RT 28 WINNETKA TALK February 26, 1927 Society Women Pretty Things Made by Shut-Ins to Be on Sale on March 8 By JEAN TEN BROECK The name, The Vocational Society of Shut-Ins, is almost self explanatory along the north shore. Our residents now know just what to expect when announcement comes concerning a sale of articles made by the little band of unfortunates in its care so anxious to establish a niche of their own in the world of wage earners. The society that is the medium of the Shut-Ins' contact with the outside world is ar- ranging another sale of their handi- work in Winnetka, Wednesday, March 9, at the home of Mrs. William Cowper Boyden, 725 Pine street, from 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. The information we have at our desk we will quote, as it will intrigue the interest of many shoppers who at this particular time of the year feel an urge to freshen their homes and their ward- robes. "A most successful sale was held just a year ago in Winnetka, at the home of Mrs. Ayres Boal, and it is hoped the one this season will be even more successful. "Each year we add to the loveli- ness of our stock and to its variety, with prices much lower than the same articles can be purchased anywhere. "This sale will offer unusually attrac- tive hooked rugs in wool and silk at very low cost; footstools and floor pil- lows in quaint, old fashioned designs; luscious hand quilted satin and taffeta pillows in all sizes and patterns; cheer- ful appliqued gingham and patchwork tuck-in pillows to go with early Amer- ican furniture; hand quilted chintz purses for the summer costume; all manner of fascinating embroidered lingerie sets in the most fascinating color combinations; cunning little fat pincushions, some with lace and French flowers, others with a wee crossstitch wreath of flowers; many new and un- usual linen luncheon and breakfast sets; laundry bags, handkerchiefs, hangers, dress bags and many, many more novelties. "Everything is made by the fingers of some Shut-In working happily with- in four walls in wheel chair or bed, life made brighter and a bit more bearable because of the contact with lovely materials, and the chance for pleasant occupation instead of sitting with fold- ed hands in some institution or work- ing on button holes in the endless monotony of factory work. "Surely you can find the lovely things you wish for wedding gifts for your own home, and help the Vo- cational Society for Shut-Ins increase its scope for greater good. "All Chicago charities are struggling with the problem of finding employ- ment for the handicapped persons. whom no one seems to wish to em: ; The need is terrific. and we are filling the need of the Shut-In handicapped." Mrs. James Waller Marshall, presi- dent of the society, and Mrs. Laird Bell, a member of the board of direc- tors, are working with the standing committee at the Chicago office in ar- ranging for the Winnetka sale. Assist- ing the standing ~ommittee, that has the monthly sales in charge, are Mrs. Stephen A. Foster, Mrs. Ayres Boal, Mrs. Edward K. Welles, Mrs. Norman Harris and Mrs. William C. Boyden, Jr., all of Winnetka. The Ash Street circle will meet on Tuesday, March 1, at 2:30 o'clock at 'the home of Mrs. Verne E. Hopkins, 915 Ash street. .
