"Our College for Women is al

said, in speaking Of it. "Virginia,
Maryland, and California, all want

sesame, " the dean said, and she ex-
pressed her appreciation of the
cordiality experienced everywhere
in the State where she says she

Quaker habit Of conservation.
Mrs. Pennybacker in her address
on the General Federation as
Sociological Force reviewed the
origin of the present club life,
which originated from the develop
ment of the economic life Of Amer
lea. The first clubs were study
clubs, she said, and the members
considered or studied almost every
subject. These organizations as
individuals, assembled i'll Chicago
twenty some years ago, and that
was the beginning Of the present
Federation. Mrs. Pennybacker,
while talking of the struggle made
by the early clubs, said that credit
should be given where due, and
the pioneers Of the movement were
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the Suffragists.
What right has a woman in
Delaware to sleep tonight, even if
her own children are well when a
maiden is in danger from the white
slave or white plague evils ?" she
asked.
