Wornen's Clubs

A MONG the most happily planned Of
N the Wednesday Morning clubs pro-
IA grams this year was that of yester-
day when a brief business meeting was
followed by an address by Mrs. Robert
j Burdette
Mrs. Frank E. Priors unusual executive
ability was evidenced again yesterday
when under her able leadership, large
amount of business was dispatched in
very short time. Among the questions
decided was the manner in which the club
birthday shall be observed The date falls
on January 26. but as this is Sunday the
celebration will take place either few
days before or the week following, and
will take the form of a chicken dinner,
with the husbands of the club members
as guests of honor.
The reception that was planned for
Mrs H L. Britt on her return from the
east has been postponed indefinitely as
the date on which she is to leave has
not yet been decided. There will be no
meeting of the executive board until the
second Tuesday in January, and the mu-
sic section will not meet during that
month. The next board meeting is set
for the first Wednesday In February. On
some date in February yet to be selected

the movement for a new and beautiful
Los Angeles such as was outlined by
Charles Mulford Robinson and the Civic
|association
piano solo rendered by Miss Irvine
formed prelude to the informal ad-
dress by Mrs. Burdette. which she called
a heart to heart talk" and the subject
of which was THE All-around Woman
In opening her address the speaker said
that some years ago when the clock of
women's clubs struck the hour hand
pointed to personal improvement and the
minute hand to the study of literature,
etc. Today, when the clock is striking 12
the hour hand points to altruism and
the minute hand flies past to sociological
and philanthropic questions.
"In studying the all-around woman,
she said, ut Is necessary to eliminate all
tangent women; there are the home tan
gent women whose lines never reach be-
yond the daily routine of household du-
ties; the church tangent woman who
needs to learn that life holds other in
terests beside the regular church services;
the woman of the social tangent whose
hours are filled with bridge and poker.
and that woman who is growing to be an
exception-the woman who feels that she
must find her keenest interests In life
outside her home"
Mrs. Burdette's all-around woman, the
ideal woman who is the center OF the
ideal home, tallles with Solomon's ideal
as told in the last chapter of Proverbs.
The circle Of her life is so wide that 1t
touches all interests and is infused with
that divine gift of sympathy that feels
with people and not for them. She is a
woman of ideals-ideals formed by study
of those two Indispensable books, the
book of nature and the Bible; she has
strong dominant spiritual life which
served as the golden thread on which all
the priceless jewels of life are strung
and without which she would lose the
poise of serene womanhood.
This woman of the twentieth century.

For Russian Peasants

Club women are interested in the ex-
hibition of Russian laces and embroideries
that is being made this week at the home

personal superintendent of Madam Vera
de Blumenthal. Assisting are Miss
Frances Wills, Mrs. Clara w. Cries, Mrs.
II. M. Ross of Los Angeles, Mrs. r. w.

Pasadena.
The exhibit is for the benefit Of the
peasant women of Russia, and the work
shown was sent to Madame Blumenthal
by an association of women of the Rus
sian nobility, of which she is member.
This beautiful handiwork Is the natural
art expression of the Russian women.
who for years have sold their work for a
mere pittance to the middlemen. who in
turn have delivered it to the dealers at a
greatly increased price. Wives and
daughters of the mobiles who have vast
estates come In close touch with these
poor women, and gather them in the
schoolhouses which serve as clubs, and
there teach them new stitches and intro
duce them to the new ideas and ma
terials, afterward trying to send their
work direct to the large dealers. This
effort to protect the peasant women has
resulted in returning to them an increase
of over 40 per cent profit, and also in
placing articles of superior workmanship
and great beauty in the hands of Ameri-
can women. Princess Tenisheff is at the
head of the Russian association. The
photograph of Miss Costello was taken in
holiday costume of the Russian peasan-
try dress of remarkable beauty both as
TO coloring and weave of fabric.

like the woman of Solomon's day, looks
well to the ways of her household: she
has an all-around business knowledge in
regard to the value of foodstuffs, she is
posted on sanitation, domestic science
and sociological questions, and under
stands not only how to provide the best
for minimum outlay, but also how to
prevent waste.
Sympathy is the keynote of the all
around woman in the home; the all
around church woman Is not so concerned
with getting people into the church and
into heaven, as with helping get the vi
tai principle of Christ and godliness into
the sin-sick and sad; the all-around So
ciety woman Is she who has been able
to find the correct attitude toward life
and to keep it, the all-around woman is
not one but all of these, and taking
her life in her own keeping goes forth;
not thoughtlessly but with reverence,
with a passion for truth and with ideals
which she has the courage to maintain.
