Moves on: nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

FOREWORD
BOVE the turmoil of the
city there arises a blatant
call. It is the bugle of
unrest, the instrument of Democ-
racy. This master influence has
awakened humanity till now, at
the dawn of the twentieth cen-
tury, practically every daughter of
Chicago has set her given standard
of attainment and has striven
earnestly toward her goal. Many
have won their honors and borne
them gracefully hence this scroll,
that we may record, for the annals
of time, Chicago's Prominent
Women and their activities, lest
we forget, in the glories of the
future, the honors of the hour.
HE "Chicago Social and Club Register"
is the first book to be published, in
recognition of Chicago Women and their
achievements. It is of particular value
as in many instances it will be the
only printed record of the life work of
many Women prominent in the Civic,
Philanthropic, Professional, Commercial and
Political circles of our city.
A most sincere effort has been made to procure
authentic data from all eligible for inclusion.
However, in many instances names will be lack-
ing which should have been included, but in
practically all such cases the omission is not due
to any lack of effort on the part of the compilers.
The "Chicago Social and Club Register" may
be used as a dependable reference book in as
much as space for the sketches was not purchas-
able and the edition is in no respect a commer-
cial venture. Facts in nearly every instance have
been personally procured and in the compilation
of this edition we have made an earnest effort
to give Chicago an authentic biographical refer-
ence book of her Women and their attainments.
