White Elephants Sought for Guild Rummage Bargains (Contributed) Have vou any White Elephants in your home? If so, do yourself a good turn by getting rid of them and do somebody else a good turn by giving them to the Woman's Guild and Aux- iliary of Christ church, Winnetka, for the Rummage sale to be conducted Thursday, October 18, at the Parish House, 482 Linden avenue, Winnetka. Almost anything will be acceptable, clothes, shoes, hats, hosiery, gloves, kitchen utensils or equipment, lamps, shades, furniture, books, china, bric a brac, pictures, jewelry, or what have you? Just telephone Mrs. William J. Eldridge, Winnetka 1784, and she will pick up your White Elephants, or, if it is furniture you have, call Mrs. George Parker, Winnetka 992, and a truck will call for it a day or two be- fore the sale. Articles may be sent to the Parish House at any time. The women in charge of the sale are busy sorting the contributions and every dav they unearth dozens of things which may have been termed White Elephants bv their former own- ers but certainly will not be considered anything of the sort by those who pur- chase them at the sale. A combina- tion coal and gas range which has been in use in one of Winnetkas finest homes for only five years, a beautiful antique settee which graced the old- fashioned parlor of one of the most palatial homes in the village for many years, a washing machine in perfect condition, a set of ten-pins, several tennis rackets, a hobby horse to de- light the heart of some small boy, snow-shoes, beads and necklaces, and some beautiful pieces of silverware are a few of the articles already received. Among the women in charge of the sale, which will open at 9 a. m. and continue until 9 p. m., are Mrs. Eld- ridge, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. C. C. McKin- ney, Mrs. Wyndham Channer, Mrs. John Vander Vries, Mrs. William El- liott, Mrs. John Guthrie, Mrs. Godfrey Atkin, Mrs. Gross T. Williams, Mrs. J. C. Cobb, Mrs. B. K. Smith, Mrs. W. A. Barr, Mrs. Houston Clinch, Mrs. Henry Urion, Mrs Ralph Hobart, Mrs. J. R. Graff, Mrs. G. A. Johnstone, Mrs. Emory Andrews, Mrs. H. H. Barnum, Mrs. Seth Shepard, Mrs. Gilbert Crowder, Mrs. James W. Marshall, Mrs. Ernest S. Ballard and Mrs. War- ren Crawford. The latter, the head of the Order department of the Guild, will have an exhibition of the work done by this department at the sale and will take orders for the attractive articles made by herself and her corps of able assistants. Among the articles are blanket covers, children's spreads, bibs, beverage napkins, servettes, linen and cotton crepe luncheon sets, boudoir and baby pillow cases, tray cloths and napkins and fancy match boxes. Webb School of Dancing Resumes Winnetka Classes The Webb School of Dancing con- ducted by Florence Webb, principal, a member of the Operatic Society of Great Britain and a Fellow of the Im- perial society, will resume classes in Winnetka this season. The school was founded in England in 1911 and its aim in Winnetka is the - same as it was then--to cultivate grace and beauty in every form and bring out the personality of the individual, says the principal. Mrs. Webb does not teach acrobatic dancing which, in her opinion, tends to stifle natural grace. She conducts baby, elemen- tary and advanced classes for children in which some work is done with the children in unison but the aim is al- ways to bring out each childs individ- uality, it is explained. There are also ballroom classes for young people and adults, all of which are held in the Community House or the Winnetka Women's club building.
