Washington Woman's Club votes smoking room despite anti tobacco stance
The Washington Women's City Club, with about 3000 members, voted to establish a smoking room at its headquarters even as the Methodist Episcopal Church board denounced tobacco use by women. The vote centered on a claim that a club without a smoking room loses its purpose, with notable members including Mrs E. P. Costigan, Mrs Louis Brownlow, and Miss Jesse Haver.
