May 26, 1928 WINNETKA TALK OLD SOUTH CUSTOMS TO GREET CLUB WOMEN Federation's Convention to Be Held in San Antonio, Texas, Beginning May 28 When 10,000 women from all parts of the United States meet in San Antonio May 28 for the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs and 40,000 more assemble there on October 8 for the annual national convention of the American Legion Auxiliary, they will find the last strong- hold remaining in the United States of old-fashioned devotion to an aristo- cratic social ritual and elaborate social convention. In addition to the many things of historic and scenic appeal in this Southwestern country, they will find also the old Spanish customs and the influences of two centuries under the rule of Spain. The tradition of the Moorish restraint of woman, brought in in this way, has had a big influence and still persists as a vital factor in social relations. Large German Settlement Another powerful factor working in the same direction is found in the very large German element which has set- tled in San Antonio and all Texas. The German woman is, traditionally, very much circumscribed and has for centuries been held pretty much to the old ideal of "Hausfrau" and "Haus- mutter." With these two influences in the direction of conservatism in woman's economic and social relations goes a third perhaps even more powerful. San Antonio and all this part of the country, from the standpoint of its American elements, was settled almost exclusively by people from the old South--from Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia, where the aristo- cratic idea of protection, and also re- striction, of women reached its full flower. Old Influnces Modified These influences have, it is true, been tremendously modified by modern con- ditions and ideas, especially the idea of greater freedom for woman, and also by the cosmopolitan population which is to a surprising degree characteristic of San Antonio. But they play a large part in giving the cast to society here. Only within the past six months or so, for instance, have women ventured to smoke in public in San Antonio. More of the courtesies and formalities are observed in business as well as so- cial life than in the north and east. Women in offices expect, and receive, those old-time courtesies and attentions which have very largely vanished from the business atmosphere of the hurry- ing north and east. Men still very generally give up their seats in street cars and busses to women and remove their hats when women are in office building elevators. Return From Vassar to Participate in Wedding The Misses Cynthia and Suzanne Kohlsaat, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Kohlsaat of 777 Bryant avenue, returned home Wednesday, May 23, from Vassar college, where they are members of the junior class, to be bridesmaids in the wedding of Miss Mary Jacoby today. Last Wed- nesday evening they entertained the bridal party. They will return to college tomorrow. Recently at Vassar Miss Cynthia designed the border for a series of twelve special dinner plates being made for the college alumnae by an English concern. Fach plate is decorated in the center with a different view of the campus.
