| i rl November 21, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 11 Voters' League Notes || The entire membership of the Win- netka League of Women Voters has been invited by the Woman's society of the Congregational church to its December 2 meeting, when Mrs. Katherine Waugh McCulloch is to speak. Mrs. McCulloch is a well known Chicago lawyer and has long been prominent in women's club work of many kinds. She lives in Evans- ton. The meeting will take place at 2 o'clock at Community House. Mrs. John Vander Vries of Win- netka was sent last week by the Illi- nois League of Women Voters to speak at the open meeting of the Jerwyn League of Women Voters at Berwyn, Ill. Mrs. Vander Vries told a little of the history of the origin of the league, the league's purposes, and the work accomplished by it. The card party given by the Win- netka League of Women Voters filled the Woman's club Thursday after- noon, November 12. Forty tables were set out and all were taken. The forty prizes were of great charm and variety, including candle sticks, Italian vases, a silk umbrella, candles, and station- ery. Mrs. Isaac Rothschild, chairman of the committee on arrangements, was assisted in the serving of re- freshments by Mrs. John Vander Vries, Mrs. Austin Jenner, and Miss Elizabeth Gemmell. The reading given by Mrs. Burton Hanson at the home of Mrs. Hath- away Watson, was also very well at- tended. Altogether $250 was raised for the league, so that the officers ex- pect that the rest of the money needed to meet the league's budget can ships. The drive for these member- ships is being conducted by the finance committee of which Mrs. Austin Jen- ner is chairman. Art Patrons Encourage Interest in Local Work Curtis B.
