WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 7 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION | Petticoat Lane 'Work-Shop Opens 4-College Benefit ETTICOAT LANE, the four-col- lege benefit which is occupy- .ing the attention of college wo- men along the North Shore, has hung out its shingle on its work shop. The shingle is a giddy rose and green and blue sign, bear- ing the picture of a mid-Victorian lady with a bouquet in each hand and a long and full skirt. She swings, dangling in the breezes, from that much utilized building at the junec- ture of Hinman avenue and Sheridan road in Evanston, once a barn and belonging to Mrs. George E. Rey- nolds. This barn, which has won fame through previous service in other col- lege drives for funds, is now labeled Petticoat Lane Work-shop. Here various committees of North Shore college women gather daily to work on the myriad articles which are to go on sale when the real Petticoat Lane opens November 10th, at the Country club of Evanston. Meanwhile under the able co-chair- manship of Mrs. George B. Dryden and Mrs. Robert S. DeGolyer prepara- tions proceed apace. Husbands also have volunteered their service and here rehearsals under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Stanwood are soon to begin for a play in whose cast it is rumored, gentlemen are in the majority.
