Making in Their Work.
Editor HOmdH'S Column Morning Gail:
1t is gratifying to note the progress that is
being made quietly, perhaps slowly. but
surely, by the Pacific Coast Women's Press
Association, through their earnest efforts to
establish their work upon a substantial
basis for purposes of genuine usefulness.
That the association is growing in favor is
attested by the fact of real estate and funds
having been proffered them by prominent
citizens TO facilitate the work undertaken
by them. Legal acceptance of gifts is not
in order until after articles of Incorporation
are taken out. consequently active measures
are in process to this end.
1t would be difficult to read articles that
have been recently published on Builders
of the Commonwealth or Suggestions for
Californians.'"' and the "CIrcular Letter
to Members" written by the Cores pond
Ing Secretary, Mrs. E. 7. Y. Parkhurst,
without recognizing in them the
LOVE OF HOME AND COUNTRY
SO characteristic Of patriotic pride and the
natiye-born Californian. The policy of
work adopted by the association Is in SYM
patty and harmony with every progressive
and worthy movement for the development
and growth OF California and deserves
hearty cooperation of Institutions where
their work can be made supplemental. 1t
would be folly to ignore woman's presence
and power in affairs of general welfare.
when the fact IS so strongly made manifest
everywhere that woman is an element of
success, and that she has come TO stay.
Among active members who have been
given prominence and received recognition
recently in the East are Miss E. d. Keith
(Di Vermont, whose portrait adorn5 full

Journalism accompanies the portrait. In
