WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1924 9 TENTH. DISTRICT CLUBS ADOPT GREAT LAKES HOSPITAL Individual Clubs Urged to Assume a Hospital Unit HE Federation of Clubs of the Tenth Congressional District of Illinois spent a happy day as the guest of The North End club, November 17. The spacious par- lors, with their warm colorings and beautiful oil paintings gave welcome to an enthusiastic gathering. An outstand- ing feature of the board meeting was the passage of a motion to admit and welcome into the federation Our Lady of Lourdes club. This club wll be a worthy addition. The district meeting was opened with a greeting from Mrs. Darius T. Phillips, the charming, enterprising president of the The North End club. Mrs. Frederick Blocki, loved by all her ten thousand followers, responded with her usual warmth. A short busi- ness meeting was followed by three speakers: Mrs. E. A. King spoke on "Needs of the Great Lakes Hospital;" Mrs. F. M. Brazelton, on "Inquisition or Law." and Mrs. George T. Palmer, president I. F. W. C., on "American- ization of Club Women." The morn- ing session closed with the Tenth District song. After an appetizing lunch, served efficiently by the hostess club, the afternoon session convened. A brief talk by Mrs. Samuel Horner was fol- lowed by the musical contribution of Mr. Earl Alexander. Mr. Alex- ander's voice is a great gift. The speaker of the afternoon was Mr. Frank Comerford, whose subject was "Needed Legislation." Mr. Comerford is forceful and colorful, an orator of high scholarly attainments. His mes- sage was fired with a lofty purpose. an appeal for service. A pageant was presented, arranged by Mrs. Daniel Cobb of Highland Park, and showing the activities accomplished by wom- en's clubs. The keynote of the pageant was "Service." The presentation was symbolic of the Tenth District. The Tenth District, following this ideal of service, has formally adopted the Great Lakes Hospital. Mrs. E. A. King, our Chairman of the Divi- sion of Friendly Cooperation with Ex- service Men, has mothered this cause with unselfish devotion. She urges the individual club to adopt a unit. The hospital is arranged on the much approved cottage plan. The boys love to be "adopted," and the coming year promises much happiness. The program was arranged by Mrs. Oscar Hebel, first vice-president of the Tenth District. Among the guests of the day were: Mrs. George T. Palmer, president I. F. W. C.; Mrs. John F. Decker, state chairman of publicity, and Mrs. H. S. Remington, Prasident of the Park Ridge Woman's club. Catholic Club Holds Novel Meeting Today HE Woman's Catholic Club of Wilmette, of which Mrs. Charles Barton is president, is meeting at the school at the corner of Ninth street and Linden avenue, Friday, November 28. Club members are anticipating the occasion, as they are to be entertained by the junior members of the organiza- tion. A reading will be given entitled "1750, 1924," which portrays the girl of yesterday and today. Anna O'Brien will represent the modern girl, and Miss Dorthea Tarnow will characterize the old-fashioned girl.

Two years ago the club produced "The Olid Maids' Convention" with great success, and this new play, "The Old Maids' Return," is its sequel.
