The most Significant event in the

and members of the staff have been
invited. Invitations will necessarily be
limited to the members of the Los An
geles, Pasadena, Pomona, Compton,
Sunland Long Beach Redcndo, lngle-
wood and La Crescenta chapters; also
to visiting members from other cities.
The policy of the Los Angeles chap
ter will be strict observance of the
creed of the American Womans 5
league, mo fines, fees, dues or assess
ments" When the chapter entertains,
no committee of members Will be re-
quested to serve in the Kitchen that
many may feast in the parlor; nor Will
anyone be taxed to bake cake or brew
tea.
Women are weary of incessant de-
mands made by organizations. As one
member Vehemently exclaimed, Il have
baked cakes all my life, and If l have
to cook for the American Woman's
league 1 will not join it,"
To keep faith with this principle
members are invited to bring a sand
wich If they desire tc break their fast.
The most fascinating book that will
be found in the library of the Los An
geles chapter house is the little auto
graph book now being written by the
members who visit the chapter house.
The joy of possession is like new wine,
and there is a full realization of what
The Herald contest has brought the
Los Angeles chapter, which now holds
the double honor of being the largest
and richest chapter in the United
States.
