membership" This was the keynote
of the address.

tions to chosen philanthropies have
aggregated in excess of $1,000. The

where social service efforts are para

Gently been formed, and the initial
meeting of the Fall is to take the
form of an exhibit of art and handi-
craft by members. The French sec.

visited the Foundlings' Home, have
sewed at their meetings for the hospi-

and played in harmony under able
leadership. The social section has not

new members at monthly teas and has
aided materially the philanthropic
aims of the club.
The civic section has worked for
social service, has considered and
dealt with educational problems, health
in the home and legislation, and has
lndorsed seven resolutions, two of
which have been favorably acted upon
by the Legislature. It has studied in
ternational relations, believing in the
worth of better understanding be-
tween peoples. A course in parlia-
mentary law was also given.
The director has brought from her
county contacts many interests in the
county federation, and has emphasized
by word and act the desirability of
friendly intercourse between clubs,
officers and individuals. This thought
was also made plain in the suggestion
of the president that a spirit of
broader solidarity within the club
might be promoted by undertaking
lines of work for the good of the
community. Several worthy neigh
borhood causes, Immediately apparent,
need sponsoring by good citizens. A
closer relationship between the club
