Henrotin formerly president Of the Gen
eral Federation, which is of interest to
m emberS of the Woman'S Club OF Rich
mond. Last winter there was quite, a
discussion as to whether the Richmond
Club would enter the General Federation,
and the color line was touched upon. On
this subject Mrs. Henrotin writes as fol-
lows:
Though it is difficult to express an
that reorganization on State lines would
North, South, East or West would oppose
lowed to decide regarding the eligibili-
sty of the clubs which apply for men,
bcrship and the delegates sent by the
State. 1t would be impossible to put into
the constitution the word white for
many States which are practically oppos-
ed to admitting clubs composed of color
ed women would not consent to limit the
constitution OF the General Federation
by introducing such a qualification as
white would imply.
We have in this country a great So
cial problem to solve in the race ques-
ton. 1t required great courage for
bearance and kindness on both sides
F'o- the present some compromise must
be adopted which will leave each State
free to select the character of the clubs
