DR SR ty Es WINNETKA TALK a a ------~ -- ES Western Tournament Claims Interest of Women Golf Experts With the women's trophy-winners in some of the north shore golf clubs already picked, and with others hang- ing in the balance until two or three weeks from now, or even until the last of September, interest in golf from a competitive standpoint heightens with the coming of the Woman's Western Golf association tourney next week at Olympia Fields. Mrs. John Arends will go from Wil- mette Golf club to Olympia Fields next week, after having gained the cham- pionship in her own club in the_finals played last Friday, in which Mrs. Clair Graham was runner-up. Members of this club are now playing for the Au- gust trophy, the wigner of which will be decided in two weeks after the play- ing of four more matches. From the North Shore Golf club we find Mrs. A. D. Collins of Rogers Park and Mrs. H. H. Harrison of Evanston entering the Woman's Western Golf association tourney. Particular inter- est is attached to this fact when we learn that Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Har- rison will play the finals sometime this week for a silver service put un as a trophy by Hal Reading. Last Friday, the notorious thirteenth, was marked at this club by "jinx day" events, the women of the club inviting the men to be their 'guests for mixed two-ball foursome plav, followed in the eve- ning by a dinner and dance. Mrs. Thompson Ross of Wilmette, Mrs. T. E. Cain of Evanston, and Mrs. M. B. Wilson ef Chicago were the committee in charge of the day. On August 20 at the North Shore club there is match play against par. . Although the list of entrants for the tourney at Olympia Fields from the Indian Hill Countrv club is not entire- Iv definite, Miss Dorothy Klotz, Mrs. Charles Klotz, Mrs. A. Fletcher Marsh, Mrs. Allen Dixon and Mrs. A. Ballard Bradley are the probable entrants. Championship play at this club will take place in September. Entrants from Skokie Country club for the W.W.G.

Talented Sisters Give Program at Musicale The program for the fourth of the series of twilight musicales being given at the Sunset Ridge Country club Sunday, August 22, will offer two sisters as the artists for the evening, Elizabeth and Ellen Townsend. The first half of the evening's. program, which is to begin at 8:30 o'clock, will consist of duet numbers, and the last half will be parts of the opera "Car- men." These two sister artists are real Chicagoans, having been born and brought up in the city. They Br done a great deal of concert work throughout the countrv. and have studied in Paris two different times under one of the prominent French teachers. In this country they have studied under Mrs. Charles Krum of Chicago, and have be'a coached for grand opera by several well known instructors. Although this musicale is the fourth and the last of the season's series as it was originally planned, members of the committee think that still another one or two may be given.

August 21, 1926 i -- Alumnae of Illinois and Rockford Arrange Teas for New Girls While prospective college and uni- versity freshmen all over the country are planning and shopping and then planning some more for their first year at school away from home, alum- nae associations of many of those schools are laying plans for the first official contract which these freshmen women will make with their Alma Mater of the future. And, although the time to leave for school still seems a- long time away, the calendar and the late summer weather reminds us that the opening date for most schools is less than a month distant. Alumnae associations of one college and one university this week an- nounced the date for their alumnae- freshman "get acquainted" teas, an event which both associations are mak- ing an annual affair. The annual tea in honor of incoming Rockford college girls will be given the afternoon of September 11, in the home of Mrs. Catherine Waugh Mec- Culloch, 2236 Orrington avenue, Ev- anston. Mrs. McCulloch, a Rockford graduate, has opened her home for several years for the tea. She will be assisted by members of the North Shore branch of the Chicago Rock- ford College association. Miss Lorena Church, the college registrar, and Dean Gould will come from Rockford to attend the tea. Miss Katherine Oberlin of Hammond, Ind, president of the Chicago Rockford College association, will assist Mrs. McCulloch. By means of this annual fall tea, new girls are introduced to graduates and underclassmen who live on the north shore and in nearby suburbs. A closer contact can be had with the active organiation which functions after graduation from college by making ac- quaintanceships early in this manner, The Chicago Alumnae association of the University of Illinois will honor all girls in the vicinity of the city who expect to enter the state university for the first time this fall at a tea in the home of Mrs. Charles Dennis, presi- dent of the association, at 1225 Michi- gan avenue, Evanston, on the same day as that on which the Rockford tea is to be given, Saturday, Septem- ber 11. Invitations to the tea will be sent out next week to several hundred girls in the vicinity of Chicago who will enter upon their first year on the twentieth of next month, the first day of registration. Both alumnae and the present members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes at the uni- versity who have not returned to school at that time will be present to assist Mrs. Dennis in welcoming the new girls. Dean Maria Leonard, who made a short welcoming speech to the new girls at the tea last year, will come from Champaign to be present at the tea again this year. More complete plans in regard to the teas will be given later, including the names of north shore alumnae who will assist the hostesses.
