WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 9 CLUB PROGRAMS FOR NEXT SEASON ARE IN THE MAKING Conference Meets to Select Best of Program Material OO: timely interest, during the Iull in the activities of the local clubs, , and during the season when next years programs are uppermost in the minds of the new officers, is the account of the conference of club presidents and program chairmen which is meeting every Thursday morning during this month in Recital hall, Fine Arts building. At these Thursday morning sessions each artist desiring to appear before the wom- en's clubs of Chicago and vicinity is given a few minutes to set forth his message or to demonstrate his talent. Names, dates, terms and questions of importance to the clubs represented are discussed, Many of the programs heard at ig Jig Joliet to Waukegan are sults of these h i Thursday morning Seven years ago, Mrs. Charles 8. Clark, of Beverly Hills, founded this organization, unique not only among women, but among men, for its mem- bers call attention to it "as the only one of ts kind in the world," and as Its president from the first, she has di- rected it into a very strong organization composed of the presidents, the program chairmen and the heads of each de- partment of 125 clubs. At this conference, which meets the third Thursday of each month from Oc- tober until April, and weekly through- out April and May, many artists appear and are eliminated, and the program makers learn exactly what they can offer their club members, The artists, too are thus able to make their own plans for the season. It would be almost im- possible to estimate the influence this conference has, for jt -touches the lives of thousands of club women. It sets a very high standard for its own pro- grams, the greatest interest is shown in securing the very best of program ma- terial and part of its policy is to bring the weight of its influence to bear on movements that tend toward cultural moral and spiritual development of the community, One of the programs for next season, which plays an important role in a movement of Americanization and which, for this reason, is of especial pride to the conference, is, "The Mak- ing .of . America® Dian Shailer Mathews, Professor J. Paul Goode and Professor William FE. Dodd of the Uni- versity of Chicago, * Professor William James of Northwestern university, Horace Bridges, Heinrich Maurer of Lewis stitute, John Vennema, consul general for the Netherlands, Countess Lisi Cipriani, and Jens Jensen are among the speakers on this program. The Fundamentals of American Cul- ture" is another program, with eleven persons of prominence listed as inter- preters of this thought who will be available as next season's speakers.

Pattison Kline (of Wil- mette) recording secretary; Mrs. J. Marc Fowler, corresponding secretary ; Mrs. 1. E. Armstrong, treasurer. Ravinia Club Members Busy Selling Books OR ten years or more Mr. Eck- stein has felt that the apprecia- . tion of real music has its begin- ning in the home, and he has felt, it 1s said, that if Ravinia were to ac- complish the purpose to which it was dedicated, "it must be more than a private enterprise, it must belong to the people and be a factor in com- munity life." In order that this in- terest and appreciation might be in- stilled into the community by the wives and mothers through their fam- ilies, Ravinia club, comprising 200 women on the north shore from Ev- anston to Waukegan, sprang into be- ing. Through these members the value of Ravinia, sponsoring as it does the best in music for children as well as adults, has spread throughout the community at large. Interest in the success of the com- ing season was awakened at the club luncheon given recently by Mr. Eck- stein at the Moraine hotel in High- land Park to the officers of the north shore and the members of their com- mittees, at which he gave a "behind the scenes view" of what must be done in preparation for a Ravinia season of concert and opera. Stirred into enthusiasm, the chair- men immediately started action and teas and meetings for the officers and workers have been given in each vil- lage prior to the sale of books of admission tickets, now going on. Mrs. A. W. Levy, chairman; Mrs. Perry L. Smithers, vice chairman and secretary; Mrs. Blanche Wanner, 2nd vice chairman, are those directing the work in Wilmette. Miss Isabel Cline is the Kenilworth chairman, assisted by a committee of fifteen. Mrs. Ar- thur Dean is chairman of the Win- netka branch, with Mrs. Archibald Shaw, vice chairman; Mrs. John Ven- nema, 2nd vice chairman, and Mrs. Charles F. Sargent, secretary. In Hub- bard Woods Mrs. Lewis Williams, chairman, and Mrs. Warren Shoe- maker, assistant chairman, head a committee of eight; Mrs. Oscar J. West, chairman; Mrs. Harold E. Fore- man, vice chairman, and Miss D'Arcy Orde, secretary, are directing the work of the club in Glencoe. The entire north shore organization is under the direction of: Mrs. Ralph Poole, president; Mrs. Frank R. Greene, Miss Caroline Kirkland, Mrs. George Lytton and Mrs. William Sutherland, vice presidents; Mrs. Ar- thur Byfield, recording secretary; Mrs. George Parker, corresponding secre- tary; Miss Juliette Brown, treasurer. Mrs. William Sutherland heads the children's day committee. Elaborate Plans for New Home of W. A. C. HE, Illinois Women's Athletic club includes in its membership list many north shore women, many of whom will be engaged from now un- til June 15 in the drive for more mem- bers which commenced on Monday.
