Believes In Dignity.
I believe so absolutely in the
strength. dignity. and beauty OF
womanhood. that 1 feel it signifies
today all the love and tenderness,
gentleness. and sympathy one ex-
poets from the feminine nature, with
the added capability. poise and self
reliance of the twentieth century
organized womanhood-
We need our young women to help
with the club movement: their
charming vivacity, and ideals bring
the joy of the morning to older
hearts. like the singing of the birds
and the glory of the dawn.
We surely need more and more
our older women, who have studied
life and its values through the years
of experience and freely give of all
they have received We need the
counsel. wisdom, and guidance of
those who have fought the battle
long and faithfully. and have lived
to see their ideals realized and their
visions proclaimed as reality.
