One of the most prominent club
women of the city is Mrs. Hampton l..
Story, whose photograph is reproduced
on this page. Mrs. Story is a member
of practically every club of prominence
in Los Angeles, Pasadena and Alta
dena where she has a beautiful home
in the foothills. Her interest is un-
failing and her endeaVor untirng.
Her. club work covers practically all
phases of club life, from the exclusive
Shakespeare club founded by Mrs
Kate Tupper Galpin on through vari-
Gus musical, artistic and charitable
associations. She is the president of
the Altadena Woman's club, and is a
member of the executive boards of five
local clubs, including the Woman's
Press club, the Friday Morning club,
the Symphony Orchestra association,
of which she was one of the founders
and organizers. She is also a life
member of the Ebell club and Friday
Morning club.
Gifted with great diplomatic endow
ments and well equipped with that
personal charm which comes from the
possession of deep human sympathy,
Mrs. Story Is a constant help to her
fellow club women, as we'll as those
younger, less, experienced persons, to
whom her kindly nature never refuses
comfort, advice or assistance. She is
particularly anxious to aid some of the
younger professional women, and it
was largely through this spirit that
her interest was attracted to the
Woman's Press club.
Herself a writer of some years ex-
perience, she knew the difficulties with
which the earlier, and some times the
later steps to success are beset, and
knowing that the Press club here was
interesting in establishing club home
where tired out or disheartened woman
writer's could go for the brief rest
which might fully restore their ex-
hausted vitality, she has associated
herself with it's members and is chair
man of the social committee.
Her fellow committee members in
clude Mrs. John w. Mitchell, Mrs.
Juana Neal Levy, Mrs c. c. William
son, Mrs. W. H. Housh and Mrs. Ada
Van Pelt
The social side of life in the Woman's
Press club is to be one of the important
features of the club work this year, as
the members feel that their gathering
together for social converse is quite
as prolific of helpful ideas as are the
more formal programs. tits confidently
expected that this years work in the
club will be one of the most remark
able in the history of the organization.
The number of new members Is grow
ing each week, and the absolute pro-
fessional qualifications demanded make
membership something to be especially
sought for.
Club meetings are to be held in the
Woman's club hbuse and the opening
program October II promises to be
especially interesting to those MEM
bers who are doing free lance work.
The subject which Miss Rose Ellerbe
will have for the first shop talk meet
ing will deal with the problem of find-
ing and establishing a market for work,
and several local writer's whose work
finds ready acceptance in the eastern
publications will give helpful sugges-
tions on this subject.
