li December 1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 49 Camp Fire Sparks Camp Fire groups met as usual on Wednesday afternoon of last week in Community House. New girls are coming in each week. Camp Fire is for all girls, and all girls are invited. Any Winnetka girl wish- ing to join has only to see the Chair- man, Mrs. E. W. Wortley, at Com- munity House. Girls eleven years of age or over are eligible for member- ship. The program is for girls of eleven to sixteen years. It offers to every girl fun, an opportunity to be- come acquainted with the out-of-doors, and to grow in the skill of the things in the home, and in other useful ways. The girl's progress is marked by differ- ent ranks, and recognition of success- ful efforts is given through a system of honors. The girls work in small groups under a leader, or guardian. Another new group was formed last week with Mrs. H. A. Orvis as guar- dian. Mrs. Martin Cassell is the new guardian for the Oececa Group. Mrs. Philip Fisher's Litahni Group is getting ready for its Christmas giving. Mrs. Paul Hutchinson's new group, the Adkiya girls, met with her at her home on Wednesday afternoon for a happy social time. Miss Mildred Olson's Akiyuhapi group is planning its Christ- mas giving. Mrs. J. M. Winscott's and Miss Kathryn Adams' Otyokwa group met at Miss Adams' home Wednesday afternoon for a combination work and social time. The group cut out and began the work on some of the calico animals they are getting ready for Christmas. Several of the groups are planning to spend next Saturday out at the Izaak Walton cabin, north of the Dundee road, and are eagerly looking forward to the fun of lending a hand on the work on the cabin. They are anticipating many good times there when the building is completed. Miss Virginia Dunlap of Mrs. Fisher's Litahni group, who is working for her Torchbearer's rank, is leading a group of fifteen Blue-Birds, younger Camp Fire Girls, for the winter. This group gave a very successful party to the mothers of the girls, Friday afternoon, November 16th. A program of enter- tainment was put on entirely by the girls, and refreshments were served. RIMLESS WHITE GOLD Glaszes now most favored A great betterment in eyeglass design has taken place in recent years. Rimless glasses, in four styles of delicate, graceful design, feature fitting and youth en- hancing, have supplanted in public favor the heavy shell-rimmed glasses formerly worn. These rimless styles, the Puritan, Oval, Colo- nial and Leaf shape, come with inconspicuous white gold mountings. They are unobtrusive, they do not attract attention to themselves, hence to wear them is a principle of good taste. Compare your old glasses with these at any Almer Coe Store. There are now more than twenty styles.that you may choose from. Prices Range From $10 Up With Solid White Gold Mountings &Co Ame Cc?
