WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 Alumnae Striving for Huge Success of Benefit Bridge URING the last few days pre- ceding the Wellesley benefit bridge on Tuesday, February 24, the alumnae of Chicago and the north shore are bending every effort to make the affair one of the largest of its kind ever given. That the college spirit lives on in after years is mani- fested by the vim with which the tickets are being sold. An added incentive for raising funds at this time, is this. The Chicago Welles- ley club had pledged to send a sum of money to the college as a birth- day gift in celebration of the Semi-Centennial in June. An un- expected offer has been made, how- ever, by Edward Stephen Harkness of New York City, donor of the Harkness Memorial Tower at Yale, who will present Wellesley college with $100,- 000 provided the undergraduates and alumnae raise a balance of $200,000 by the first of April. This money is for the completion of the Tower Court quadrangle, a group of dormi- tories erected on the site of College hall, completely destroyed by fire in 1914. The money realized from this series of bridge parties will be di- rected into this fund. Three parties will be given in Win- netka on Tuesday afternoon at the homes of Mrs. William Sherman Hay, 645 Sheridan road; Mrs. Hubert Howard, 643 Walden road, and Mrs. John R. Montgomery, 15 Green Bay road. In last week's issue of the TALK, the name of the latter hostess was incorrectly given as Mrs. Frederick D. Montgomery. iy The Entre Nous Matinee club will have its annual Flower and Jewel party Wednesday, February 25.
