KINGSTREE DELEGATE j;
GIVES IMPRESSIONS
OF CONVENTION OF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA FEDERATION OF WO
MEN IN COLUMBIA RECENTLY.!
1.
?
On her return from the ncent ,
Federation of Women's clubs in Co- j
lumbia.at which she represented the <
Kingstree Civic league, Mrs L W(,j
Gilland made the following very in- <
teresting report to the league, in j
which she is serving her second year ,
as president: (
"When the question of our Civic
league becoming a member of the <
State Federation of Women's clubs <
was brought up in one of our recent \
! meetings.I voted that we should join. ]
because I thought it a good thing to
do in a general way and when I was ,
elected as the first delegate from our j
league to a convention, I was pleased ]
not only because of the honor it j
meant, but because I was glad of a i
chance to 'see what the convention
was like.'
"When I went to get my credentials
the afternoon before the formal open- .
ing of the convention, I confess it was
more with a feeling of amusement i
than any other that I sat back in a ,
nnipt corner and watched the women p
"1 ?- -
crowding over one another in their j
eagerness to be recognized officially .
as bona fide delegates. I was pre- ,
pared to see for* the most part a ]
crowd of femininity flocking together ]
for the main purpose of showing off I
brand new spring dresses and the latest
style hats, with here and there a |
typical suffragette clad in mannish |
suit and wearing spectacles. Hut J
somehow the satirical smile I had pre- ]
I pared began to die on my lips and in i
my heart surged?pity immeasur- <
able and tender. Somehow these wo- men,so
eager, so intense, touched me j
as nothing else had ever done. How 1
well 1 knew the narrow ruts in which
the lives of most of them run, the
deep grooves of three meals a day,
cleaning house, minding babies and
darning- It seemed to me that I ,
'could almost hear the clanking of the ;
chains which for centuries have hung
%io woman's feet, dragging her down
into the place of a slave. Her freedom
is yet so new a thing that she .
hasn't learned to take in the fresh
air of liberty quietly, but drinks it
1 TU.V t 1
With pitllUI gUipS. 11113 uivub.ii, j
came over me more and more as I
watched one woman after another j
come in with eagerness and earnestness
writ on every feature. It was
the bond of universal sisterhood that
drew us all together, the sympathy
that only one woman can feel for an- (
I other. To me,we seemed delegates
? not only of individual clubs and small
1
organizatior.s.but of the larger body
* , of the Daughters of Eve.
"It was with this feeling of deep- *
v est enthusiasm that I went to hear .
the address of the president of the
General Federation of Women's
clubs, and the speeches of welcome
by several prominent club women.
I came away from the hall that even- 1
ing with a feeling of reverence and
4 '? ?~ Kni* urnrk ftn
respect ior woman am*, w
deep that to voice it was impossible, C
and at each meeting: of the convention
this feeling deepened and
strengthened until I was in a passion t
| of pride for my sex. and humbly t
I grateful that I was even so small a |
B part of that noble body of women.
^ "I shall not attempt to chronicle
ihe actual work of the convention ]
from day to day, because that has (
been amply set down in the press and (
I have a complete file of papers for
any of you who may care to look ^
over them. It is rather the spirit of j
' the convention which I should like to }
make you feel, so that you may take i
up the work we have to do here in '
our little town with a larger enthusiasm
? realizing that discouragement
is not to be admitted, because \
we are working not simply for our 1
own interests and for our immediate s
neighbors, but that we are a part of ^
a wonderful whole,and that we must
work with a spirit worthy of the ?
body of which we have become a
^ part, never acknowledging defeat, .
never accepting a rebuff. <
"How I wish you could each one (
have been present at every meeting
of thai convention! Of the silliness
and frivolity which I, in my ignorance,had
expected, there was none.
In its place was womanly dignity and
serious purpose, systematic form
and husiness-like dispatch; and yet
none of the masculine characteristics
which many people associate with
club women. The typical suffragette
was conspicuous by her absence. In
her place the womar.ly woman, the
majority of them crowned by wifehood
and motherhood,reigned in her
stead. There was never any hint of
politics throughout the whole con

June and which was reported and
iiscussed is for the benefit of women
and children and along the lines of
fivic improvement where she has
sin-ply utilized her instincts of homenaking
in making her town as well
aer home beautiful.
"Besides civic improvements few
:>f the larger undertakings to which
the federation has pledged its support
for the coming year are: The,
forming of a tuberculosis camp for
the poor in this State, the maintenance
of scholarships at several representative
girls' colleges, compulsory
education, health inspection of
schools and circulating libraries in j
the rural districts. These are the'
general lines along which the women
nf the State are working anj the
wonder of it is what they have al-!
ready accomplished, working soj
steadily, so persistently, and yet so i
quietly that numbers of people do '
not know that is women who have
brought about the good results that
have been of universal benefit.
"And so I have come back to you
filled with ideals and purposes that I
nad never even dreamed of before.
Mot, I hope, foolish, dreamy ideals,
but practical, deep ideals. I feel
that in every work we undertake I
shall hear the footsteps of our sister
women throughout the State marching
in unison with us toward the
higher goal of the State beautiful."
