"The greatest thing the war did
for the nursing profession was to
demonstrate that only the finest, best

League of Women Workers Meets Need

By WINIFRED DUNCAN WARD

BY WINIFRED DUNCAN WARD
I'm 1885 there existed in New

ganization called the Irene Club,
founded by Miss Grace Dodge,
whose name should be immortal, for
hers was the first club for girls in
movement which has now become
national, and in New York City
alone has, in 1919, membership of
$500.
This movement, which has
naturally grown with the growing
number Of girls who are independ
ent (and therefore without homes,
for the two seem to 60 together), is
called the New York League of
Women Workers, and its object is
to found clubs which the girls them
selves will maintain, and which will
give them an opportunity for some
sort Of social life and a head
quarters In which to conduct it.
There are offered the usual adj
vantages of vacation houses-danc-

is not because we do not think or

that we do not know how to be

we are too selfish to make it of our
