THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, SUNDAY, MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1921. Charlotte Woman's Club Y Mrs. Keilley Tliinlts of It. Club women of the state will be es vccially interested in the following Writ ton : y cue of the first, and one of the mo.st prominent, club women of the Charlotte Woman's Club The twenty-cine yen.rs during which the Oh:irltte Wc man's Club has been caininj,' headway now looks as though tiio past year had been merely a time preparation for service based on tho study of human neods and now crown , ,1 with the power of citizenship. We viu?t have the vision to stand together with a clear understanding of what .-.!-,, the things of major importance and an equally clear determination of put tine true Americanism into our social ana muuMiui p.na political life. Wei na'.c mi- " uemnerv tor rinin t nn igb arcl the club Women arc wnwi . .1, v.i . . l-v..- ii' lu-ip ins mannr. try goinf. Our club came into beTng because we pot something out of a group that no one can get alone-something we all erave-companionrbip, friendship, the wisdom ti at cimes from many minds the inspiration that springs from con tact of mind with mind, the efficiency that lesults from combined effort There are big tasks lying before women tasks that need such wisdom as we get lrom combined study , tasks .'hat need the altruism we get from working to gether, tasks that need the energy we set from combination of effort. We might describe ourselves in some such words as those: "A body of organized women :n the community who can be depended upon to promote whatever leads to the betterment of life."- Our r.ew club home has given us a new incentive to work; it has given fresh inspiration to the women of our city to join us and we now claim a membership of COO members, which is taxing the capacity of the assembly rooms to such an extent that the Club House Committee are now contemplat ing the building of an auditorium suit able to the needs of a modern club. Tt stnnds conspicuously in the community; as the old colored man expressed it as: ie place whar ar de ladies gets off." Indeed we sometimes wonder what the women of Charlotte would do without the Women's Club so great an asset is it to the social and civic life of the city. Our work progresses through six ac tive departments and several standing committees each under the guidance of an efficient chairman, who gives her i-ervices freely. The Art Committee is expectirg to have art exhibits cur ing the winter; the Literature Depart ment will study the Modern Drama with scenes from the best and most typical; the Music Department will study: "The Opera in Song and Story;" the Home Economics Department is planning to put into practical form some of the in teresting things house keepers would like to learn to make with a millinery class in the spring. A citizenship class will be conducted following the lines of work undertaken previously; Education and Health will deal largely with local conditions and problems and the Social Service Committee will help in improv ing the condition of eleemosynary in stitutions. Special programs for the entertain ment of the public and the recreation of the young people and the social inter course of the club women are being made a feature for the coming club year. The club stands and works for all these interests. It urges the wo men to study and work. Women who are isolated should join the women who are In the midst of things. They will get help. They will sive strength. LAL'RA HOLMES REILLEY, President Charlotte Woman's Club. Motor Party. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Guthrie and Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
