Tell me not in scornfui accents
The Woman's club Is but dream,
That its ideals are too narrow
And its influence low or mean.
The club is real and tits earnest
And the ballot not it's goal
But to keep alive within each mem
Der
The ideals of the soul.
Let us then attend the meetings
And for this to gain some food
Still reviewing. still discussing
Topics for our nations good.
