| | | | 9 Next Year's Club Plans Occupy Newly Elected Presidents UNCHEONS, musicals, business meetings and elections of officers during the last three weeks have brought to a close the season for the local clubs in the suburbs from Wilmette north through Glencoe. Already the newly selected officers are busy with plans, arranging committees, looking up speakers, artists and musicians to supply interesting, attractive, entertaining and instructive programs for the new season commencing in October. Their days throughout the summer will be actively taken up with details and arrangements for a coming club year of varied in- terests. Few of us realize in reading from week to week the announcements of each of the local Woman's clubs, just how many they are and how influential each has been in the life of its own village, and en masse they have been instru- mental in an enriching and broadening influence on the community as a whole. The question has been asked many times of the editor of this club page, "Just how many local woman's clubs have we in the territory covered by our three community papers ?"' There are five of these organizations which individually and collectively are vital forces in the educational, civic philanthropic, cultural and social life of the villages of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Hubbard Woods and Glen- coe. They are participators in philan- thropic work in Chicago, and taking ac- tve interest in international affairs. The Wilmette Woman's club, the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette, the Kenil- worth Neighbors, the Winnetka Wom- an's club and the Glencoe Woman's Li- brary club have been the agents through- out the past season by which prominent speakers, musicians and artists have been brought to these north shore vil- lages and through which local talent in art, literature and music has been brought out and encouraged. Courses in French, in dramatic art, drama study, public speaking, in finance, In current events and civics have been conducted in different clubs. The Civics and Philanthropy depart- ments have secured as lecturers such noted speakers as Hugo Pam, Judge Gemmill, Harriet Vittum, Quincy Wright, Thomas Elliott, Mrs. Maurice Lieber, Mrs. Anthony French Merrill, Anna Belle Ferrier, Mrs. Sara B. Place, Anne Elizabeth Allen, Lydia Schmidt, Miss Esther Dunshee, R. E. Pattison Kline and Mrs. J. Marc Fowler. In the field of art, music and travel, these clubs have made it possible for north shore residents to hear, among others, Channing Pollock, dramatist, Anita Willetts Burnham and Max Thalman, artists; Glenn Dunn, music critic; Dudley Crafts Watson, artist and travel lecturer; Percy Eckhart, Summer School Lectures Interest All Club Women OMMENCING on Saturday, May 17, with a reception at 8 o'clock . at the Chicago Woman's club, Fine Arts building, at which the foreign delegates and presidents of the wom- en's organizations of city and state will be the honored guests, the Sixth Inter- national Summer school, under the auspices of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, will be introduced to Chicago on this, its initial session in the United States.
