28 WINNETKA TALK May 28, 1927 Country Club Affairs Start Society's Summer Gaiety Dinner Dances at Six Country Clubs Open New Season By JEAN TEN BROECK It is useless as each season brings the re-opening of our country clubs to resort to repetition and chronicle again what they stand for in the community. With one accord, Westmoreland, North Shore, Wilmette Golf club, In- dian Hill, Sunset Ridge, and Skokie have chosen dinner dances, formal and informal, for Saturday evening, May 28, as a fitting way in which to launch the new season. In small groups and in larger parties their members and guests are thronging to their doors not only for the evening but for all the Svea: that are celebrating Memorial ay. Three Boy Soloists on Choir Concert Program Many dinners are being planned by Winnetka parents preceding the the Christ Church Choir concert and dance, to be given at the Winnetka Woman's club, at 8:15 o'clock, Fri- day, June 3. The concert will be fol- owed by a dance, for which William Graf's best five-piece orchestra will furnish the music. The choir boys have been competing in preparing the best poster announc- ing the affair, which will be on exhibit in Rapp Brothers' window. The prize has been awarded to Scott Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll H. Thomas of 198 Forest avenue. Three boy soloists will take part in the concert preceding the dance. They will be Whitlock Duncan, son of the Arthur W. Duncans of 1314 Scott ave- nue, Edmund Frazer, son of Mr. and We notice each year that special Mrs, George E.
