Cp to the present time the women's club lias made a fine con tribution to organised womanhood in America. Mrs. Ilicbardson af firms. It has brought Into the lives of home -making women fresh fresh Interests and a new sense of responsibility to themselves and to the community. Hut changing home tlu ties, greater leisure and wider business opportunities are hrltiKiug about a new alignment of women and their organisations. "I'nder these conditions." she adds "the women's clubs of the tradi tional sort must either be re created or dwindle Into Insignifi canee." Woman' 1 bid N Wider Now There .won a time when the women's club was usually the most aetive organization In Its commu nity. Often, too. the only means, of social contact available. Women. 4 flocked .to hear mje.ikcrs and iu l lake any sort of bumble part In I "civic betterment" programs. Put I increasingly of recent years the I wititn- fitd opening up to women J I plus such (Specialised1 organizations us parent-teacher associations, the j drama groups, business w omen's eiui.s, ha vp so attracted the young er workers.

This Is. at any' rate, the situation ns Mrs. Kith-' aidson sees ll. Modern women.

Pa user in Tiki .Much Talk Too much talk will wear out any organization. Certainly the club that puts on only programs of talk In these days of social and civic projects would deserve to "dwindle iiff o Insignificance." If some of the program suggestions sent out from the national headquarters strike no spark for members of active branches, as is charged, the answer may be that the national office might go In mure, for dis seminating information about suc cessful loea I pn jet s and In t ercst Itself less ulth initiating lecture courses. The women's club has been for thirty years a priceless training ground for emerging womanhood. If, nationally, the general federation will keep alert to the changing needs and con structive uellvity of its stronger local units there Is no reason why It should not enter into fresh pas tures of active service.
