Imaginary
Tour Now
Reality
Good Will Trip
Under Auspices of
General Federation

An imaginary good-neighbor tour
of South America. which the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
launched as a study program this
year, now has developed into a
real tour for members who can con-
slider such trip.
Announcement was made yester-
day through the Pan-American
Union that a party will sail from
New York May 81 under General
Federation auspices, on just such a
tour as the study program has de-
scribed.
Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, General
Federation president, and Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley, active in the Dis
trict Federation and Indian welfare
chairman of the General Fedora
ton, are planning to take the tour.
The party will be under the lead
ership of Mrs Frederic Beggs, chair
man of the department of interna-
tional relations of the federation,
who collaborated with the Pam
American Union in creating the
imaginary tour used by the various
affiliated clubs this year. Entitled,
"An Adventure in International Un-
derstanding, the imaginary tour
was designed to achieve just that.
The real tour is planned, it was
said, to make tangible the fedora
tons interest in continental friend
ship. to give clubwomen an oppor-
tunity to become better acquainted
at first hand with their neighbors in
Latin America, and to consider to-
gether their common problems Of
citizenship, their hopes for their
communities. their countries and the
world, and their mutual efforts to
adjust democracy for human well
fare"
A 52-day all-expense tour of more
than 10000 miles has been arranged
and is open to husbands of club
women as we'll as their friends.
Leading South American countries
and capitals will be visited.
In addition, three 39-day tours
also are being arranged, though all
will sail with the main party. One of
these trips includes Peru, with two
weeks in and about Lima; another is
to the land of the ancient Inca
civilizations and third to Chile.
Many requests for detailed in
formation on the trip already have
been received at General Federation
headquarters, it was said.

king, because I really saw fairy
when I was little girl"
Flowers and fairies are closely as
sociated, in the opinion of Mrs.
Lewis, who in recent months has
been making special study of
flower legends. The folklore of
flowers and how they were given
their names make reading more abb
sorbing than fiction, she believes.
Patchwork and piecework quilts
were Mrs. Lewis first serious hobby.
Through her collection and her
search for old pieces, she has become
recognized authority on early
American quilts, having in her pos
session more than so rare ones.

Wing Rose" and others equally
quaint, also disclose the early origin
of some of the quilts.
You see how educational hobby
can be?" she said. There is no
hobby which does not entail a great
deal of study and every hobby adds
to ones store of knowledge"
Whether it was the fairy that
brought her the good luck of a
stimulating personality or whether
it is her enthusiasm about hobbies
which is infectious, it is certain that
