Winn. 2048 HOSPITAL DRIVE ON Monday Set for Start of $500,000 Building Fund Campaign for Women and Children's Hospital Starting Monday, February 7, the drive for the $510,000 Women and Children's Hospital of Chicago, will be underway throughout Chicago and the vicinity. Dr. Margaret N. Levick of 590 Lincoln avenue, is branch com- mander for Winnetka whose quota is $10,000, and the North Shore towns, | Evanston, and Glencoe. Under her supervision a corps of lieutenants and workers are canvassing people in the villages for donations to go toward the splendid cause of a hospital specializ- ing in the treatment of women's and children's diseases. In addition to the list of workers published a week ago should be added the Evanston group, captained by Mrs. Edward L. Jones, and Miss Edna True, and having Miss Alicia Pratt, Mrs. Henry G. Baker, Mrs. George Whipple, Mrs. John Strickler, Miss Gertrude Gladwin, Miss Elizabeth Hadden and Mrs. Peter C. Ludkin as workers. Aside from the canvassing being done, the Cherry street circle are giving a benefit card party, Friday, February 11, at 2:30 o'clock at the Community House, for the fund. The North Shore Catholic Women's league have also contributed a substantial amount for the cause. The hospital, which was founded in 1865 by Dr. Mary Thompson, the sec- ond woman physician to practice in Chi- cago, published a most interesting re- port in 1866, which is valuable for comparison today. In that year "the hospital boasted of fourteen beds, and gave medical and surgical aid to 543 patients during the year." "At this time there were only two hospitals in Chicago--the Marine Hos- pital, where no women were cared for, and the Mercy Hospital, conducted by the Mercy nuns. The close of the Civil War had left so many destitute widows and orphan children that it was possible, even at that time when the prejudice against women physi- cians was at its height, for Dr. Mary Thompson, a little newcomer, to act- ually establish the first Protestant Hospital and the only hospital for women in the city of Chicago." The article, which appears in "The Medical Woman's Journal" for Janu- ary 1927, goes on to say, "All women, both lay and professional, should be interested in making the Women's Hospital of Chicago a great and fitting memorial to the finest type of women physicians that Chicago has ever known." To Held View Day at Art Institute Feb. 15 Mrs. Franklin Anderson of 910 Spruce street, is -in charge of tickets for the Annual View Day of the Art Institute, which is given by the Tues- day Art and Travel club Tuesday, February 15, at 10 o'clock at the Art Institute. The tour is conducted by Pauline Palmer who gives a very in- teresting talk on the pictures. This is followed by luncheon in the Wedge- wood room of Marshall Field's. Field's then puts on a style show of the latest works of art. There will be music and a delightful program in ad- dition. Anyone interested is asked to call Winnetka 560. For those not familiar with the pur- pose of this club and Annual View day, it has several good purposes. It awards a scholarship to two young people at the Art Institute, and every year it buys a picture to be presented to one of the schools. Last year the Gonsalves school was given a fine painting.
