BN STR WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 9 WOMAN GOLFERS IN FIRST MATCH AT SUNSET RIDGE JULY 18 Sunset Ridge Club Will Devote a Day Each Week to Women HE list of local golf clubs has another entrant whose formal opening on Thursday, July 3, was one of the big social functions of the summer season. A dinner and dance introduced members and their guests to the Sunset Ridge clubhouse and to the season's festivities. The following morning the golf course opened to the players at 8 o'clock. Tuesdays are to be devoted to wom- en's activities, with golf, luncheon and bridge the program. The regular golf matches, however, are not beginning until July 15, when the opening event will be 9 hole medal play with handi- cap. Prior to that time, the women will have the opportunity to play over the course and to turn in their scores for handicaps. Reservations have already been made for luncheon and bridge on July 8, the first "Ladies' Day" on the club's very new calendar. Each week there will be a regular luncheon in addition to a la carte service. The club is entering upon its first season with a great enthusiasm which foretells added social activity along the north shore. Miss Evelyn Smalley Is Luncheon Guest at Club ISS Evelyn G. Smalley, who, it is said, has been the most dec- orated woman worker of Amer- ica, was the guest of honor and the speaker on Monday noon at luncheon at the Woman's City club, under the auspices of the Women's Overseas league. Almost constantly under fire, Miss Smalley served with Gen. Gour- oud's army, and recently she was dec- orated with the cross of the Legion of Honor. She has been directing a foyer in the Ruhr for the French army. The Women's Overseas league includes in its list of members, a number of north shore residents who were active in the very successful benefit perform- ance, "A Perfect Forty-Eight," a Great Lakes production, given at the Audi- torium the latter part of April. Mrs. B. F. Langworthy of Winnet- ka is the president of the Woman's City club. Monday Opens with Flag Contest at Skokie Club ONDAY at Skokie was devoted to a four ball foursome, played in the morning, and won by Mrs. Palmer and Miss Florence McGuire. The afternoon's event was a driving contest, won by Mrs. Edgar Stevens, who exhibited some splendid driving, wining on the merit of the distance and straightness of her shots, her three balls making about 175 yards. Next Monday's events start at 9 o'clock with a flag contest, with ap- proaching and putting contests beginning at 2 in the afternoon. Miss D'Arcy Orde is in charge of the events this month. 4 Lake Forest Gardens Open to Public July 5 RS. Earle Reynolds, Mrs. Law- rence Armour, Mrs. Leverett Thompson and Mrs. George A. McKinlock will open their estates to the public on Saturday at a nominal admission charge. This weekly open- ing of beautiful Lake Forest gardens is conducted under the auspices of the Lake Forest Garden club. Glencoe Flower Show a Success and Revelation HE second annual Flower Show conducted by the nature committee of the Woman's Library club of Glencoe was held during the afternoon and evening of June 26, in the Masonic Temple basement with ample space and walls suitable for the background of foliage which provided a cool and re- freshing atmosphere and artistic setting for the lovely blossoms. Privet nine bark and honeysuckle entwined around the pillars, with clusters of peonies at the foot of them, hanging baskets of large, beautiful fuschias overhead, from Mr. Stonehill's gardens, a table with umbrella stand, with long spacious tables for the flowers, made altogether a beau- tiful garden setting for the vari-colored flowers, a profusion of which greeted the eye. The charm and beauty of the scene has not been excelled in any gar- den display on the north shore. "Many of the exhibits were decorated with a blue, red, or orchid ribbon by the three judges, and many received honor- able mention," was the committee's comment. "While we feel that every exhibit was worthy of honorable mention, the list was too lengthy for individual comment. "They were all there, the pink, cream, and red roses, the daisy, the delphinium, the annual larkspur, the lemon lily, the iris, the fox-glove, the forsythia, yes, the fern, too, the choral bell, old fashioned pinks, the bachelor buttons, perennial butter cups, umbellatum lilies, anchusa, corn flowers, day lilies, and garden heli- otrope, snap dragons, poppies, Canter- bury bells, forget-me-nots and peonies, all arrayed in beautiful bowl, basket or vase for inspection. "A beautiful table in the northeast corner of the room was contributed by the local florists. "The generous exhibit of gorgeous peonies by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Battey made an embankment of pink, white and red, too beautiful for description. "The peonies on sale, the generous do- nation of Mr. Battey, Mrs. Samuel Wat- son's little stony "Old Woman's Gar- den" and the bird sticks netted a small amount which was used to defray ex- penses. "The committee wishes to express its appreciation for the kindly assistance of the local florists, for the judges, the donations of foliage by Edward L. Glaser, Mrs. John Hardin and Mrs. W. B. Manchester, the receptacles for shrub- bery by Henry Wienicke, the hauling away of refuse by the village, and the assistance rendered by Fred Edwards and Gerald Colver. "The many exhibits, small and large, the large attendance of visitors, the spirit of cooperation and enthusiasn {you all sometime in June, 1925. most gratifying and greatly appreciated | by the committee, the members of which | worked faithfully several days for the success of the exhibition. They now feel well repaid for the effort. "At the close of the show flowers were taken to a few in the village con- fined to their homes through illness, and to the Highland Park hospital where they were gratefully received and con- tinued to be a joy while they lasted. "The nature committee hopes to meet r\ULCDAY'S go at North Shore 1 consisted in 18-hole medal play with handicap, the qualifying round for the July trophy, and the last two matches of the June tournament, with Mrs. Ralph Boozer and Mrs. E. J. Bar- ron in the final match. : Approaching, driving and putting con- tests were also scheduled. Those events which could not be played off this week, will be continued next Tuesday.
