32 WINNETKA TALK April 16, 1927 Society's Activities Still Continue in Origin and Age of Arden Shore Camp Divulged in Resume By JEAN TEN BROECK Easter Sunday, in part significant for its joyous sacred music, its festive church services, its new spring fash- ions in colorful parade, in concluding the somber days of Lent brings to a society editor's desk a dirth of new news of widespread interest. The large affairs on the north shore during the next week or two are benefits, exhibits, and weddings already chron- icled. The interest of north shore people in Arden Shore never ceases, and from week to week new appeals and announcements find their way to the public. Now we have at hand a short notice of the origin of Arden Shore camp, no doubt unknown to many members of the association, as well as to the laity. How many people realize that Arden Shore summer camp for mothers and children origi- nated in Glencoe? It was founded in 1901 by Mrs. Leila Martin as the summer camp for the less fortunate people from Gads Hill settlement in Chicago. The camp occupied the land loaned it on the property known as the Lichstein prop- erty just north of the Lake Shore Country club. Women and girls from Glencoe and other suburbs gave their services to take care of the thirty members of the camp. In 1908 the camp moved up to its own property north of Lake Bluff. Now Arden Shore accommodates five-hundred persons at a time and vacations are given to twenty-three hundred mothers and children during the hot summer months. It has been estimated by a reliable authority that Arden Shore does the largest percentage of free charity work of any fresh air camp near Chi- cago. Those who enjoy its privileges are recommended by different social agencies, by the board of education, and the Chicago hospitals. The mothers, tired and worn with many cares, grow young again with their games and merry parties, but they also learn how to take intelligent care of their babies, to keep their homes clean, and give their children well cooked and nourishing food. Easter Monday Night Is Time of Benefit Dance The annual supper dance to be given by the St. Mary-of-the-Woods alumnae for the benefit of their en- dowment fund will take place Monday evening, April 18, at the Opera club. Mrs. John K. Hughes of Evanston, president of the Chicago chapter, is in charge of arrangements. Among the patrons and patronesses are Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Bichl, Mr. and Mrs. John Millen, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Seng, of Wilmette, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard D. Murphy of Glencoe.

Eighteen days for each camp con- tingent is the short term, and the camps are not run for profit.
