Inspired Organization. "This club was first evolved in March, 1889, from the reading of Julia Ward Howe's address, "Organizations of Women" by Mrs. Harbert at her home In Evanston.

The telegram follows: "To the Woman's club of Evans- ton, Ill. Beloved co-workers--May the foundations you have so faithfully laid in remarkable harmony, love and wis- dom, result in a temple beautiful, from whose every window shall radiate the light of truth, and whose doors, as they have ever done for almost a quarter of a century, open quickly into every avenue of helpful service for the weak, the invalid, the child, the school, the church of the Master, who went about doing good, the state and the home. The practical help re- ceived, from the Inception of the club, from fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons, is proof positive of the true wom- anliness of our members. May our work continue to be inclusive, rather than exclusive, interdependent rather than independent and promotive of the highest spiritual Interest of the en- tire familyhood of the creator.
