IZ0nta Club Hears
Lecture ON India
Bv Mrs. Eldredge
By Ruth Dean

The rise of women from almost
total seclusion to national positions
of professional and political i'm
portance is one of the most striking
contrasts in the past 20 years pro-
gress of India, Mrs. Mark Eldredge,
prominent lecturer and traveller
told luncheon meeting of the
zonta Club yesterday at the Dodge
Hotel.
Mrs Eldredge, who lived in India
for 10 years, attributed the phe-
nomenal stride made by India S
present women leaders to their in
itiative and recognition and interest
in reforms for their countrymen.
The speaker pointed to the sig
niflcant" development in education
alone. Twenty years ago, she said,
women represented less than 2 per
cent of the educated population
Now they represent per cent OF the
IA per cent literate population and
show so per cent increase over
the men in the 20-year period.
Co-education was unheard OF two
decades ago, Mrs. Eidredge declared,
but due to the influence of mission
schools and women's interest in
adult education, that type of edu-
cation now exists in great ma
jority of the colleges and even in
some of the high schools.
There are now 1,725 women en-
rolled in India professional schools
with medicine and teaching leading
the choice of professions, Mrs. Ell
dredge pointed out. Forty-two
women hold leading positions in po-
litical life, with eight of them in
cabinet Offices in provincial and
central legislatures. OF the more
than 10C-member Constitutional
Assembly now meeting in Delhi to
draw up an Indian Constitution, II
are women, the speaker remarked
Mrs. Eldredge Illustrated her talk
with mention of several prominent
women who have contributed to the
advancement of the status of Indian
women. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu was
the first woman president OF the
Indian Nationalist Party, and Mrs
Vijayalakshmi Pandit, a sister OF
the Indian leader Nehru and form
erly minister for local self-govern-
ment and public health, is now
leader of the Indian delegation tc
the United Nations General AS
sembly. The prominent Moslem
leader, Begun Shah NaWaz, was the
only woman member of the Indian
War Council.
Indian women have even caught
up with their Western sisters in the
field of journalism, Mrs. Eldredge
pointed out. The Allahabad Leader
now has woman's page. In an
other city a woman is editor of a
newspaper.
India is not without its women
writer's, the speaker added. Krishna
Nehru, sister of the Indian leader
and author of the best seller, with
No Regrets" is now on a lecture
tour in this country, accompanied
by her husband, Haiti Singh, who
is making a study of engineering
projects here.

gram chairman, introduced the
speaker and Miss Frances Powell

That something that is Washing
tons particular charm pervaded the
small party given by Justice and
Mrs. Bennett Champ Clark yester-
day afternoon. officials of the
bench and Senators mingled with
Washington residents and talked
the kind of talk that one only hears
in the Capital where such gatherings
are possible.
It was the Justices birthday and
although his wife said that their
house was not yet complete, the day
definitely called for celebration.
AS far as the eye could reach, how
ever, the house appeared perfectly
renovated and beautifully decorated.
Shining white both outside and in,
it stands out with attractive fresh
ness in that block on @ street east of
the Buffalo Bridge. ..
Inside the atmosphere of light
and cheerfulness is enhanced by
the glistening white background to
the red sofa, red hangings and
shelves of books in the drawing room
to the pictures and lovely pieces of
furniture. The walls of the dining
room are cream and blend into the
soft luster of the cream satin drap-
cries, the whole effectually setting
off the fine portrait hung there of
the hosts father, the late famed
Speaker of the House, Champ Clark.
The first persons glimpsed were
the attractive Mrs. William Fahne-
stock, jr.: her sister, Mrs. Hawes
Dunn. and their mother, Mrs. Harry
B. Hawes, very stunning in black
dress trimmed in crystal beads and
pearls. Mrs. Hawes was pouring
tea at one end of the dining room
table which was covered with an
exquisite white cloth entirely of lace,
at the other end Mrs. Sailing Ba-
ruch, in a brown hat topped with
paradise feathers. was serving some
excellent rum punch. Mrs. Fahne-
stock, by the way. was up from their
place on the Eastern Shore where
she and her husband spend all the
Evening star., 1947-01-09

The White House was the scene
of an unusual gathering yesterday
when at the invitation of Mrs. Tru-
man, wives of new members of Con-
gress assembled in the East room
to attend class in public speaking.
There they were impressed by speak
ers, women prominent in congress
sional circles, of the Importance of
mastering the art of speaking easily
before an audience whether it be for
the purpose of assisting husbands
in political campaigns, or before
womens groups back home" to de-
scribe life in Washington as a
Congressman's wife sees it.
You'd be surprised how eager
the women in my district are to
hear about Washington" Mrs. Karl
M. LIE Compile, wife of Representa-
tive LIE Compte of Iowa, said.
One of several speakers, Mrs. LIE
Compile is active in the OAR and
PEO Sisterhood and has lectured
extensively to women's clubs OF
Iowa.
There is only about one per cent
of the people of my district who
will ever be able to see Washington,
she added. Naturally they are
eager to know all about it. They
want to know about the White
House, about the Children's Bureau
the Supreme Court, the Congress
sional Club, how Washington women
dress and about the social life. You
should know how to tell them these
things when you go back home,
she advised.
Taking a large scrapbook from
nearby table, Mrs. LIE Compts
opened it's pages and showed we'll
arranged clippings from Washing
ton newspapers.
These will tell better than you
can," she explained "the important
things you want to remember, such
as the opening of Congress, White
House receptions, interesting people
in Washington and other things the
people back home will went to
know"
Mrs. Homer Ferguson, wife of the
Senator from Michigan, presided
over the class, presenting the speak
ers.
These included, in addition to Mrs
LIE Compte, Mrs. Olin D. Johnston
wife of Senator Johnston OF South
Carolina, and Nine. Jean Chatel
wife of Commanaant Chatel OF
France and president of the newest
member of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, the Club de
Liaison des Femmes de France.
Taking for her subject, THE Role
of Women in the World Today
Mrs. Johnston, who has assisted
the Senator in his political cam
paigns and who was awarded the
first prize as the best speaker in
a campaign class last spring, empha-
sized the Importance Of womer
participating actively in nationa
life. Youth, education and politics
are three subjects which every
Congressman's wife should know
she declared. She spoke of the
rise in juvenile delinquency in thu
Nation and asserted that womer
should work for a solution to thu
problem.
She referred to recent strike
which have taken place in schools
throughout the country where ever
