" 2 WINNETKA TALK April 16, 1927 Al News of the North Shore Clubs Mrs. V. K. Spicer Is Next Club Speaker Charming Lecturer and Experienced Gardener on Annual Luncheon Program April 19 The Winnetka Woman's club will hold its annual luncheon Tuesday, April 19, at 1 o'clock. Following the luncheon, Mrs. V. K. Spicer of Kenil- worth will speak on "The Spring Gar- den." This mere announcement is almost sufficient, as Mrs: Spicer is ex- tensively known for her charm and versatility. She was a frequent con- tributor to the Tribune "Line o' Type" under the late B. L. T. A book of poems, "Songs of the Skokie," also stands to her credit. But it is, per- haps, as a gardener that Mrs. Spicer is known best, not merely as a delightful lecturer and theorist, but as a practi- cal wielder of the trowel. Mrs. Spic- er's small garden is a gem and the envy of all beholders. It is hoped that Mrs. Spicer will impart to the rest of us some of her magic touch. Reservations for the luncheon are to be made with Mrs. Marcus D. Rich- ards, Winnetka 498, by noon Sunday, April 17. The luncheon hostesses will be Mrs. William C. Agry, Mrs. John H. Cadmus, Mrs. Morton Cahn, Mrs. S. Edwin Earle, Mrs. Irving Odell, Mrs. James Austin Richards, Mrs. Marcus D. Richards, and Mrs. Gilbert H. Scribner, Jr. The following ticket will be present- ed by the club's committee on nomi- nations : Mrs. Arthur W. Cushman, for pres- ident; Mrs. Carl H. Zeiss, first vice president; Mrs. Taliaferro Milton, second vice president; Mrs. Robert McKisson, recording secretary; Mrs. Samuel W. McCaulley, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Alfred G.

R. meeting in Fine Arts Recital hall. She is to be heard over the Evanston Radio station WEHS Thursdays between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening, and Sunday evenings between 6 and 8. Onward Day at Woman's Society Next Wednesday Wednesday, April 21, is to be On- ward day at the Woman's society of the Congregational church. Every member doubtless knows what Onward is, but few have visited it and become really familiar with its work. This neighborhood house, in which the Winnetka church and the Union church of Glencoe are so deeply in- terested, stands at the corner of Ohio and north Leavitt streets in the midst of a foreign community. Since all do not find it convenient to visit the settlement, this will be an opportunity to learn with little effort and in detail, of the work there. Three brief talks, reviewing the work at Onward from different angles, will be given by Mrs. IT. H. Buechler of Glencoe, chairman of Onward aux- iliary; Miss Stewart, headworker; and Mrs. Vidiloff, the Woman's society representative at Onward. Miss Stew- art will show some interesting slides of the classes in session. Mrs. Vidiloff, of foreign birth herself, and master of many languages, will appear in Bul- garian costume. "Altogether it is too attractive a program to miss because of spring cleaning," the committee feels. The morning session begins at 10. At 11, Mrs. Frederick Dickinson will read. At 12, Mrs. John L. Hamilton will lead the devotions. The Onward talks will follow the luncheon. The association of Delta Gamma mothers will meet Thursday, April 21, at 11 o'clock in the morning with Mrs. Edwin Hedrick, 304 Melrose avenue, Kenilworth. Luncheon will be served at 12:30. . Arden Shore Is Building Cottage for Aged Women The scope of Arden Shore activities is widening this year, for now a cot- tage for elderly women is being built and equipped for the summer camp. The directors of the association feel that where people are poor and live in overcrowded habitations old people find it very trying and naturally long for the quiet that old age needs. For this purpose they =re providing the cottage. It is not large and will not take care of all those in the camp who need it, but it has a spacious living room which will allow those not living in it a place to rest and visit with others of their own age. Every cottage or building at Arden Shore "has "been a gift to the associa- tion, it is announced, with the excep- tion of the administration building and this new cottage.
