The handsome blister pearl ring
worn by Mrs. Harold Q. Hofmyer
of Cape Town, South Africa, rep
resents much more than just a love-
~ Jewel to its owner-it is a symbol
OF the unity and sisterhood Of the
organization which is her pet hob
by" the Victoria League, whose
members include British women in
every part of the, empire.
Interviewed at the Alban Towers,
where she resides with her husband,
DR.. Hofymer, who is in the Capital
on special mission for the Union
OF South Africa Government Supply
Mission, Mrs. Hofymer explained
the activities and objectives of the
Victoria League and how the ring
she wore was associated with it.
"The Victoria League was found
ed in London some years ago for
the purpose of bringing together
young women living there from the
widely spread British Dominions
and helping them to feel at home
and become acquainted" Mrs. Hof-
myer said.
A clubhouse was established in the
English capital enabling members
to receive lodging at a minimum

cost as well as providing a central
meeting place for visitors from
across the seas, she added.
The founder of the league, who
made her home at the London club
house, also provided attractive in
vitations to dominion visitors as
soon as they arrived in England,
she explained.
1T was through her while I was
in London few years ago that 1
received an invitation to the tea,
where I met the Australian member
who later gave me this ring" she
continued.
Mrs. Hofmyer told how soon after
attending the London tea she left
England for South Africa never ex-
pecting to see her new Australian
acquaintance again.
give years later, my husband and
I were making trip around the
world and arrived at Melbourne for
a few days. You can imagine my
surprise when I received call from
the lady whom I had met in Lon
don who had seen of our arrival
in the paper and invited us to
luncheon. You see, she Immediate
ly carried out the objective of the
Victoria League-to see that visit
ing members were entertained and
shown around the city She pre-

generation of Hofmyers to live in
the building.
The speaker portrayed her native
country as a LAND of great oppor-
tunity' for enterprising young men
and women who she declares are
extended warm welcome.
There are only about 2i2 million
of us" she explained, land we need
settlers badly
Mrs. Hofmyer told OF letters re-
ceived from Capetown telling how
the Americans passing through the
city express deep enthusiasm for the
country
1T would be fine thing if some
of these young men would return
after the war as settlers" she re-
marked. In addition to opportu-
mites at the diamond mines near
Kimberly which she said are now
the sole source of machine tool dia-
monds for the United States. she

Purpose Explained.
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse is
director of the institute, which has
been working for IA years to see
that the college woman had the
information on which she could
build plan to prepare herself for
definite work.
To-day. more than ever" Mrs.
Woodnouse declared yesterday, mo
college woman is justified in not
making plan for her future. She
must prepare for a definite goal,
prepare to do her best in the Ma
tion's work. and the colleges and
universities and industry must give
her the assistance she needs"
Mrs. Woodhouse pointed out that
educational policies will be given
much consideration during the con-
ference. Some of the questions to
be asked, she said, are:
How can we best recruit, train and
place the educated woman where she
will make the largest contribution
to the war effort?
How can we shape women's edu-
cation today so that we can retain
the values of a liberal arts educa-
ton needed for intelligent citizen
ship and at the same time provide
the technical training needed for the
Immediate crisis?
How can we separate out the very
gifted and make certain that such
young women not only complete
their college course but have the
funds to 60 on into graduate work?
1--WE will need and need desperately
the highly trained and educated
scientist, social scientist and artist
after the war; she declared. Few
young men are going to have grad
uate training. 1t is new obliga-
ton of the woman Of more than
average ability to carry on the torch
of culture, to prepare herself for the
higher levels of both technical and
scholarly work"
