fri ir Re 32 WINNETKA TALK July 14, 1928 Summer Lull Women Golfers Find July Month of Rest on Club Schedules By JEAN TEN BROECK A quiescent spell hovers over social life on the north shore at present and what activity there seems to be eman- ates from the usual summer sources, golf clubs, Ravinia opera, and beach and yacht clubs. This<week we turn to the first of these to glean what we can of golf plans for women members, as this is one phase of country club life that weekly attracts feminine players who come for their game of golf, fol- lowing, for a day, a white ball, small in size but with such a big influence on one's disposition, or, concluding a morning's exercise with luncheon and an informal game of bridge in the afternoon. The long quoted phrase about mice, men and their plans, has held true this summer, and we find, as we in- quire along the shore for golf news, that the disarranging factors have been first the rain, and then the heat. July seems to be somewhat of a recess month coming between the first opening events of the season and the larger matches arranged for August. Next Tuesday will be guest day at the North Shore Golf club where the last of the June tournament is being completed and the July match is un- derway. Flag day was the event Tuesday of this week. Every fort- night an approaching and putting con- test is held which is continued throughout the season. The August calendar is to include several import- ant events. Westmoreland club makes a special place in its summer golf arrangements for juniors. Each Thursday is given over to these girls who have their morning lesson followed by nine hole matches. The round robin tourna- ment for women is now in sway and Friday of last week brought regular Guest day. The June tournament was completed at Westmoreland with Mrs. William Drexmit of Chicago winner of the first flight, and Mrs. Walter Vanlandingham of Wilmette, winner of the second. : Tuesday, July 24, has been set aside on the Wilmette Golf club schedule of events for a costume party, which will be, as are the other weekly events for women, an all-day affair. Mrs. Tom Hughes was the winner of the June trophy, with Mrs. Frank Douglas run- ner-up. At Indian Hill a member and guest tournament will be held next Wednes- day and the last week in July the match will be decided on the best score on 18 holes and one-half handicap. A flag tournament was the event Wed- nesday, and on July 12, the mixed four- some match was followed by supper at the club. July at Sunset Ridge is marked by the monthly tournament. There will be match play every Tuesday. A mixed foursome match on Sunday, July 22, will be a special event and on July 24, the women members will have their Guest day. h 'Friday, July 13, is Black Cat day at Skokie, and July 27 will be the an- nual Skokie Guest day with luncheon at noon. Two mixed foursome events are on the July calendar with supper follow- ing in both instances. The first of these affairs was last Thursday and the other is to come later in the month. Now Settling Over North Shore Society Late June Bride Photo by Koehne Before her marriage, Saturday, June 30, which was one of the large society weddings of the season, Mrs. Albert Keep was Miss Isabel Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick H. Scott of Hubbard Woods. After returning from their wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Keep will go to Charlevoix for the re- mainder of the summer and in Sep- tember they will take up residence in Sheffield, Mass. Eloise Arms Is to Marry Norman Clark August 11 One of the brides of midsummer is to be Miss Eloise Elizabeth Arms, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Arms, formerly of Wilmette, and now of Evanston. Her marriage to Nor- man Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter T. Clark of Evanston, is to take place Saturday evening, August 11. Both the 8:30 o'clock ceremony and the reception following will take place at the Evanston Country club. The members of the wedding party have been chosen. A cousin of Miss Arms, Mrs. Charles Hood of Detroit, will be matron of honor. Mrs. Alvin Bowe of Minneapolis (Marion Man- nerud), and Miss Elizabeth Pond, Miss Kathryn Merrill and Miss Virginia Davis, of Evanston, will be brides- maids. Warren Clark of Milwaukee, broth- er of the bridegroom-elect, will act as best man, and Armin Kuehmsted of Hinsdale, Charles Hood of Wilmette, John Keelin of Chicago, and James Snydacker of Kenilworth will serve as ushers. Already one affair has been given in honor of Miss Arms. Friday of last week Mrs. Ransom Sherman of Win- netka was hostess at a luncheon and miscellaneous shower. At Sunset Ridge Sunset Ridge has two social events on its mid-July calendar. This eve- ning is the occasion of a Saturday dinner dance and tomorrow a buffet supper will be served. The women's bridge luncheon was held Friday of this week, but hereafter will take place on Wednesdays, as usual. Mrs. I. B. Connor of 1151 Hampton- dale road entertained Wednesday af- ternoon at luncheon and bridge for Mrs. Tilden Hoskins who is visiting her sister, Mrs. John McKeown of Chicago. July 27 Is Annual Picnic Day at Arden Shore Camp The annual Arden Shore picnic day has been set for Friday, July 27. It is a day to which the public is invited, for it offers an opportunity to friends of the camp to see for themselves, as well as to hear of, the work done dur- ing the summer encampment period. Visitors are asked to take their own box lunches and coffee is served at the camp. During the luncheon hour in a large screened cottage, those in charge tell of the work done and in the after- noon the guests see an entertainment given by members of the camp dem- onstrating the activity among children. One of the aims of the Arden Shore association is to develop native talent among the campers and recently a de- lightful dance was given by a young Italian woman who went through the intricate steps with a pitcher of water on her head. Another interesting bit of Arden Shore life this season is in the Siddall cottage for elderly women, where are ensconced three grandmothers, one German, one Italian, and one Irish, whose love for the country of their birth brings about a strong interna- tional feeling which is overpowered by their loyalty to America, their coun- try by adoption. Entertain Park Ridge Girls at Ravinia The Ravinia Opera committee of Winnetka and Hubbard Woods enter- tained forty girls from the Park Ridge school, July 5, at Ravinia. The girls and two teachers were called for in cars, and at Ravinia they were served a picnic lunch. The women who drove cars were: Mrs. Chester Sargent, Mrs. Roland Whitman, Mrs. George Parker, Mrs. William Truesdale, Mrs. Devroe Get- man, Mrs. John Desmond, Mrs. Charles Burkhardt and Mrs. J.

About one hundred guests attended the 4 o'clock ceremony and the supper fol- lowing. The bridal procession formed at the rear of the cabin and proceeded through the pines and evergreens io the edge of Lake Leelanau where Dr. J. W. F. Davies read the service. The ivory satin wedding gown of her mother was worn by the bride and a cap of lace held the tulle veil in place. The maid and matron of honor, Miss Louise von Hofsten and Mrs. Law- rence Norem (Carolyn Case) were dressed in frocks of lavender chiffon and the bridesmaids, Mrs. Richard Buck, Jr., of Columbus, Mrs. George Northrup Simpson and Miss Anne Smith, of Chicago, were in dresses of yellow chiffon.
