ton of an editor for the national
magazine by the delegates. Miss
Natalie Sumner Lincoln, who WAS
elected by the last congress, resigned
after about 1--WE months service as
editor. following the failure Of the
national board to accept recommends
tons for what Miss Lincoln considered
a more businesslike mana cement of the
magazine. Candidates for the office
probably will be Mrs. Eliza O. penni-
son. who was for three years editor
and who was defeated last year by
Miss Lincoln, and Mrs. Belle Merrill
Draper, for many Years editor of the
genealogical department. who has been
serving by appointment of the board
since Miss Lincoln'S resignation.
This trouble over the editorship of
the magazine grew out of a misunder-
standing that Miss Lincoln, in the
recommends lions she made to the ma
tional board as editor. was in reality
attacking Miss Florence q. Finch,
chairman of the magazine committee.
