Club Will Boost Capital.
The league was organized primarily
for the purpose of continuing and
perpetuating the work of women
writers and artists throughout the
world. but 1t Is believed a future
greater work is to be accomplished
by ii. and that the National Capital
will be given a new stand among
great cities by showing it can. as
never before. combine intellectual
forces with those of diplomacy and
politics, and thus establish a social
status inter-relating them all, and 1t
is felt that this new large spacious,
artistically fprnishoS club house, situ-
ated as it is in the most beautiful
section Of Washington, will be a lead
ing factor toward the accomplishment
of this end.

The league has determined to bring
out magazine devoted entirely to
the work of the pen. pencil and brush,
for which the league stands, and its
contributions will be drawn mainly

ton is to be called THE Penwoman."
The reelection of Mrs. Pearson to a

insures continued support of public
