WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 19 NORTH SHORE CLUBS PREPARED FOR ELABORATE OPENINGS Amateur Dramatics Included in Year's Plans for Wilmette HE Woman's Club of Wilmette is beginning ' the year under favor- able conditions, sound finances, newly decorated clubhouse and an atmos- phere of general prosperity. The new of- ficers have taken up their duties efficient- ly, and we have an able leader in our new president, Mrs. R. E. Pattison Kline, who has served the club capably in several executive positions, and whose five years as secretary of the Confer- ence of Club Presidents and Program Chairman has given her broad knowledge of the needs and possibilities of Women's Clubs. It is the earnest desire of the incoming board to live up to the high standard of harmony, loyalty, co-opera- tion and service set by the retiring ad- ministration. In making out the program for the coming year the club has sought to retain what has proved valuable and constructive in the past, and to intro- duce several innovations which will meet the constant demand for change. One of the novelties which is sure to be popular is the Society of Amateur Dramatics under the direction of Mrs. John Mannerud. Club members of dramatic taste and ability will en- joy working with this group which will study and produce plays from time to time during the year under the name of the Woman's Club Players. The club's many booklovers will welcome the book reviews instituted by our Art and Literature chairman, Mrs. Ralph Huff, on the first Friday of every month, beginning with No- vember 7. FKach day is under the di- rection of a different leader and worthwhile Fcoks of the hour, fiction and non-fiction, will be considered. Mrs. Edward Scheidenhelm is the first leader, and the books for November 7 are "The Passing of A Great Race," "The Cathedral" and "The Middle of the Road." One of the needs of the club has been more opportunity for social con- tact with club members and their families. With this in view the usual evening lectures have been abandoned in favor of dancing parties. These are under the direction of Mrs. N. C. Colwell, and are certain to be among the pleasantest events of the year. There is also a change in the Christmas entertainment for the chil- dren. On December 28 there will be a Chalk Talk for the younger chil- dren by Mr. Charles Morgan, one of our own artists whose beautiful mosaic etching and drawing was so much admired at the exhibit. This is a fine opportunity for the youngsters to see how a real artist does it. There will also be music by Miss Violet Davis, an intelligent young whistler. For the Juniors who have put aside childish things there will be an eve- ning dancing party with an orchestra 'n everything, lasting until the dis- sipated hour of 9 p. m. As many of us are vitally interested in the concerns of our high school a New Trier evening has been ar- ranged for November 23, at 8 p. m. Mr. Clerk will talk to us, the orches- tra will play, and there will be an informal reception afterwards. Come and meet your children's teachers. A Civics department is introducing an innovation in a series of talks on Finance for Women, by leading authorities on that subject. If the First of the Month is a season of prayer and fasting or even if yon are of the complacent group who can make figures eat out of their hands, you will find these talks very much worthwhile. So much for the new departures. The first event of the club year will be. a White Elephant Tea on Sep- tember 26, for the benefit of the Economy Shop. Everyone in the vil- lage is invited. Please bring a White Elephant of some kind. These will be disposed of and the proceeds, as is the case of all Economy Shop receipts, will go to deserving charity. Not a penny is ever diverted to any other purpose. The work of this important department under the chairmanship of Mrs. Charles Eldridge, deserves a longer notice which will be given at an early date. The Philanthropy department, Mrs. Charles McCue, chairman, is all set for a banner year and is sure to have it if energy and enthusiasm counts for anything. The Philanthropy card party will be given on November 14, and is to be directed by Mrs. Blanche McDOWELL SCHOOL 5 S.

Mrs. Fuchs of the Social depart- ment assures us that the luncheons of this year will be of the same high standard and low price as last year proving that miracles can still be worked. Owing to the efforts of Mrs. M. H. McMillen and her committee who worked while we played this summer, our stage has been redecorated and a cyclorama is nearly ready to be placed which will add greatly to the attrac- tiveness of our clubhouse. The first club program will be given on October 10. There will be a re- ception to officers and a musicale by which guarantees Charles Wakefield Cadman and Prin- | Ber ace 10 Mos: Jeph Word oro cess Tsiamina. The program is in charge of the Music department, Mrs. Harvey Bush, chairman. Owing to the splendid work of the Exhibition chairman, Mrs. A. J. Co- burn, and the fine co-operation of our artists our Art exhibition last year was a great success, and proved that we have many local artists of whom we can be truly proud. Our club- house lends itself admirably to ex- hibition purposes and the exhibition will be repeated during the month of April. The Current Events classes which have been such a valuable and inter- esting feature of our clubwork will go on under the able leadership of Mr. R. E. P. Kline. The fact that this is Mr. Kline's fourth year with us speaks for itself and the popularity of his work. So many club members have ex- pressed the wish to hear more of Mrs. Maryott's charming talks on Opera that we are to have her again and have timed her lectures so that we may hear them and then attend the opera. The subjects will be announced at a later date. The classes in Effective Speaking conducted by Miss Maude Miner will be continued through the year and a new class will be formed. They will begin February 4 and continue on Mondays for ten weeks. At the annual meeting in April the hour of meeting for the general club was changed from 2:30 to 2 o'clock. This will make an earlier adjourn- ment possible. If you wish to avoid standing in line a half hour or more at the open- ing meeting send your check for $7.50 to the club treasurer, Mrs. H. S. Griswold, 619 Seventh street. Dues became delinquent September 1, and if not paid by November 15, member- ship is forfeited without further notice. Resignations cannot be accepted after October 1 without payment of dues for the current year. The Bulletin will be issued every two months during the club year and will contain notices of change in program, announcements of special club activities and leading articles by some of our distinguished fellow townspeople.
