UTILITY IN THREE PURP P0SES LIFE OF CLUB EFFORT.
Unity of organization. Unity of purpose. Unity of spirit

Advocating these aims for club Miss Florence Bartlett of Chicago in an address before the Business Girls club at the Woman's club last evening, advanced the reasons for her sugges- tion. Declaring that the war was plac- ing greater and greater responsibility upon women, the speaker urged that women be ready to meet the demands placed upon them.
 Such an organization as yours can give you larger opportunities to be of influence and real service individually and collectively if you will keep upper most in mind the great aim of unity" she said.
 Her remarks on the Aims of Busi- ness Girls Club" followed her lecture on trip which she took through north ern Africa The lecture was far re- moved from the stereotyped travelogue, Miss Bartlett having the happy faculty of combining interesting facts with pleasing personal incidents that oc- cured during the course of her. journey | that gave the talk a delightfully."- re- l freshing note. The colored stereoptcon slides which were used in illustration were collected by Miss Bartlett on her travels. She appeared in costume.
 At the conclusion of her well re- ceived talk she spoke to the business girls as follows:
 For number of yearsI have been very closely connected in Chicago with some large clubs for business women called The Eleanor clubs, and it is be- cause of this association with them that l am genuinely interested in the prog ress of your own Business Girls clut here in Phoenix. I can see great pos abilities for you in the future for have watched our own down. towr business club in Chicago grow from 8 very small and insignificant organiza- tion to it's present membership of over 1900 and to wide influence in civic life.
 | I wish that I might point out to yoI in a few words the splendid aims tha you may achieve within your own or ganization. Today it is the men an( women in industry who are the req and important factors in the world. progress. The idle woman and the SO called society girl are not the ones wht commands respect and honor today It is rather the girl who is at work The girl who works with ambition fo | achievement.
 The war is placing and will plac
 
 upon women, and we need to be read to meet them. Such an organization as yours can give you larger opportuni ties to be of influence and real servic individually and collectively if you vii keep uppermost in mind the great air of unity.
 First, I believe that your club shoul have unity of organization. In ou own Central Eleanor club in Chicag we have the woman who employs 100 young women in one firm enjoying tn club privileges side by side with tn little girl who is just starting out i the industrial world. It is this yer coming together the welding of jus these different elements that makes club strong and that hroadens an strengthens individual members. M suggestion to you would be that, a you grow, make your circle larg enough to include different types ( self-supporting girls rather than to di vide into smaller circles, for in unity, believe, is strength.
 Secondly, have unity of purpose Tn great watchwords that our club ha taken are service and love-" coul these be greater? Unite here if you vii with the great purpose to have you
 
 that 1t can in this time of war stres By coming together for war work fc Knitting or serving and inviting { those meetings outsiders to speak o stimulating subjects you will accom plish more than you could individuall Tor again l repeat, in unity is strengtl
 The last and greatest, perhaps, the three aims that I would preseI to you is unity of spirit. By that mean not only the genuine comrade ship that necessarily exists where thel IS unity in organization and unity one great purpose but also, unity , spirit means an inspired enthusiasts that is ever ready to grapple with u social and economic problems that al presented to such a club as yours ar to endeavor to solve them intelligent
 At home our business clubs now al recognized as power and often the are called upon by civic leaders to Ter their influence to measures for tf public good. That is the aim toward which I would have you work, to . strengthen the unity within your ow organization that it may be able render affectual service, service tn; is true and service that is noble in tn
