A WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 13 Bridge Will Help College Club Fulfill Its Pledge HE North Shore Vassar club is making elaborate plans for a bridge party to raise funds to complete a pledge made to furnish a room in a beautiful new alumnae building. The affair, which is in charge of Mrs. Donald Jeffris of Win- netka and Mrs. Philip P. Merrill of Evanston, the chairmen, will take place at the Orrington hotel on Mon- day, February 16, at 2 o'clock. Tea will be served to the players. Mem- bers of the club and their friends have donated prizes and every effort is be- ing made to make this a large and successful affair. Among the assisting hostesses will be: Mrs. Robert McKisson, Mrs. George Chapman, Mrs. Gerald Burn- ham, Mrs. Peirce Ward, all of Win- netka; Mrs. T. P. Stanwood, Mrs. William S. Bennet, Mrs. Carol Jones, Mrs. E. D. Brigham, Jr, and Miss Grace Hall, of Evanston. Vassar college has long left the need of a Campus house where alum- nae, and the parents and friends of students, could stay, in easy access to college activities. To meet this need, two Vassar graduates gave the neces- sary money, and an attractive build- ing on a little hill across from the campus has been built and named Alumnae House. It now remains for the alumnae to furnish the house in a style commensurate with its archi- tectural beauty. ' The North Shore Vassar club has pledged a sum to equip one of the bedrooms. It will be furnished in Colonial style with some beautiful pieces of that period, and will be named in honor of Miss Julia Lathrop, one of Vassar's most distinguished graduates in the Middle West. Part of the requisite amount was raised by means of a rummage sale in Evans- ton last fall, and the club hopes to realize the remainder of the sum pledged, at this benefit bridge. --_---- Mr. and Mrs. Charles Byron of 768 Foxdale avenue and their little daugh- ter, Ann, are leaving on Saturday for Juppiter island, Fla.
