at the experience meeting" of the
National League of Women Workers.
When the girl who told the story, a
slim little thing in a blue cotton dress,
sat down. Miss Jean Hamilton, the
general secretary of the league,
jumped to her feet.
THAT shows a finer sense of honor
have" she said. "A mans club in tho
same position woul have gone into
bankruptcy and let the creditors bear
the loss" 1t was the Halle club Of Nor
witch, Conn., that performed the finan-
cial feat. The club was formed by a
wealthy woman, who gave the girls a
club house, furnished 1t, and showered
as 1t pleased her caprice. Lots of them
didn't even "a their Dues said the
girl in the blue dress. Then one day
: we heard that the wealthy ]patroness
had become a Roman Catholic, and had
gone into a nunnery, and had left a
debt of $1,000 as a legacy to the club.
The girls had a meeting and decided
they would clear the club. They sold
the furnishings, which paid about half
the debt, and moved into much smaller
rooms. The weak ones began to fall
away about this time, so that from a
club of 500 members it became one of
fifty, but the fifty worked. They had
bazaars and whist parties, and one year
g last month, after two years and
four months of trying, they paid the
last of tina $1,000. Some time before
this they moved again, into a more
central location and better rooms, and
their place became celebrated as the
one where you could get the best feed
in Norwich. Thew also bought a. piano.
