Mrs. Richardson, a graduate of Northwestery, became dean of women in May, 1924, after having engaged in social work at the Chicago Commons settlement. She succeeded Mrs. Mary Ross Potter, who became counselor of women. Last winter Mrs. Richardson announced her engagement to Arthur M. Long of Chicago, and asked to be relieved of her duties as dean of women. She will be married early in the summer and will make her home in Wilmette. Mrs. Robnett, the new dean of women, also is a Northwestern gradu- ate. For the last three years she has been director of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupations. Previous to that she was active in advertising, pub- licity and vocational fields. During the war she was director of the employ- ment department of the women's com- mittee of the council of national de- fense of Illinois. She has delivered lec- tures in the leading universities and colleges of the middle west on "The College Woman in Business and the Professions." Mrs. Robnett is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, the Evanston Wom- an's club, the Woman's City club of Chicago, the League of Women Voters and other organizations. She has been on the board of governors of the Northwestern university foundation since its organization. Prepare to Pave Tenth Street This Summer The improvement of Tenth street, from Chestnut street to Sheridan road, with a twenty-foot pavement, con- templated for some time, is to be started soon with a view of having it completed this summer. Township "Highway Commissioner J. A. Williams has asked the county to make the necessary survey. and prepare plans and specifications for the work, he announced today. PENCIL BRIDGE In the days of music boxes and spelling bees, the woman's wail was: "He broke my heart!" This radio and bridge game age finds the same sex wailing (with venom): "He trumped my ace!" Both charges were serious. Many happy homes have become happy hunting grounds through the in- clination of hosts to place husband and wife as partners in a bridge game. A slight error at the bridge table has been known to cause stony silences in a household for weeks. But all this business is in the past through the agency of Geoffrey Mott-Smith wha has invented a combination of bridge playing and perfect peace! He has extracted the sting from the former and the monotony from the latter. The result is called "Pencil Bridge" and is published by Putnam's. Not only can this game he played with as much ardor and science as ordinary bridge--but it can be played alone. It is arranged in book form, needing only a pencil as extra equip- ment. (Specially designed to be car- ried under arms of commuters and globe-trotters). Jack Freeman, 185 Chestnut street, left yesterday to spend the summer at Dr. Sprague's camp at Minocqua, Wis.
