small court, chatting with the
guests and showing great interest

Club Hears
Miss BOnneV

American women were urged to
accept and endure personal sacri-
fees in the cause Of democracy in
this country by Therese Bonney,
journalist and photographer, who
addressed the Woman's National
Democratic Club at luncheon yes
terday at the clubhouse.
Miss Bonney, who saw the inva-
sion of Finland by Russia and who
also was in Belgium and France In
the first months Of the war, ex-
pressed the belief the time has come
when I'VE can no longer give lip
service to the democratic principles
for which our country stands"
I'VE must have the courage to
face ourselves, each other, and admit
that we have frequently mistaken
license for liberty and that many
Of us have accepted privileges and
forgotten the inherent obligations,
she said.
eve must all be willing, especially
we women. to give up the props Of
normal conventional living, not have
them pulled out from under us. We
must be willing to face and endure
sacrifice and sustained effort and
do it valiantly."
Miss Bonney suggested formation
of volunteer woman's organization
to work in cooperation with the
men of the Nation who are planning
and co-ordinating the defense ac-
tivitieS.
The speaker wears the insignia Of
the French Legion of Honor. An
exhibition of her photographs of
war opened at the Library of Con-
gress last month.
Mrs. Claude Pepper, president Of
the club, presided at the luncheon,
while the speaker was introduced
by Mrs. Emmett Gudger, program
chairman. Miss Sibilla Sidelsky. a
friend Of the speaker, was among
the guests.
