84 WINNETKA "TALK March 3, 1928 North Shore to Participate in Garden and F lower Show Exhibit Four at Garden, Flower Show Open to All BY JEAN TEN BROECK The sight of a Kentucky cardinal caroling forth his message of "Cheer, cheer" from his lofty perch, and melt- ing snow trailing its wet way across sidewalks, diverting the eyes of a pedestrian with a touch of spring fever from too much tree gazing, tempts us to turn again and again to thoughts of gardening ard to the printed infor- mation that continues to come for Chicago's second annual Garden and Flower show. Today, at least, as w= write, anything pertaining to gardens has its intriguing appeal. Hundreds, too, on this north shore, find the gar- den and flower exhibition a topic of much discussion. In a newspaper office one Bass many things, one of which is causing a little misunderstanding as to entries in this second exhibition which will be held in the Hotel Sherman from March 24 to April 1. Some have in- ferred that the only amateur exhibitors may be garden clubs, but this mis- apprehension we hasten to rectify. A special section on arrangement, Sec- tion IV, is open to all, those outside of clubs, and those belonging to clubs. This exhibit is to be an arrangement of bud, branch or seed pods, or any other natural growth other than flow- ers. Any container may be used. Nothing artificial may be exhibited. Prizes will be awarded upon consid- eration of the following points: color harmony, relation of material to re- ceptacle, distinction, and perfection of arrangement. Further announcement we quote: "Several innovations have been put into the forthcoming garden and flow- er show. Garden decoration will be presented with sculpture by Chicago and Illinois artists, and by rustic bits which will include an exhibit from the Chicago schools of birdhouses. Mrs. Theron Colton of Chicago will have the birdhouse exhibit in charge. "Mrs. James H. Burdett is chairman of a committee of garden club mem- bers who will open and operate a tea garden during the nine days' showing. "An art salon is planned which will gather under one roof a collection of the best in flower and garden pictures and in outdoor decorative effects. This is in the hands of an art committee with Mrs. Edward Brion of Glencoe and Mrs. Johnston Bowman of Ev- anston as co-chairmen. "In addition to a comprehensive dis- play of life-size gardens, bits of forest preserve landscaping, cut flowers, flow- ering plants, and miniature models of houses with appropriate grounds, there will be exhibits featuring gardening from less familiar angles." The Wilmette Garden club, the Ken- ilworth Garden club, the Home and Garden club of Kenilworth, the Win- netka Garden club, and the Glencoe Garden club are those in our villages active in their preparation for partici- pation in the large exhibition which is put on by the Hotel Sherman Exposi- tion department and the Garden Club of Illinois. Plan Rummage Sale The Grove House board, of which Mrs. Heyliger deWindt is president, will make plans for its rummage sale ata meeting next Tuesday at the House. This is the first rummage sale in years, and it will be held in April or May, in Evanston. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ellsworth Bat- ten of 833 Foxdale avenue returned home Friday from a three weeks' trip to Florida and Cuba.

Auxiliary Card Party Adds to Church Fund The card party given Monday by the Young Women's auxiliary of the Win- netka Congregational church swelled considerably the fund that active group is raising for the new church building. The young women now have almost $700 of their $1000 goal, raised through this party and their December sale of children's things. Mrs. Heber Smith had charge of the party, which was held at Mrs. Marcus Richards', 1240 Tower road. Prizes were donated by several local mer- chants, including Marion Calkins, Eckart's Hardware shop, Hubbard Woods pharmacy, Hubbard Woods Hardware shop, Painted Butterfly, Miss Herbst, Duncan shop, Elsie Thal, Taylor's Hardware shop, and the three florists, Ilg, Edwards, and Borovicka.

Bryn Mawr Alumnae to Give Lecture Benefit Every year the alumnae of Bryn Mawr college gives a scholarship to a girl going to Bryn Mawr from their certain district. The district including Chicago and its suburbs has now three scholars at Bryn Mawr. Last year the committee brought Cornelia Otis Skin- ner to Winnetka. Her performance that night and her popularity since justified their efforts. This year on March 30, the Bryn Mawr Regional Scholarship committee is bringing Dr. Wilfred Osgood to Winnetka to speak on "Abyssinia and the Source of the Blue Nile." In 1927-28 Dr. Osgood was the leader of the Field Museum Abyssinnian expe- dition which covered nearly 2000 miles by caravan in one of the least known parts of the world. The lecture will be illustrated by slides and motion pictures taken by experts. It will be given in the new auditorium of the North Shore Coun- try Day school. Tickets may be purchased from any member of the committee: Mrs. John Reilly, chairman; Mrs. Gilbert Scrib- ner, treasurer; Mrs. Robert Brown, Mrs. Samuel Greeley, and Miss Harriot Houghteling.
