it all implies-a home for the Spaulding

earnest, sincere women and men named
themselves the Pearl chapter. a gem to
begin with, you see, and in honor oi
one dear to us all j.. Later on they de-
cided to rename the chapter and be-
come the Spaulding chapter.
"Pearl Adams Spaulding is the
woman's friend. To go into detail ano
tell of her great and noble DEEDS OF
helnfulness to sisters in distress would
be impossible. In the name OF the
American Woman's league she has ac-
complished wonders for the women OF
the land in the west and beyond the
majestic Rockies, and she has just be-
gun to hand out the corn from Egypt
her plans and purposes for US here and
evervwhere in this broad land are al
most without limit. We are proud she
is the president of the Los Angeles
chapter. Sisters, be loyal to her as you
are to the great purpose of the league

sweet and simple as child IN mel
snirituaI devoutness. She loves you
one and all as sisters, in spirit and IN
truth. I have a message from her
hea ring greetings to you for this grea'
a achievement which brings us togetner

"sI am with you in spirit at the lay
ing of the corner stone of your beautl-
fuI chapter house which is to form the
