The former has been strongly urged py

tober and elects its officers biennially.
Would it not be we'll for Utah TO follow
her example? It would make a yearly
interchange of courtesies possible, they
coming TO us one year, we going TO them
the next.
I earnestly ask the cooperation of
every woman present to make this meet
ing a success. There is so mucn 10 De

oughly but make your arguments TO the
point and do not waste time in almless
discussion. The board of directors voted
in January TO limit the reports of clubs
TO three minutes and the papers to 80.
The chair would gladly have been re
lieved from the duties of time-keeper, but
they were forced upon her and she VIII
try to perform them faithfully. VIII you
not make the duty easier BY not exceed
ing the limits imposed?
One more thing 1 would ask of you, to
be exactly punctual TO all sessions. As
far as possible they will begin on the
stroke of the hour, and you will surely
show to the speakers the courtesy of
being present when they begin. I'VE all
know from experience how annoying it
is to be interrupted. Let US in the matter
of punctuality set an example to the
community.
In this as in all things. I would ask OF
you that most admira BILE of all qualities. |
loyalty, without which no love is endur- |
ing, no friendship Is worth the name /
Not that loyalty which says of my
friend. She has no faults" but that |
which says: She may have faults, but !
those very faults are dear to me. l love |
her and will help her to overcome them, /
knowing that she in her turn will help |
me-" In this spirit of loyalty let us meet |
on this grand occasion of togetherness,' - |
with the will TO make our federation all /
that is good and noble, bearing gently |
with each others faults, for we love one |
another.
The remainder of the morning was
devoted to the business routine of the
Federation, after which the meeting
adjourned until p. m.
