MARTIN denied the oft-repeated statement that college women bear fewer children than other women in her talk at the Commercial club Wednesday. Mrs. Martin was for- merly dean of women at Cornell univer- sity and is now executive secretary for the National Association of Collegiate Alumnae. “That statement was based on a comparison of the number of children of college women with: those of women in a lower social stratum—families of Italian lmnugrants, for instance, where there are many children,” said Mrs. Martin. “The Associa- tion of Collegiate Alumnae sent out a questionnaire to college women then, asking each woman to have her sister or cousin or some friend of the same social rank as herself to answer the same questions as to number of children. The answers received indicated that the college woman averaged one more child than the woman of her own class who was not a college graduate.” There are fewer deaths among children of college women. This was another point brought out by the questionnaire, said Mrs. Martin. Another survey is now being made to find out the number of college women in professions who marry and then go back to their professions. This is to determine how long a college woman is of economic value to her community and what time she devotes to home-making. Vocational guidance, one of the biggest educa- tional movements of the day, was sponsored by the Collegiate Alumnae. It now maintains nine place- ment bureaus for college women alone, the two closest to Omaha at Kansas City and Chicago. The local association has established a vocational bureau for children, are also maintained by the national organization. Americanization of the immigrant, enlargement of the college woman’s organ, the Collegiate Alum- nae Journal, and co-operation at the .time of the conference of Pan-American women in 1920 are a few aims of the National:Association of Collegiate Alumnae now. When organized thirty-five years ago, its purpose was to secure better educational opportunities for women who were barred from many schools at that time. Its earliest survey was to refute the state- ment that education impaired women's health and other much-exploited theories. Thanksgiving offerings are the rule at most clah meetings this week, the Old Pcople's home especially being the recipient of a goodly bit of generosity. Meetings scheduled for Thursday have been post- poned or abandoned for the most part, Mrs. Nellie McClung's suffrage lecture Wednes- day at 3 o'clock at the Blackstone hotel, under the auspices of the Equal Franchise society, is the week's Seven scholarships for graduate work * st i sl Bt SOCIETY OCIETY'S interest is directed this week on the large bridge party at the Blackstone hotel Saturday dfternuun given to raise funds to purchase materials for the Franco- Belgian Relief society to use in its work of bandage- rclling and preparation of surgical dressings in the new Baird building quarters. Mrs. John A. McShane, the president; Madame August Mothe Borglum, honorary president and chief inspiration for the work; all officers and members of the society are indefatigable in their efforts toward the success of the big affair. The entire upper floor of the Blackstone, includ- ing ball room, tea room and parlors, will be given over to the players, the game beginning at 2 o’clock. For the accommodation of those who will attend Mrs. Anthony Merrill's lecture in the morning and who would also desire to attend the bridge party, the Blackstone management will serve a 50-cent table d’hote luncheon. About 450 tickets at $1.00 have been distributed under the direction of Mrs. 0. C. Redick, and, since score cards and all neces- saries are donated, the proceeds promise to be grat- ifying. Auction bridge only, pivoting instead of progres- y sing, will be the game, the same plan as the last two Creche benefits managed by Mrs. McShane, to be observed. Four players may arrange to come and play together or entire card clubs may make reser- vations. Twenty-three handsome prizes, donated to Mrs. McShane, will be exhibited on a raised platform. Winner of the highest score has first choice among the beautiful trophies, and so on. The prizes include two pink crepe de chine night robes, a carved gold and wood picture frame, two attractive desk lamps, a solid silver vase, two lovely knitting bags, a black satin hand bag embroidered with cut stecl beads, a pair of Venetian glass candlesticks, a Tifiany glass flower basket, ivory clock, cut glass dish, rose-pink silk pillow, glass candy dish with cover of Dres- den doll, silk boudoir cap embroidered with French roses, handmade handkerchief case, fountain pen, Japanese art glass flower bowl, hair ornament set with rhinestones, pink 'satin basket with Dresden top and a black and gold shopping bag Assisting with the tables and scores will be Mes- dames J. R. Scobie, W. T. Burns, W. A. Redick, cvent of most importance to suffragists. Mrs. Me- Clung is Canada’s best known suffragist and is a writer of note as well.
