam. Miss Robertson traced the evolution of the art of applique from the Egyp- tians to:thé Greeks and Romans, and down through: the Middle Ages, when the banners of the Crusaders were wonderful examples of needle work. She emphasized the fact that the American colonists brought with them traditions of lovely needle craft. They 'suffered from the extreme cold of "American winters and from a scarcity 'of materials, so that it 'was the natural thing to utilize all the scraps of cloth obtainable and piece them toether to make warm bedding. Later, when materials became more plentiful, lovely patterns were invented and housewives took up the new art with most amaz- ing industry. The designing and care- ful execution of her quilts were the "means of self expression of the pioneer woman. Her quilting parties were 'social events and did much to break the monotony in the lives of the wo- men who are helping their husbands conquer a wilderness. ------ George Mulfinger Guest Artist at Music Society George L.
