There is no doubt but that the Wom
ans Club of Melwood District has goo'
constructive work to do that will be
help to some woman now living II
Prince Georges County. for move
ment has been inaugurated by some OF
the most influential women in Clut
life in MARYLAND, that will, it is expect
ed, result in a scholarship being placed
at the disposal of Prince Georges
County.
Ross Crane. of Chicago, member of
the Chicago Art Institute, and one of
| the recognized authorities in America
on Decoration, especially as applied
to the beautifying of the home, is be-
ing engaged to deliver series of lee
lures on "How to bring Art into the
Home" Not into the house alone, but
into the environment as we'll, which is
| as necessary as to have more than one
room in perfect keeping and taste.
The State University at College Park
is the center of this movement and all
the Women's Clubs will be enlisted, not
only in our own Prince Georges Coun-
ty, but Montgomery County, and
Washington City too, and scholarship
from each will mean three women
will be brought into fuller knowledge
of what Home Economics mean as a
means Of bettering her home.
HoIou of tho rnnI1lQ-
tion of the the United States is with
out home, for living in hotel or a
boarding house can scarcely be called
living i'll one home. In the country,
where every influence should be finer
and higher one, too often the attention
is diverted from the study of way to
a way to make home beautiful, to
way to earn enough money to buy more
and finer clothes, losing sight of the
fact that the finer the clothes, the
more out of place they will be in a
home that has not been kept in fashion
or repair, as to furnishings. The waste
Of good material in almost every coun-
try home is appalling. A fuller know
ledge of how to use even bits of almost
any fabric, which is now thrown away,
will help not only to stop this waste.
but will make it an impossibility to
disregard the other needs of a room
which has received small evidence of
care, a rug, a neatly covered sofa
cushion, or maybe only we'll made
band to hold back the simple muslin
curtain.
This knowledge is taught in our own
University at College Park. A schol-
arship to be competed for under proper
conditions, will bring to the fortunate
women, knowledge that will not only
make.her own life fuller, but will stretch |
out to bless other lives.
The entire proposition will be laid be-
fore the Womans Club of helwood
District at its next meeting, which |
will be at the home Of Mrs.
John Ridgely ION May 3rd, at which |
meeting it is expected there will be |
number of new members as we'll as a
fuller attendance of the present men,
bers.
A correction must be made of the /!
statement as to days when it will be GER
tain the Librarian will be at home, to |
give out books. Wednesday it was
stated is the day not to come, but the
exact reverse is the case. Wednesday
is the only day when members can be
certain to find the Librarian at her
home, altho' should they desire books
on other days, it will only be necessary
to call her on the ph. ne to find out
from her if it will be possible to take
out books
Wednesday, therefore, is Library
