Junior Membership Plans for Large Afternoon Bridge One phase of club activity that gains in interest and scope along the north shore, and which still is in its infancy, is that of junior membership, which offers a definite place in club life to daughters of members of federated woman's clubs. So far three organiza- tions of this kind have sprung into being in these villages, the Junior membership of the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette, and the Junior aux- iliaries of The Neighbors, the Kenil- worth Woman's club, and of the Woman's Library club of Glencoe. Tte first of these is to give an after- noon bridge, to which it invites all members of the - Mother club to be present and bring their guests. Arrangements for this, the only large bridge party of the Junior mem- bership season, is in complete charge of the young members, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Pahlman. Miss Olive Oelerich, social chair- man, has arranged for the prizes. Miss Stella Pahlman, president of the jun- iors, will be hostess. Assisting her will be Miss Estelle Englehart, Miss Clara Meter, Miss Vivianna Tarnow, and Miss Olive Oelerich. Mrs. Harry Barnum, 735 Walden road, gave a lecture on "Landscape Arrangement of the Small Garden" Friday, January 27, at the Woman's club of Joliet. Garden Club Tells How Winter Birds Enjoy Daily Food (Contributed by Wilmette Garden Club) The first cold snap of the winter came without warning and snow fol- lowed close upon it, hiding all the grass and weed-seeds that the birds have been feeding on during the fall. A telephone call to the butcher brought quick response in the shape of a generous chunk of beef suet. A piece of fine chicken wire fastened around a tree not too far from the house, formed an easily prepared and quite successful holder for the suet and the birds' restaurant was estab- lished. It should have been ready earlier in the season, and we feared that it might not be discovered very soon. ; However, within half an hour, a merry little fluff of gray and black flitted down from a tree-top and al- though too nervous and restless to stay long, the chickadee and his mate came back time and again until they had had a real meal. Before many moments passed, a white breasted nuthatch and his mate ank" came to try while the acrobatic little nuthatches worked away hanging head down. These little fellows showed a true sense of conservation that we human beings all too often lack. If their pecking at the suet broke off pieces too large, they repeatedly took such pieces, and, hunting up and down the tree trunk, found little niches into which they set the suet particles, tap- ping away at them until they were securely fastened in. Whether those caches of food are considered each bird's own private supply, or public property, we have not decided. Realizing that the birds as well as human beings must have their bal- anced diet, we next built a little feed- ing tray which we suspended from a wire stretched slantingly from the tree to an upper story window. By hang- ing the tray to a little pulley, we are able to pull it back to the window for re-filling. Regular cracked grains and bird seed seem to satisfy best, but scraps from the table, crumbs of bread, crackers, cake ground up with a few raisins or peanuts, fresh meat, apple cores, a little hard boiled egg, shell and all, bring many happy chirping little customers. One of the surprising things we have learned is the very apparent regularity with which the birds plan their "visits to the luncheon counter. Every day within about the same five minutes they come flitting down, hun- gry, and sure of a meal Just a word of warning to those who are feeding the birds. The very days when we are busiest and most concerned about keeping our homes and ourselves warm are the days when birds are coldest and hungriest. Hav- ing once established their confidence in us, we must not fail them when they need us the most. TO PLAN SISTERHOOD A meeting will be held Sunday morning, January 28, at 10:30, at the home of Mrs. Sylvan Hirschberg, 175 Hazel avenue, Glencoe, for all those young girls of the North Shore Con- gregation Israel of 16 years of age or older, who desire to start a junior sisterhood. -- Dr. Lois H. Meek on Club Program Chairman of National Nursery Schools Committee to Speak at Winnetka Woman's Club A speaker of national reputation and authority is to talk at the Win- netka Woman's club at its mid-winter luncheon, to be held Tuesday, Febru- ary 7, at 1 o'clock. This speaker is Dr. Lois Hayden Meek, executive di- rector of the American Association of University Women and also chairman of the National Nursery Schools com- mittee. Dr. Meek spoke at the Na- tional Child Study conferences last year, both in New York and Chicago, and was declared "a great speaker." The subject selected for her talk by Dr. Meek is "The Influence of Learn- ing on Character," a most timely and interesting one in this day of hectic discussion of education. Previous to the main address, Miss Marion Spach, director of the Win- netka Nursery school, and Mrs. Alfred Alschuler, staff director of this nursery school, will discuss "Our Nursery School, the. Beginning of Character Building." Feeling that the interest in both subjects and speakers would be wide- spread, the club has made the meeting an open one, to which guests may be invited. Mrs. Frank Crawford, chair- man of the social committee, will have charge of the luncheon. The entire program is under the direction of the education committee, of which. Mrs. S. George Levy is chairman. Woman's Society to Hear Noted Child Specialist Next Wednesday the Woman's so- ciety of the Winnetka Congregational church will meet in the Neighborhood room of the Community House at 10:30, for sewing. As there was only one meeting in January, owing to the annual church dinner, the society hopes every one will come out and help with the work. At 11:15 Dr. C. A. Aldrich, the child specialist, will speak on the subject, "Training the Child's Appetite." After luncheon there will be questions and a discus- sion on this important subject. Owing to the fact that Miss Isabel McCausland of Kobe college, Japan, is arriving in this country later than had been expected, it was necessary to postpone the plans previously an- nounced for the February 1 meeting. These will be carried out the second meeting of the month, February 15. In Recital Today Miss Marianne L. Putnam of 514 Birch street will present her pupils in recital this afternoon at 3:30, at the Evanston hotel. Those to play in the recital, all but four of whom are from Winnetka, are Mary Elizabeth Beld- ing, Sylvia Anderson, Marylyn Mec- Adams, Anna Banaco, William Beld- ing, Hiram Belding, Ruth Burchmore, Dorothy Nauman, Dana Jackson, Gu- ganne Rundall, Nancy Claire Parker, Marshall Hauser, Elizabeth Layer, Ruth Samuelson, Barbara Burchmore, Joan McAdams, Vera Anderson, Mar- caret Layer, Anita Johnson, Mildred Hemple, Joan Parker, Lotta Stern, . Betty Jane Bailey, Lila Johnson, Wil- liam Sellery, Blanche Fortle, and Thel- ma Rice Jackson,
