Owing to the White Elephant sale, this meeting is one week later than usual, which has given both flowers and committees extra time in which to perfect themselves for the day. The arrangement of the progam is to be unusual. The annual reports and election of officers will precede the luncheon, not follow it, as is cus- tomary. At 10:30, in the Neighbor- hood room, this important business meeting will take place. The reports will be brief and of interest. A birth- day luncheon, with all the charm that the word implies, will follow immedi- ately after the morning session. A delightful musical program will follow the luncheon.

Mrs. William H. Stanley Black, 171 Franklin road, will open her home on that date for the sale and tea. These sales have been held all along the north shore for many years, but this is the first one in Glencoe. Mrs. John Waller Marshall, presi- dent of this valuable charity, will as- sist Mrs. Black, one of the directors, along with the following hostesses: Mrs. Andrew MacLeish, Mrs. Milton Trainer, Mrs. Pirie Carson, Mrs. Ivor Jeffreys, Mrs. Henry L. Stout, Mrs. Keith Roberts, Mrs. James Sheldon, and Mrs. Henry Peirce Pope. This sale presents to Glencoe people an opportunity to see what many Chi- cago shut-ins accomplish through the aid of this organization. Through the assistance of skilled instructors, many unfortunate ones who otherwise would be dependent, become self supporting. These instructors utilize the talents of the shut-ins in a practical way, mak- ing it possible for them to put on the market many beautiful and saleable articles. In fact this shop has become quite famous for some of its products, among which are attractive and artis- tic hooked rugs, pillows, luncheon sets, and many other moderately priced articles.

Great Lakes Veterans Have Birthday Party Wilmette Woman's Club Com- mittee Takes Gifts and Cakes for Double Party (Contributed) At the Great Lakes Naval hospital a party is given each month of the year at the Red Cross House for the dis- abled ex-service men whose birthdays come in that month. The women's clubs of the Tenth district take turns in giving them. Thursday of last week the committee from the Woman's club of Wilmette gave the party for the men whose birthdays came in March and April. This was a double party as quarantine had prevented the one in March. About thirty-five women from the club went up to the party, each laden with one or more cakes, cartons of cigarets and flowers. Forty-two men had birthdays. Thirty-five were able to sit at the table which was beauti- fully decorated with pink flowers, candles, nut cups and a large birthday cake with forty-two pink candles. At each place was a box daintily wrapped containing a tie. As a personal touch, a birthday card with the name of the man was slipped into the ribbon of the box. Gifts were sent to the beds of the men who were not able to come to the table. Coffee and cake were served not only to the birthday party, but to nearly two hundred other men who had come to the Red Cross House. So generous had been the women of Wilmette that the sentiment voiced by many men was "For once we have had all the cake we wanted and such good cake." There was plenty to send to the ones who could not get out. A fine program was given and was greatly enjoyed. Hal Reeder of High- land Park, who is heard frequently over the radio and who conducts an orchestra of his own, gave his services. He was most enthusiastically received by the men when he gave his banjo solos and sang his funny songs, ac- companying himself on his instrument. Mrs. William A. Richardson read several humorous selections, Mrs. Ben- jamin Gage sang delightfully, and Mrs. David Park played for the boys when they gathered around the piano to sing. It was a very jolly party and the happiness reflected in the boys' faces made all feel that the afternoon had been worthwhile. The committee for co-operation with ex-service men, of the Woman's club of Wilmette, asks WiLmerTe Lire to convey its thanks to the entertainers, to Frank Wilson, who gave the large birthday cake, and to all who gave money, cake, cigarets, and service for the success of the party. : Art League Elects New Officers Next Thursday The last meeting of the North Shore Art league will be held on Thursday, May 12, in the Camp Fire room at Community House, Winnetka.
