om a 8 runner-up. 36 WINNETKA TALK September 1, 1928 Close of Opera, Labor Day, and Golf Events Draw Society Wane of Season Brings Flare in Social Activity BY JEAN TEN BROECK Picking up the strands of news lost because of several weeks of absence from the north shore is taking us quite a few days. But we have been here long enough to be certain of three activities compelling the interest of hundreds of north shore residents the end of this week and on into next, the splendid finale of the Ravinia Opera season, the Labor day dinner dances at our country clubs, and the striving for titles among women golfers as they play in club championship rounds. Everyone who knows Ravinia and who reads of its closing programs, knows what these last few opera days will mean, beautiful music, the occa- sion of dinner and box parties, the at- tendance of society. Each country club has its own way of celebrating the coming holiday, but the Saturday dinner and dance seems the most popular social diversion. leaving Monday entirely free for golf activity. Many groups, both large and small, will be found among the diners the first day of September. As to golf, we are finding reports of the Woman's Western champion- ship matches still echoing on the north shore. It was the largest women's golf event of the year. Other north shore clubs and their players helped Indian Hill to make the event a gala one. Even in a lodge secluded in the woods of northern Wisconsin, interest in the tournament was outstanding, the open- ing of one-day late papers in the noon mail always bringing the query from golfers, some of whom were from the north shore, "Who leads today?" One Glenview player was there to rejoice in the outcome. Following as an event next in im- portance was the Woman's Western Open day at Skokie on Friday, Au- gust 24, which attracted a most un- usual and interesting field of good olfers. Mrs. Harry Pressler of San abriel, Cal, champion, and Miss Vir- ginia Wilson of Glenview, runner-up, were playing. Many states were repre- sented. One golfer came from Texas, one from Tulsa, Okla., and four motor- ed from Milwaukee. Seven prizes were given all carrying out a color scheme of green or yellow. Mrs. John Arends won first low gross; Mrs. Kennedy, first low net; Mrs. Orr, third low net; Miss Virginia Wilson of Glenview, fifth low net; Mrs. Staples, seventh low net; Miss Virginia Ingram, choice blind holes, and Mrs. Rein, putts on eighteen holes. We are unable as we go to press to gather more definite in- formation about some of these players. ° Late August and September are the months deciding the holders of the woman's golf championships at north shore clubs, and bring several special events at the close of the season. The qualifying round of the club championship for women at Sunset Ridge will be played Tuesday, Sep- tember 4, to be concluded during the week. The remainder of the month will be given over to play for the Dwight P. Green trophy. A mixed foursome is scheduled for September During August the women members of the club played for the Dave Tosh trophy with medal play matches and a putting contest. Mrs. Leon T. Ellis of Kenilworth was the victor, with Mrs. ge W. Traver of Evanston Mrs. Stanley Rogers was winner of the putting events.
