34 WINNETKA TALK October 29, 1927 Autumn Brides and Benefits Hold Interest of Society Indian Summer's Touch Lends Its Charm to Wedding BY VIRGINIA HEDRICK One of the really very lovely wed- dings of Kenilworth was that of Miss Alice Shipman to Lester Branch on last Saturday evening. There had been various announcements of this event and friends had looked forward to it with eager anticipation. FEven the weather seemed to lend itself to suit the occasion, for it was a perfect Indian summer's evening. The Church of the Holy Comforter, where the service was read, filled to capacity, seems especially well planned for ceremonies of this kind. The long center aisle was lighted on either side by tapers, and on opposite sides of the altar were huge masses of pink and lavender chrysanthemums and autumn leaves shining above the branches of lighted candelabra. The Rev. Leland Danforth officiated. The bride was very beautiful in her mother's wedding gown of heavy ivory satin, trimmed in Chantilly lace, which has been in the family a hundred years. Her bouquet was of lilies-of-the- valley, sweet peas and orchids. Her bridesmaids were each in pink chiffon velvet gowns, made very simply, with- out ornament, in a quaint old fashioned style, and they carried old fashioned bouquets of pink roses, sweet peas, and snapdragons. The maid of honor, Elizabeth Shipman, sister of the bride, was in orchid velvet, carrying the same type of flowers with the added touch of lavender sweet peas and delphinium to carry out the color of her gown. Each attendant had a band of tulle about her hair caught with a single rosebud. The little ring bearer, Bobbie Branch, nephew of the groom, was dressed in white satin. Mrs. George Shipman, mother of the bride, was in flesh color- ed chiffon, ornamented with pearls and brilliants. The large reception which followed the wedding service, at the Kenilworth club, gave evidences of the popularity of these young people and of the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Shipman. Among those from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Hinsey, Ottumwa, Iowa, 'Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Amsbury, Cham- paign, Ill, Mrs. David Proctor, Peoria, IN, and L. C. Merriman of Canton, Ohio. The club rooms were beautifully decorated in roses and greens and the guests were entertained by soft violin music throughout the evening. Although no formal announcement has been made as yet it is understood that Miss Jeannette Cherry will be a bride in the very near future. She will marry Marshall Branch, brother of the groom of last Saturday. Engagement Announced at Luncheon Fast Monday Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Case of 160 Sheridan road, Hubbard Woods, have announced the 'engagement of their daughter, Carolyn, to Lawrence Everett Norem of Winnetka. The announcement was made at a luncheon given Monday for a number of Miss Case's friends. The date of the wed- ding is indefinite. Miss Case, who was graduated from in 1926, ma Smith carly last December. She is a men of the Cricago Junior league. her parents, she spent the past sum traveling in Europe, returning to Hub- bard Woods in September. Mr. Norem was graduated in 1922 from the University of Wisconsin. He is a member of Alpha Tau Omega. Walling Home Opened for Infant Welfare Reception Mrs. Willoughby G. Walling opened her charming home in Hubbard Woods on Wednesday afternoon for the annu- al Infant Welfare tea. Mrs. Lawrence Howe presided and expressed the gratification of the board that this year the entire budget of $7900 has been raised with an expense of only $26. Mrs. E. V. L. Brown introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. Frank- lin McLane, who is herself a doctor and head of the Woman's bureau of the Public Health institute and assist- ant director of the Social Hygiene council in Chicago. She has just re- turned from a year in an American hospital in China, where she did ob- stetrical and pre-natal work among the Chinese. Her talk gave an inter- esting glimpse of that work which is the nearest to our Infant Welfare now existing in China. In closing, she mentioned the necessity for more psy- chiatric work in Chicago in connection with the Infant Welfare. At present, the society is doing excellent work for babies and for expectant mothers, but it has only one psychiatrist, who goes from one to another of the twenty- three stations. The Winnetka branch of the Infant Welfare society of Chicago announces that it is very pleased with its report for the year and is grateful to its many subscribers for their generous support.

