The Woman's Club
OF
MeIlWood District

The Womans Club of Mellwood Dis
trict is very much in evidence at this
writing. In the W ashington papers, the
Washington Times has secured from
US the right to print a couple of recipes
each day, in : the Magazine Section of
the daily edition. This publicity has
already done asgreat ideal of good in
Washington for the Mellwood Cook
Book. 1t may seem a small thing to
many who have not happened to have
had experince in selling thousands of
any article, that an advertisement
could make such vast difference, but
it shows a human side to the great
mass of people, who want whatever
they see someone else has-and they
are shown that this thing is desirable
1t is the desire of the many tos have
any article, that makes advertising
such an art. We have but to think a
minute, to remember all the fortunes
that have been made, by advertising
some simple article.
An invitation has been sent to Mrs.
E. Brown, of Lanham, Md. the Coun-
ty Chairman of the Committee of Edu-
cation, to be present at the next regu-
lar meeting of the Club, which will be
at Mrs. Albert Ober's home on Febru-
airy 1st. Mrs. Brown has promised to
come if the roads are in such condition
that it will be possible to get over
them. This would seem to indicate
that the county roads even so near to
Washington are at times unpleasant
to travellers.
This next meeting of all the. Women's
Clubs in the County has been set aside
for the consideration of one subject
Education The solution of this problem
it seems is not near at hand, and it is
aiproblem, and must be solved, but
by many and not a few. 1t would
seem to demand some treatment that
would recognize standard of Excel
ence, Criterion, to which to work, in
systematic effort, and not as it now
seems, in the nature of an attack, with
out any sustained endeavor either to
determine the cause of the trouble, or
the reason for its continuance. 1t is
from desire to learn if there can any
solution be found, any tracing to causes
of the situation as it certainly exists
today, that this meeting has been set
aside for this one express purpose.
There is much interest shown in the
Library Tea, to be given by the mem
beers of the Club for the benefit of the
Club Library. AS no money is to be
received and each visitor is to bring at
least one book, it would seem that the
tea will be very informal, and will re-
fleet the atmosphere of the Club.
Mrs. Bowie has kindly placed her
parlors at the disposal of the Club
for the benefit of those visitors from
Washington who have accepted the in
vitation to the tea. There will be a
card posted on the gate, to show them
where the tea is being held.
Since the Mellwood Cook Book ha 8
come into recognition, and has been
placed on sale in the large shops the
statesmen all report desire on the part
of almost everyone who comes to see
and buv the Cook Book, where is
Mellwood?" Perhaps we shall yet live
to see even the smallest maps marked
with the name of Mellwood!
During this past week, no less than
three of the large papers in Washing
have asked for particulars as to the
officers and m embership of the Wo-
mans Club of Mellwood District. They
too, have asked, Gust Where Is Nell
wood?". A great philosopher has said,
eff one have a Great thought, the
world will make pilgrimage to that
door, tho it be in the desert. Mellwood
Is far from being as difficult to reach
as the desert, and 1t HAS Great Idea
to have the first Woman's Club House
in this State. A place where women
may meet and discuss those things that
need to be readjusted. We will have
many come to us, to learn how they
too may do, whatever Is to be done.
