WINNETKA TALK November 27, 1926 North Shore Observing Holiday by Family Celebration Family Groups, Army and Navy Festivity Mark Thanksgiving By JEAN TEN BROECK The turkey and pumpkin pie season again follows custom and means for the north shore a period of family re- union. Many of the boys and girls whose schools are situated near enough their homes are returning for the short recess, some bringing with them room- mates and classmates whose families are too far away for them to join for Thanksgiving dinner. In many, many north shore homes, the usual large family groups gathered on Thursday, and many of our north shore families have gone off on short jaunts to as- semble with other relatives for the re- union time. The Army-Navy game and festivities on Friday and Saturday monopolize the thoughts of society at this immedi- ate time. Fathers and mothers, the younger married set, and attractive young daughters of north shore house- holds find the advent of the personnel of the Army-Navy academies interest- ing them either from the angle of spectator at the game, guest at the big Army-Navy balls, or both. We hear each day of many debutantes and sub- debs whom fortune has favored in this manner, and we do know that the representation from here is large. No large event in Chicago, in fact, is exclusive of north shore participants. Wedding Takes Place in Light of Candles A candlelight ceremony marked the marriage of Miss Katheryn Bowes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Bowes, Jr.,, of Evanston and Glencoe, to the Rev. Egbert Bailey Clark, Jr. son of Mrs. Egbert Bailey Clark of Hermosa Beach, Cal, on Tuesday eve- ning, November 16, at St. Mark's Episcopal church in Evanston at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Arthur Rogers officiated at the ceremony. The reception was given in the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Frederick M. Bowes at 714 Ash- land avenue, Wilmette. The bride's gown was of white chif- fon and bride's lace over flesh satin. The veil was pale flesh tulle embroid- ered with seed pearls and brilliants. Mrs. Sterling Maxwell of Hinsdale, as matron of honor wore flesh chiffon and silver lace. The bride's sister, Miss Mary Gertrude Bowes, who was maid of honor, wore pink chiffon and silver lace. Both dresses were trimmed with brilliants. Mrs. Hugh McCulloch of Evanston, and Mrs. Charles Stroule of Chicago, the bridesmaids, wore dresses of a deeper pink chiffon. James W. Prindiville of Winnetka, brother-in-law of Mr. Clark, served as best man, and the bride's brothers, Lawrence and William K. Bowes of San Francisco, and Dwight and Fred- erick Cossitt of La Grange, acted as ushers. Pink candles furnished the light for the wedding, and large baskets of pink roses and chrysanthemums, to- gether with greens, decorated the altar. The Rev. and Mrs. Clark left on a motor trip to Hermosa Beach, Cal, where they will make their future home. The North Shore Musical society yl have its next meeting on Monday, ovember 29, at the home of Mrs. 4 L.

Following the reception, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart gave a dinner for the assistants and their escorts and then took their guests to a performance of "She Couldn't Say No." Benefit Dance Postponed Due to the fact that the first of the Assembly parties is scheduled to take place Friday, December 10, the day chosen by the Vocational Society for Shut-Ins as the time for a benefit ball, and due to other conflicting dates and affairs, the ball announced last week has been postponed until after the first of the year. The holiday season is too busy a time, the committee decided to arrange a large and successful benefit ball, with the younger people coming home from schools far and near, and the debu- tantes giving their pre-announced dances.

Homecoming Xmas Dance for Young Folk December 23 Last year a benefit was conceived and given and called a Homecoming dance because it heralded the return of all the boys and girls from schools and colleges. Its success was marked, financially and socially, so much so that it has been requested this year. December 23 has been appointed as the day of another such affair when boys and girls of the north shore may gather for one evening to renew ac- quaintance with old friends and re- sume touch with north shore life which they may have lost while far distant. "The party will mean fun. An en- tertainment is being arranged that will be a jolly, musical treat, up-to-the min- ute in every respect," those in charge announce. "That means that the boys and girls will boost it. Although there will be a splendid orchestra, there will be several specialty numbers, so no one will have a chance to get over- tired, or bored. Remember the date, mothers of the north shore, and ar- range a dinner for the young people that night." War Veterans' Work "on Sale December 1 An all-day sale of many beautiful and useful articles made by the disabled ex-service men at the Great Lakes hospital will be held Wednesday, De- cember 1, at the Wilmette Woman's club. "Rugs, baskets, bags, scarfs and pottery, including articles made by men in our own unit, 31 West, will be on sale," the committee announces, and further states: "Do some of your Christmas shopping here, where may be found gifts differing from those in the crowded city stores. "This will be a good time for each club member to bring her donation of a book, records, playing cards, tray favors, patterns, and needles for hook- ed rugs to help carry on our work at the hospital."
