National Federation Of B. 81
Clubs Has Outstanding Record

The National Federation of Bust
ness and Professional Women's
clubs was, in 1914, at the close OF
its first quarter of a century of
unchecked progress, the largest Or
ganizatlon of its kind in the world.
1t was instituted as a postwar prof.
ect in July, 1919. shortly after the
close of World War I. It is, and
always has been, non-partisan, non
sectarian and self : governing. 1t
publishes the only magazine issued
in the United States which is de-
voted solely to the interests Of bus
mess and professional women. 1t
was the motivating force in the
formation of the International Fed
GRAFTON of Business and Profession
al Women in 1880, has been affilias
ed with the international organiza-
ton since that date, and has given
it much of its impetus and direc-
ton.
The federation maintains head
quarters at 1919 Broadway. New
York city, where a large and COM
petent staff safeguards the inter-
ests Of its far-flung membership.
From the beginning it has taken
an active part in civic and national
affairs. and its aptitude for service
in this field was recognized through
an invitation extended to its repre-
sentatives by the department of
state to participate actively in the
San Francisco conference in 1945
at which the charter of the United
Nations was drafted.
The National Federation of Bust
ness & Professional Women's clubs
is the only organization which is
open to all business and PROBES
SIGNAL women irrespective of their
OCCUPATION or of their status as
worker or executive, and its forma-
ton represented the first effort to
dam up and utilize the untapped
reservoir of power represented by
the women workers of the country.
From early days the federation
has been keenly interested n high
err standards of education for the
prospective business or professional
woman. The result was the estao-

the latest rules of duplicate bridge.
Judging from the amount of in
terest shown in the announcement
OF the forthcoming tournaments,
numbers of tables will be in pro-
gress every Tuesday night from
8 until 1870, at the popular
Country clubhouse. All needed
equipment will be furnished by
the club. No reservations are nee
essary and no charge will be made
to members and their out-of-town
guests. Individual scores will be
kept during the winter on a large
score-board and handsome prizes
awarded in the spring. 1t has been
suggested that the winning team
from the country club play
against the winners from country
clubs in various cities of the
state. Three hostesses will be in
charge each week to assist the
players in any way possible, and
everything is being done to insure
the success of the tournaments.
Knowing so well your love for
bridge Peg, I have a feeling in
my bones that you will roll into
town about November 5, just in
time to pile up a marvellous score
for yourself on the opening night.
Think that over seriously and re-
member that a warm welcome
awaits you here always.
With much love. Affectionatelv
yours,
