The many boys who have passed through their period of encampment come back at this time to spend the day with the fifty members of the present winter camp. It is a time, too, when friends of Arden Shore are especially invited to go to the camp to see for themselves what is being accomplished. A pro- gram will be given in the afternoon at 3, and later tea will be served to visitors. A group of Winnetkans, Mrs. Hu- bert Howard, Mrs. Marcus Richards, Mrs. Norman W. Harris, Mrs. Warren Agry, Mrs. George Leach, Mrs. Steph- en Birch, and Mrs. Samuel Smart, are contributing cakes for the tea tomor- row. For the past five or six years groups of about fifty boys each season, be- tween the ages of 14 and 17, under- nourished and underweight, have been sent out by the Chicago board of edu- cation for care at Arden Shore, where, under rigid diet and training, they have been nursed back to health. The board has sent out teachers so that they could keep up with their school work while regaining their strength. 'When they are in good physical condi- tion they obtain working certificates, and the Arden Shore association helps them find fitting employment. Society for Shut-Ins to Sell Wares in Glencoe The Vocational Society for Shut-Ins, East Walton place, Chicago, is to conduct an all-day sale in Glencoe May 10, from 10 until 5. Mrs. William H.

Stout, Mrs. Keith Roberts, Mrs. James Sheldon, and Mrs. Henry Peirce Pope. This sale presents to Glencoe people an opportunity to see what many Chi- cago shut-ins accomplish through the aid of this organization. Through the assistance of skilled instructors, many unfortunate ones who otherwise would be dependent, become self supporting. These instructors utilize the talents of the shut-ins in a practical way, mak- ing it possible for them to put on the market many beautiful and saleable articles. In fact this shop has become quite famous for some of its products, among which are attractive and artis- tic hooked rugs, pillows, luncheon sets, and many other moderately priced articles.
