A few days ago warden entered a

THE WOMAN'S CLUB

IT HE Importance for the business
Il or professional woman of be-
longing TO a club is a real one. Wom-
ems work both in business and the
professions is still in fluid condition.
Changes are in progress. new stand
ards are being established. and the
effect of the vote is being felt. TO
get the benefit of these changes a
woman needs 10 know what is being
done in her special neighborhood and
by her group of workers. There is no
better way of doing this than by Join
ing a club. especially a club affiliated
with the Federation of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
1t is not only the direct contact
with other women working I'm your
own field that benefits you In such
club but the contact with women
in other branches. With that comes a
widening of opportunity. The woman
not happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club ac-
quaintances and club activities. She
is constantly aware of what is going
on, and she sees what is being done
by other women. Together with them
she can direct her effort to putting
through proposed schemes for better
ing the standing of women earners
A good business club for women is
an asset 10 any community. II there
is no such club in your community.
start one. Get the other women to-
gether get in touch with the fetler-
alton, and start your club. II Will be
an assistance 20 every business and
p fessional woman in your town.
