C.; Miss Addie Wait, Normal, Ala.; Mrs. Frances Preston, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Lucy Hereford, Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. Mary Shadd Carey, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Carrie L. Steele, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Bertha B. Cook, Wilmington, Del.; Mrs. R. H. Long, Columbus, Mo.; Mrs. E. L. Boone, Columbus, Mo.; Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. M. C. Terrell, Washington, D. C.; Miss Lucy Laney, Mrs, Alice Vassar, Lynchburg, Va.
