understand. No one denies woman the
right to progress with the country and
with the times Both are on the upward
trend, and it would be a poor advance
ment which would take i'm one sex and
omit the other. i will admit that some
women spend more time in clubs than
is consistent with the performance of
otner more pressing duties. Some men
do the same. but no one would dream Of
aDollshinS mems clubs because some
members abuse the privileges of them
or use them for their personal disad-
vantage.
'One need only look at the results of
numbers of women's clubs through the
country to agree that nearly all the
criticism is harsh and based on wrong
conclusions. The Federation of Women's
Clubs throughout the nation has gained
the highest praise from those who are
watching social economic development

worthy interests in promoting the spirit

lecturers on economics and the wide
science of housekeeping. To Judge from
the wrapt attention which the members
give and the numbers who attend this
