36 WINNETKA TALK August 25, 1928 Lake Shore Clubs Carry Activities Yacht Clubs, Beach Clubs Come to End of Season's Parties' The season of yacht club activities and beach club play days is about over. There will be many nice days in September and October, but the weather will not be dependable. Cold days discourage the parties by the lakeside, for there is no colder place than the lake shore on a cold day. The Sheridan Shore Yacht club staged an exciting race last Saturday between the wives and friends of ts members. Boats were borrowed for the afternoon and the women were the sailors. Mrs. Earl de Moe won the race sail- ing her husband's boat, "Dream Star." Mrs. J. Corcoran sailed Commodore Harold Elliott's boat, "Carol," taking second place. The third place was won by Mrs. Wesley Bowman sailing the "Stork," belonging to her brother, Dr. Charles E. Galloway. Prizes were given to first and second place and a consolation prize to the last boat fin- ishing. During the afternoon, the guests who were not sailing boats played bridge. The next bridge party will be Saturday afternoon, September 1. Two dances are being planned for the end of the month, one for this Saturday night and one for the Saturday of Sep- tember 1. The Buccaneers' club, which finds its home in the famous "Port of Miss- ing Men," has done very little this year in the way of organized club so- ial activities. A large dance was given early this month, but no others have been planned for the rest of the season. Instead, the activities that have been carried on are the many individual parties given by the club members. The speed boats and sail boats have been sailed in many informal races and the club has been the point of depar- ture for many short cruises about the lake. The club has also been a favorite place to hold swimming parties during the hot summer. Last Monday night Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Atkin of Indian Hill road, Winnetka, gave a party for Mrs. Ed- ward Isom, a former resident of Win- netka who is now the houseguest of Mrs. Robert Laird of Ridge avenue, Winnetka. The Club Vista del Lago is having its usual number of members enter- taining there. One party of interest was given by Mr. and Mrs. Wirt Far- ley of 870 Bryant avenue, Winnetka. Forty guests were entertained at din- ner on Tuesday night, August 14, for Mrs. Mrs. Farley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Sydney Putney of Wan- kesha, Wis. The celebration was oc- casioned by the Putney's fiftieth wed- ding anniversary. Two sons, Roy Putney of Waukesha and Aaron Syd- ney Putney, Jr. of Chicago were among the guests Mrs. Edgar F.

Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of 352 Linden avenue entertained more than two hundred of the "old guard" of the Illinois Women's Athletic club at a large garden party from 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon until midnight last Saturday at her home.
