H. Patterson (below), who was among the directors of the Antiquarian society of the Art institute who poured tea at a recent gathering in the institute's galleries A10 and A12.

THE rolling grounds of Mr. and Mrs. Louis F. Swift's Wheaton property will be the setting for their annual Galloping Hills horse show, which this year will be held on two days Instead of the customary one. June 29 and 30 are the dates which have been selected for the gala event.

The Swifts decided to give twice the usual time to the horse show in order that guests may enjoy the exhibition in greater leisure. As has been customary in past years, refreshments will be served to visitors 3 At least transportation luck was with the Yiddish actors of My Wedding Night," who opened their week-end engagement in the Civie Opera house on schedule because they caught the last train out of Detroit in their jump from Montreal. They and all other touring troupes worried about what comes next will sympathize with the major contingent of the Metropolitan Opera, which got back to New York in the nick of time and from sheer relief burst into the Pilgrims' chorus from "Tannhauser" right there in the train shed. It would be a relief to burst into a chorus of my own just now, to avoid having to say anything about "My Wedding Night." Menasha Skulnik, its star, is a deadpan comedian in typical baggy burlesque style, and perhaps he is hilarious if you know what he is talking about. But the play itself could never have been staged for English speaking audiences, so low is its production level, and I don't see why Yiddish, audiences should be stuck with it.

No. 1717, be placed on the "must" list for early passage was voted yesterday by the state council of the Illinois League of Women Voters. The action was taken at the final session of a two day conference in the Winnetka home of the president of the league, Mrs.

Walter T. Fisher. The bill would put control of the bomb in the hands of a civilian council. The council decided to give first attention next year to a movement supporting an Illinois constitutional convention. The league has been working on this project for the past two years, and an accelerated campaign will be mapped out during the summer under the direction of Mrs.

Preston Farley of Glenview. The 1946-'47 program as adopted by the council also calls for league support of 1 improved social welfare services within the state; 2 a state fair employment practices commission; 131 state encouragement for housing programs, with emphasis on planning, and 4 equalizing of educational opportunity thru adequate state support of schools, improved administrative programs, remapping of school districts, increased salary of teachers, and extension of school services. -v.

Swift returned this week from the Bridle Spur hunt in Kirk-wood, near St. Louis. She was a guest at the August A. Busch Jr. estate near Kirkwood.

Mr. Busch, whose hunter and jumper, Yankee Doodle, won outstanding honors in the Bridle Spur meet, has promised to bring his horse to the Galloping Kills show. A number of his St. Louis friends also are planning to come to Wheaton for the exhibition. To the great delight of her Louis who is known as Bumpy, Mrs.

Swift brought back with her a icinan aonupy, which iu. cujlh sent to the lad as a gift. Of a spe cial and very small breed, the little animal rode north in the back of her station wagon. On the Calendar The railroad strike will prevent the guests of honor from being present at a cocktail party the R. Win-field Ellises are giving tonight before the Saddle and Cycle club's Night in Rio dinner-dance, but it won't alter party plans.

Mr. and Mrs. Ellis had planned the party for her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hastings of New York.

Mr. and Mrs. Hastings got as far as the Grand Central station In New York, but their train did not leave. Among others with reservations for the Saddle party are the Herbert St rat fords, Mr. and Mrs.

The moss scent, cool and restful, makes your bath one of the best of hot weather pick-ups.

Pretty Joan Leslie Is cast as Judy Jones, who sings with a band on a radio program. As a stunt members of the audience are invited to the stage to read love letters they have received from the opposite sex, whereupon Judy and the band leader played by Robert Alda compose songs from the epistles. It is just handy, of course, that the letters are all in verse and what verse. One line I remember especially was so help me Every night when I go to bed, I think of you, and wish that I was dead." How's that for a love lyric? In addition to this little parlor game the program is dedicated to locating one Judy Jones, to whom a fortune has been willed by her late uncle, Jonas P. Jones.

Since the singing Judy is greatly retarded mentally, it takes some time for the similarity of names and the fact of her eligibility to dawn on her. She then discovers that she must be married by a certain date. Uncle's will also stipulates that her hus band must have an IQ of at least 150. Maybe uncle was right in thinking a genius would be helpful, since Judy needs a lot more in the way of brain matter before she could be classified as a half-wit, as the old saying goes. The potential heiress is sent to school, and, of course, it must be a men's school, in order to add com plications.

After a good deal of nonsense, she leaves there to be come a waitress, making sandwich es of soap and silver polish and in dulging in further unfunny antics. Almost every device known to slap-stick is used before the long delayed finale, in which Judy and her bridegroom are married atop an army tank by a chaplain, for reasons only the script writers could explain. Cinderella Jones is a painfully amateurish and tiresome hodge podge in spite of the frenzied exertions of a willing cast. It is too bad it wasn't left on the shelf, where it reposed harmlessly for many months. Service Center to Open May Festival Tonight The May festival of the Chicago service men's center at 430 S.

Michi-igan postponed by the dim-out, will be held tonight and tomorrow night in the center's 4th floor ballroom. During tonight's festivities the May king and queen will be chosen and a waltz contest will be held. BY RUTH Thought While outecleaning Almost every man cherishes the secret delusion that women hide things. Ask any half dozen men if they can find their favorite golf socks, or an old pair of shoes they use for gardening, or a moth eaten hat they save for fishing trips and they will assume a sad sweet expression fit for a saint. Of course they can't find them! The wimmin folks hide them.

This is What Every Woman Knows. For what 5 foot 100 pound wife hasn't got up in the night with a gale blowing in the window full blast to hunt up the cough sirup for a strapping male who has stifled two mild wheezes? And all the time the bottle was right on the center of the linen closet shelf an odd place to keep the cough sirup, perhaps, but rational to the feminine mind. According to men, all women have the tendencies of the pack rat which is the reason they are file clerks. It's a natural for a woman to put things away where no one can find them. Filing system, my word! Filing according to the men is something the gals have to get out of their systems.

It's merely part of the great game of hide and seek. The girls hide; the men seek their lost belongings. It's a merry chase. Cry Havoc Pity the poor business man whose wife and whose secretary choose the same week for housecleaning. He has neither home nor office.

One such executive was found wandering only last week and admitted under questioning that he didn't know where he was of! He knew he was vice president of something but of what? Head of a household but where? You readily can see this is a dangerous situation and one that strikes at the roots of American business and the American home. The only solution is for the office and the home to draw closer together and not tear down the shades, roll up the carpets, and clean out the cabinets at one and the same time. It can be done provided the wife and secretary are on amiable terms. Then, while one department of a man's life is thoroly scrambled, the other remains serene and unchanged. Magnificent coordination! The Result It was a sharp steno who observed that the average male dislikes the process of housecleaning but likes the results much the same as he dislikes watching you apply makeup but applauds the finished job." No truer words were spoken by philosophers too long dead to stand by their statements and something to be borne in mind by any zealous white collar girl tempted to embroil her boss in the throes of housecleaning.

Especially is it important never to ask him if he "wants to keep this?" He's outraged! Most certainly he wants to keep it!
