organization. a list vas made con-
tanning the names of those who were
known to favor such a movement.
These ladies were not personal friends
Of the promoters. Everywhere the pro-
position met with fattering reception.
AS the mex step, those who had un-
hesitatingly favored the movement
were invited tn meet at the home of
Mrs. Christie and decide upon the form
of call to be issued. From the first IL
was desired that the club should he I'M

should be so issued as to reach the
stranger as well as the woman who
was known. II was finally agreed that
the press would be the best medium
through which the greatest numbers
could be cached. Those who were
present at hat meeting and took part
IN the deliberations were Mrs. 7. w.
