She will speak on "Governmental Efforts toward World Peace."

Since the opportunity to hear her is brought directly to the village, the officers of the society expect an unusually large attendance, The morning will be occupied with the usual sewing, Miss Addams' talk coming after luncheon. This is one of the last meetings of the season, the annual election falling 'the first Wed- nesday in May. TO PLAN RUMMAGE SALE The Grove House board has a regu- lar business meeting next Tuesday at the House. The meeting will probably be spent in making plans for the rummage sale which is to be held this spring and of which Mrs. Morris K. Wilson of Winnetka is chairman. Mr. and Mrs. George Holderness Green of 666 Sheridan road will sail for Europe April 14, on the Roma. They will land in Naples and will spend three months abroad, visiting Italy, Switzerland, France, Holland, Ger- many, England, Scotland, and Ireland. To Give Lecture The Wilmette-Winnetka W. C. T. U. will meet at the home of Mrs. Eugene Feuchtinger, 378 Hawthorn lane, Win- netka, Monday, April 2, at 2 o'clock. The speaker of the afternoon, A. Gordon Humphrey of Evanston, an attorney, has chosen a timely subject, "Our Heritage as American Voters." Mr. Humphrey, who is said to have high ideals of citizenship and a keen perception of the present day situation, is considered well fitted to present this message, which promises to be both interesting and instructive. Gives Club Insight Into Work of Naturalization On March 21, the civics department of the Woman's club of Wilmette brought to its morning session a most interesting and instructive speaker, F. J. Schlotfeld, head of the Chicago Bureau of Naturalization. This bureau of the national government was estab- lished in 1906 by the late Theodore Roosevelt, who, at that time, was president of the United States, to correct the many abuses and the con- fusion existing in that department. Besides speaking on the actual legal procedure of naturalization of aliens and their children, of the quota which regulates the admission of immigrants, of the laws which prohibit some classes entirely and the phases of the law which exclude some immigrants from naturalization, Mr. Schlotfeld gave many sidelights, both comic and tragic, on the work of the bureau. Speaking, quite seriously, however, he urged every woman present to get positive proof of her citizenship, as soon as possible. He cited several cases where the attempts to secure passports to a foreign country had brought out proof that the second papers, absolutely necessary to com- plete citizenship, never had been taken out by parents coming here from foreign countries. As it takes about three weeks to establish full proof and go through all the records, a trip to Europe might be seriously delayed if the question of citizenship had to be traced through the bureau. ILLUSTRATES GARDEN TALK "The Secrets of the Rock Garden," and the "Perennial Border" are the subjects Mrs. David Cooke, charter member of the Wilmette Garden club, will discuss at the next meeting of that organization, Friday afternoon, April 6, at the home of Mrs. R. B. Taylor, 423 Central avenue. In illustration she will show pictures taken in her own gar- den.

Brown is chairman. Mme, Marie de Mare Stein will speak on "Women of Modern France," and Mrs. George W. Kreer will sing a group of songs accompanied by Dorothy Riley Brown. Marie de Mare a Parisian by birth, received from such masters as Charles Bigot, Ernest Laviss, and Victor Berard, a thorough and varied education. Through her father, Tiburce de Mare, grandson of the Comte de Neilhan, Mme. de Mare Stein comes from an old French fami- ly, and through her mother, a daughter of the American painter, G. P. A. Healy, she also belongs to the new world. The club is most fortunate in hav- ing the opportunity of hearing a wo- man of Mme. Stein's prestige interpret the trend of the modern women of France. Everyone is interested in hearing what the successors of the great French women of history are achieving in the modern world, and Mme. Marie de Mare Stein is one who can speak with authority.
