The league voted to give the former

Frances Elizabeth Willard, temperance adyo-
cate and reformer, founded the Worlds Chris
tian Temperance Union, became probably the
bestowed woman of her time, left behind her
a progressing work that will endure as long as
the world endures.
Jane Adams, head of Hull House in Chicago,
made settlement work in that busy, preoccu-
pied, materialistic city such tremendous
power for good that her fame first became ma
tion-wide and then worldwide. She was called
to preside at the Woman's Peace Congress
some months ago. honored as the first woman
of her time in broad humanitarian work.
These are four instances that come first to
mind They could be multiplied indefinitely.
No woman has won permanent hold on the at
lection and admiration of the world through
marriage They have won riches and social
position, ephemeral as the pleasures OF their
kind.
The best way to ''get into the limelight' IS
neither via the altar nor the divorce court,
though they furnish excellent mediums for un-
welcome notoriety. The best way is to do work
that endures, as thousands of women have
proved and are proving. "
