Situated as it is, all the sports and pleasures of beach and water induce the members to make the club their summer headquarters, or at least to appear again and again to enjoy its offerings. An innovation of the month is the fortnightly dancing which will continue through- out the summer. The dancing which commenced Friday evening, July 13, will take place every other Friday night from 8 to 11 o'clock on the cement terrace of the beach. Law- rence D. Ely, chairman of the enter- tainment committee, will direct the dances. A number of new boats lie at anchor in the harbor. Sailing enthusiasts will be able to witness races which will be scheduled every Saturday afternoon. George F. Noyes is Chair- man of the regatta committee. On Friday afternoon, July 20, there will be a ladies' bridge party. An informal beach supper will take place Saturday evening, and on Friday, July 27, a dinner dance will occur from 6 to 11 o'clock, followed by another basket beach supper on Saturday, July 28. w---- The beautiful estate of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Lichtstern located on Sher- idan road and the County line in Glencoe is to be opened to the public on Wednesday, July 25, for a garden party under the auspices of the Ser- vice Star Legion for the benefit of ex-service men in hospitals here who have not received government com- pensation yet and who, or whose fam- ilies, are in temporary need. The party will start at 2 o'clock and there will be bridge and mah-jongg, fortune telling booths, and tea. Those who wish to play mah-jongg are asked to bring their own sets. A portion of the lawn and beach will be set aside for those who wish to take bas- ket suppers to the party and after supper there will be dancing on the lawn and at sundown a moving pic- ture will be shown. Mrs. J. Harry Selz is chairman of the committee on arrangements, which includes Mrs. Joseph Byfield, Mrs. Joseph C. Carry, Mrs. Albert Hale, Mrs. John H. Buckingham, Mrs. Austin Selz, Mrs. Lichtstern, Mrs. Allen R. Smart, Mrs. A. H. Harding, Mrs. Henry H. Tilton, and Mrs. F. Wight Neumann. Mrs. Frederic W. Bentley, president of the Chicago chapter of the Service Star legion, is the only woman on a committee of five recently appointed by President Harding to go to France to plan me- morials for the battlefields and burial grounds where the Americans fought and are buried. -- The Ravinia club will present the fifth children's afternoon program on Thursday afternoon, July 26, at three o'clock. The affair this year will be novel, for it will be given for the children rather than by them. Chil- dren all along the north shore are urged to come in any kind of fancy costume. A carnival spirit will pre- vail. Booths and itinerant vendors will sell many kinds of favors popular with children. The program will be a music pageant. At the close of the program, all children will be asked to take part in the grand march. --O0-- Announcement is made of the mar- riage of Miss Catherine Glen, daugh- ter of Mr. Thomas Glen, 1059 Chat- field road, and Mr. Robert M. James, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. James af 1409 West Seventy-First place, Chi- cago. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. J. H. McArthur at his home, 6607 Wood street, Chi- cago. It will mean much to say "We live at THE ORRING- TON." You are as- sured not only ele- gance, comfort and cordial service, but also a measure of prestige unattain- able elsewhere. CTIVITIES Eight little girls in Wilmette, com- bining a child's love of "Pretend" with talent for the dramatic, formed a club which has produced several plays. The last one, given on Thursday afternoon, July 12, at the home of Mrs. A. L. Miller, 106 Sixth street, was very successful. Cinderella, her Prince Charming, the wicked step- mother, the fairy god-mother and the other characters, ever popular in the hearts of children, lived again in the portrayal by the youthful actresses. Enthused, perhaps, by the object of the play, namely a contribution to the Chicago Tribune Ice Fund, the little drama was well produced under the direction of a member of the club, Olive Humphryes. Following is the cast of characters: Cinderella... 0.0 ,. san Ann Levin Charlotte ..«,.... Louise Humphryes ulin = coin oes ies Mary Jane Miller The stepmother ....Olive Humphryes The Prince ...... Hortense Schroeder Theupage. «.h\evenss Vivian Lorenzini The fairy Godmother....Carol Levin After the play, songs and recita- tions were given by the various char- acters. Owing to the interest of their friends, the children were successful in their philanthropic contribution. a -- Quite one of the most successful parties of the summer was held Satur- day evening at the Thorne residence, 474 Willow street. The hostesses, the Misses Ellison, who are staying at the house with their mother, while their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thorne, are visiting in Charlotteville, Virginia, spared no effort to make ghee party pretty as well as success- ul. The two large porches were thrown open for dancing, and the lawn and summer house, strung with bright Chinese lanterns, seemed almost like a glimpse into fairyland. Among the guests present were: Bess Stutson, Ralph Orticle, Stanley Wheatley, Duncan Sarnsworth, Bruce Thomas, Richard Burke, Virginia Klein, Helen and Margaret Haire, Sally Windes, and friends from Ey- anston. --Q-- Mrs. George Willis Risley, 916 Main street, Evanston, announces the mar- riage of her daughter Ruth Clarine, to Mr. Karl Steinkamp of Evanston, on Saturday, July 14. The ceremony occurred at the residence of the bride. Rev. O. F. Mattison of Evans- ton read the service at four o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Steinkamp will spend their honeymoon in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. They will be at home after September first at 1125 Maple avenue, Evanston. ---- An engagement of great interest to Chicago and north shore society is that of Miss Lucretia Green, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Ogden Green, 9 Locust road, Winnetka, and Mr. Kenneth Carpenter, son of Mr. and Mrs Edwin F. Carpenter of Evanston. The announcement was made last Saturday. The wedding will take place some time next month. Miss Green, president of the Junior League, is one of the popular and very attractive girls in society. Ons Little folk of the city, occu- pants of the Matheom Day nurs- ery were brought to Winnetka to spend a day of merry making in the open. Mrs. Theodore Coine of Prov- ident avenue, interested in the bene- ficial work of the nursery which is connected with the Chicago Com- mons, invited the children for lunch- eon. In the afternoon an entertain- ment was given in the garden. The Day Nursery committee assisted Mrs. Coine. --Q-- Mrs. Harry C. Watts returned Fri- day from a three months' visit in England. She was the guest of Lady Isabel Sykes (Isabel Bonar-Law) and Mrs. Johnsen of Westwood, Kent. In 1916 Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia decorated Mrs. Watts, then Miss Susana Guevara of Valparaiso, Chile, for her relief work among the Serbians. --Q-- Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden, 352 Lin- den street, will open her home and garden on Saturday afternoon, July 21, at two o'clock for a garden card party given by the garden committee of the Illinois Women's Athletic club. Mrs. Alden is chairman of the garden committee. -- ns Major E. O. Trowbridge of Kansas City, has been spending a few weeks with his brother, Dr. E. QO. Trow- bridge, 1111 Oak street. M-s. Trow- bridge has gone west for the month of August to visit Indian Pueblos and reservations in New Mexico and Arizona. --0-- Miss Josephine Sidley has left to spend three weeks with Mr. and Mrs. William Horlick of Racine, who have a cottage for the summer in Green- wich, Connecticut. --0-- Mrs. Lon.
