The particular accomplishments
Of Business Women's clubs will vary
according to their location and sur
roundlngs," she explained. The
ultimate goal OF a club cannot be
put into specific words on that ac-
count. But that organization which
operates, not for the personal sat-
isfaction Of its members. but for
the good of the community is taking
a far step toward the rank natur-
ally expected of it,"
Miss McClench is on her first visit
to Texas. Its vastness was the first
feature which impressed her. she
said. in comparison with the eleven
other states which she is visiting on
her present tour.

THAT club which successfully ac-

Is fulfilling the ultimate purpose Of
its organization"
So believes Marion McClench Of
Ann Arbor, Mich, national presi-
dent OF the Business and Profess
ional Women's clubs closing their
state convention in Brownsville to-
day. An alignment with the civic
interest of a clubs community is
inevitable for its proper discharge
Of duty, says Miss McClench, who
from her position as national presi-
dent, watches varied club activities,
and designates the interest Of pub
lie welfare the most important Of
