League of Women Workers Meets Need

hers was the first club for girls in
movement which has now become
national, and in New York City

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
