ALICE BARLOW-BROWN TELLS OF WORK IN FRANCE (Continued from page LT Yor kat six o'clock on the morning of the 29th, and reached Bordeaux at midnight, September 8. We had to stand by at the mouth of the Garonne six hours for the tide. There was great excitement Saturday morn- ing, the evening before, our convoy came for us and we felt more secure; but Thursday and Friday nights we were told to sleep with our clothes on and our life-belts near--no lights were allowed on deck. Saturday morning was a bright, sunny day; little did we realize our danger, and wondered why there was so much commotion; we had two destroyers in front and two in the rear of us; an aeroplane flying closely above us, and to the north a fleet of five ves- sels ready to attack. We learned a little later that a submarine had tried to get us twice, that no vessel this summer had been so closely con- voyed. When we were safely in the river we all relaxed, and acknowl- edged the tension had been great, even though we tried not to seem so anxious, we were very happy to walk on terra firma. The ride to Paris (second class) was pleasant. I had a fellow-traveler, a young French soldier, only twenty, who had been in the trenches two years. He had the croix de guerre for service; was in the gas seven hours. He was certainly interesting. we hav ehad two meatless and one sweetless days since coming to Paris --not allowed hot water except Sat- urdays and Sundays. Today the temperature has been from 64 to 68 degrees, so you see we are not suf- fering. We are staying here with the two women who were in Winnetka on behalf of the Orphelinat des Armees--you remember them--Miss Schofield and Miss Fels. I shall write yo soon again from Toul. In the meantime, address me in care of the A. F. of F. W., Alcazar, Rue Gabriel, Paris. My love to all, Your friend, Alice Barlow-Brown. P. S--We are putting in our time working at the Alcazar. GOLFERS SIGN FOR BIG TEAM MATCH NEXT WEEK The officials of the Indian Hill Country club have given the use of their course and clubhouse to the members of the middle west section of the Professional Golfers' associa- tion for next Monday, when they will stage a team match. This will be the first contest of its kind played in" the Chicago district in many years, and as the losers have | to pay for the dinner there will be a lot of excitement. At-present there are seventeen men signed on each side. George 0. Simp- son of Oak Park is captain of one team, and Joseph Roseman of West- moreland will lead the other. Dr. Hogen to Preach. Dr. Allen Hogen, of the University of Chicago, will preach at the Win- netka Congregational church Sun- day morning, October 21. His sub- ject will be "The "Revival of Ideal- ism." Dr. Hogen is one of fhe lead- ing authorities in this country on life of children. Weart Promoted. Charles Weart, 278 Linden avenue, has been given chevrons as supply sergeant of the supply company, 333d field. artillery. Sergt. Weart was formerly with the Ist Illinois field artillery and was one of the students at the first training camp at Fort Sheridan. I] Defeat Lake View. New Trier's soccer team won its second game of the season Wednes- day, defeating Lake View High school, 3 to 1. Kelly and Bulley star- red in the offensive and defensive work for the winners. Monday Lecture. Mrs. Katherine Girling will lecture Monday afternoon and evening. on "The Significance of the Swedish SOCIETY Chicago club women will be the hostesses to the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, November 12 te 15, and plans now are well arranged for the meeting, which promises to be one of the largest ever held in point of numbers and one of the most important by reason of the' numerous and varied questions that are to be presented for consideration and ac- tion. The meetings are to be held in Sinai temple, at 46th street and Grand boulevard, a beautiful large auditor- ium seating 2,000, while the Sinai Cen- ter adjoining, will furnish ample room for conferences, exhibits, etc. A program oI exceptional interest has been arranged; on it will be many prominent speakers and musicians of high standing. One feature of every session will be a 15 minutes' practice in the singing of America's patriotic songs; this will be conducted by Mrs, E. L. Kellogg, state chairman of mu- sic, assisted by a good quartet, and it is hoped that every club woman will become so familiar 'with these songs that she can lead in the sing- ing of them anywhere. There will be some very delightful social features, because in these times that are so full of strenuous work and deep anxiety it seems almost neces- sary that there be some relaxation and cheer; so there will be held a beautiful reception that will be both educational and pleasing in the Ida Noyes hall at the University of Chi- cago, the largest and most beautiful gymnasium for women in the world. There will be an evening at the Art Institute, under the direction of the state chairman of art, Mrs. James W. Parker, where there will be not only a view of the treasures of the Art' Institute under the guidance of artists of Chicago, but also good mu- sic and short addresses. ° At' the time grand opera will be having its opening week and Tuesday evening .will be set aside so that dele- gates who wish to attend grand opera may do so under a special rate that will be secured for them; while others will be free to attend some of the numerous interesting meetings that will be in session in different parts of the city. During the three days' session, there will be much important busi- ness to be discussed; one important subject will be the proposed change of the state meeting from November to May and other minor changes that will necessarily follow this one. There will be serious consideration of all the subjects of legislation, social wel- fare and conservation that have long been the object of the federations in- terest and earnest endeavor. There are also many new needs and -de- mands on the club women occasioned by the present condition of war and to these the club women have been responding generously. ---- The dancing party held last ev ening by the Royal Neighbors at the Wifn- netka Woman's club was' a. marked success, socially as well as financial- ly. The proceeds of the. dance, will go to a fund to be used by Donald Knox, a Winnetka boy,' for medical treatment at a sanitariim. The committee in charge of the ar- rangements for the dance included Mrs. E. E. Adams, chairman; Mrs. Cora L. Thorsen, Mrs! A. Pearson and Mrs. Alice Blackstone. ee pe Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, Jr., of Kenilworth announce the engage- ment of their daughter, Mary Kath- erine, to" Frank 'Avery Gerould, 'son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.
