i LEN ¥) . " WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1924 Bn EE b, GOLF CLUBS AND GARDEN CLUBS ENGAGE NORTH SHORE WOMEN Women Golfers to Qualify for July Trophy on Tuesday HE matches on schedule for next Tuesday's golf at North Shore club include 18 holes of medal play, the qualifying round for the July trophy, and ball sweepstakes. Lunch- eon will be served to the players as usual. A very successful guest day was held on June 17, when the 18 hole "Kickers" handicap was won by Mrs. Ralph C. Boozer of North Shore, and the guest prize was awarded to Mrs. Kraft of the Park Ridge club. Mrs. N. J. Conrad was the winner of the 9 hole "Kickers" handicap, with Mrs. Wheeler of Rogers Park winner of the guest prize. Rain coming early in the morning in a steady downpour interfered with the divided foursome planned for Tuesday of this week. The women have heen taking great in- terest in the Tuesday golf, and many members have availed themselves of the opportunity to entertain luncheon guests at this time, making "Ladies' Day" a social occasion as well as a day of sport. Weekly Garden Tours Conducted in Glencoe HE nature committee of the Wom- an's Library Club of Glencoe has afforded Glencoe gardeners the privilege: of motoring each Tuesday morning to beautiful Glencoe and near- by gardens. Following is a report of the three tours that have been made. A trip was planned for Tuesday, June 24, but at the time of going to press, the editor of this page has been unable to secure information concerning the jaunt, If Tuesday's weather in Glencoe resem- bled that which Wilmette suffered throughout the entire day, it is safe to say that the visit was postponed. Because north shore women are gar- den lovers, they will without a doubt take interest in the description of the places visited. "The first place of visit was the Rav- enscroft hillside garden which is dis- tinguished by the old willow tree and the beauty of the western field. Next, the George Hortons' small border gar- den where the flowering crabs and love- ly borders planted in and out and around the trees, made a beautiful picture. "Lovely tulips and a charming Persian carpet of pansies and violets told a story of a true gardener's hand at work in the garden of Harry Keene, where the visiting group next went. "Stopping at Mrs. Frederick Fisher's, the visitors saw her wild, woodland garden where the flowering crabs and hawthorns, and the fern beds, with two nesting robins overhead made .a beauti- ful picture. Shooting stars, phlox, jack- in-the-pulpits, Dutchman's pipes, column- bine and trilliums were growing in the woods through which an intriguing path "wound in and out to the ravine. Bright tulips completed the color picture. Four- teen pairs of birds were nesting in the garden. "The Paul Magnusons' rockland gard- en was as lovely as a Japanese print. The natural beauty of the old forest and orchard trees, combined with that of those planted, made a delightful setting for the small pool. Flowers have been planted in the crevices of the jutting rock which hold back the terrace. "The next week the party first visited the beautiful, winding, rock-terraced garden of Mrs. Harry Peters, where were found in bloom many beautiful per- ennials peeping from among the rocks. "A winding, artistic border of blooms greeted us at Mrs. James Wilkerson's garden which had a most beautiful back- ground of woods and wild flowers. "Motoring to Mr. Edward IL. Glaser's beautiful grounds, we looked through a gorgeous vista of Persian lilacs of indescribable beauty, and saw his won- derful oriental poppies bursting into flower. The next garden visited was on the beautiful lake frontage property of Mrs. Charles Stonehill, with all its for- mal beauty. "The tour ended on the grounds of Mrs. John Hardin's home where the garden nestles on the lake frontage. The artistic arrangement of color and the wild crab apple trees in blossom made a beautiful picture. "Those who went on a garden trip with the nature committee Tuesday, June 17, had a treat in their visit to the grounds of W. Bradshaw Egan of Highland Park. Among other inter- esting features were the beautiful Ja- panese tree peony, the unusual haw- thorn, 30 years old, the ravine of ferns, and the Rivers purple beeches, won- derful and beautiful. "At the lake front home of E. V. Price were beautiful oriental poppies in bloom and a group of crab apple trees of large double blossom. The party was most interested in the preservation of an ash tree through the operation of fat infusion, and orange trees in bud, blos- som, and fruit. "The trip ended with Mrs. Paul Bat- tey's garden where we saw a wonder- ful display of magnificent iris and a field of budding peonies which we hope to see in full bloom next Tuesday." Visiting Golfers Win 3 of 4 "Open Day" Prizes REAT enthusiasm was shown at Skokie club on Monday, the day open to the players of the Wom- en's Western Golf association.

Events for Women Great Success at Indian Hill WING to the three-day tourna- ment held at Glen View last week, the regular Woman's Golf day at Indian Hill, on Wednesday, June 18, was not featured. No matches were played and no prizes awarded. This past Wednesday the prizes were given for those players having he greatest number of 5's; the results, however, not being available in time for this club page.

They Save Your Stockings Your Feet and Your Pocketbook Many Cantilever Shoe wearers have discovered that their hosiery wears an unusually long time. The non-rubbing heel of the Cantilever Shoe does away with friction at the heel of the stocking.
