10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 Do You Remember 'Way Back When-- You could count the CHRYSLER SIXES on the street, back in 19247 Put "two-bits"' in your home bank every time a CHRYS- LER passes you now and you can own one yourself next fall! Evanston Motor Sales W. D. Reagan, Mgr. 1017 Davis Street Phone Univ. 2277 "Ifill Garden' Charming Setting for a Tea ME: HERMON B. BUTLER of 715 Prospect avenue, is inviting the women of Christ church to a tea in her home and garden on Monday, May 25, at 4 o'clock, on the occasion of the annual spring collection in the parish of the women's United Thank Offer- ing. There is, of course, no stated sum for the offering. Each guest gives hers on arrival, and no one but the giver should know what the amount may be. The custodian of this fund could tell them it always includes everything from pennies to large-sized checks. The object is the support of trained women workers in the missions of the church in those places where the church feels they can most effectively render Christian service. The offering is gath- ered in approximately every parish in every diocese all over the world, and every woman member is privileged to share in it. The Hill Garden is at the height of its spring glory--a sight that those who already know and love will enjoy again, and those who have not seen it before can feel assured a rare treat is in store for them.
