Sunday Morning, January 22,1 1928 THE CAPITAL TIMES Home Owned -Home Edited -Home Read 11 Community Club and Society News WOMEN DISCUSS TOPICS AVOIDED YEARS AGO club woman of the eighties discussed literary matters and the servant girl problem at her annual convention. Today she talks of international movements and manifold interests outside the home. This is the change in the General Federation of Women's clubs since its initial meeting in 1889, that two of its oldest members recalled at the board of directors meeting here. Mrs. Lucretia L.

Blankenburg and Mrs. Mary Mumford, both of Philadelphia, were the only two members attending the 1928 session who also took an active part in the organization meeting nearly forty years ago. Mrs. Mumford, who is 86 years old, scoffed at the idea that Marion Blankenburg, who is three years junior, could remember the details of that meeting in New York city as well as she could. "She was too young," she insisted.

"But I remember how very careful we all had to be," retaliated Mrs. Blankenburg. "In those days it wasn't a very nice woman who would belong to a club that did anything but sponsor "literary" ideas. When we first hinted we would like to do something a little more serious, a little more vital, people began to wonder whether we were "So at our first meeting we were very careful, and brought up nothing that would tend to give us a black eye before we got started." 1887 First The first general meeting of club women from all parts of the country was called by Sorosis club of New York in 1887, when that group celebrated its twenty-first birthday by inviting a representative from every other known woman's club in the country come to York, "Sixty invitations were extended, but there were only about 35 present, because those who lived too far away couldn't afford the time or money to come clear to New York," said Mrs. Blankenburg.

"That little nucleus has grown until it comprises today more than 3,000,000 women in all parts of the country as well as many foreign countries. "Since most of the affiliated clubs were literary ones, many of the names on that first roster were those of women writers. Julia Ward Howe, the Carey sisters, Alice and Phoebe, Carlotta. Wilbur, and Jenny Crowley were among those who were present at the first meetinng." Julia Ward Howe, Her Influence, Is Subject of Meeting Life and Influence of Julia Ward Howe" was the subject of the program presented by the Fennimore Women's club at its regular meeting held at the home of Mrs. David Napp Tuesday.

Cheng-Loh believes in China with a kind of burning confidence. The four hundred million people of his native land, he says, will never be subjugated by a foreign power, and some day they will discover again their political soul and form themselves into a united, harmonious nation. "In that new nation," he said, "women will play an important role, even if they will not have all the juridical rights of women of western lands.

They tried it once in the ninth century to their dismay.

Communism is against all the Chinese conceptions of religion, including the Confucian religion. Cheng-Loh, who received his early training in the law at Paris, has written of his experiences in Mongolia, where he represented China in a conference to settle difficulties over the invasion of Mongolia by Russian troops. He also has translated into French from the Chinese "The Red Lama," a story of Mongolian life. Four afternoons will be filled with talks, demonstrations and exhibitions.
