Largely the work that has been done seneral Federation such bar- ave been torn down and women today face a new and de- 1 ul world of their own. It was a man's world fifty years ago—it is world for both sexes today—largely pecause of the work done by the country’s club women.” Highlighting the afternoon’s en- tertainment will be a “Procession of Wedding Gowns.” Ranging from the period of 1867, when the first woman’s club was organized, to the present season, the gowns will be modeled by young girls and matrons of Juneau and will furnish one of | the most interesting style shows r seen locally. Twelve wedding g s representing almost as many periods of time, all of them formerly worn by a prominent Juneau woman | or some relative, will be featured in | this procession. The style show of wedding gowns will be held twice during the afternoon, at 3:30 and at 4:30. Mrs. Russell Cook is in charge of this part of the afternoon’s en- tertainment. Plans are being made to serve a Jarge crowd during the afternoon and the committee wishes every woman in Juneau to know that she will be welcome at this event, which will furnish something really unique on the social calendar for the winter.
