nation relative to vocational oppor-

The second annual convention of
the national organization took place
July, 1920, in the palm room of the
st. Paul hotel of st. Paul, MINI.
Concerning this second convention
of business and professional women
the comments of two well known ma
gaines are interesting. Says Good
housekeeping.
1.-THE past decade has witnessed as
great an advance in woman's place in
business as politics. To stabilize her
position and to further increase her
authority, 500 members of the Ma
tional Federation of Business and
Professional Women met in St. Paul
a few weeks ago. More than SO pro-
fessions and many thousand women
We're represented at the second con-
vention of the federation and more
than one popular mis%conception was
severely scotched.
ga composite picture of the bust
ness woman as she appeared at st.
Paul is eye-opening. The first i'm
preston is n of intense good
health. Where is the fragile lady of
yesteryear? In her place is a radiant
creature with good physique, strong,
clear eyes and splendid vitality. She
Is filled to the brim with the zest of
and victory, for the successful
business woman has come off victor
in many a fight. She is intelligent
and thinks clearly and forcefully.
She speaks and acts with authority,
because she has learned how to han
die money, other women, and above
all herself.
Essentially Human
"She is essentially human and as
proud of her ability to make and
keep a home as any masculine bread
could be. She serves in the
chamber of commerce, the last
held by the business man,
she is director of many banks, and
she confers with city officials on
L hiaafC r01ofiua 70 hor I,,os,o11 49,
to the city's welfare. She
1eals with bankers and brokers and
on the financial committees of
community. In a word she is a
of affairs. And there were
800 of her at the st. Paul meeting"
1t is interesting to know that the
treat Falls Business Women's club
las a charter membership in the ma {
fOnal federation. In 1917 a bust s
less women's club was started in con-
lection with the Young Women's &
christian association. When the first |
lational convention was held, Miss /
Brown, the secretary of the Y. W., {
vas In st. Louis and attended the /
invention as a representative from Z
treat Falls. The Great Falls club is e
he only one In the state to have the
distinction of a charter member d
hip in the national organization.
,ast autumn when the club was re- O
rganized it severed its connection q
