WOMEN MAY RUN
HOTELSAND CLUBS

LONDON, Jan. 19.-There Is one
branch Of service which is. going to
make a big call on woman labor.
Hitherto oneSof the least exploited
fields of service for women is in ho-
tells and clubs. Before the war this
field was monopolized by aliens, but
many Of them will never be permit
ter to return to 1t, and it is certain
that hotel and club managers will
avail themselves gladly Of women's
labor to meet the demands OF their de-
pleted stats.
Even in'the most conservative clubs
women have replaced men so success
fully during the war there is little
doubt that their services will be re-
tanned as Mattresses, bookkeepers, and
interpreters.
Several hotels have been managed
entirely by women during the war.
and patrons of these hotels have de-
clared that they never received bet
ter service.
Running a hotel is very much like
running a household on a large scale,
and so women here find themselves in
a proper setting. This field will en-
brace many types and many classes OF
women. There are positions ranging
from scullery maid to manager.
Hotel keeping is an art which takes
years to master, and woman's expert
ence in household management will
go far toward making her efforts a
success from the outset. Women can
enter this field Of labor without any
loss OF dignity.
Drunkenness in first-class clubs and
hotels is a thing almost unheard of
and a woman faces no more tempta-

Two Local Favorites
| Soon To Sail For France.

Two unusually popular Washington
girls. Nancy Gordon Jones and Kath-
crime Andrews, daughter of Brig. Gen
and Mrs. George S. Andrews, are
members of the unit which is sailing
shortly to do canteen work in France
under the wing OF the Y. II. c. A. The
two girls attended the conference"
at Barnard College, which is a nee
essary preliminary to overseas service
with the "Y" nowadays, and then
! came home to say good-by to their
families.
When Nancy left town on Thursday
she wasn't sure whether she was to
sail from New York or from Boston !:
but she expects to go direct to the
Y. NJ. c. 4. headquarters in Paris,
whence she will be detailed to a can
teen somewhere in France. In view
OF the fact that the "Y." among other
organizations, is coming in for criti-
cism in some quarters these days, 1t
is interesting to know that both Gen
eral Pershing and Andre Tardieu high
commissioner of France to the United
States, have cabied the powers that
be asking to have 1900 girls sent
over for work in the Y. NJ. c. A. can
teens. 1t is in response to this call
that the present unit Is being dis
patched, and others will follow in due
course.
Nancy Jones. who is a daughter OF
MT. and Mrs. A. Gordon mes. would
seem to be especially well fitted for
this sort of work, and I imagine
that's one reason her appointment
was pushed through in rather a
hurry. She's an amusing. clever girl.
with a gift for repartee, and she's
not in the least afraid OF hard work.
Moreover. in the last two or three
wears she has had experience which
should prove Of great value to her.
She worked for months with the
civilian relief committee of the Red
Cross, and later was government in
spector for the housing committee.
She has also done yeoman service
with the Girls Friendly Society.

much valuable time was lost in the
effort to teach it's workers overseas

landed in France; and SO, in co-opera

From early morning until late at

quently helping behind the counter.
Nancy Jones has hosts OF friends in
Washington and her going will leave
decided gap. Katherine Andrews
will also be much missed. The
Andrews are Cleveland people origin
ally, l believe, but they have been
much in Washington, as army people
are wont to be. and Miss Andrews
made her debut here several seasons
ago. Now that General Andrews Is
retired. I understand they expect to
make their home here permanently.
Among the interesting events on
the February calendar is the benefit
for the Catholic Home for Aged
Ladies. which will be held at

New Girl Diplomat
Eagerly Awaited.

The arrival of Miss Gerda Anderson,
clever and-from her photographs
an amazingly pretty young woman. to
be secretary of the Danish legation in
Washington is an event of consider
able interest. for diplomats of the
feminine persuasion have been rather
rare birds. To be sure, numerous
women have been employed in the va
rious embassies and legations in
clerical positions and as minor secre-
taries. But to date, If memory serves,
Miss Violet Erskine is the only wom-
an who has had the distinction OF
having her name duly inscribed in
the diplomatic list in her own right.
She was listed as ono of the secre-
taries of the British embassy when
the late Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice
was ambassador. She still figures in
the diplomatic list, but under the
name of Mrs. Seymour. and by virtue
of the fact that she is the wife of
Horace Seymour. third secretary of
the embassy. Her marriage to Mr..
Seymour took place at the British
embassy perhaps year and a half or
two years ago.
