FEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 + NORTH SHORE WOMEN'S CLUBS PROMOTE COMMUNITY SERVICE Winnetka League to Have Luncheon for New Members HE February meeting of the Winnetka League of Women + Voters will be a luncheon held at Community House, Monday, Febru- ary 9, in honor of new members. Luncheon will be served at 12:30 5 o'c'ock as usual, but all members, both new and old, are urged to come early to join in the "get acquainted contest" to be held before luncheon. a Each member will be tagged with her name, and the hostesses in charge of the meeting have made several plans for introducing and acquainting . the members with one another. A prize is to be awarded the member who succeeds best in carrying out the "get acquainted" program. This meeting comes as a result of the fact that many women have com- plained that they have had no oppor- 2 tunities to meet members of tha2 League whom they had not known be- fore joining. Mrs. Walter Dodd will address the meeting at 1:30 o'clock on the sub- ject of "What is Going on Now and What We May Expect from the Pres- ent Session of the Illinois General As- sembly." Mrs. Dodd is in constant telegraphic communication with Springfield and will have all the lat- est news from there. She has studied the legislature in action at previous sessions and has a knowledge from her personal observances in Spring- field of the working of the state pol- itical machinery. She therefore brings a vivid account of a subject in which all League members are interested but with which few have had the oppor- tunity of personal acquaintance. Members are asked to make lanch- eon reservations 'before noon today ya Mrs. Leslie Gooder, Winnetka Varied Work Fills Days of Library Club Mernbers N January 29, Library Day at the {4 Woman's Library Club of Glen-1 coe, Otto R. Barnett, who has been president of the Library board ever since the Public Library was in- stituted in 1910, gave a most interest- ing history of this institution which was started with the 600 books donat- ed by the Woman's Library club. This ~ club was organized for that purpose. as the following extracts from the club minutes show. "At a meeting held Thursday, April 3, 18/4, at the home of Mrs. H. B. Wilmarth, the ladies of Glencoe who have been hold- ing informal 'Readings', formed an organization for intellectual and social improvement, and as it is designed to use the fees paid by the members to form the nucleus of a library, this organization shall be called 'The Woman's Library Club.'

Boynton of the University of Chi- cago giving a lecture especially ap- propriate to the occasion, Lincoln's Birthday. His subject will be "Chang- ing Ideals in American Patriotism." One of the club members who has been attending the meetings for years said, "It must be a great privilege to attend our universities if all of the in- structors are as entertaining as those who have addressed our club in re- cent years. The members who fail to avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing these distinguished gentle- men are missing a great treat." February 26 will be Art Institute View Day.

Its library moved from a store corner and now occupies a beautifully decorated room in the City Hall. This room is a reading room and club room, with a library financed by the Woman's club. This club also pays a Scout master, fur- nishes band instruments and tents for the Boy Scouts. It beautifies unsight- ly lots with shrubbery and serves in many ways to make. the community a better place for its boys and girls. Enough cannot be said in praise of the Fox Lake Woman's club. This group of women bought a lot, built a Community house, and started a li- brary. It regulates the social life of the vouth of Fox Lake, in many cases mothering in their own homes chil- dren in need of care. The Libertyville Woman's club con- tributes in a material way to its com- munity. Tt is in close touch with Lake County institutions, especially with the County Farm, and furnishes gifts and musical entertainment for the in- mates of that place. One of the late programs of the club included a lec- ture on "Social Hygiene" by Dr. Rach- ael Yarros. This club has among its problems that of Americanization of Mexicans. The Waukegan's Wom- an's club accomplishes the same re- sults as these other clubs of Lake county.
