Addresses were petd) made by Rev. Walter Henry Macpherson, Dr. William Sadler, Horace Bridges, Mrs. Cyrus Perkins, Mrs. John Sherman, Shailer Mathews, Dr. F. R. Moulton and others. On Monday even- ing Mrs. William H. Hart, president of the federation, entertained the state board members at dinner at the College club. On Tuesday evening the state board and district boards had dinner at the Con- gress, followed by a program, with Mrs. George Plummer, Mrs. Frederick Dow and Miss Harriet Vittum as the speakers. On Wednesday evening there was a banquet at the Congress with Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout and Mrs. Joseph Bowen giving addresses and the past presidents of the federation giving short | talks. On Thursday evening the closing program consisted of "The Illinois Federation in Retrospect", showing pictures representing some of the activities of the federation in its history of twenty-five years. There have also been trips to Hull House, Booth House, and Fellowship House for those interested in settlement work. Deisani from the north shore clubs included Miss Elizabeth |. , Mrs. Wiley J. Huddle, alternates, Mrs. and. Mrs. I.eon H. Winne, from the Winnetka club; Gemmell Baker, Mrs. Charles N. Hurlbut, Alfred CG. Freeman, Mrs. E. O. Blake and Mrs. Frank A. Copeland from the Wilmette Woman's club. The Jolly Tar club in Waukegan, conducted by the Illinois Council of Parent-Teacher associations, contin- ues to accommodate between 1,000 and 2,000 boys a week, and is an in- creasingly attractive place for them to spend shore leave. coming into the navy are younger than those during war time, it being | no uncommon thing to find a chap who owns with much pride that he is "only 14, but I fooled the recruiting officer into thinking I was 17." Such boys as these, whether they have come from good homes or bad homes, or no homes at all (for many of them are picked up on the street, willing to join because in the navy they will get "three squares a day" and warm clothes), need the home atmosphere of such a club as the Jolly Tar. Many of the lads spend their whole shore leave at the club, sleeping, playing games, popping corn, or read- ing, going to a boarding-house in the block for their meals. It is-an-inter- esting thing to see, week day even- ings, the men who are preparing for examinations, studying quietly all over the house. There are certain rooms reserved for those who want to be quiet and mo man with social a turn of mind ventures into them. Mrs. hostess, grouches, Edward Morse, the resident is also general "listener to " as one boy said, binder-up The new boys | of injured fingers, player of games, private banker, and sympathetic and | unsentimental friend. It is hoped that the club may be a permanent | institution, as necessary in peace as in war time. While Mrs. O. T. Bright of Chicago, Mrs. William F. Young of Oak Park, {and Mrs. C. M. Cartwright of Evans- ton have contributed largely to the success of the Jolly Tar club, the love and gratitude of the navy boys goes largely to Mrs. B. F. Langworthy of Winnetka, who originally conceived the idea of mothering the Fouthiad boys of the navy, and who is working against many odds to make ths] pleasant home a permanent one. With the serving of a last chicken dinner next Sunday, the Barn Swallow waffle shop, located at 1868 Sheridan road, Evanston, will close its doors, according to the committee of the Evanston Smith college circle who have it in charge. This unique shop was opened Jan- uary 13 in a barn loaned for the pur- pose by Mrs. George B. Reynolds, and has been operated for the benefit of the Smith college four million dollar endowment fund. It has already contributed $3,000 t« the fund, and several hundred dollars more will probably be sent after the shop goes out of existence.
