WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 -.. Arden Shore Women Plan Annual Spring Drive For Camp Funds RS. Carl BR. "latham: of Evanston gave a luncheon on Friday, March 17, for the Board of Managers of the Arden Shore Associa- tion, of which she is president. After the luncheon the regular monthly business meeting was held and plans laid in preparation for the annual Spring drive for funds to sup- port the camp at Lake Bluff. The drive will take place in May, the usual time, and the directors hope to raise $40,000 in the North Shore villages, with the help also from Chi- cago. The nutritional work among boys and girls between 14 and 16, who are physically unfit for industry, has be- come so well established and the re- sults are so gratifying that the As- sociation is sure the friends of the Camp must feel well repaid for their generous support in the past, so that they will be willing to continue that support and add to it so that the work may go on and expend from time to time as seems necessary. The following women form the Board of Managers of the Arden Shore Association: Mrs. J. McMregor Adams, honorary president; Mrs. Carl R. Latham, president; Mrs. Robert B. Gregory, vice-president; Mrs. Grant Ridgway, vice-president; Mrs. E. D. Parmelee, treasurer; Miss Gladys Spry, record- ing secretary; Mrs. George Shaw, corresponding secretary.

The Rise of Sensible Shoes It is quite the fashion now to wear sensible and efficient shoes. Once upon a time they were considered "old," but since the college girls and the women's clubs and the Y. W. C. A. girls turned to good-looking shoes modeled upon natural line, the whole world of style has turned its back upon the sharply pointed toe. Low heels for daytime wear are illustrated in the fashion magazines. The sharp toes of two years ago seem very out-of-date. Comfortable shoes much easier for every woman, whether she spend her day in the business district or whether she passes the hours in duties of household and motherhood, it is no wonder the styles have changed. One of the best looking of sensible shoes is the Cantilever Shoe, which we recommended to you with perfect confidence. You will find its natural lines most agreeable to your foot, its flexible arch most delightful when you walk and want your feet to feel free and strong. If you stand a good deal, its snug fitting instep will prove most restful. Proper heels, medium or low, with good room for the toes to feel at ease, are other features that go to make Cantilever Shoes so delightfully com- fortable that every day you wait you are missing a new happiness. Come tomorrow, see how smart they look on your foot and how wonderful they feel! Sold on North Shore only by NORTH SHORE BOOTERY 529 Davis St., cor. Chicago Ave. EVANSTON Phone Ev. 675 make life so NEWS of the NORTH SHORE CLUBS It was announced that another musi- cal program will be given on Morch 16, which will be in charge of Mrs. Jerry | Rothschild.

She announced a Vesper service, which will be held at the Studebaker theatre March 26, to which all are invited. the St. Francis Hospital on Ridge ave- nue, Evanston. They are obliged to turn away an average of two pa- tients a day owing to the lack of room. It is hoped to raise funds to enlarge the hospital to such an extent that 100 new beds may be installed. The subject for the afternoon was "Project Teaching." Miss Cooke of the Francis Parker School explained to those present how this progressive school takes a child from the first grade and studies him as an individ- ual on up until he is ready for college. Miss Cooke stated that self-actuated work causes the greatest gain. Real experiences with actual materials is essential. This gives the pupils an education in choice. Steropticon slides were shown of the Santa Claus Toy where the whole school is busily engaged for ten days before Christmas in mending old toys and making new ones. When completed these are dis- tributed among 1500 {cWildren who otherwise would perhaps have no toys for Christmas. There is a school pa- per edited and printed by the pupils. A Wireless Club and other activities which seek to draw out the individual- ity of the child and help him to develop self reliance are maintained. Dr. Fowler presented the needs of |* Supt.

Here is one that ap- pealed to us especially this week: Dear Kiddie Nook: I have been reading your Column with interest, and want to tell you how sorry I feel that I was never in your inviting store until just last week. I always imag- ined your prices would be too high, although I have admired the pretty things in your window with longings and wished so much that I could afford to buy from you. Now that I have final- ly visited your store and in- vestigated your prices, I would like to "tell the world" that you are more than rea- sonable. Your prices are very low, and still every- thing is so exclusive. What a boone you are to the moth- ers and children of this com- munity. How much you can save our strength and time, when we realize there is absolutely no need of go- ing into the city to get the nicest things we could imag- ine, and at far more reason- able prices too. Special attention is in- vited to our increased assortment of Fancy Goods - stamped and ap- plique, ranging all the way from bibs and baby dresses to full-size bed spreads and many other pretty articles for moth- er as well as the chil- dren.
