GIRL WHO EXCELS IN SPORTS
Miss Catherine Re Qua of Chicago Has Won Many Trophies Throughout the U. S. Chicago.—Miss Catherine Re Qua. one of the most popular leaders of the younger set, has returned from the east, where she made preparations for entering several tennis and golf tournaments. To her belongs the distinction, perhaps, of holding more athletic trophies than any other young woman in Chicago. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Re Qua, 3639 Grand boulevard, and made her debut into South Side club and social circles last November. Miss Re Qua graduated last June from Farmington, where she led the school in a majority of field sports, winning many national honors.
Tennis and golf are her specialties. She has won seven loving cups in tournaments on the eastern coast On the clay courts at Cape Cod Miss Re Qua has carried off the honors for. three successive seasons. Miss Re Qua also has one of the finest collections of sport trophies in Chicago. A large silver cup won at a golf mpet in the White mountains was presented to her by Charles Barnes of New York in 1907. Two sterling cups, one an exact copy of a United States
hunting cup. were added to her collection by R. G. Garden, father of Mary Garden, the grand opera star. Miss Re Qua is the granddaughter of Luther Haven, a pioneer of Chicago and a well-known political factor of the state before the Civil war.
