BEI. 10 RE WINNETKA TALK August 6, 1927 Arden Shore Pageant Attracts North Shore Society Folk Cradle Maisonette Proves Successful During First Month The Cradle Maisonette of Evanston is this week completing its first month of existence, and its guardians are re- joicing over its progress, growth and success during the very first month of its experience. For anyone who steps into the pink-walled, black- floored tea house on Church street any day about one o'clock there is no doubt that the new tea house is an extremely active youngster. Miss Cecile Zukovsky, who has been man- aging the new enterprise, reports that on Monday of this week the Maison- ette served eighty-five, and on Tuesday eighty. Miss Zukovsky is a student at the University of Chicago and the daughter of Alexander Zukovsky who is playing at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony orchestra. Many north shore women and girls are among those who are acting as hostesses and waitresses at the Maisonette every week. Next week the schedule for hostesses include Mrs. Wheaton Augur of Kenilworth, Mrs. Charles Bosworth of Evanston, Mrs. Henry Dawes of Evanston and Mrs. Ralph Hubbart of Evanston. Among those who were present at the tea room Tuesday of this week were Mrs. Donald McPherson, Mrs. Charles Forman and Mrs. Elbert Gary Sut- cliffe of Winnetka. Other hostesses recently were Mrs. Willing D. Kirk of Glencoe and Mrs. Archibald Naugle, who is spending the summer in Win- netka. All the girls of the Junior League, of which Mrs. Frederick Ives is presi- dent, are helping the Maisonette and the Cradle by doing the serving, and those who have watched them carry soup and take orders say that they make very lovely waitresses indeed. Among the north shore girls who have been serving are Mrs. H. Mitchell Harper of Glencoe, Mrs. W. Hamilton Walter of Glencoe, Miss Marian Dawes of Glencoe, and Miss Martha White of Evanston, who is spending the summer in Winnetka. Mrs. Buck- ingham Chandler of Winnetka, Mrs. Horace W. Armstrong of Winnetka and Mrs. E. C. Kohlsaat of Winnetka are also interested in the work of the Maisonette. North shore women who patronize the Maisonette will also be interested in the announcement that it is to carry Taylor canned goods for which it will take orders on which it will receive a commission for the further benefit of the Cradle. Summer Dances Popular With Yacht Club Patrons Members of the Sheridan Shore Yacht club and their guests are look- ing forward to another month of the Friday night summer dances, which will be concluded with the one on September 2. Bert Rammelt and his yacht club orchestra have been play- mg for these dances, which have been held in the clubhouse. Members of the club are also look- ing ahead to the special feature race with an exchange of boats which is to be held August 13. This Saturday marks the conclusion of series B of the races. In Debut September 17 Miss Susan Burlingham of Winnet- ka, daughter of Mrs. Frederick W. Burlingham of 630 Maple street, will be formerly presented to society at a tea given by her aunt, Mrs. William C. Boyden, at her home at 725 Pine street, Winnetka, on Saturday, Sep- tember 17, from 4 to 7 o'clock. Midsummer Bride PHOTO BY REICK Miss Frances Rising, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Rising of Evanston, was married to Arthur Burnam Dur- ham of Kenilworth July 23 at the Westmoreland Country club. Garden Clubs Make Most of Beautiful Midsummer Weather This week has proved a busy one for north shore garden clubs, with two of them holding meetings and a third announcing plans for a flower show to be held later in the month. At the flower exhibit held at the meeting of the Winnetka Garden club Monday at the home of Mrs. William Boyden, 725 Pine street, Mrs. John Scott and Mrs. Robert Cluett won two first prizes each. Mrs. Donald Dallas won both a first and a second prize, and other prizes were awarded to Mrs. Rudolph Matz, Mrs. Roland Whitman, Mrs. William Boyden, Mrs. Douglas Flood and Mrs. Arthur Sullivan. Ten ribhons in all were awarded. There were four divisions of the exhibit--for mixed, yellow, pink and lavender flowers. The next meeting of the club will be held about the middle of Sep- tember. The Glencoe Garden club also held its regular meeting on Monday at the home of Mrs. James A. White, 1341 Tower road, Winnetka. The club held an informal discussion of gardens, in- spected Mrs. White's garden, and brought flowers to exhibit informally. The next meeting of the club will be the first Monday in September. The North Shore Garden club has announced that its annual flower show will be held August 20 and 21. Mrs. Charles A. Stonehill of Glencoe is to be in charge of arrangements for the affair. . Society Buds Principals in Twin