30 WINNETKA TALK July 9, 1927 | Public Views Work of Arden Shore at By JEAN TEN BROECK Come to picnic day at Arden Shore | camp Friday, June 15. Bring your own picnic lunch and join other north shore | friends in partaking of the coffee the | { camp will serve in its large dining { room promptly at 12:30 o'clock. For | ' the pleasure and interest of those friends of the encampment who will accept this invitation sent out by the Arden Shore association, heads of the . there and describe its progress. -- i an outing there 'will be impressed by i the success and scope of its activity. The annual picnic is the time pro- pitious to visit the camp, and the local committee is urging a large Winnetka ~ attendance. Those who have not seen | . the camp for some time will realize at | : once how it has grown and how im- y : proved is this spot deep in a wooded _ stretch at the edge of a bluff overlook- ing a wide beach for the sole use of its . campers. Not many years ago those mothers and children brought to Arden Shore from Gads Hill, one of Chicago's settle- ment districts, for a fortnight's outing such as the camp gives, lived in tents. One by one cottages were erected until now, we are told, all who spend the summer there are in cottages. Five- hundred at a time, these mothers and - children come for their brief respite from tenement living, and in recent years a new phase of activity has de- veloped in the winter camp for under- nourished boys. But what Arden Shore means in the lives of those much less fortunate than ourselves can best be realized by a visit to the camp, a philanthropy the north shore's own.

Roy Martin of Cleveland, Ohio, before a gathering of old friends and relatives. The far end of the drawing room was banked with palms and wood- wardia ferns, and the mantel was exquisite with large vases of Pernet and Premier roses, arranged with blue larkspur and trailing white clematis, behind which white candles threw their reflection in a tall mirror. The wedding party consisted of Mrs. Calvin Smith (Miss Jeanette Reynolds) of Chicago, as matron of honor in a French pink chiffon gown; Miss Eliza- beth Hilton of Chicago, in orchid chif- fon; Russell Swiler of Cleveland, Ohio, and Robert Mann of Wilmette.

North Shore Invited to Arden Shore Picnic July 15 Lorna Doone Jaxon Soloist for Furst Musicale at Skokie Lorna Doone Jaxon, contralto of the Chicago Civic Opera company, will give the program at the first of this summer's Sunday afternoon musicales on Sunday, July 10, at 4:30 o'clock, at the Skokie Country club. Miss Jaxon has a mezzo-soprano voice of great range and exceedingly sweet quality, and critics have been lavish in the praise of her voice, her unusually attractive personality and beauty. Miss Jaxon has had ten weeks with the St. Louis Municipal Opera in 1922, concerts with the great Calve in Europe, re-engagements with the St. Louis Civic Opera, and she was soloist for three weeks with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1924. Among other successes have been engage- ments with the San Carlo Opera com- pany, the Chicago Civic Opera com- pany and concert tours through the States. Miss Jaxon is especially well known and praised for her role of Carmen in the opera of that name. The glorious mezzo quality of her voice, her stage sense and personal charm have made critics proclaim her Carmen as the best heard in many years. The great Madame Calve, probably the greatest Carmen who ever lived, encouraged Miss Jaxon as her most promising pupil for that role. The program Miss Jaxon has chosen for July 10, gives the audience an op- portunity to hear her in the many dif- ferent types of songs that she does so well. If the superlative press notices given Miss Jaxon in all her appear- ance in opera and concert work so far are a criterion, north shore residents are going to feel it a rare and particu- lar privilege to hear her. Engaged An engagement of recent announce- ment is that of Miss Jane Allen Naugle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archibald T. Naugle of Chicago, to Billings Mecher McArthur, son of Dr. and Mrs. Lewis I.. McArthur, also of Chicago. Miss Naugle attended Miss Spence's school in New York City, and is a member of the Junior league and Ser- vice club. She made her debut a year ago. Mr. McArthur graduated from Yale in 1925. The Naugles, formerly residents of Winnetka, are spending the summer here.
