It is this miilltT which make her vsl- uabl iwnbef of the national board, and It wa because ah had proved heref no efficient In her own etat that her delegation asked the privllige of Bend ing her to the national board. ' i V 5 Mrs. Edward L. Johnson. In Rhode Island lira, Johnson has been closely Identified with the club movement. She waa the founder and first president of the Fawtucket Wom en's club, one of th largeat and strong est eluba in the state. She served the state organization as director, recording -secretary, vice-president and president. During her term of office aa president aha began th move ment for building a club house. A com mlttee waa appointed to Investigate ap propriate aitea and make general plana. The report of the committee waa re reived with auch enthusiasm that the work waa undertaken. ' Mrs. Johnson has acted throughout as president of the Churchill Home cor po rat Ion and still hold that office. To day the building la an accomplished fact and there la no doubt by the day of the third anniversary of th first meeting of tha committee that the small outstanding debt will be paid. To se cure a suitable location, investigate plans and choose the mast desirable, raise the nvcessary money and build s 350.800 club bouse, all within th apace of three years la no slight natter. Tet sll this Mrs. Johnson has done. Th patriotic societies claim alao a share of this versatile woman's ttma and attention. 8he has been state vice regent of th D. A. R. and Is at present corresponding secsetary of the Colonial Damea. . It is only fair to add that aa home maker Mrs. . Johnson Is also conspic uously successful. In a word ah is an all-around. womanly woman. .:.". 7 e'v n ;; Discussion ' Orer ' ? Croup Housekeeping. j Can it be demonstrated that theM exists a demand for groap housekeep ing a term that Is riot as familiar, per hups, as "cooperative housekeeping." but which means a greater advance in ease and economy? r " The growing thousands of wage-earn-ing women are just aa human as If they were housewives, and Just aa fond of home. Often more so. There are housewives who weary of their paradise even break down in its service. But the woman who works In mill or shop, behind the counter, or at th desk; in etudlo or hospital, church or school that woman' appreciates a home, and needs it. -':! Here is a large and growing market, steady market, a body of respectable citizens of all class who do demand the home without . th housekeeping. Tliey board at present, and don t like It ilt is either. Inferior food and service and email, cold room, or it is. too ex pen aire, . Moreover a. boarding-house does not furnish right . ground -for -human rompaniortahlpi-.for, rest .and recreation. The boarding-house gives ., yon a place to eat and a place to sleep no. more. Eating and aleeplng r are not living. Tou mica th emotional content of horn life, snd its element of special catering to personality, and you get nothing to counterbalance th loss except freedom from ca re and labor. , -, . ,; . Th business woman has com to stay an her wants must be recognized and met. - , r , I was talking , on this subject to a woman's .club, on. th. lower east side. J described to them how a block of tene ments could be treated as a. whole: or an apartment house built.. In which th kitchen and-, laundry space was con densed to-business limits; prepared food erf steady . excellence ; furnished more cheaply than; they, could provide It themselves; proper accommodation for children . on the upper floor and roof; and also some provision for rest, relaxa tion and amusement of the adult resi dents; all this costing leas than their present housekeeping and leaving them free to double th family income. They were ready for It. to a woman. -Charlotte Perkins Oilman in th May De lineator, t ' - '. . ,, .. ,.;; .t ;. :'. " ;'. A Living Exhibit . ' . . . Of Industrial Condition.'
