JUNIOR LEAGUE
WORK OUTLINED
Mrs. Theodore P. NoyeS Re-
views Plans for Sale at
JeIIeff'S Tuesday.

An outline of the history of the
Junior League Of washington and its
plans for taking over Jelleff's Depart
ment Store on street for day, Tues
day, we're outlined by Mrs. Theodore P.
NoyeS in an address over radio station
WNfAL last night.
For the aid rendered at Jelleff'S, the
Junior League is to receive 10 per cent
Of the gross receipts for the day, to be
devoted to social service work at Chill
dren's Hospital, which the league has
recently undertaken.
Describing Tuesdays venture, Mrs.
Noyes said:
"Sixty sales girls of the league will
take their places behind the counters to
assist the regular sales force in dis
penSing all manner of merchandise.
Seven models, likewise Junior League
members, will stage an informal fash
ion review, in which all the latest and
smartest in ladies' wear will be ex-
hibited. The hours for the informal
fashion show will be from IL to in
the forenoon and 8 to 6 in the after
noon and more than Is hosteSSes from
the league will be on hand to greet
customers in the store and assist in any
way that may be necessary. All league
girls will have q badge to distinguish
them from the regular sales force;
yellow Junior League badge upon which
their names will be printed. Inc
hosteSSes will have flowers Pinned TO
their frocks in addition to the badges.
Aid for Worthy Cause.
an Quitting yourself for Easter at
Jelleff'S on next Tuesday you will be
aiding a worthy cause at no additional
expense, as the entire amount raised
will go to the Junior League work at
d.
ministrative expenses. Prices will most
assuredly be the same, and with the
league girls and the entire sales force
trying their utmost to please, it should
make your shopping tour of the store
on that day an exceedingly pleasant
experience"
Making clear the position of the
league, Mrs. NoyeS said: Every one
who has heard this talk has probably
subscribed to the Community Chest.
The Junior League is asking you to sub
scribe nothing more, it simply wishes
to point out to you that by patroniZing
Jelleff'S on next Tuesday you will be
aiding those who need aid, and that if
your purchases amount to no more
than a dollar, 10 cents of that dollar
will be used for the relief of those who
most need 1t. 1t is certainly an easy
method to attain that satisfaction of
spirit that comes from doing something
for some one else.

Earlier in her address Mrs. Noyes ex-
planned that the leagues staff at Chill
drens Hospital consists of two social
workers, q secretary and a car, for
which the league is financially re-
sponsible. Mrs. Noyes explained that
the league does not come under the
Community Chest.
AS matter of fact" Mrs. Noyes as
serted, the league had three teams
working during the last chest campaign
and also contributed thousand dollars.
The league is entirely sustained by its
membership which is composed Of more
than 400 Of Washington's most prom
inent young women, and by yearly en-
tertainments"
Telling of the founding of the league
..
stone, with only Is members in 1912,
Mrs. Noyes said:
1.-The activities of the league today
have grown to the welfare work of the
Children's Hospital, technical work with
the Braille manuscript for the blind,
settlement work which includes clerical
duties of the Associated Charities. as
well as assistance to the three settle
ment houses and many miscellaneous
activities"
Qualifications for Membership.
Mrs. Moves described these qualiflca-
lions for membership in the league:
To enter Junior League work a
young woman must be put up, seconded
and admitted to membership by an ac-
tive member Of the league. After she
Is admitted she must serve as provi-
sional member until she has finished a
course Of lectures which prepare her
for her future work. When she COM
pleteS this course she becomes an active
member Of the league and then so hours
q year minimum work Is required of
her; failing In this she is promptly sus-
pended. OF course most of The young
women IN the league give far more than
90 hours year; in fact, there are many
who devote practically their entire time
without compensation of any sort and
subscribe literally from their own funds
to the particular activities in which
they are engaged"
Mrs. NoyeS pointed out that informa-
ton relating to all activities Of the
league may be obtained at any time at
the leagues headquarters, 1929 Con-
necticut avenue.
