AEE ----r ci A Pa Wr rene WINNETKA TALK October 27, 1928 SH ERR News of the North Shore Clubs Yule Lane Holiday Shops Open Dec. 4 Thirty-Eight Days Are Busy Ones for Shops, Managers, Chairmen By l. B. B. There are shops that make you foolish; There are shops that make you sad; There are also shops that please you, Shops whose service make you glad. There ore shops that make you feel in Till their prices moderate your glee, But the shops to make you smile all over Are the Holiday Shops, you'll see. There are only fifty-nine days until Christmas, but don't do your shopping too early. It is safe to wait at least thirty-eight days until the Yule Lane Holiday Shops open in Community House on Tuesday, December 4, at 1:30, continuing through Wednes- day evening. At this time one may be able to solve every gift problem easily and economically. At a recent meet- ing of the various chairmen, it was learned that many Winnetka women have been busy all summer fashioning exquisite and unusual articles while others, who have spent the summer abroad, have collected many interest- ing objects for the Shops. And the men--but what they are doing is to be announced later. Following is a list of the Yule Lane Shops and their managers: Arts and Crafts, by Winnetka men-- Dr. James O. Ely.

Art of Needlework Explained at Talk at the Woman's Club On Wednesday morning, October 24, the third of the series of six lectures on the "Art and Science of Homemak- ing" was given at the Winnetka Wom- an's club. Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, chair- man of the Arts and Literature com- mittee, introduced the speaker, Mrs. M. I. Perkins, who is a foreign buyer for Marshall Field and Company and at the head of its art needlework de- partment, Mrs. Perkins has made an intensive study of needlework at home and in European countries for many vears and was unusually well qualifiied to speak with authority on her subject, "At the Point of the Needle." She brought with her a large assortment of handwork which she exhibited, answer- ing questions, explaining the methods required in making the different kinds and the approximate cost. Mrs. Perkins opened her talk by ask- ing, "Why have we not done more needlework?" She said there were many reasons, but the principal one was that everyone felt that she had not much time to spend on it. She showed some Cluny tapestries and ex- plained with what difficulty their de- signs are obtained since no one is al- lowed to sketch in a European mu- seum. The artist must study the tap- estry there, then strive to reproduce the design elsewhere. She also brought beaded centerpieces, sweaters, bed spreads, towels, afghans and hook rugs, with samples of the newest ones, the clipped hook rugs. Mrs. Perkins had a most interested and appreciative audience to whom she gave many valuable ideas for needle- work of all kinds that could easily be done at home at a nominal cost. Tenth District Juniors to Have a Gala Dinner The juniors of the Tenth district, Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, will have a gala dinner party Monday evening, October 29, at 7 'o'clock, at the Rogers Park Woman's club house, corner of Ashland and Estes avenues.

Gradle, Tenth Dis- trict president, will be present.
