3 EC -- WINNETKA TALK April 9, 1927 I 5H (1 News of the North Shore Clubs Woman's Club Plans for Spring Luncheon Annual Luncheon and Meeting to Be Held Tuesday, April 19; Program in Afternoon The Winnetka Woman's club will hold its annual luncheon and meeting Tuesday, April 19. A program will be given at 3. Reservations are to be made with Mrs. Marcus D. Richards, Winnetka 498, by noon on Sunday, April 17, it is announced. Hostesses will be Mrs. William C. Agry, Mrs. John H. Cadmus, Mrs. Morton Cahn, Mrs. S. Edwin Earle, Mrs. Irving Odell, Mrs. James Austin Richards, Mrs. Marcus D. Richards, and Mrs. Gilbert H. Scribner, Jr. Members and guests of the Winnet- ka Woman's club had a rare treat on April 5, in the entertaining talk given by Mrs. Margaret Calkins Banning of Duluth. Mrs. Banning was brought to the club through the efforts of her college classmate, Mrs. George S. Levy, chair- man of the education committee, who introduced her as a successful writer and as a woman who is combining a home and a career as well as taking active part in her community. Mrs. Banning used as her subject, "Shall We Join the Gentlemen?" In speaking of the outside interest of the married woman, she did not confusé the woman, who for economic reasons, was compelled to combine a business and domestic career, but referred only to the upper middle class that has time for discontent in the home; those women who are confident that they can run a tea shop, art studio, or book store, and more often fail because in no way are they prepared for the ven- ture. Mrs. Banning feels that part time jobs are rarely successful, but that a woman who has reared her family, and one who before marriage was a success in her chosen line of endeavor, might again go back into the world of industry or art with marked success. This is, of course, the very exceptional woman. Often some work may be done in the home, but only by a great amount of regu- lation in that home which makes it a doubtful sideline. A woman who can write, play, paint or sing: should focus her time on her ~ talent and make that particular talent all absorbing, Mrs. Banning advocated. She quoted a teacher of writing who said that "Most women want to write, but won't stop to learn how to write. They have no patience." Like most good mothers, Mrs. Ban- ning believes that the training of chil- dren is the most interesting and sat- isfactory thing in the world, but that a mother need not sit all morning in the schoolroom to watch her child being taught by a young woman much more competent to teach than the mother could ever be, nor should she spend valuable time in talking about her children when she should be doing for them. The speaker touched upon the great game of politics and of clubs for wo- men, showing much that was worth while in both, and above all advised clubs to entertain their audiences mm ways suited to the people and not force upon them that which they do not want. Young women are to be desired in charity work, Mrs. Banning believes. The older ones have done it so long they are weary. There is something Plant Now for Flower Booth Guild Urging Mrs. Laurence Janney of 657 Spruce street, Winnetka, will be hostess to the Winnetka Garden club April 21. Mrs. Austin Angell will speak on "Flower Arrangement" and plans will be dis- cussed for the garden market. Mrs. C. Colton Daughaday of 180 Chestnut street attended the meeting last Friday of the Chicago of the Plant, Fruit and Flower guild. Arrangements were made for the summer work of the guild. Winnetka will be responsible for supplying flowers every other Fri- day during the summer. The guild urges that flowers be planted now for this, and says that gladioli have been found the most practical for this pur- pose. The club will be addressed on May 17, by Mrs. Francis King, who has written many books on gardening. She will speak on tulips and lilacs. Mrs. James Prindiville of 151 Euclid avenue and' Mrs. C. D. Dallas of 1124 Pine street have charge of tickets for the lecture. Audience Enthuses Over Concert by Wallenstein BY CRITIC A large enthusiastic audience greet- ed Alfred Wallenstein, cellist, as he ap- peared at the Kenilworth Assembly hall Sunday afternoon, April 3, to give the last program of the association for the season. Mr. Wallenstein was in wonderful form and his accompaniments were charmingly played by Virginia Wilson (Mrs. Wallenstein). In response to most hearty applause, Mr. Wallenstein played two encores after the second and last group, "The Bird" by Cassado and "Habenera" by Ravel. The last number on the program he changed to a selection in C Minor by Boulanger. After the concert tea was served to members of the association and their guests. Need Articles for Camp The Arden Shore association will be glad to get any articles discarded in spring cleaning or any lying unused in attics.

MUSIC CLUB MEETS MONDAY The Winnetka Music club will have an ultra-modern European program Monday at 3, when it meets at the home of Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey, 747 Lincoln avenue. wrong in our social service work, she stated. We do not do now what we did in 1912, but go in for individual careers. If we have freed ourselves, freedom carries responsibilities to be met, and after all every individual must figure out her own case in re- lation to self, health, and business. Mrs. Banning added, "Please do not copy vour neighbor or friend, but find your own place in a changing world and adjust yourself to the lovely busi- ness of living." Mrs. William Elliott, chairman of the revisions committee, read the pro- posed changes to the by-laws. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Charles H. Barker, Mrs. Arthur J. Boynton, Mrs. Melville C. Chatten, Mrs. A. Montague Ferry, Mrs. Frank D. Fulton and Mrs. Paul Hutchinson. At T he Neighbors The Neighbors held a Garden day meeting Tuesday afternoon, April 5.

Mrs. Charles Dubsky of Kenilworth read a very interesting re- port of the morning session of the Tenth district meeting of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, which was held March 31, at the Edgewater Beach hotel. This was the annual meeting and Mrs. Dubsky gave reports of the officers and chairmen. Mrs. Charles D. Howe, delegate for the afternoon session, gave another delightful report of the afternoon ac- tivities when the more social part of the program was held.

The program will be given by Miss Flor- ence Longwood, who will sing. The lecturer of the meeting Tues- day was Arthur C. Pillsbury, who gave an intensely interesting lecture on "Life Secrets of Wild Flowers." He showed motion pictures of flowers budding into full bloom, running off in thirty-five minutes the films that had taken him a week to photograph, taking a picture every fifteen minutes. He showed. the growth of the thistle and dandelion and made such common- place flowers most interesting. Among other interesting things he mentioned that flowers that open late in the afternoon and evening are always white or yellow so the night moths. can distinguish them easily.
