BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL w0@EM OF
GREAT FALLS HAVE STRONG ORGANIZATION

One of the most interesting wom-
ems organizations in Montana has
come into existence in Great Falls
during the past six months. 1t is the
Business and Professional Wemen's
club of that city, which has expand
ed from a membership of 16 to los.
Twice a month it's members meet at
a luncheon during the noon hour, and
arrangements are now under way to
secure suitable club rooms, where the
business and professional women of
the city may meet to visit, rest or
read during their leisure hours.
The club soon developed personal
ity and decided characteristics. one
of the most remarkable being its
ability to begin promptly and close
promptly. Any girl who attends the
fortnight1y luncheons knows that she
will be able to return to her office
at l o'clock without having to leave
in the middle of the luncheon or be-
fore it has hardly begun.
From so to 80 alert women assem-
BILE on alternate Thursday moons in
the palm room at Hotel Rainbow to
discuss the business of their club and
listen to talks on matters of current
interest by prominent business men
of the city. Once a month there is
a social evening. At least that has
been the program followed by the
club up to the present time.
The club has declared its aim in
very general terms as for the good
the community.
In the words of their constitution
are a group of business and pro-
fessional women banded together ito
promote and protect the interest of
in the professional, industrial
md civic world; to encourage women
o greater effort; to develop efficien-
~ in the more important activities
