TE TI Rg RT of FER PTT ORY WINNETKA TALK December 17, 1927 News of the North Shore Clubs (| Club Women Urged to Aid Veterans Tenth District Clubs to Bring Xmas Cheer to Vets and Fam- ilies; Ask Club Aid The Federation of Clubs of : the Tenth Congressional district has com- pleted plans for bringing Christmas cheer to the war veterans at Great Lakes and North Chicago hospitals and their families. At a recent meeting of the Tenth district club chairmen of co-operation with war veterans held in the Red Cross Recreation hall of the U. S. Naval hospital at North Chicago, Dr. Wilhite told of the scope of work done in the hospitals and encouraged the women to do everything possible to make the surroundings homelike for the men. Dr. Forkin and Dr. Kendall of the U. S. Veterans' bureau held an open discussion and explained satisfactorily many of the problems which these women have met in their work. This bureau has given the names and other information of the needy families of the veterans to the Tenth District clubs that are going to act as Good Fellows in bringing Christmas cheer to them. On Monday, December 19, at 9 o'clock the club women will assemble at Great Lakes where they will pack over 1,000 boxes to be given to the veterans for Christmas. The various clubs are furnishing the gifts to fill the boxes. All Tenth district club women are invited to participate in this activity as well as to be Good Fellows, and are asked to give their names to their club chairman. Kenilworth Choral Club Increasing Membership Several years ago there was or- ganized in Kenilworth a woman's chorus made up of members of the Neighbors and organized largely for the purpose of furnishing music for several of the club's programs. It was a highly successful organization and, under the guidance of Mrs. Homer Cotton, furnished some excellent num- bers on several occasions. It was discovered at that time that there were many good singing voices in Kenil- worth among the busy mothers and there has been a constant pressure to keep this chorus together and make use of this material. It is with pleasure that the chorus announces a very enthusiastic group for this season and has adopted the name of the Kenilworth Choral club. It is doing a very definite and serious work under the instruction of Francis S. Moore, a professional musician and choral teacher. Mr. Moore is living at the Kenilworth Inn this winter and the Choral club is making good use of his services while he is available. At present the club is studying "Hiawatha's Wedding" and in order that any one who loves to sing may know of this society, this announce- ment is made. The meetings are held every Tuesday evening at 7:45, at the home of Mrs. Edward Marshall, 140 Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, and anyone wishing to affiliate is 1 either to call Mrs. Marshall or come to the meetings. The club is desirous of enlarging its membership and makes an earnest appeal to all who care to sing, to join. The officers for this year are: Mrs. Charles Howe, presi- dent; Mrs. A. B. Spach, vice president : At Neighbors Club T urged of \ Cla The regular meeting of the Neigh- bors occurred on Tuesday of this week. Mrs. J. K. Farley, Jr. the president, called the meeting to order and Miss Erwin, acting as secretary fjoien in the absence of Mrs. David eCamp, read the minutes of the last meeting. Mrs. Helen Hepburn, the corre- sponding secretary, read two letters to the club, one from the secretary of the Kenilworth Choral club, urging all who are interested in singing to affili- ate with this group which is being coached by Francis S. Moore, a very competent musician and choral teach- er. : The second letter was from the Civic Music association announcing the sing- ing of Christmas carols by children in the Venetian court, Chicago, on Sat- urday, December 17, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. J. S. Cline and Mrs. Edwin Bluthardt are the dele- gates to the Civic Music association, of which the Neighbors club is a member. Mrs. Joseph Joyce told of the splen- did response she and her committee have met with from club members for Christmas cheer to the families of the men at Great Lakes. She asked any members willing to help, to join her on Monday, December 19, and assist in packing the Christmas boxes. Mrs. Gilbert Kelly, chairman of the philanthropy department, gave a re- port of the charities recommended for the disbursements of the funds of this department. The list had been ap- proved by the board of the Neighbors and was acted upon by the club. The treasurer was instructed to issue checks to these charities. The program of the afternoon was in charge of Mrs. Bent, vice president. The club sang together two Christmas carols and then Mrs. Bent introduced Mrs. Anne M. Hoen and Mrs. Warfle. Mrs. Hoen gave an -original interpre- tation of the story of the Nativity with incidental music furnished by Mrs. Warfle. The program opened with a pastoral by Mozart presenting a musi- cal picture of the country where "shepherds watched their flocks." Mrs. Hoen gave her own sincere portrayal of the birth of our Saviour and by word-picture carried her hearers back to Nazareth, over the stony path to Bethlehem, to the manger where Jesus was born, then to the shepherds in the hills and pastures, following them as they took their way to the little town, pictured them standing in the door- way, under the starlight, with the joy of this great wonder on their faces and in their hearts. It was a program for Christmas time and furnished an hour of medita- tion during these busy days. The next program in January will present Harold Ehrensperger, of Northwestern university and the Dra- ma League of America, who will speak on "Some Unusual Aspects of the American Theatre." This will be a lecture well worth hearing. Auxiliary in Santa Role e American Legion Auxiliary unit mette A is/playingiSan well as some two-hundred orphans at Normal, Ill.
