A number of members entertained guests at the dinner, among those from Winnetka being Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kudner, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schwartz and Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Barnum. Many other members formed the always popular Dutch treat tables and so were gathered into congenial groups.

The club's annual invitation tourney, the Stampede, will be held July 11.

Considerable construction and improve- ment work is in progress on the course with the prospect of having the course in splendid condition before the Fourth of July events.

This afternoon the wives of these hardy men engage in the peace- ful duty of pouring tea on board the "Port of Missing Men," the club ship of the Buccaneers' club in Wilmette harbor; the flags go up to the mast- heads, and the club is officially de- clared open for its eighth season. The board of governors are the hosts of the occasion. They are: Godfrey H. Atkin, president; Lincoln N. Hall, vice-president; Warren Crawford, treasurer; Charles Donaldson, secre- tary; Richard Bull, fleet captain, and Langdon Pearse, Arthur Sullivan, and Eugene Rummler, directors. The Caravel sank a few years ago, but she was raised and the club ap- pears to have overcome that misfor- tune and to be prospering by reason of its unique design and the oppor- tunity it affords to the members and their friends for indulgence in wvari- ous aquatic sports and the use of its unusually attractive cafe facilities on its cool decks during the hot sum- mer weather. The ship is a great favorite with the amateur photographer and it is said she is the most "snap-shotted" vessel in America. Catholic League Luncheon Will Be Given on June 19 The annual luncheon of the North Shore Catholic Woman's league will be held at the new Columbian Country club at Wheeling on Tuesday, June 19, at 12:30 o'clock. This luncheon had previously been announced 'as taking place on June 5, but the country club is just opening, in fact the league luncheon is to be the first entertain- ment of its kind to be held at the club, and it proved impossible to get things in readiness to permit the luncheon to be held as early as June 5. Following the luncheon there will be cards, bridge, five hundred and bunco, with unusually attractive prizes. Res- ervations should be sent immediately to Mrs. L. J. Hillman, 353 Park avenue, Glencoe, it is announced. The Columbian Country club is lo- cated on Milwaukee avenue, one mile north of Dundee road on the west side of the road. It is expected that the majority of the guests will drive their own cars but the Columbian motor bus will be able to meet those taking the North Shore Electric. This bus service will, of necessity, be limited, so any one wishing to avail herself of this means of transportation is asked to communicate with Mrs. Hillman as soon as possible. Mrs. William Schildgen of Evanston is president of the organization and Mrs. R. D. Hessey of Highland Park is program chairman. Mrs. I. J. Hill- man is luncheon chairman.
