WINNETKA TALK December 31, 1927 sees -- News of the North Shore Clubs || \ il a Kathryn Adams Will Speak in Winnetka Winnetka Woman's Club to Hear Talk by Head of Constantinople Woman's College Miss Kathryn Adams, president of the Constantinople Woman's college, will be the speaker at the meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club to be held Tuesday, January 3. This is rare good fortune for the club as Miss Adams is widely known as a delight- ful speaker. Moreover, she comes from a scene of vital interest. She brings the very latest inside informa- tion as to conditions in the Near East. It will take more than the usual after- holiday lethargy to keep one from such a talk. Kathryn Newell Adams was born in Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, of mis- sionary parents and belongs to a fami- ly of famous educators, President Adams is a graduate of Oberlin college and holds a Master's degree from Columbia university. She has also studied at Radcliffe and Ox- ford, England. After serving as dean of women in several representative American col- leges, Miss Adams was appointed to the faculty of Constantinople Woman's college in 1920, and in 1924, Miss Adams succeeded to the presidency of the college. Constantinople Woman's college, founded in 1890, is the highest institu- tion of learning for women in the Near East and ranks very favorably with the higher institutions for women in this country. Probably this college has contributed, more than any other in- fluence, toward the emancipation of the women of the Near East. The college is not only breaking down age old barriers that affect the Near East, but its influence is making a lasting con- tribution to social and economic jus- tice throughout the world, it is stated. In her four years' experience as in- structor and the past three as president of the college, President Adams has proven in character and training her high qualifications for this responsible position. She comes to us from a part of the world where great social, politi- cal and religious changes are rapidly taking place--the profound significance of which we can hardly realize. Pres- ident Adams comes into direct contact with these problems particularly as they effect the lives of college students. Her message is a confidential interpre- tation of the present inside situation in Turkey and the Near East, born out of intimate personal contact, it is announced. . Mrs. Edwin E. Brown is chairman of the civics and philanthropy committee of the club, which has charge of Tues- day's program, D. A. R. OFFICER HERE . Mrs. Samuel Williams Earle, corre- sponding secretary-general of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, arrived Friday of last week from her home at the Mayflower, Washing- ton, D. C, to spend Christmas with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. S. Edwin Earle of 467 Linden avenue, Winnetka. TO ADDRESS GARDEN CLUB The Wilmette Garden club opens the new vear with a meeting Friday Janu- ary 6, at the home of Mrs. E. H. Burge, 924 Forest avenue, Wilmette. The speaker of the afternoon, Leon- ard Vaughn, of the Vaughn Seed com- pany, has chosen as the topic of his talk, "Seeds." Family Group in O. E. §. Ceremony | | Photo by Ray The public installation to be held Monday evening by Wilmette chapter, Number 753, Order of the Eastern Star, will be quite unique in one respect in that three generations of one family are to participate in the ceremonies. Mrs. Lilla B. Watkins, herself a musician, is to be installed as the worthy matron of the chapter. Her daughter, Mrs. Myrtle M. Hopkins, is to be inducted as the organist for the coming year, and her granddaughter, Eldora Eloine Hopkins, youthful organist of great talent, is to be the installing or- ganist. The latter appeared twice in a recital in the Auditorium in her fourth year, and has made many public appearances since then. These three artists, not only have appeared in concert together, but to their group has been added from time to time another artist who has made the quartet an ensemble of four generations, Mrs. Watkins' mother, Mrs. A. N. Lee of Seattle, now 90 years of age, who was a church organist for sixty- five years. North Shore Residents Send Xmas Gifts to Vets As a result of the intefest and co- operation of many residents along the north shore, Mrs. Joseph Joyce, chair- man of co-operation with war veterans for the Tenth district, announces that the disabled veterans at Great Lakes and North Chicago hospitals had the best Christmas they ever have had there. The weekly appeal made by Mrs. Joyce was received with such generous response that these men received cloth- ing, overcoats, shoes, books, cigarets, magazines, and other articles for their comfort and cheer. Boxes were packed and presented to the men, each of which contained a tie, sox, a handkerchief, a belt, garters, a sweater, a shirt, slippers, cigarets, candy, and a toothbrush. These gifts were much appreciated. Mrs. Joyce wishes to thank, not only those who did their share for the men, but those who, through their splendid assistance, made it possible for the dis- trict clubs to send Christmas baskets to 173 families of disabled veterans who greatly need help. These families, who live in and around Chicago, were eased of their burdens by the money and time given so generously by those more fortunate, and the men of their families in the hospitals were made happier at Christmas time by the knowledge that those at home were cared for. Many of these families, where it is possible, are to receive aid throughout the year, Mrs. Joyce announces, as she expresses to the men and women of the north shore not only her own thanks but the gratitude of the fami- lies of the men for the aid given them. Woman's Society Takes Up Work for New Year Now that the holiday season is over, the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church once more will take up the duties which were laid down for this busy season of the year. Next Wednesday, January 4, at 9:15, the board will meet in the Triangle room, and at 10 o'clock sewing will begin in the Neighborhood room. Promptly at 11, Miss Louise Farwell of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college will speak to the work- ers on "Children's Attitudes: How to Create the Right Ones for Happy Homes." This promises to be a most helpful and interesting talk for all women of the society and community. Luncheon will be served promptly at 12 o'clock, instead of 12:15. The mem- bers are asked to notice this change in the hour. A question box will be placed at the door on entering for luncheon, and at 12:30 Miss Farwell will discuss these questions. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance, as this is a subject which appeals to all. Miss Farwell is a daughter of Arthur Burrage Farwell of Glencoe and a sister of Stanley Farwell of Winnetka.
