Club Notes

The League of American Pen
ing decided to issue the first num-
Der of its new magazine, The Pen
woman, in April.
A business meeting of the mag
azine committee was held last Mon
day to begin active work gettify
the magazine into print at once.
The publication of this magazine,
which is to be a quarterly, has bee n
postponed several times. owing to
the unsettled condition of the print
ers' unions.
The demand from outside members
OF the league for the magazine has
been so great that the decision to
issue it Immediately was reached.
The issuing of this magazine will
be another great step In the growth
OF the league under Mrs, Isaac Pear
sons administration.
The first step was the organiza-
tfon for war work. Through Mrs
Pearson, as national president. the
services Of the league were offered
at the beginning of the war to the
government and she led in all the
work which followed and not only
attracted the attention of America.
but our allies, to the splendid work
done.
The second steP was the stab
lishment of a clubhouse and head
quarters. The money for this wr-
raised last spring by the Authors
Carnival ball, and the clubhouse
formally opened in June.
All OF this work brought new
members. and the next great move
ment was the organization of new
auxiliaries OF the league In many
cities. Mrs. Pearson personally or
sanized and attended, the formal
opening of two OF these this last
season. In November she attended
