34 WINNETKA TALK > June 16, 1928 North Shore Is Interested in June Benefit Festival Festival Is Gala Mid-June Benefit for Hospital Room By JEAN TEN BROECK The grounds of the St. Francis hos- pital assume a festive, colorful atmosphere today, for, under the auspices of the St. Francis foundation, a June festival is holding sway for the purpose of offering its visitors booths with attractive and useful arti- cles, as well as many features of en- tertainment in exchange for their monetary contributions to be used to aid in the buying of equipment for the new emergency department of St. Francis, a hospital non-sectarian in its services, and the only Catholic hospital on the north shore. There is no ad- mission fee, nor charge for parking automobiles. The interest in this festival is wide- spread. Organizations not only on the north shore but in Chicago have been . actively preparing for the success of the festival for many weeks.

' Holiday Shops Tempting Purchasers with Wares By M. A. S. Since, apparently, about fifty per- cent of Winnetka is traveling this summer and one hundred per- cent is giving graduation and wedding presents, the following item should be of great interest. The travel committee of the Holi- day shops has already in hand many completed articles and will accept or- ders for more. These articles are most attractive and novel and include covers for Pullman tables with pockets and pad and pencil all complete, for the bridge game; dress, hat, and shoe bags, singly or in sets; compact sewing cases; stocking cases; sets of easily dried wash cloths and suit case covers of crepe in the loveliest pastel shades, exquisitely made. This is merely a hint of the variety to be found. For orders and further information call Mrs. A. M. Barrett, Winnetka 1346. The holiday shops, as all doubtless know, will be held in November for the benefit of the building fund of the Winnetka Congregational church. Betrothed Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Langdon of Wilmette announce the engagement of their daughter, Veneta Ada, to Lyman F. Newton, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Newton of Chicago. Miss Langdon graduated from Lake Forest university Tuesday. She is a member of Kappa Kappa Chi sorority. Mr. Newton graduated from Northwestern university last June and is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The marriage will take place in October. Varied Fortune Telling Feature of Garden Fete A wide variety of {fortune-telling booths will distinguish the Garden fete which the Women's University club of Chicago is presenting on June 28, at 2715 Sheridan road, Evanston. In one tent, to be distinguished by Chaldean designs which have been developed by an artist member of the club, a number of young women will satisfy the questions of the curious regarding the past, present, and future, with the aid of character reading, numerology, and cards. In other parts of the grounds there will be five other tents in which ex- perts in palmistry, including the chair- man of this division, Miss Marion Lyons, will preside, while those whose tastes trend to crystal gazing will find an expert in that field to interpret the mystic globe for them. Mrs. Clarence E. Frazier of Evans- ton is general chairman of the event, and Mrs. A. M. Simons is president of the club. Aside from the fortune- telling, guests at the fete, which is open to the public, may enjoy two shifts of bridge in the afternoon, two more in the evening, swimming contests, danc- ing, and moving pictures, while a trained chorus of singers will provide entertainment at intervals throughout the afternoon.
