The Arden Shore bazaar, which was recently held at the Evanston Woman's Club, was a great success. Mrs. O. B. Tennis, of Evanston, was in direct charge of the bazaar while the chairmen from each town had charge of their own tables. The Wilmette table, which was under the direction of Mrs. C. C. Mitchell, was very attractive, and a clear profit of more than $125 was realized from its sales. Previous to this, the Wilmette department had nearly $600 raised by various means, so that now, over $700 is to be turned in from this village. If each of the North Shore towns would contribute proportionate amounts, the winter camp at Lake Bluff would be amply supplied.
The ladies assisting Mrs. Mitchell included Mesdames M. Frank [unclear], Alfred Bersbach, Thomas Knox, J. Parker Gowind, David Forsyth Anderson, E. L. FitzRandolph, H. A. Whitman, Joseph Marshall, William J. Montgomery, George L. Martin and Miss Hortense Gowing. Afternoon tea was served in the tea room and a large number of young people took advantage of the dancing in the lower ballroom during the evening. A few articles were left unsold, but are at the homes of Mrs. C. C. Mitchell, J. Parker Gowing and Thomas Knox, where they may be obtained at cost price. Of the two rugs which were raffled, one was won by Miss Mary Barrett of Forest avenue, Wilmette, the other goes to the person holding the number 57, as yet unknown. Within the next two or three weeks, the chairmen of the various towns will be entertaiend at the Fortnightly club by Mrs. Gregory, president of the Arden Shore club, and all final arrangements will then be made.- Featured Link
