WIN NETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1925 11 "Calendar Turns Again to Fourth of July Celebration HE Fourth of July season comes onee more as a time of informal gatherings, whether of families or friends, as a time of village celbra- tion, as a time of crowded golf courses and tennis courts, and as an occasion for motor jaunts to nearby spots for a week-end of relaxation. : And this season, as usual, Winnetka families are thus celebrating. Most of the social festivity will cen- ter at the golf clubs, where, after their golf and tennis matches, members and their guests will throng for dinners and dancing. Indian Hill club is hav- ing a dinner-dance tonight that will be one of the largest affairs of the sum- mer season. At Sunset Ridge, plans are being made to serve 500 members and guests with a dinner that will be followed by out-of-door dancing. The Sheridan Shore Yacht club, whose home is a portion of the attrac- tive studio erected by Benjamin Mar- shall on the lake front at Wilmette, where the canal's terminus provides a suitable spot for craft of various kinds to ride at anchor, held the first dance of its season on the evening of the Fourth, and from now on, until the club's closing, members and their friends will dance there every Friday night. The Buccaneers club, that unique ship which was the floating setting of many jolly dinners and dances the last two seasons, has passed an unfortunate winter resting on the bottom of the canal, but it is again afloat, and will once more become a scene of social gayety, although it could not be raised from submersion in time to make its entrance on the social stage of north shore Fourth of July celebration. --O-- When Miss Edith Brigham of Glen- coe became the bride of James Delos Swan, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. James D.
