The frogs still cry, Knee deep; Knee
 deepl"
 Among it's starlit pools, When dim the woodland dreams, asleep.
 And dusk it's waters cools: The firefly round it's hanks of ferns
 Hang will-o'-w wisps for lamps. Where in place no eye ciscerns
 Entertainments host encamps. The bats above 1t go and come
 In reeling rigadoons, While Elfland beats bettle drum
 Or cricket fiddles tunes. And in and out and all about
 The pixy people dance To katydid song and green frog gong
 That holds the woods a-trance The moon looks, listening, through the trees As if to hear it's calls, Or with long arms of light to seize It's twinkling waterfalls. With Witch'ry, who. with foam white band, Its shimmering banks between, Beckons from sand to riffled sand To something far, unseen. ghost that leans beside it still The phantom of boy Who followed once it's wildwood will With barefoot troops of joy; I The soul of him who yearns afar To see in dusk and dew, l if still it dances with the star Which once his childhood knew.

 'I am pleased to send a greeting to the club women of Arizona, many of them personal friends of years stand rg. Arizona having been one of the states under my special supervision when serving upon the board as 1st vice president of the General Fedora ton.
 The Thirteenth Biennial recently held in New York City was an occas- ion long to be remembered. The pro- gram for the morning sessions pre- sented speakers of world wide repu- tation. The afternoon conferences of all departments were largely attended in spite of all the counter attractions that a city like New York presents. We are glad to welcome upon the board of directors from Arizona, Mrs. H. A. Morgan of Wilcox. and are sure that the Arizona Federation will re- ceive new inspiration and thus be able to cooperate more closely in pushing the great causes in which the General Federation of Womens clubs is en- gagged.
 Cordially yours,
