the beautiful green golf course OF tha
Nilnif gton Country Club on Monday, the
club women gathered on Mrs. Iharies
Warmers attractive lawn IN Wawaset
Park ncarby heard very broad-minded
and inspiring appeal from their chief
executive Mrs Winters discourse was
in no wnv marrcd by tho strain of speak
ING out-of-doors. Rather she seemed to
enjoy tho oportunity presented by the
mellow beauty of the fall day to give TO
svmpathic listeners the thoughts more or
less inspired by the occasion.
Mrs. Winter claim on her New Century
audience antcdatcs her recent election to

tcrcst which resulted in the establishment

IDENTIFY she is kcenly sensitive to the rising
pressure ti NbTttn nliAFhNff 10
pressed politically through the widely
popular club means of Americanization
work and education generally. She COM
prchcnds the power Of concerted political
action and cautioned her hearers against
any less than national thinking. Not to
begin citizenship by dancing on vol
cano Of petty ISSUES was her plea.
Mrs. Winter said great leaders are es-
scntials and n great understanding OF
leadership not less needed. Deplorlnp
present the confusion of social standards
she told a charming story of visit her

she was a child TO find the poet Long
fellow busy peeling the apples for the
evening refreshments of apples and GIN
gcrhrcad. Nowadays she declared, peoples
ideas OF society are mixed. Society
u a state of mind, not a division into
castles. The woman who refuses social
opportunities because she has less money
than her contemporaries is acting a
foolish part.
