24 WINNETKA TALK September 11, 1926 WEE EUR TUTTE UU LH ELL HIRI Vi 7 Women Voters Arrange for Conference nn National Board of Women Voters Will Meet in Winnetka By MARGERY WINDES Social times, dinners, teas and bridge parties have been omitted almost en- tirely from the program of the seven day session of the national board of the League of Women Voters, which will meet in the home of Mrs. William Gold Hibbard, 840 Willow road, Win- netka, during the week of September 13 to September 20. This energetic and internationally known group of women are planning an agendum brimming with organiza- tion plans, policies and the year's work ahead. Many of the members will travel from Europe, California, South Carolina and New York to attend this regular board meeting generally held in Washington, D. C. Every minute from 9 o'clock in the morning until well into the evening will be taken up. The sessions will be held in the squash court south of Mrs. Hibbard's home, with one side removed giving a charming view of the gardens. Individually these women who will meet in Winnetka, who have traveled from the two coasts, are doing most interesting things between meetings. Miss Belle Sherwin, national presi- dent, led the delegation of the National League of Women Voters to the In- ternational Suffrage association in Paris, France, this summer. The league was the only organization repre- sented from this country. Since this trip abroad, Miss Sherwin has been horseback riding through Glacier Na- tional Park. Miss Ruth Morgan, third vice presi- dent, New York City, is unable to at- tend the meetings. She is in Geneva, Switzerland, attending the League of Nations sessions. Miss Morgan is vice president of the International Suffrage organization, and is chairman of the committee to formulate a program for promoting friendly international feel- ing. The first two days of the session will be devoted to the questions of organi- zation and will be for the outsider the least interesting. These two days are vital to the league and are the neces- sary part of every board meeting. Miss Sherwin, the president, regional direc- tors and secretaries will be present these first two days. On Wednesday, it is expected that all the directors will arrive and the meeting be in full swing. Mrs. Frank Hixon, Sheridan road, Lake Forest, ic acting for Mrs. Hibbard, and will en- tertain Miss Sherwin, president, Miss Katherine Lundington, treasurer, Miss Julia Lathrop, counselor, Mrs. Caspar Whitney, director of the second region, and Miss Gladys Harrison, executive secretary, at her home during the seven days.

Those attending the conference ex- pect to take their evening dinner at the Indian Hill Golf club, where they will gather after a strenuous day, and rest before the evening meeting.

WO CI Woman's Club Garbed in Its New Raiment When the members of the Winnetka Woman's club go to their first meet- ing, they will find that the club has not been a place of inactivity during the summer months, for a long labor- ing and untiring committee has been accomplishing big changes and adding to the attractiveness of the rooms in the clubhouse. The largest piece of work is the re- decorating of the ballroom, which has not been changed since the making over of the clubhouse years ago when it became the property of the Woman's club. It is now transformed by a color scheme, ®f white and gold. The glaring side lights have been replaced bv electroliers with well-shaded bulbs. The artistic scheme, stencil drawings, and the rest, which will be left as a surprise for the members, is the work of Mr. Darling, representing Carson, Pirie, Scott and company. Through his efforts, and the untiring work of the committee, the ballroom has been made into a charming place for teas, receptions and dances, and already reservations are rapidly being made for the coming season. Much of the old furniture has been discarded from the rooms, and many pieces of fine workmanship will re- place it. Both the dressing rooms have been made over with bright hangings and new paint, and the women's dressing room has been decorated in a novel way. The bowling alley is now in first class condition. This repair work has been in the hands of the expert who is in charge of the Evanston Country club alleys. Reservations can be made now for dates to use the alleys, and Winnetka people are urged to take advantage of this excellent sport.
