The Junior League Of this city was
represented by Miss Jeanette
Thomas and Miss Alice Satlerthwaite
at the annual conference OF the Ma
iionai Junior League OF America held
last week Al St. Louis. Mo.
The first Junior League was organ
lied in New York City about fifteen
years ago and since that time chapters
have been formed In the Leading
cities throughout the country. In
the days when the FIRST league was
formed girls and young women were
not working In all the charitable Or
ganlzauOns as they do today. 10 was
to bring them TO a realization Of the
good That can be accomplished
through the promotion OF general
welfare work, that the Junior League
was formed.
These young women found that
there was more In life than a round
of frivolties and pleasure. SO, as each
girl IS presented TO society she be-
comes a member OF the league and
pledges herself 10 so many hours OF
work a day. Today practically every
league girl in this city and In other
cities is devoting part Of her time 10
some kind OF welfare. work.
The Junior League OF this city has
been IN many kinds % work since It's
Organization. During the war period
it's members were busy al Red Cross
and other forms OF patriotic work.
They supported a canteen in the
Jones building, Sfi Market street
where soldiers passing through the
city on motor trucks were entertained
during their brief stops. The work
was carried on under the auspices of
the American Red Cross. Beside, the
league has given financial help 10 the
Chhdren's Ward Of the Delaware Hos
pital and the Italian Settlement
House.
Their ''real Job" from now on will
be the entire support Of the house at
$50 kirkwood street which. through
the help OF many good friends, is TO
