Woman in South America
Writes of the Problems
Facing the World There
. Her Comments Make One Feel That Only an
Ocean Divides the Women of North
and South America
By EDITH ALDERMAN GUEDRY
Press Woman's Page Editor
A woman has written to this column saying, “I know
you are very busy and don’t have very much time for
letters like these, therefore I am making this as brief
as possible." .
If she only knew how I do appreciate
letters, she would know that I do have
the time for them—ample time. I am by
a letter like a child is by a toy. I adore
getting them. And letters which come from
readers I haven’t met personally I think
are more appreciated even than those from
persons I do know.
Today’s mail brings several interest-
ing letters, some from strangers, some from
friends. One letter is from Miss Anne
Mrs. Guedry Guthrie, now in r Buenos Aires,
America. Many here will remember Miss Guthrie,
was a house guest last spring of Mrs. Lee Hirt.
In the letter Miss Guthrie viv-+---
idly tells of a special meeting of
the Continental women's commit-
tee with whom she works. About
all the women gathered there,
women like us with a common
problem like ours.
Miss Guthrie writes: "I wish
you might know these Interesting
women—Senora Pandolfini who
founded and is director of a trade
school, where more than a thou-:
sand girls learn cooking, sewing, I
designing not in a superficial way
but so that they may earn their
living afterwards, thru the skill
they have acquired . . . Srta Lilli
Kelly, student of international af-
fairs, who keeps us continually
concerned about doing our part
toward working for better under-
standing and peace."
She tells, too. about Srta Guar-
mini, "who was a member of the j
association in her former home in |
Florence, Italy, and Mrs. Storer,
whose father came down to Bue-
nos Aires long ago as one of the
early ministers of the American
Church. And Srta Larroque, who

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is
another of a series of his-
torical sketches on Fort Worth
women's organizations.
* * *
A quarter of a century ago,
when women’s clubs were' pio-
neering, the Cadmean Club was
organized by an extension com-
mittee of the ’93 Club. That
was during a period when the
General Federation of Women's
Club was urging all of the pio-
neer women's clubs to expand
and organize new groups.
Charter members of the Cad-
mean Club, all girls and young
matrons, came to be looked upon
as wards of the mother club.
Mrs. Adrian Bronquist, a pio-
neer club leader and a member
of the '93 Club at that time,
shouldered the responsibility of
pioneering the new club, which
was to later be called by the
name of Cadmean, after Cadmus,
a Greek, who made up the .al-
phabet.
And it was in her Texas Street
home that the Cadmean Girls
South I met for the first time, in the
She spring of 1908. For ten years
after that the girls always found

time as eight other of the city's
major women's clubs. Then last
year the Cadmean Club was one
of the first clubs in the city to
subscribe to the permanent head-
quarters fund of the Texas Fed-
eration of Women's Club. It
subscribed $100.
Today the Cadmean Club
shares a beautiful club room on
the second floor of the Woman's
Club with the History' Club. It
is a quaint room with Colonial
wallpaper, softly draped green
damask at the windows and
Colonial furnishings.
Aside from its major interest,
a study of cultural subjects,
Cadmean Club members stress
their social service work. Each
year the club furnishes trans-
portation for children to and

Worth.

And under the chairmanship
of Mrs. Howard Vaughn, the
club has for the last two years
been able to aid several needy
families. It not only has given
layette showers for mothers in
need but has furnished groceries
and clothing for the older chll- |
dren of these same mothers.
This spring the Cadmean Club

Grace didn't try to wink back
the tears. She knew that she
couldn't. All the pent-up emo-
tions of the last few months . . .
all the strain of the days when
she had wanted to cry and
couldn’t, because she was too tir-
ed or too proud or there were
people around, came crowding in
the tears.
She felt Jimmy's arms around
her. close and enfolding.
"Why, honey, I didn't know . ..
His cheek was against her own
and ho was pressing her head
against his shoulder. "Go head,
dearest, cry it out. You'll feel
better."
He didn't say anything more as
the sobs went on just pressed
his lips against the warm hollow
in the back of her neck and put
a big white handkerchief in her
hand.
As the sobs abated and she
wiped her eyes with it, she no-
ticed that she had been clutching
the blue chiffon handkerchief. It
was a wet, bedraggled blue ball
now.
"All right, darling?" Jimmy
was asking.
"Fine—" but her voice trem-
bled and she smiled mistily.
“I've been 17 kinds of a dumb-
bell—” she could hear him apolo-
gizing, pleading, but the words
ran away Into nothingness. They
didn't matter. Just the fact that
she was there with Jimmy and
his arms were around her
counted.
Outside the dusk began to
come down over the street. The
afternoon had passed and they
hadn't known It. Luncheon had
been late, she remembered now.
Not until 1:30. It was after 4
o'clock.
“Jimmy, the office!" she said
suddenly.
"Darn the office," he answer-
| ed. "It won't miss me. I'm sup-
posed to be busy on some plans.
I'll work on the train.”
“Then you really are going
away?"
"Honey, why did you think I
asked you to pack the bag? Just
for the fun of it? Still, 1 might
have—"
"I believe, if you don't mind.
I'd like to stay here tonight,"
Grace answered.
"Won't you be lonesome?"
"Not any more."
In the end Grace didn't go
back to the office. She went
home, and Jimmy promised to
call for her at dinner time after
which she would go to the train
with him. ,
She found herself singing
snatches of foolish, gay songs as
she took her shower and dressed.
With a lipstick in her hand as
she deepened the rose-red of her
lips, she met her own eyes in the
mirror. She let the hand with the
lipstick drop and propped her
face in her other hand.
“Funny, wasn't it?" she ap-
pealed to her mirrored self. The
green eyes were long and soft and
glowing as they smiled back. The
dark hair tumbled provocatively
around her eager face. "Fairy,
tales seem to have some back.
Knights ride home from Camelot,
and all the rest of that warmed-
over applesauce.”
Then she slipped into new grey
suede slippers and a green dress
that matched her eyes.
She was nearly ready, waiting
for the telephone to announce
Jimmy, when there was a knock
at the door.
