The members of the V-oman's club l assembled in the new club house yes | terday afternoon for the first time 1 and the meeting was devoted prin-
 cipally to general felicitations and
 thanksgiving that such comfortable
 home has been provided for the club The president, Mrs. B. A. Fowler
 delivered the welcoming address. In part she said:
 ''To what purpose have we builded? | That the club may enjoy the comforts of a commodious, well-equipped home;
 that in this harmonious environment | all club activities may have larger growth: hat there may be expand | ing interests, deeper hold on the pub | lie confidence, broader conception of cur opportunities and duties-in fact. ! let us hope that we have not build ed to ourselves alone," but that. as 1 the years come and go, this home may be the center from which shall radiate into the homes and hearts of men. into the city's life and in stitutions. influences, woman,y influ- ences. which shall be purifying, en- nCblins unbuilding; unless We hold eyer before ourselves this high pur- pose and move onward toward this goal, We shall have builded in vain and we shall have failed to measure up to the ideals which have inspired this club house.
 And then Mrs. Fowler suggested thought of those who aided in the erection of the buildng-'the club members. those who began this task. the Phoenix friends of the club busi- ness and professional men distant friends of the club. other women's clubs in Arizona. the board of trus- tees which has so faithfully discharg- ed it's duties. the chairman of the board. Mrs. Dwight B. Heard for her energy. ability and generous gifts of time and money. Mrs. Walter Talbot the careful and energetic treasurer of the board MT. Royal w. Lcschet. the architect. for his skin and courtesy. and the contractor. MT. w. J. Riley"
 Then Mrs Fowler spoke of the mis- sion of the club. In the city's hos pitality to honored guests we should share generously and graciously, as opportunity may be offered: our watchfulness of the city's needs in sanitation, in orGerliness and beauty. in good government, in public in- struction. in all public institutions. should keep pace with the city's growth and our energies in these di- | rectiOns should never lag but be often in the lead It will be our privilege | to rejoice at the birth of the new state and to help in making its insti- | tutions worthy by the breadth and
 strength of our interest in them" Then after dealing with the direct | operation of the club. Mrs. Fowler
 said in conclusion. "I turn quickly to
 the conception of power. the power | of organization the culminative in
 flucnce which goes out from many
 minds turned in the same direction.
 Here is our opportunity and here our enlarged field of action. We are
 rejoicing to day in the beauty and strength of our material structure, what are we thinking about the ! structure of influence and achieve | ment which we are also building? As l from the mountain height. the rivers | flow down to the valleys ard the wa ters are carried in numberless streams
 to the waiting soil producing com | fort and beauty. turning poverty and misery into affluence and peace, so may we from the heights of our nobIest aspirations ard attachments send down into waiting opportunities streams of concentrated influence and nIf ln community"
 And here is our own'-and the strains of Home Sweet Home were heard-effectively finishing Mrs. Fow- ler's address and giving the members an opportunity for silent contempla- ton of the blessings of a home.
