March 10, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 North Shore Group Women of Rotary Entertain Husbands The North Shore Group of the Women of Rotary, entertained their husbands at a dinner and bridge last Saturday evening. For the occasion, Mr. and Mrs. "Stan" Knight opened their attractive new Kenilworth home, and through their genuine hospitality added much to the pleasure of the occasion. This dinner to the "lesser eighths" has become an annual event with the North Shore Rotary Anns, and is keenly anticipated and appreciated by their husbands. Over forty men and women of Rotary were present. Dinner was served at a large horseshoe shaped table in the spacious dining room. The sumptuous meal was of "pot luck" origin. Every Rotarian did yeoman service, although possibly Fred Lippert and Jim Haynes won the gustatory honors, with President Van, although handicapped by a rigorous diet, run- ning a close second. At the conclusion of the dinner, Jim Haynes, as spokesman of the guests, presented Mrs. Knight with a beauti- ful basket of roses a la "Schneider." Bridge was the feature of the eve- ning's entertainment, and here the rivalry was keen. The guests of honor strove mightily to maintain their reputation, not alone in competition for the evening's prizes, but more par- ticularly to equal, or exceed the scores of their respective wives. Wives, Champeens Rumor has it that several failed in this respect, including "Burp" Burpee and Charlie Schwartz. The finesse displayed, both actual and figuratively, by many of the guests, was quite re- markable, and undoubtedly Mac Mec- Pharlin and Les Lawrence won the honors in this respect. When the scores were finally totaled it was found that Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Knight had won first prize, with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Schwartz, second. Clarence Meister and wife received third prize, while Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burpee received the consolation. Rarely has a more pleasant evening been enjoyed, and the fair hostesses well merited the compliments and ex- pressions of appreciation showered upon them. The North Shore Group of Women of Rotary is extremely active and ag- gressive, both in social and philan- thropic work. Starts New Camp Fire Group in Kenilworth Miss Estelle Farley of Kenilworth has established a new Camp Fire group in Kenilworth, which has chosen for its name, Ahoha-Hanta.
