Croly said: "I want English and American women to love each other. I remember with pride and honor my English birth. I can see my little room now a small room with a lattice window over which the roses grew, and as I stood at the window on tiptoe, I could look into the old-fashioned garden below.

Croly had a special claim to this distinction, for she was the originator of women's clubs. The first woman's club was founded by her in New York, March, 1868, under the name of "Sorosis."

Croly sufficiently rested to see visitors, Grandma Elsie and Rosie called upon them there. They were mutually pleased Mrs. Croly delighted with the prospect of having so charming a daughter as Rosie.
When the life-membership fee had been paid, some money still remained, and when the question arose as to what should be done with it, Lady Hamilton made the valuable suggestion that it should be used as the foundation of a fund to be called "The Mrs. Croly Memorial Fund," to be applied in sisterly loving kindness to such cases as might arise within the club, where urgent material help was needed.
Croly formulated in 1890 her well-matured plan for a general federation of women's clubs, and with the cordial assistance of the "Mother Club, Sorosis," issued the first call for representatives of women's clubs of all the States to meet. Stimulated by the success of the General Federation, Mrs.
