PRESS CLUB, From October jrt igor to October jr, 1906, with a brief history of the first decade. Lydia D. Alder historian. The U W. Press Club was organized at the Woman's Exponent office October 31, 1891, as a result of a number of letters that had been sent out calling a meeting. On that occasion a number of women writers met together. Mrs. E. B. Wells was chosen temporary chairman, and Mrs: Julia I. McDonald secretary pro tern. A permanent organization was effected, with Mrs. E. B. Wells president, Susa'Y, Gates first L. Lula Greene Richards second vice- president, 'Martha A.'

Committee. held Appointed at the meeting January 31,1900, The original intention of the Club. was carried out, those assigned on the pro- gram preparing themselves with original articles, poems ot addresses. The history of the first decade of the Club, written and read by its writer, Lydia D. Alder, at its tenth'annual meeting, shows that the Club has had a brilliant career. The same history was later published in full in the Woman's Exponent. Many of its first members are still forging ahead in the literary world. Some are holding newspaper positions of note today, both at home and abroad. Ada M Patterson, one of the latter, is on the staff of the New Yprk Journal and even now keeps in touch with the Club. Josephine Spencer a writer of great merit, is on the staff of the Dcscrci 'News, while others are regular writers for the home magazines, as well as those of the east. At the present time, Dr, R B. Pratt, name changed to Penrose, is abroad in the missionary field with her husband, Charles W.. Penrose, president of the European mission. - Letters from her are prized by h.er friends.. They show no decrease inner interest of those so long affociated with her in the uplifting of won J. Perhaps no club in the state or nation has been represented like the U. Wf.
