the life OF me recall-wound up an
impassioned plea for support with
the words. Ladies, we are your
ardent suitors" To which Clifford

not your suitors. We have been mar

there will be a review of what has
been achieved under the leadership of
Miss Alice Paul and a presentation OF

whether future chapters are to be
written by the organization. All who
have worked and waited are now
asking. what next?"
