i p---- & WINNETKA TALK October 15, 1927 | Benefits Play Bigger Society Role as Winter Advances Fashion Show Big Society Event at New Stevens Hotel By JEAN TEN BROECK What the Chicago beau monde does is bound to bear weight in all north shore villages these days when wo- men's activities are becoming more far-reaching each season. As we take note of large events to come in Oc- tober whose interest in most general, we turn to the Society Fashion show on October 27, which, a letter informs us, is to be the most fashionable event of the fall. The Woman's board of St. Luke's hospital is sponsoring the revue which is to take place at the Stevens hotel. Gowns, hats, shoes and jewelry from the leading stores and shops in the city are to be worn by young society girls selected for their good looks. "The gowns and dress accessories are the latest in fashion," the committee announces, "the music is the best to be had, and the food excellent." The fashion show is to have for its setting the beautiful new Grand Ball- room of the Stevens, not seen as yet by many. It will have a matinee and evening performance, the features of each to be included in the price of the afternoon or evening ticket or box. The first revue is to be at 3 o'clock and tea is to be served. In the eve- ning at 7:30 o'clock dinner with danc- ing will precede the fashion show. More than one hundred boxes al- ready have been sold. Tickets for the affair may be procured at the door. Mrs. John W. Gary of Glencoe is the chairman, and Mrs. Hathaway Watson of Winnetka is a vice chair- man of the affair.
