WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 13 Prominent Local Women Will Direct Dorcas Home HREE Winnetka women were elected officers of the Dorcas Home society of Deerfield, at a recent meeting of the Board of Direc- tors. They are Mrs. C. L. Weeks, 861 Lincoln avenue, president; Mrs. S ; Simpson, 725 Walden road, first vice- president; and Mrs. Archibald Lynne, 143 Fuller lane, second vice-president. Other officers of the society are Mrs. Eugene Miller of Highland Park, cor- responding secretary; Mrs. Perry Eade, Evanston, recording secretary, and Mrs. Walter G. Blake, treasurer. Miss Anna Jane Ardiss, who originated the home, has been retained as superintendent since its inception. Dorcas Home is an orphanage for children, 45 having been cared for dur- ing the year 1923. About ten children have been dismissed from the home, some to relatives, and two older boys have been satisfactorily placed on a ranch in Dakota. : North shore organizations and indi- viduals are among the donors for gifts to the home. The most important ad- dition to the equipment was the com- pletion of the isolation ward. It has been completely furnished, including shades, curtains, infirmary beds, linen, blankets and spreads. One of these beds was the gift of Mrs. Robert Cluett of Winnetka, and four were given by the Dorcas auxiliary of Evanston. Other gifts of the auxiliary were two dozen wool blankets, seventy towels and wash- cloths, new bed linens, a sewing machine and some new garments, amounting in all to over $300. The Walden Road circle of Winnetka made and gave the home thirty comforters and four dozen new dining room chairs, besides some garments. Garments were also contributed by the East Elm street, Indian Hill and Scott avenue circles of Winnetka, and by the Needlework Guilds of Evanston and Highland Park. The annual Thanks- giving donation of the Glencoe Union Sunday school was larger this year than previously and was augmented by other food donations from the public schools of Evanston, Ravinia, and Highland »ark. The Community Kitchen of Ev- ~nston has continued frequent donations of food and baked goods; and the Hub- bard Woods bakery has also made fre- quent donations. The Washington laun- dry of Evanston has for the past six years continuously donated from 40 to 60 pounds of flat work weekly free of charge. The report shows that $1,054.54 was expended on the completion of the isola- tion ward this year in addition to $584 spent on its beginning last year. Two cash gifts of $100 each were received from friends of the home in addition to the regular cash contributions and sub- scriptions by which the home is sup- ported. Other substantial gifts were al- so received. ---- The Woman's society holds its first meeting for February in the newly finished rooms of Community House. A full and attractive program has been planned for both morning and afternoon. For those who come at ten o'clock there will be plenty of sewing on garments for several mis- sions in the city and elsewhere. A devotional service by Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty will be followed by a pre- sentation of Colonial Sketches, in cos- tume, by Mrs. Pauline Fillis, assisted by Miss Jessie Wayland.
