a Ct a 44 WINNETKA TALK November 3, 1928 Yule Lane Holiday Shops to Draw North Shore Residents Holiday Shops Open at Community House in Early December BY JEAN TEN BROECK However much one may consider this the late autumn season, one can- not forget that the Yuletide approaches. "Order your Christmas cards early," requests and advertisements in No- vember magazines keep its coming in mind. This week brings another reminder, an announcement of the Yule Lane Holiday Shops on De- cember 4 and 5, at Community House, Winnetka. Their raison d'etre is to add to the building fund for the new Winnetka Congregational church: "There are fifty-two days until Christmas, and we want you to be calm in the midst of 'Shop Early' slo- gans because we know that it will pay you to wait for the Yule Lane Holiday Shops. There will be things that you do not see in other shops, very lovely handmade articles that the women of Winnetka have been fashioning the past summer and interesting foreign things brought back by some of our travelers. There will be gifts to fit all requirements; elegant and luxuri- ous ones as well as the practical kind that are well liked because of their usefulness. "The Book shop, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Sherman Aldrich and Mrs. Austin D. Jenkins, is going to have a lovely selection of children's books. It will have Christmas cards, seals, and attractive wrapping papers for Christmas gifts. There will be scrap books, photograph holders, and an in- teresting little book of recipes for Sunday night suppers. Mrs, Aldrich will take orders for books for Christ- mas gifts. "Mrs. William J. Winscott and Mrs. Warren Agry are co-chairmen of the Children's shop which is going to cov- er the requirements of children all the way from 10 minutes to 10 years old. There will be knitted articles, rompers, dresses, eiderdown coverlets, stuffed animals, scrap-books, bibs, and pillows. Each member of this committee has donated five articles. Among the do- nations are two lovely hooked rugs for children's rooms. The dolls are having a shop to themselves under the direction of Mrs. Stephen Foster and Mrs. William Ayer McKinney. There are dolls with beds and wardrobe trunks and numer- ous changes of costume. There are baby dolls in bassinettes whose clothes are just like a real baby's. Then there are some very attractive French dolls brought home by Mrs. Foster who spent the summer abroad. There is to be a supply of auto-mascot dolls, so that no one will feel justified in pass- ing the Doll shop just because the chil- dren have grown up. "The Boudoir shop is under the di- rection of Mrs. Morris Wilson and Mrs. Edmund Bartlett. They special- ize in lovely silk things, pajamas, nightgowns, bed-jackets, and pillows. "Aprons and utilities will have the work of the Stitch-in-Time club under the direction of Mrs. David Lasier and Mrs. Dudley French. They will have attractive utility aprons as well as fancy aprons of all kinds, ironing board covers, clothes basket covers, pot holders, and shoe trees. "Mrs. Montague Ferry and Mrs. John Cadmus have the fancy boxes. Here is your opportunity to transform the old clothes closet into a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The deed is done with a small investment in the decorative boxes that are being offered in the Box shop. "Mrs. Lee Adams and Mrs. William Groene have charge of the Grab bags.
