Item description from seller

Souvenir program for an event held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York on December 10-12, 1908. 8" x 10.5", [32] pp, with many ads and half-tone photographic illustrations. Old vertical folding crease, one photograph circled in ink; otherwise very good. The Professional Woman's League was formed in 1893 "to bring together women engaged in dramatic, musical, and literary pursuits with the purpose of rendering them helpful to each other." Based in New York and composed primarily of actresses, the League held weekly meetings devoted to different literary topics as well as business matters. Their main philanthropic efforts included maintaining an "extensive stage wardrobe, continued by donations of dresses by celebrated actresses" that members could purchase at minimal or no cost and offering small loans and/or donations to those "overtaken by sudden grief or misfortune." Their funds came from dues, benefit performances, and the proceeds of this annual bazaar. The program includes a list of current officers (the President in 1908 was stage actess and producer Amelia Bingham), photographs of many of the members, and a list of booths at the bazaar and the women responsible for them. Among the booths were an "Art Booth," "Racing Wheel," "Psychic Department," "Book and Stationery Booth," "Candy Booth," "Doll Booth," and "Fish Pond." At the end is a list of contributors that includes (among many others) Samuel Clemens, David Belasco, Frances Willard, Walter Pulitzer, and several major publishers. There are many ads for women's clothing, as well as theatrical performances, and theater and fashion-related publications.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
