Maternity, Children's Ward Workers Ask Bazaar Attendance The north shore members of the Woman's auxiliary of the Maternity and Children's charity ward of the Post Graduate hospital, 2400 South Dearborn street, Chicago, are giving their annual bazaar for the benefit of this charity Friday, November 9, at the home of Mrs. G. F. Suker, 1028 Starr road, Winnetka. As heretofore, the sale will include many beautiful things for both young and old as well as delicious home-made jellies, cake, and cookies. Tea will be served. The members on the north shore who are giving this sale are Mrs. Duane L. Peterson, president; Mrs. Louis M. Beale, Mrs. Edgar Crilly, and Mrs. Emil Staehelin, The Auxiliary which has been or- ganized for over sixteen years owes its existence to Doctor Gay Durbin Ries formerly of the hospital staff. Due to the many calls for help she re- ceived from the children's clinic she realized the dire need of a charity ward. And so in 1911 the eleven char- ter members organized and elected Dr. Lena K. Sadler as its first president. From this beginning there has resulted three maternity and eight children's free beds maintained entirely by the auxiliary, all medical and surgical, also nursing services have been contributed by the hospital staff and nurses. In this way all money realized on bene- fits and donations goes directly to the charity ward. Although the majority of the cases cared for come direct to the hospital, yet many more are referred from the various charities, through visiting nurses, and by physicians outside the hospital. If needy, regardless of na- tionality or creed, they are taken in and cared for, but if they are able to contribute even ever so little, they are asked to do so in order to better teach them to help themselves and take away the sting of being charity patients. . The Auxiliary is asking its friends to help it once more with this work as winter is the time it needs all it can get together for the calls are many and more serious.

Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, chairman of the arts and literature committee, introduced the speaker, Miss Jean Mowat, whose subject was "The Art of Planning and Budgeting a Wardrobe." Miss Mowat is a writer for fashion papers, both home and for- eign, a contributor to the Woman's World magazine and the first radio fashion editor for station W. M. A. Q. at Chicago. Miss Mowat opened her talk by stating that the important thing in planning a wardrobe was the occasions for which it would be needed. One must decide if they wish to combine quality with style. "Yon must remember," she said, "that clothes are not merely a covering, they must create happiness for the wearer as well as for the observer." Miss Mowat emphasized that almost any color was always good but there were favored colors for every season, the colors this year being mostly from the old masters. For example-- green grays and brown grays from Corot, copper reds from Rousseau and the earth browns and bronzes from Millet. She said the foreigners consider the American woman "restless in clothes," they could not understand her con- stant desire for change. Miss Mowat brought with her an exquisite group of materials velvets, silks and pure rayons and explained the charming motives depicted in them. Having made an extensive study of fabrics and colors both here and a- broad, she was well qualified to speak. Mts. Hermon B. Butler Presides at Fornightly Mrs. Hermon B.
