Those words coming to us over the wire, with the usual unexpectedness of news, caused us a mental jolt, for the reports we constantly hear of autumn weddings, the opening of the woman's clubs, fall debuts and the exodus of so many young people of the north shore to distant schools and college halls, make any idea of the Yule-tide seem rather previous. But the calendar leaves no doubt that Christmas is just three months away and there are many fore-handed persons in our midst who shop all during the fall with the intention of gradually checking off their gift lists. The persistently used slogan, "Do your Christmas shopping early" carries with it in this instance, a deeper significance than the one usually implied, for to prospective Christmas shoppers and. to those whose homes, · perhaps, require changes in their appointments, this sale of the handwork of the ex-service men at the Great Lakes hospital will afford the opportunitv of aiding them financially, and they need that, as well as of being a stimulus to them mentally and of giving them a feeling of independence, a need just as great. Under the sp,o nsorship of the committee for co-operation with ex-service men of the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette, Mrs. John Boylston will open her home at 1302 Chestnut avenue, \\'ilmette, Friday, October 1, for an all-day sale of the manual work of its particular group of World War sufferers, for whom the tragedy of that conflict still endures, and about whom in many cases, it will always hover. Hand-woven and hooked rugs, attractive bags, scarfs and many other examples of the artistry of their hands, will be on display. The sale will offer a large assortment of pretty things, we are told, for these boys have been working for this event for the last year. Interest in the work of ex-service men on the north shore is keen, as these · special woman's clubs' committees and American Legion auxiliaries prove. Those who do not realize how much these men require help other than medical care, need only to visit one of the government hospitals and hear the individual stories of just a few, to know how they crave an interest in accomplishing something in order to feel that they can serve some active purpose in the world of men.· Mrs. Edward ]. McArdle is the chairman of the committee in charge of the sale, which is composed of Mrs. L. W. Crush, Mrs. P. J, Joyce, Mrs. R. C. Ross, Mrs. J. J. Mills, Mrs. Joseph Joyce, Mrs. G. E.
