Gertrude Robinson-Smith believes
.he girl who gets the worst deal
from the big city is the self-support-
ing girl of the middle class. She
says:
There are organizations supply
ing social recreation for girls not
self-supporting, and there are clubs
available for the rich. but the girl
away from home who makes a good
salary and can pay for what she gets
often finds she can't get much but a
boarding house"
Miss Smith has been selected by
the American Woman's Association,
Inc, to manage a campaign to raise
funds TO build a 7O0-room club house
where self-supporting women away
from home may live and have all the
comforts of home
Her plans include drive for
membership. resident and non-resl-
dent, and the floating of bonds to
finance the enterprise. The club
house is to be built in New. York.
but is to have accommodations for
business women from other cities.
The American Woman's Associa-
ton is the outgrowth OF the Vaca-
tlon Association which Miss Smith
organized eight years ago and put
on a self-supporting basis.
