Description

The Co-operative Club of Los Angeles has gained 1800 new members through their adoption of the Camp Fire Girl groups throughout the city at a ceremony at the Biltmore.
A large group of the Camp Fire Girls sit on the floor around a candle display. Half of them are wearing costumes that are inspired by the clothing of Native Americans. Officials of the Co-Operative club stand behind them watching the display.
