At the Woman's Club.
Miss Helen Narick Boswell OF New
York, gave an interesting lecture be-
fore the members of the Noman's
Club yesterday afternoon on tho rather
inystfying subject. What the Day
Calls for." Her lecture was n running
survey of the pressing problems of to-
day whose solution can be greatly
fostered by the Intelligent interest of
the women of the country. Miss Bos-
well, who Is the chairman Of the In
dustriai and social conditions depart
rnent OF the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs. has au intimate
knowledge of these matters, and mas
the faculty of presenting conditions
and present needs in an attractive
manner. She was introduced py Mrs.
Christopher Tompkins.
Pure food laws and the part women
have played i'm procuring and enforcing
them were cited as one of the most
prolific fields for wolnen's interest.
Every woman owes II to her hus-
band" said Miss Boswell. ITO continue
To interest herself Ia procuring pure
commodities for the home" Immigra-
ton and. its many phases. especially
deportation were characterized by MISS
Boswell az one OF the greatest Tag-
edies in tho world, and she related n
number of pathetic incidents. calling
for a more rigid enforcement of the
present immigration laws. The dis
clssiun Of Immigration led to the ever
pertinent question Of capital and labor,
and here she struck a decided note OF
optimism in regard to the rapid strides
made by arbitration. The evils OF con-
tract prison labor and the educational
possibilities of moving pictures, hold
n rich harvest for wonen's interest,
according TO Miss Boswell. When we
hear OF legislation on industrial and
social matters ii behooves us TO be
interested, she concluded with addi-
tionai remark that such interest does
not involve tho question OF womans
suffrage.
The parlors were decorated with
vases of jonquiis. Mrs. Mamie r.
Ballard poured coffee and Miss Nan
ME Jonos and Mrs. Alexander SANDS
were at the tea table.
