Business Women to Open Clubrooms and Dining Rooms

The initiative, started May 15, 1920, already has 70 members and aims to help young women entering commerce while providing homecooked meals for girls away from home. The dining room will be managed by an experienced caterer and funded by membership dues while soliciting furnishings from members.
