Such thought ahquld be ban ished, for they .are untrue. 'Contact de- velops the fact that the. clubwoman takes her mission aa a clubwoman seriously . and advocates cherished projects with an ' earnestness that cannot be doubted. Such seriousness and earnestness are - efefctive, as was evidenced at ths con . ventioa of ' the - Oregon Federation of - Women's clubs held last week In Cor vallts. The 'delegates did things. . When the clubwoman leaves home as a delegate to a state convention, she undergoes a transformation en route. She enjoys the, welcome respite from deciding " what to have for dinner, or conducting her classes in school, or performing her i duties as business or professional wom an, and becomes a clubwoman with an idea to advance. . .. . , . - 'Thus it is that, the womenfolk; assent ' bled in conventionsupport their favorite measures with, an earnestness Indicating '. -those measures to- be the only things that really matter In the-whole world. " r - One urges the release from ' prison of inmates - unjustly incarcerated, , with a . solemness of voice and seriousness of attitude that' win general sympathy to the cause of the unfortunates. Another, with a catch in her breath and a tremor in-her voiced -agitates the creation' of a , child welfare department in the federa- j In an eloquent appeal the women were urged .to give . at least one . program a '.year to humane Interests. Then came ths clarion "cry that the " world wilt go to the bowwows If the cost of living isn't ' reduced and that the way , to dq it is to stop buying new. hats and frocks. ; The clubwoman, ; at the end of the convention, went back to her duties as housewife, teacher, , business or profes- slonal "woman, but while Jrfie was there she enjoyed herself in a way that would open father's, eyes and make ths family sit up and take notice., She found room and opportunity for. the expansion of her social spirit. -She found relief in self expression. She found out by mixing with her kind that it is the rare woman, indeed, who hasn't ideas and opinions to put before the world on subjects that touch the wcman's life and the child's life and that, in the aggregate, these ideas and opinions are worth while. And that, above all, the clubwoman seeks to be useful, to give of her dis coveries' and thought and experience to ". the general fund, and she goes home with a larger outlook on life. . m ' The Present Day club was another of the live organisations that rallied the members during the past week for this -. season's opening . meeting. They met , Tuesday afternoon at the home of the -president, Mrs. Alexander Muir, 1415 Kast Stark street The club membership Is limited to a score, and, with the ex ception of three or four who have not yet returned from vacations spent In the Kast, all were present There were also .. several visiting ladles. This session was mostly a visiting affair.' the roll call be ing responded to by each member with ' a brief account of how she had spent the summer. U This was followed by an n- ' thuslaatlc? discussion of plans for work for this new year. . The past two or three year have ' been glvens to Red Cross : sewing; the literary, programs having been almost entirely abandoned toi this line of service.' It was decided that most of the time this year shall be given to -sewing-for the unfortunate, women and , children "over there" where the need is still so great and urgent This work is to be occasionally mixed with the fine literary programs for -which this club is famous. .After a lot of lively chatter about' these matters, most delicious re freshments were served. The vice presi dent Mrs.; Frank W. Robinson, poured the coffee, and Mrs. Hartley Morgan presided over, the ice cream, while the , two yoyng daughters of the hostess. Misses Myrtle and Stella Mulr, waited upon the guests. Mrs. Carl Tipton, the treasurer. 1 was present . and in active service, but Mrs. Jennie Bennett the secretary, has not yet returned to the city. This club dates back several years, being now "in Us teens," and Is a . most, energetic and harmonious organ!- - nation. . . , Woodstock Parent-Teacher association will hold Its regular monthly meeting on .

Wf i tit it ' " m Mi MWllMMMIlWMSWWeMIISMIWIWl'MMlllMlli f Guild Work To BeGreaterThan Ever This Year INTEREST In the Needlework Guild of America gives promise, of being great er and more far reaching this year than ever before. During the stress of war time the energy of the women compris ing this organization was diverted to patriotic channels; and Justly so. How ever the . new conception of what is r,eally worth while which the war work served to stimulate gives promise' of greatly increasing the usefulness of such, organizations as the guild. ly .tS1! i L ' The 'Portland branch is already, mak ing extensive plans for its. annual gar ment collection, exhibition, tea and dis tribution, which constitutes 'the major part of the work. Mra' H. W. Corbett Is the honorary president' of -the -Portland branch. Mrs. William "I Brewster is the president, Mra H. B. Robertson, Mrs. James Laidlaw ' and - Miss Isabel DeFries are the vice presidents, Mrs. R. W. Wilbur ts the secretary and Mrs. Alexander Bernstein is the treasurer. Notwithstanding the demands of the war time, there was collected in 1918 a total of 2755 garments and $56.25. In addition to Its local work the guild re sponded to a national call and in 10 days time collected a fund of $387.86 In small subscriptions from nfembers and sent for the sewing machine fund for San Quen tln, one of the devastated villages of France. t The ' idea of the guild was conceived by Lady Wolverton - of England, who adopted the plan of furnishing an or phanage in which she was interested with garments, by having a large num ber, of members, each of whom would contribute two new -garments each year as their membership dues. This was in 1883 and in 1885 the guild was formed in America, -where it i has since grown and flourished with more than 350,000 mem bers in the United States. The guild Is the only national organization in the .world the specific duty of which is to collect annually a central stock from which Is given grants according to the desires of -the directors.- to -meet "the great need of-hospitals, homes and other charities. That this distribution . of garments is appreciated is evidenced by the following letter received last year from' Mrs. Lewis Mills, one of the offi cers of the Visiting. Nurse association: I "It's a pleasure to have it fall to my lot to thank you on .behalf of the Visit ing Nurse association for' that splendid donation from 'the Needlework ' guild. You may rest assured that each arid every . one of those garments win go where the are most needed and appre ciated. We always feel, that we have a very loyal friend in the .Needlework guild. I want you to realise how truly grateful ; we are for all that, you have always' done for us. Thank ,-you so , . . AH garments must be in the hands of the .directors by T the fifth f. December.

In the re cital of the club work for the period of 80 years, Mrs, Eggert told most inter estingly of ths fund that has done so much for. the education and help - of young women of Oregon. .: From 1907 until the present time, Mrs. Eggert 'hss served this fund and this work faith fully and ably. She has handled tit. 700.8 J of the money of the fund and her report in addition to the story of deeds done gave in dollars and centa a resume of what had happened. She said: ,- "The task of collecting the outstand ing loans has for three or more rears been steadily growing more and - more ,? Duraensome. our experience convinces us that -one of the reasons for this is the fact that our clubs, both officers and members, seem not. to realise that when, upon their, recommendation, and oft- -times even urgent Insistence, a. loan is granted, that then their responsibility for .that young woman has only begun, and does not end until the last .dollar Is paid. . : . - .