Debut Next Month A Winnetka girl and a: former Win- netka girl will be presented formally to society in a joint debut on September 10 when Miss Virginia Wallace, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Wallace, and Miss Ashton Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Wilson, will make their bow at a tea at the Wallace home at 815 Mt. Pleasant road. After the tea, the young people will go to the Indian Hill Country club to dance. Miss Wilson and her parents are now residents of North Carolina, where they live in Fayetteville. Miss Wallace and her mother returned to Winnetka Thursday evening from the East, where they had been spending the first part of the summer. Make Plans to Welcome New Illinae Students The Chicago Illinae club will this year again continue its custom which it inaugurated several years ago of giving a tea in the fall in honor of the new girls who are entering the Uni- versity of Illinois for the first time. As in past years, the tea this year will be at the home of Mrs. Charles H. Dennis at 1225 Michigan avenue, Ev- anston, and the date has been set for Saturday, September 10. The tea will be held principally in the gardens of the Dennis home, which provides a very pretty setting for the first con- tact which the younger girls will have with their future Alma Mater. Miss Matia Leonard, dean of wom- en at the university, will come again to meet the new girls and to welcome them officially. Miss Helen Evans of Wilmette is temporarily in charge of arrangements for the tea. Last year about two hundred girls from Chi- cago and the vicinity attended the welcome tea will be given in their honor.

Leland Danforth in the Church of the Holy Comforter, Ken- ilworth.

"Hiawatha" Pageant Is Offering at Rest Camp Next Wednesday The "Hiawatha" of this year will succeed the "Little Boy Blue" of last year next Wednesday, August 10, as the annual pageant given by the mothers and children of Arden Shore camp for the officers and friends of the association. The pageant will be given Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the camp site, which is a mile north of Lake Bluff on Sheridan road. It is to take place out-of-doors on a beautiful spot near the lake. A general invita- tion is extended to all the friends of the camp to attend the pageant, which is the one performance during the year when the campers have an opportunity to show publicly their appreciation for what is done for them. Miss Reba Rosenthal, who has been in charge of the theatrical work at the camp for some time, will present her own dramatization of "Hiawatha." The musical accompaniments, which will be an important feature of the play, will be given by Miss Houck. Lyon and Healy are donating their tom-toms for the occasion, and the three princi- pal costumes will also probably be con- contributed. The campers themselves, together with the camp directors, will do the greatest part of the work in prepara- tion for the pageant. They will make their costumes from old clothes and pieces which have been given to the camp. The mothers will make their own head-dresses and the cradles for their "napooses," which their babies will be- come for the afternoon. The Indian council of the pageant will be nothing else than the members of "Boyville" all decked out to suit their tribal im- portance. Mrs. Rueter, one of the mothers, who was discovered to have a remarkably sweet voice, will be the outstanding individual performer among the campers, singing the Indian lullaby. Miss D. V. Smith, who is in charge of the organization machinery and gen- eral efficiency at the camp, is taking an active part in the supervision neces- sary to the production of the pageant. Immediately after the conclusion of the performance, the officers and town chairmen of the Arden Shore associa- tion will be hostesses at tea. Mrs. George Richardson of Lake Forest will be hostess, and she will be assisted by Miss Anna Belle Ferrier, camp direc- tor, and the chairmen for the various "towns, who are: Mrs. Lloyda Smith Shaw, Chicago; Mrs. Ernest Palmer, Evanston; Mrs. Leslie F. Gates, Wil- mette; Mrs. Mark W. Cresap, Kenil- worth; Mrs. Hubert E. Howard, Win- netka; Mrs. Henry Pierce Pope, Glen- coe; Mrs. Robert Finley Walker, Ra- vinia; Mrs. George Allen Mason, High- land Park; Mrs. John Kreutzberg, T.ake Bluff; and Mrs. George E. Van Hagen, Jr., Barrington. Each suburb, as is customary, is contributing its share of refreshments for the tea. In case of rain on Wednesday af- ternoon, it is announced, the pageant bai be postponed until the following ay. Mrs. C. I. Anthony of 684 Bluff road will be hostess at the next meeting of the Ladies Aid of the Glencoe Met[*- dist Episcopal church. This is to be held at 2 o'clock on Tuesday, August 9.
