CLUB INTEREST!
In her regular monthly letter
to the federated clubs of the
5 United States, Mrs. Percy V.
I'ennybanker of Texas, president
of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, advances somt
ideas that will be of interest to
many cutside of clubs as well as
to those that are members. Mrs.
Ptnnybacker sayi:
"We are practically agreed on
the fact that we shall never be
ab'e to reaeh the rural woman in
large numbers unless we make
it possible for her to meat us on
a common footing where she has
the opportunity to Rive as much,
if not more, than she receives.
Some localities have recently j
been successful in establishing j
community houses. Ia reality,;
this r.2n:3 mepns ro.t room
the rural wvman and a market
place for her town lister. The
matron in charge has on hand
orders for butter, chickens and
other country produce. She has
also certain women who are only
i to flai to make a little money
j by caring for children by the
hour.
When the country woman ar
: rives she finds ready sale for her
; produce, a comfortable room
where she may meet her friends;
and an opportunity to have htri
children looked after; and yet, j
i with it all, she had the ewect
I
; consciousness of being absolutely j
, independent. The town women :
make an etfort to come In person j
for their produce, in order that;
the personal touch may be siab- j
lished. '
I Not long since someone well j
said, it hi a sad fact that to most j
of us the women, who bring our I
eggs and chickens to the hack !
door, are only our egg women;;
we do net know them in the hu
man, social 'a ay. Now, w htn e '
meet these women at the corn-
