Surprise Awaiting the Woman's Club Luncheon, Program, and Surprise in Store for Winnetka Woman's Club Next Tuesday (Contributed) Yes, we know that fairies have been at work in our gardens for several weeks past, but just where were they erstwhile? The answer is whispered, "Over in the Winnetka Women's club!" We want to rush there at once and discover what further miracles have been wrought but we are met with a stern refusal, "for," we are told, "it must be a surprise and the bandages may not be lifted from your eyes before October 2." Very well, we rush to the neighbors --have they seen, have they heard? "Well, beautiful flashes of color weirdly have hovered about the door- way now and then after mysterious packages have been given entrance and--yes--there has been heard the faint, distant sound of a hammer--but that is all." Can we wait! October 2, however, will hold more than that one delight for it inaugurates the club's winter program with cus- tomary autumn luncheon and yet an- other rare treat. Following the lunch- eon with its happy atmosphere of re- union and the exercise of that first requisite of true femininity, the art and literature department of which Mrs. E. V. L. Brown is chairman, will pre- sent Miss Jessie Harding who will en- tertain the members with a group of sketches. Of the artist, it is said: "Miss Hard- ing is recognized as one of the best teachers of the human voice in the country. Previous to the opening two years ago of her studio in the Fine Arts building, Miss Harding was as- sociated with the Anna Morgan School of Expression. One of her programs, "The Man Without a Country," has had more than three hundred presenta- tions. : The day will indeed be full of rare treats. Can we wait!
