CuUBWOMEN AS HOUSEkEEPERS

Mrs. Percy V Pennybacker, presi- dent of the General Federation of Women's clubs, since her installation in office has travelled much through the United States, getting acquainted with club problems. Among her oD- servations is the fact that club wo- men are good housekeepers. Mrs. Pennybacker says:
 Tn travelling about the country what impresses me most deeply is the fact that the majority Of the club-women into whose homes l go are good housekeepers and home makers. In my eyes, home making is woman's first duty. but l find that club women are good citizens as well as good home makers. They realize that home making now ey- tends beyond the four walls of a wOman's own house.
 "The most hopeful feature of club life is the fact that women have discovered one another. have learned to admire one another, and have become able to do team work. Club women possess a fine spirit toward each other.
 Just now my ideal for the gener' al federation is to see it brings UT ban and rural women into closer re- lationship as part of the wider ideal understanding between women of all classes of American life. And l am deeply interested, too, in the effort to introduce into club life the younger generation
