Booth, on Monday, May 25, at the Skokie Golf club. Those present were Mrs. William A. Fox, president of the club: Mrs. Andrew T. Mac- Leish, Mrs. William T. Cresmer, Mrs. Edward H. Ravenscroft, Mrs. Fred P. Patton, Mrs. Chesley R. Perry and the hostess, Mrs. Booth. The only ab- sentees were Mrs. Albert O. Olson, treasurer of the committee, who with other alumnae is in the Fast attend- ing the semi-centennial celebration at Wellesley college, and Mrs. Albert R. Gates, new treasurer of the "club, who is an ex-officio member of the com- mittee by virtue of her club office, who was unable to be present on account of illness. After a delicious luncheon served at a window table overlooking the beauti- ful Skokie valley, the committee re- tired to the new Green room just done ever so artistically by two members of the Woman's Library club, Mrs. Fay R. Harper and Mrs. James M. Hobbs, where a business meeting was held. In view of the fact that the drive has so recently been postponed it was not expected that there would be much to say or do, but the mem- bers of the building committee have retained their enthusiasm to such an extent that the meeting did not ad- journ until 5 o'clock. Mrs. Booth stated that to save the club the postage which would have amounted to $30, she and her children had personally delivered the Pros- pectus of the proposed new club house to all of the members except those who have already left town for the summer. She will hold these until their return unless notified where they can be forwarded. She further stated that the mem- bers who had volunteered to pay for the Prospectus, feeling that the re- turn therefrom would be manyfold, stood ready to reimburse the club for its entire cost, including the artist's bill which has already been paid. It.was voted to collect this fund and have the bills paid at once. The secretary, Mrs. Perry, was in- structed to send letters of thanks to nry P. Williams of Glencoe, whose wife is a member of the club and who i$ a member of the firm of Williams and Cunnyngham, who has so gener- ously put the resources of his adver- tising organization at the disposal of the Woman's Library club without charge; to George S. Lyman of High- land Park, art director of his staff, who has contributed his services in directing the work of laying out the Prospectus; Harry DaBoll, the ar- tist, who gave a material reduction of his usual fee; to the Barnes-Cros- by Co., engravers, of which firm Mrs. Benjamin F. Buck of Glencoe is a member, who did the work at cost, and to Ralph D. Rogers of Glencoe whose wife is a member of the club and who 1s a member of the firm of Rogers and Company and generously printed the Prospectus at cost. Mrs. Gates sent word that $210 had already been received from the card party held May 20, at the home of Mrs. Clarence T. MacNeille for the benefit of the building fund, and a letter of appreciation will be sent to Mrs. MacNeille and her committee for their successful efforts. The party was a delightful social affair and Mrs. Mac- Neille's spacious home was flooded with sunshine and filled with gaily attired club members who enjoyed the be- ginning of the year's activities for the NEW SPORT OXFORDS In a combination of attract- ive leathers $7.75 They are stylish, smart look- ing and practical sport ox- fords for women and misses.

Glencoe Garden Club Tour and Tea Hostess HE, Glencoe Garden club kept open house on Friday, May 15, with the Kenilworth Garden club as guests. The visitors were met at 1:30 o'clock on the lawn of the Union church, and were then conducted through the gardens of the former club. The first garden visited was that of Mrs. Percy Armstrong on Bluff street. It was primrose time and hundreds of the lovely blossoms graced the garden walls. A short walk took the visitors to Mrs. Winthrop Gilring's garden where stately tulips nodded in the sun. From there they went to Mrs. George Mieth's, where her beautiful borders and rock garden were very much ad- mired. A short ride next took the guests to Mrs. George Horton's home to see a lovely hillside planting of many na- tive flowers. The William Levering garden came next, where the quaint bird houses and charming pool made a delightful picture. A longer trip to Mrs. Carl Miner's garden made the visitors feel as if they were trans- planted to Merrie England, where they saw her beautiful wall planted with many varieties of Alpines. They then went into her rock garden where a gurgling stream found its way into a lily pool. The ravines and native landscapes of the Andrew and Bruce MacLeish gar- dens with their lovely setting of lake front and wonderful vistas, completed and enjoyable and instructive tour. Each owner was in her garden to ex- plain and answer all questions. A de- lectable tea party completed the after- noon with Mrs. Bruce Macleish as a gracious hostess. The Glencoe Garden club extends an invitation to all garden lovers who wish to visit their gardens during May and June. Landscape Design Institute in Session Next Month HE Institute of Landscape Gar- dening under the auspices of the Lake Forest Garden club « will open at the Gorton school, Lake For- $b on July 7, to continue until July 16. This Institute will be devoted to the study of landscape design as a fine art of which the principles may be applied to small dooryards and gardens as well as to large estates. Hitherto, it is stated, both proiessional and amateur gardeners have been instructed mainly in the production of fine flowers and plants. They will appreciate the value of "an added essential acquirement-- that of well-considered design--which will transform the: collection of charm- ing details, found in the average gar- den, into a beautiful and permanent composition. An exhibition of the work of a select- ed number of landscape architects will be displayed on the walls of the audi- ence room, during the session, to show by what process the landscape archi- tect produces his effects. In order to illustrate the principles of landscape art, notable gardens in Lake Forest will be visited and ex- plained. The committee in charge is composed of Mrs. A. A. Carpenter of Lake For- est, chairman; Mrs. Tiffany Blake and Mrs. Horace Martin, also of Lake For- est, and Mrs. Howard Phillips, Mrs. William G. Hibbard, and Mrs. William B. Hale, of Winnetka.
