~ Social Happenings "Tuesday at the respective sewing meetings of the North Shore chapters of Wellesley, Vassar, Goucher and Wells, Mrs. Robert W. Millar outlined the plans the feature committee has made for "Petticoat Lane" which is to be held at the Evanston Country club November 10 and 11. It is said of the Petticoat Lane in London today, that one can buy there anything from a wedding suit to a dried herring. The same can almost be said of this version of the famous street and in it the commit- tee is striving to embody in a logical fashion all the merrymaking, the cheer and savory" festivities of old England in the Yule Tide season. The Country club will be divided into stalls, holding gifts of all kinds. Mrs. Ralph Renwick of Winnetka will preside under the boughs of the "Sugar Plum Tree" where the "gin« gerbread dog and chocolate cat" of Eugene Field fame will hold sway with old English and modern sweets of every description. The "golden gallon," under the di- rection of Mrs. Albert C. Koch of] Evanston, will be a treasure chest of lovely things from Russia, China, France, Belgium and Italy. At the "Hobby Horse", named after a comedy character in English mum- mer's plays, Mrs. Bruce MacLeish of Glencoe will conduct a typical Strat- ford-on-Avon Shop with toys and clothes for children. The "Four Hollywreaths," symbol- izing the four colleges united in this undertaking, will be a general gift shop specializing in lingerie and household things under the chairman ship of Mrs. Ralph Brown of Evans- ton. Mrs. Edmund G. Soper of Evans- ton is in charge of the "Goode Wife's Cupboard", a tempting array of jams, jellies, pickles, cakes and pies. To satisfy the inner man, the "White Swan Tavern" will serve at- tractive meals for supper and after- noon tea, under Mrs. Scott Brown of Evanston. "At the Sign of the Bookane'ers", Mrs. Pierce Ward of Hubbard Woods will have a book stall, necessary to complete an old English street, and containing as well as autographed books, some unusual Italian prints and Christmas cards. Upstairs in the ball room, the mum- mers of Petticoat Lane will present afternoon and evening programs un- der the direction of Miss Elizabeth Stanwood of Evanston. Before and after the performances, Mrs. Horace Dawson will arrange for dancing. Adding to the general color and at- mosphere of the street, itinerant WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 vendors in costume from the various booths will sell their wares.

Montessori and is responsi ble for introducing her kindergarten methods in America. gels Of interest on the north shore is the announcement of the engagement of Miss Elizabeth Webster Duffy, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Armour C.
