32 WINNETKA TALK November 20, 1926 Arden Shore Military Ball Heralds Army-Navy Visitors Dinners for Cadets and Midshipmen to Begin Festivities By JEAN TEN BROECK Chicago, and by Chicago we include its outlying villages along the shore, is welcoming the advent of the Army- Navy game with a rush of hospitality that will center not only upon the two visiting teams, but upon the men from West Point and Annapolis who are coming for the annual combat fought for the first time this season in the Middle West. This much talked about event, one it seems most generally dis- cussed at present, makes the time propitious for the large Military ball at the Hotel Sherman Friday evening, November 26, which still holds the spotlight among the early winter events of most universal appeal to all of our villages. Now that plans for the Arden Shore Military ball are nearing completion, many of those interested in the event are turning their attention to the plan- ning of dinner parties preceding the ball, at which cadets and midshipmen will be guests. Miss Sarane Otis is in charge of arrangements for dinner parties for the Army, and Miss Rosemary Gallery for the Navy. Miss Otis will give a dinner party for twelve and will entertain her guests at the theater before taking them to the ball later in the evening. Miss Gallery is planning a dinner for fourteen in honor of her two cousins from Annapolis who are bringing their roommates and close friends to be guests at the dinner. : Miss Marion Dixon, Miss Paula Melius, Miss Pauline Wolff, Miss Betty Wood and others will be among the dinner hostesses entertaining in honor of the visitors from the Army and sJavy academies. Posters for the ball, designed and contributed by Harry Huesser, a tal- ented young Chicago artist, and exe- cuted in oil by Vincent Colby in a most unique style, are being distributed in Chicago and north shore towns and are exciting much favorable comment, we are told. Unusual in treatment, modern as well as artistic, they convey the idea of a military ball cleverly, for they give the impression of dancing wooden soldiers, sailors and girls. Miss Carolyn Case of Hubbard Woods has been active in the placing of these unique posters along the north shore. Mrs. Arthur Farwell Tuttle of Lake Forest, formerly of Winnetka, is presi- dent of the Arden Shore association, while Mrs. Lloyda Smith Shaw is the chairman of the Chicago committee which is giving the ball. At Parties for Queen Those residents of Winnetka who at- tended the reception for Queen Marie of Roumania last Saturday evening at the Drake hotel were Mr. and Mrs. Rush Butler, Mr. and Mrs. Victor El- ting and Mr. and Mrs. John Ven- nema. The Vennemas were guests at the luncheon for the Queen at the Union League club on Tuesday last. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Strong of 1377 Tower road, who returned Wednesday, November 10, from an extended trip through Europe, were among the mem- bers of the executive committee to wel- come Queen Marie and were included in the dinner given by the committee at the Casino Monday night. Take Part in Silver Wedding Ceremony DuBois Photo A large event of the autumn season was the recent twenty-fifth wedding anniversary celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Wendelin P. Seng of Wilmette by a church service in the morning and a dinner-dance in the evening. With the exception of the four ushers, who are not pictured here, Mr. and Mrs. Seng's children composed their wedding party. The "bride and groom" returned to the place of their marriage on their second honeymoon. Places Ball Posters Miss Carolyn Case, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Case of 160 Sheri- dan road, Hubbard Woods, and one of the future debutantes of this winter season, is busily engaged in distributing posters announcing the Arden Shore ball. Miss Case has the Winnetka, Glencoe and Hubbard Woods territory to see to as well as tickets to sell. Any- one interested in buying these tickets for the ball which will take place No- vember 26, at the Hotel Sherman, are asked to call Miss Case at Glen- coe 132. : Miss Case, whose debut tea will be given by her parents on Saturday, De- cember 11, from 3 until 6 o'clock, in their home, will be hostess to her friends at a dance at the Drake on De- cember 22. Circle Hostess Mrs. John Marshall of 112 Green Bay road, formerly chairman of the Pine Street circle, entertained its mem- bers on Friday of lust week in her new home. A delightful program was giv- en, which consisted of a group of songs by Mrs. Edwin Bluthardt of Kenil- worth, accompanied on the piano by her daughter, Miss Bluthardt, and a talk by the Rev. L. G. McAfee, Epis- copal missionary from the Philippine Islands, who is on furlough. Mr. Mc- Afee illustrated his talk on "Life in the Philippines" by wearing different native costumes of the people.

The streets of the village, as laid out in the gymnasium. will be gay with shops of every description--the "Bowl and Jug Shop" with its bright colored pottery; the "Bit 'o Brass" Shop; the Junk Shop, with an interesting display of antiques, curios, odds and ends, and anything unusual; the "Ready to Use" shop, where everything from beads to pot holders will be sold--these are a few of the Village shops. In addition to the shops there is to be an encampment of gypsy fortune tellers, a fascinating Puppet show, a magic train for the children and a Plantation tea room, complete with minstrels, pancakes and coffee. A card party room, with prizes for each table, and a well polished dime dance floor have also been added to the list of attractions which promise to make the bazaar an extremely popular one. Miss Laura Hooper is chairman of the Greenwich Village bazaar, the pro- ceeds of which are to be turned over to the building and equipment fund of the college. Entertain for Bride Miss Alice Catherine Mills of Glen- coe entertained Thursday at a lunch- eon, bridge, and handkerchief shower in honor of Miss Margaret Orde, whose marriage to Brownell Bradstreet is to take place on Wednesday, Novem- ber 24. Eight school friends of Miss Orde were present at Miss Ruth Mills' luncheon, bridge, and lingerie shower given Monday in honor of Miss Orde at the Mills home, 790 Sheridan road, Glencoe. League Ball Success The startling black and white chari- ty ball given by the Junior League of Evanston, Monday night, November 15, proves beyond doubt the ability of the league, under the able direction of the general chairman, Miss Marian Dawes of 187 Hazel avenue, Glencoe, and her assistants and committee chairmen, to manage a large affair in an efficient and pleasing way. The decorations were very effective. Black and white streamers were hung from the balcony and held by clusters of white balloons. Miss Marian Dawes, general chair- man, wore a Spanish Infanta costume of black taffeta and silver, exceeding- ly graceful and unique. There were many costumes of unusual charm and taste, ranging from nautch girl to pierrot costumes. The proceeds from the ball will go toward the work of the Psychology clinic of Evanston. Mr. and Mrs. George Parker of 200 Linden street and Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam D. Truesdale of 570 Arbor Vitae road have issued invitations for a dance to be given in honor of their daughters, Elizabeth Parker and Lois Truesdale, to be given the evening of December 27, at the Winnetka Wom- an's club. = A OR 5
