MP A J A SA A -- A NP 'fa Ah 28 WINNETKA TALK August 11, 1928 August Events Attract North Shore Women Golfers Indian Hill Women Will Be Hostesses to Western Golfers Easily the most exciting event that has happened in north shore women's golf for a long time is the twenty-sixth annual Women's Western champion- ship tournament. The event will start next Monday at Indian Hill club with the qualifying round and will be ended Friday with the championship round. A number of north shore women who are golf fans will be following in the galleries to give a little psycho- logical support to their favorites. Among thé women who will entertain for the out-of-town guests and con- testants is Mrs. Pettit Watson of 900 Sunset road, Winnetka, who will give a tea on Tuesday afternoon. At Skokie Country club, the Western Open day for women will be on Au- gust 24. A large number of guests are expected to be entered in that event which will be more of a local interest. Women from other clubs will be following their favorite "just above par" player on that day. Skokie women members will have their own little contest for the club championship which will be played the first week of September. The quali- fying round will be played on Friday, August 31. A pleasant event played by most of the clubs is the mixed four- some. One was held at Skokie on Thursday and the second one for the month is planned for Thursday, Au- gust 23. Sometimes the husbands and wives agree to disagree on the playing of their shots, but the mixed four- somes are usually good fun for every- one. The new Dundee club is of particu- lar interest to the women since it is a club for the women alone, no men admitted, thank you. The president, Mrs. Charles A. Klotz has been called to California, so Mrs. Pettit Watson, vice-president and chairman of the membership committee, is ably filling her place for the time being. Ground for the clubhouse out near Barrington will be broken the last of this month, and a picnic for the members is being planned for the first of August. The charter membership of the club has been filled with women from all over this country as well as with many north shore women. The board, in its meeting held regularly every ten days, considers additional memberships. Sunset Ridge members are playing every Tuesday, their day for the wo- men, for the Dave Tosh trophy. The best three out of four Tuesday score will be submitted in the competition. Last Thursday the annual play for the Sunset Ridge trophy brought out the husbands and wives in mixed two- somes. The next guest day for the club will be August 21. The Wilmette Golf club women played last Tuesday to qualify for the August trophy. The first round will be played August 22, the semi-finals on August 23, and the finals on Au- gust 24. This will be followed on August 24 by a luncheon, bridge, and partner day, which, one may suppose will combine condolences and congrat- ulations with explanations of how she did it. The guest day for August will fall on Tuesday, August 28. Mrs. Halsey D. G. White of 681 Lincoln avenue, has as guests Con- tessa di Nogarole Bevilacqua (Mrs. Charles M. Meehan) of Verona, Italy, Miss A. C. Sherwood and Mrs. E. L. Dickinson. There will be many parties fives for the guests during their stay ee 2 Engaged i Photo by Toloft Mr. and Mrs. A. N.

Palmists, Mosquitoes Are Plentiful at Garden Fete The fortune tellers and palm readers were out in full force Thursday night, August 2, at the garden fete at the home of Mrs. Minna Schmidt, 2715 Sheridan road, Evanston. The party was a benefit given by the North End branch of the Friends of the Chicago Junior school. The fortune tellers, had they been less sympathetic, might have told al- most anyone that she was of nervous temperament and restless, but the fortune tellers too were stung by the swarms of mosquitoes that threatened to ruin the party. Even the handfuls of punk burning about the garden could not chase this horde away. The party was a success, however, for by 9 o'clock almost everyone had patronized the cigaret girls, bought bal- loons, taken a ride on the little rail- way operated by Bruce Carns, or pur- chased tickets for the many other at- tractions about the place. After din- ner time, bridge was played on the lovely screened verandah of the house and the orchestra, perched on top of the boat house, played for the dancers on the beach walk. The committee for the fete was headed by Mrs. Emma F. Stross who was general committee chairman. Her sub-chairmen included Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of Winnetka, Mrs. J. R. Wolfenden, Mrs. Russell Gross, Mrs. George Karnes, Mrs. W. L. Harrison, Mrs. Arthur Schwarz, Mrs. M. Xabel, and Mrs. Maud Carleton.
