; WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 11 PAST WEEK BRINGS LOCAL CLUB SEASON TO AN END Woman's Club of Wilmette Shows a Splendid Record N May 6, the annual luncheon of the Woman's Club of Wil- mette was given at the KEdge- water Beach hotel, thus closing the year's activities. Every member should feel a just pride in what the club has given to its members and to the com- munity, for it has been carrying on a 'splendid work. ' The club has given 31 percent of .its income to charity, or a little more than $5,000. A large part of this donation was made possible by the very effici- ent work of the Economy Shop under the direction of Mrs. Arthur Dixon. Another part of the charity work was done by the philanthropy department under the chairmanship of Mrs. H. C. West. About $700 was spent for ma- terial out of which 1800 garments were made. The institutions that were the beneficiaries either of funds, or cloth- ing, or both, were the Frances Juve- nile home, Cook County hospital, In- fant Welfare, Lake Bluff orphanage. Mary Bartelme home, Little Wander- ers, Sarah Hackett Stephenson Memo- rial Lodging house, United Charities, Legal Aid fund, Oak Haven Old Peo- ple's home, Daily News Fresh Air Fund, Grosse Point Health Center, Chicago Woman's Shelter, Park Ridge School for Girls, local free movies for children," American Legion, Travelers' Aid, Glenwood Manual Training school, the Howard school which re- ceived from the club, a rug for the teachers' room. Seven hundred dol- lars has been given or pledged to the Wilmette Community Chest. In the friendly cooperation with ex- service men at the Great Lakes hospi- tal, Mrs. C. D. Ewer and her commit- tee have done a wonderful work, es- pecially through their personal inter- est which has meant a great deal to the boys. They made Christmas a real experience and brightened the entire year with flowers; cookies, candy, tobacco, books, magazines, and many necessary gifts of clothing. Courses have been conducted in citizenship, current events, music ap- preciation (interpretation of the pro- grams of the Dasch players), and ef- fective speaking. Book reviews have been given, and the club's interest in art has been manifested by a gallery tour, by its cooperation in North Shore Art league exhibit, and by the three day exhibition of the artists of Wil- mette. The members of the club have en- joyed almost unlimited opportunities for pleasure. Three evening dances have been directed by Mrs. N. P. Col- well, and 28 luncheons. Mrs. Fuchs, the social chairman, has been most ably assisted by her committee. The club has five well organized and active departments, namely, the art and literature, with Mrs. Sumner R. Mason, chairman; the child and home, Mrs. Lafayette Cozzens, chairman; civics and legislation, Mrs. James G. Wray, chairman; music, Mrs. Herbert B. Mulford, chairman; and the philan- thropy, with Mrs. Herbert C. West, the chairman. Programs as fine as any offered in Chicago or on the north shore have been presented at the club, accounts of which have been given in this paper as they appeared. Such nationally known persons as Dr. Richard Burton, Bertha Kunz Baker, Dudley Crafts Watson, Horace Bridges, and Carveth Wells were among these on the pro- grams. The very high standards main- tained in the club programs is due to the experienced president, Mrs. R. E. Pattison Kline, who has had the very able assistance of Mrs. Harvey Bush, program chairman, and the heads of the departments. The club bulletin, edited by Mrs. John C. Boddie, has had four interest- ing issues a year. The club owns its building which is free from incumberances; it has a membership of 600 women with a wait- ing list of over 50.

Fisher, ]Jr., re- cording secretary; Mrs. Ralph T. Huff corresponding secretary; Mrs. David I. Anderson, treasurer.
