Wimodaughsis was organized in 1890 as

was no reading-room or library for women,
and no classes available to women engaged
in bread winning.
There are now In Wimodaughsis classes in
typewriting, stenography, English language,
arithmetic, bookkeeping. English literature,
French, Spanish, German, elocution. Del

change, a section for study and discussion of

The house is called the "Woman's Build

mis- body claims to be the largest organi-
zation of women devoted exclusively to char
liable and patriotic work in America if not
in the world, IT'S membership being over
100 900.
The national society is composed of the
national president, past na.iona! presidents,
national senior and junior vice presidents,
national secretary, national treasurer, ma
tional chaplain, national inspector, nation al
counsellor, national instituting and installing
officer, and a national executive beard.
These officers constitute the national coun-
ell. The five members elected by the national
convention annually and the life members
constitute the executive board for the year,
of which the first elected is chairman.
The annual convention proper is COM
posed of delegates from each department,
and one delegate for each 600 memhers. 1t
is a secret society. and the annual meetings
are always beld at the same time and place
as the grand encampment of the G. 4. r.
No president of the past brought TO the Or
der q finer record of achievement than its
present president, Mrs. NJ. K. III. Wallace,
who has been identified with SO many schemes
of national magnitude, and filed all her offices
of trust so well.
Mrs. Wallace was one of the Chicago COM
mittee of ladies who visited Washington to
secure from Congress the naming of Chicago
as the place for holding tine Columbian Ex-
position. She was also woman commits
sioner of the great Fair, and worked inde-
fatgably up to the close, contributing
greatly to the success of the women's depart
ment
Mrs. Wallace has for years been actively
engaged in the philanthropic movements of
her city. She is a member of the Chicago
Woman's Club, the Womans Exchange, and
is member of the Chicago Woman's Press
Association.
She has been heartily identified with Relief
Corps work from the start, and her wedding
tour was to the seat OF war in the South,

effective work in the West, where the first
star of universal State suffrage has appeared
on the forehead of Wyoming, and now
another on Colorado.
Those were the days of ridicule throughout
the Union. Men looked askance and women
generally were shocked by such radical SEN
timeDt. But the mother OF the movement has
lived to witness the greatest change in public
sentiment toward this reform.
Until 1892 Mrs Stanton was president of
the National American Suffrage Association,
and from 1856 to 1865 she served as president
OF the national committee of the suffrage
party. On the voluntary retirement of Mrs.
Stanton from the executive chair Susan B.
Anthony was unanimously elected to take it.
1t came to her as gift on her seventieth
birthday in terms such as the toilers in un-
popular reforms are seldom privileged to be
addressed.
For tweDty-four years the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association has made
it's annual pilgrimage to the National Can't
tai. But IN Difference to growing opinion
the influence OF such a body would be
weighty elsewhere. it was decided last year to
carry it on journey elsewhere every other
year.
The first departure from the annual pil-
grimage to the Capital City has Just taken
place in the recent gathering of the clans at
Atlanta. Ca, where the reception to the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage Association
was of such a cordial nature as to dispel any
fears one may have entertained lest the pro-
gressive union should have no show in the
South.
From being considered an erratic, radical
institution, it has gradually called to itself
such women of character and influence that it
has gained recognition, socially, in the high
est circles.
The late Mrs. Noble, wife OF the Secre-
tary OF the Interior during the Harrison ad-
ministration, gave fine reception to the off,
GERS and delegates Of the association with as
much state and ceremony as though these
women were all of the official circle, instead