Junior League Troupe Is to Perform in Winnetka - The Junior League Children's thea- tre is coming to Winnetka this year with its winter repertoire. The plays are to be given at the Skokie school. The first will be on Wednesday after- noon, November 20, at 4 o'clock. The Junior league is an organization recruited every year from the season's debutantes. Candidates are proposed by members and are passed upon by the board and then serve term on probation, during which time they must attend lectures and classes of various sorts. Membership in the league is eagerly sought and regarded as a real privilege. The field of service is large and in- cludes social service and charitable works of nearly every possible sort. Every year a large sum of money is raised. The Chicago league a few years ago took the interesting view- point that it was not enough to raise the money for a worthy end; that it should also be raised in a way that was in itself an educational project, Out of this idea grew the Children's theatre, producing the most valuable plays for children in the most charm- ing, whimsical manner. The league now has an experienced troupe to which it is constantly adding. The opening play this year is an adaptation of Thackery's delicious "Rose in the Ring." Miss Marian McFadden will be the irresistible "Giglio," Mrs. Charles Fargo the haughty "Angelica," Miss Daisianna Smith the charming "Betsinda," and the famous "Gruffenuff" will be played by Mrs. John Winterbotham, Jr. These will be supported by a large and able cast. The plays in Winnetka will be given for the benefit of the Winnetka Nur- sery school. Debutantes Will Sell Cigarets at Big Ball A group of debutantes will have charge of the sale of cigarets at the ball to be given for the benefit of the Vocational Society for Shut-Ins on Saturday, November 5, at the new Lake Shore Athletic club.

D. About three hundred guests attended the reception. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn are now at home in Allendale, N. D Mr, and Mrs. William P.

Funds Plans are being made for the $200,000 drive which the Chicago Young Wo- man's Christian association opened on October 21. The funds to be secured in the drive are needed to cover the budget difference between the income which the work provides and the ex- pense of maintaining the many services which the association offers to every Chicago girl through its housing, edu- cation, recreation, emergency help, and employment programs. Clarence S. Pellet is general chair- man of the campaign. Associated with him are Eugene Buffington, president of the Illinois Steel company, as head of the industrial division, which will get in contact with large industrial organizations by people connected with them; John Stuart of Hubbard Woods, president of the Quaker Oats company, as head of the special gifts committee; David Forgan, vice chair- man of the National Bank of the Re- public, as treasurer of the campaign; William C. Boyden of Winnetka, Chi- cago attorney, as chairman of publici- ty: and Frank Loomis of Glencoe, secretary of the Community Trust, as chairman of the loop division, which is organized into forty-two teams of seven men each, a total of 294, The business woman's organization is head- ed by Mrs. Ora Snyder. Mrs. Mabel Reinecke, collector of internal revenue, is chairman of the city organization, which will conduct the campaign out- side of the loop, and Miss Harriot P. Houghteling is in charge of the work in the suburban communities, Mrs. Clifford W. Barnes is chairman of meetings. Speaking of the need for the co- operation of the public in the Y. W.C. A. service program, Mr. Pellet says "It would appear unnecessary to argue for the value of a Y.W.C.A. in a city like Chicago. It has definitely es- tablished itself as a necessary institu- tion. It has a splendid record of progress. Naturally as the city grows, the work must grow, and just as na- turally as our ideas of service grow in all lines of business and endeavor, the work of the Y.W.C.A. must grow. Therefore, it becomes necessary occa- sionally to make an appeal for larger funds, and such an appeal is to be made in the last week of October and the first week of November. The amount to be raised, $200,000 seems moderate for the work to be under- taken." Mrs. Warner Cary Lewis of Kenil- worth, is chairman of the work in that village, and Mrs. Wheaton Augur, also of Kenilworth, is one of the Evanston captains. Mrs. William P. Sidley, 739 Humboldt avenue, Winnetka, is chair- man of the Winnetka and Hubbard Woods workers, ssisting her are Mrs. Ernest S. Ballard, 811 Auburn road, Mrs. Morris K. Wilson, 429 Sheridan road, and Mrs. Marcus D. Richards, 1240 Tower road. Makes Bow in November Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lamson will introduce their daughter, Elizabeth, to society at a tea to be given at their home, 940 Sheridan road, Winnetka, on November 17. Assisting at the debut tea will be Miss Margot Atkin, Miss Marjory Janney, Miss Virginia Wallace, Miss Betty Pain, Miss Elinor Dennehy, of Winnetka, and Miss Marjorie Miller of Glencoe.
