URGES FANCY NAMES FOR
WOMEN'S CLUBS DROPPED,

New and wholly unnecessary soci-
cites with very attractive Names are
what DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, chair
man of the woman's committee of the
Council of National Defense, urges
women to avoid, in message addressed
to the state chairman of the committee.
THE tendency to multiply organiza-
tions,' she says, lis often due to the
fact that all people are thinking hare
with patriotic desire to be helpful and
TO bring to the service of the govern
ment every new idea that occurs To
them. Instantly they organize for
that purpose, without waiting to in
form themselves as to whether an
existing society is not better prepared
for the work, If the idea is a good
one"
The main purpose of DR.. Shaws
letter is TO call attention to the fun
damental purpose for which the
woman's committee was appointed
namely: To serve as a clearing hous1
for all woman's work and to CO.
ordinate all organizations of women;
to prevent duplication, overlapping
and unnecessary work, and to initiate
new activities as needs arise.
mo plan," says DR.. Shaw, has yet
been brought to the attention of the
womans committee which cannot be
better carried forward by some exist
ing department of the woman's COM
mittee than by a distinct and separate
organization having no government au-
thority.
The passion for forming new socie
ties tends to weaken and scatter our
efforts. We need to concentrate and
direct our energies upon the work :
mediately in hand.

The house was very prettily decor

games sat and did Red Cross sewing,
the CENTER piece on the large table
was a wonerful mass of flowers, with
blue violets for a center, grounded
by white narcissus, and red japoL-c cas-

After the games, delicious refresh
ments consisting of creamed ch.s ken
patties, salad, waters and iced tea,
were served at the various tables, the
plates being prettily decorated with
the wonderful violets which seem al
most to grow wild this year, there is
such wonderful profusion of them
everywhere.
The guests who had been invited to
spend the afternoon with the members
Of the club, were Mrs J. s. Roberts.
Mrs. John Sandusky, Miss Marguerite
