=, J . pre-tubercular ocial Happenings on the North Shore by Ruth Risley = ITH THE OPERAS of Friday and Saturday evenings, the second week of Ravinia's season closes. Conditions so far have been ideal for making it a great success. The weather, which is an important factor, has been good. The principal singers have national reputatiens, and they are equalling, and in many instances, surpassing, what we have been led to expect from them. Old and new operas are being given. "Pagliacci" is always well done at Ravinia. "The Barber of Seville," was beauti- fully sung last week, and the production of "Il Trovatore" was one of the best performances of opera ever given at the park, according to our critic. This week, on Friday evening, "L'Oracclo," a new opera, will be given, preceded by the first act of "Pagliacci"; Saturday evening, "Ia Boheme," is to be presented. The attendance has been very good. There were seven thousand persons present on the opening 'night, and nearly as many on the Fourth of July. # Concerts are always given on Monday evenings and on Friday evenings, unless an opera is substituted, as is the case this week. On Thursday afternoons of each week, there is an entertainment and a concert for the children, on Friday afternoon, a program is given for the soldiers and sailors, and popular programs are given Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Operas are given on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. 2 The Ravinia club is this year entertaining the wounded soldiers and sailors from Fort Sheridan on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Supper is served in the stadium to about three hundred men each night. The club rooms over the casino are kept open and the men are welcome to come here at any time. This week the Winnetka Ravinia committee, assisted by others, has charge of the canteen. On each Friday morning at 11 o'clock, the Ravinia club holds a meeting in the club room. The officers and the members of the com- mittees in the north shore towns are expected to be present, and the holders of season ticket books are invited and urged to attend. In this way, many can know of the interesting work which the Ravinia club is doing. HE LAWN of Mrs. John W. Scott's residence on Sheridan road, will be the scene of a fairy-like fete this evening and again on Saturday afternoon of this week, when one hundred and twenty-five Winnetka children will present Jessie Gaynor's "The House that Jack Built," the libretto for which was written by Mrs. Harrison B. Riley of Evanston. The proceeds from the affair will go to Arden Shore, the summer camp for city worn mothers and children near Lake Bluff. Mrs. Thomas H. McInnerney. who is the chairman of the two days, has as her co-workers: Mrs. John 'W. Scott, Mrs. Horace Kent Tenney, Mrs. George A. Thorne, Mrs T. Philip Swift, Mrs. William P. Sidley, Mrs. John Hardin, Mrs. Ralph Ellis, Miss Ruth Matz, and Miss Augusta Fenger. iy Society along the north shore and in Chicago is greatly interested in the carbaret supper that will end a festive day on Saturday of this week, when a fete for the benefit of the Ridge Farm Preventorium for' Children will be held at Onwentsia. The afternoon program will consist of a polo match at 3 o'clock, the On- wentsia team meeting the Miami Valley Hunt and Polo team from Dayton, Ohio. followed by a golf game, when Miss Anna Stirling and Robert A. Gardner will play against Miss Elaine Rosenthal and "Chick" Evans. Onwentsia grounds are at their loveliest now, and every one, whether he is a golf "bug" or still sane, may enjoy "gallerying" the foursome. little "halfway" stand, presided over by some of the prettiest debutantes, will be an oasis for the tired way- farers at the end of the ninth hole. Ridge farm, for the benefit of which the fete will be given, is filling a niche that no other institution in this part of the country attempts to fill, that of caring for little girls with tubercular tendencies, and is ac- complishing a wonderful work. The farm covers twenty-seven . ; acres, lying in the open country about who is spending the summer at one and a half mile west of Fort Charlevoix, Mich. with her family, Sheridan.
