William Cowper Boyden M will open her residence at 725 Pine street, on Wednes- day, June 13, from ten un- til five o'clock, for a sale of articles made by the Vocational Society for Shut-Ins. Assisting her will be Mrs. Stephen A. Foster, Mrs. August Mag- nus, Mrs. Thomas Taylor, Mrs. Fred- erick Burlington, Mrs. Ayres Boal, Mrs. Cornelius Lynde, Mrs Preston Boyden, Mrs. W. C. Boyden, Jr., Mrs. John F. Holland, Jr., Mrs. J. E. Otis, Jr. and Miss Ruth Matz. As a result of vocational recon- struction work done among the dis- abled ex-service men, eleven women, realizing the need for organized work among men and women who are physically unable to leave their homes to earn a living, pledged their time and money, and called their organ- ization The Vocational Society for Shut-Ins. Since its organization in March, 1920, its membership of eleven has increased to over 350. In less than three years the Society has responded to more than 500 calls. It has literally thrown out the life line to 500 wrecks of human salvage, and has given them a new lease on life. They have taken the cripple, the armless and the leg- less, the soul-warped bedridden, the epileptic, the paralytic, the wheel chair prisoners--the human driftwood whom nobody wanted or could use--and have made them of some use in the world. % A message comes from Mrs. A. for instance. The Vocational Director calls upon her and finds a woman of twenty-five, a victim of infantile par- alysis, completely bed-ridden, al- though able to use her hands a little, and desperately in need of funds. Her case is made an individual one, and studied from every angle. Free of charge, she is supplied with materials, tools if necessary, and is taught to make salable articles. As soon as her work is finished it is called for, and Mrs. A. receives a check the first of the month. She does not have to wait until the work is sold. Her work is graded and priced according to its merit and the length of time involved in its produc- tion, and in this manner Mrs. A. is taught the fundamentals of business. The finished article finds a ready market when displayed at the Voca- tional Society for Shut-Ins' work room, 677 N. Michigan Ave. Chicago, or at the monthly sales held in the homes of the Society's friends and supporters. The first money Mrs. A. receives for her work changes her en- tire outlook on life. She is no longer a consumer only--a burden--she is a producer. This fact, while of vital concern to society at large, is of in- estimable value to her. The Vocational Society for Shut-Ins is not a charitable organization, as the interpretation of the word charity is generally understood. While it helps the shut-in in every possible way, its aim is educational rather than philanthropical. Its work is social service of the highest type, combining as it does ed- ucation, art, business and philan- thropy. --(-- A regular meeting of the Garden Club of Winnetka was held at the residence of Mrs. Hathaway Watson on Tuesday afternoon at which the Garden Clubs of Evanston and Kenil- worth were guests. Mrs. Watson lives in the old Higginson Place an: has greatly enhanced its beauty. The woodland structures of the lovely "Meadow Reach" were exquisite with the flowering hawthorn and wild crab, while bluebells and primroses made a carpet of color under them. iy The Congregational Sunday School Kindergarten department is planning a party on the green in front of the Community house for this afternoon, at 3 o'clock for the little folk and their mothers as guests. A full at- tendance is earnestly hoped for. NL LL 2 22222 2777777777777 7077777 SLIP COVERS Including Labor and Material A Julie.
