The American Woman's League.
For those interested in League notes,
here is what Mrs. Nellie II. Lambson,
of Vancouver, Washington. State Com
mander OF the Lady Maccabees Of the
world, Gays about 1t, she having joined
the Spokane Chapter and will return to
Vancouver aud organize me there.
/" Il can hardly conceive of a higher
project for women, especially Tor wo-
men who are dependent upon their own
efforts in any degree. The financial
side of the League makes IL very at
tractive TO one who knows something
OF the way money accumulates when
laid out wisely. The League has great
institutions behind 1t and wonderful
opportunities for investment besides
the special endowment Of the Founders
Chapter given il by Mr., Lewis. The
promises made by ii do not 70 me seem
at all unreasonable.
The following letter from the Presi
dent of the Edwardsville, III, Chapter
will also speak for itself.
Edwardsville. Ill,
July 10, 1910.

in saying that cur dealings have been
Of the most gratifying nature.
We have a handsome class III Chapter
house here and a chapter membership
Of forty four ladies and six gentlemen.
our chapter membership is constant

the chapter.
Many Of our chapter members are
taking advantage of the correspondence
courses offered by the Peoples Univer-

The community in w%hioh-we live is
a wealthy one, thoroughly progressive
and up TO the minute, having miles
of paved streets, electric lights, city
water, electric and steam railroads,
sewerage, etc. yet il took an American
Womans League chapter house to
make the world AT large "sit up and
take notice" of ~.
Our chapter house is the JOY and
pride OF all the property holders living
adjacent to 1t. They will admit that
they are glad IL is there and that its
presence has increased the beauty and
value OF property for blocks aronud.
II Is simply a matter of not being

Many OF the leading publishing con-
