36 WINNETKA TALK March 17, 1928 North Shore Wedding Plans Foretell Coming of Spring March and April Bring Weddings of Society Interest By JEAN TEN BROECK "The wedding will take place in the spring." So read several of the en- gagement announcements that found their way to our desk not many months ago. Now, as definite arrangements begin to come to us for weddings close at hand, we feel that in spirit, at least, the promise of springtime is soon to be fulfilled, in spite of the blue-gray clouds that look suspiciously as if they had come from the north from the cloud bag of King Boreas to turn aside the coming of that ever capricious vernal season. Dr. and Mrs. Theodore William Truitt of Wilmttte have issued the invitations to the marriage of their daughter, Madeline Drew, to Willard Dickinson Cunningham, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cunningham of St. Louis. The ceremony will take place Monday, April 2, at 8:30 o'clock in the evening at Christ church, Win- netka. The Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard will read the service. The wedding party will include Miss Teresa Backus of Kenilworth, who will act as maid of honor, Miss Alice Froeschle of Chicago, formerly of Wilmette, Miss Vera Hoerber of Ev- anston, formerly of Wilmette, and Miss Margaret Cunningham, sister of the bridegroom, who will be brides- maids. Mary Jean Truitt, sister of the bride, and Georgia Rita Drake of Wilmette will be the little flower girls. Richard Sinz of Evanston will serve the groom as best man, and ushering will be Arthur Perriman of Evanston, Charles Reith of St. Louis, John Cars- well of Evanston, and Roger Palmer of Chicago. An number of affairs have been planned prior to the wedding. Mrs. Jackson Deering of Evanston enter- tained at luncheon at the Chicago Athletic club and a matinee party last - Saturday.

Mrs. Cecil Clark Barnes of Chicago will read one of her stories which has appeared in Harper's magazine, and Mrs. Fitch Bosworth will sing two groups of songs, accompanied by Mrs. Robert Kingery. Winnetka has always made a generous response to Chief J. W. F. Davies' appeal for help in the main- tenance of his camp, realizing that it is one of the most constructive activi- ties of Community House. Dr. Davies feels keenly the responsibility of keep- ing the fees for the boys and girls down to the minimum amount neces- sary to cover expenses, SO that as many of our young people as possible may come under the influence of the health- giving, character-building life of the camp. For that reason, he needs a fund to take care of equipment and to make necessary repairs. He always uses a very considerable part of it to pay the way, in whole or in part, for children whose parents cannot afford the amount necessary to cover their expenses. Mrs. Frank T. Crawford is in charge of the affair this year and is being assisted by the following committee: Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden, Mrs. John Barden, Mrs. Arthur Barrett, Mrs. James Beardslee, Mrs. Ayres Boal, Mrs. John Cadmus, Mrs. James Clip- per, Mrs. Charles H. Coffin, Mrs. Barret Conway, Mrs. Arthur Dean, Mrs. A. M. Ferry, Mrs. James Flem- ing, Mrs. Leonard Hamilton, Mrs. Francis Lackner, Mrs. Isidor Lang, Mrs. Davies Lazear, Mrs. Stuart Plum- ley, Mrs. Marcus Richards, Mrs. Roger Sherman, Mrs. Harry Street, Mrs. Frederick Thomas, and Mrs, John Vennema. Announce Engagement Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bertram Wilson of 611 Laurel avenue, Wilmette, an- nounce the engagement of their daughter, Margaret Borwell, to Ernest Smith Humphrys, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith Humphrys of La Grange.

Mr. Humphrys was graduated from Union college, Schenectady, N. Y., in 1922. He is a member of the Chi Psi and Sigma Xi fraternities, The wedding will take place in the early fall. Has Meeting at Homestead The Kentucky Society of Evanston and the North Shore had a fitting setting for its meeting Tuesday after- noon. The members gathered at the new Homestead hotel in Evanston, and besides hearing the reading of a paper on "Henry Clay and Old Kentucky," inspected several of the apartments, all of which are decorated and furn- ished in true Colonial style. The meeting closed with the serving of tea in the living room, with its hooked rugs and lovely old furniture. Mrs. J. Endicott Bradstreet of Winnetka was one of the hostesses.
