clubs, in her address before the open
| ing meeting of the Woman's club at
the North A Street Friedns' church

| Enumerating the things which the
clubwomen of Indiana are trying to do
! Mrs. Rumpler stressed the Importance
of the relation of the woman to her
club, showing the influence that the
relation of each individual to her club
had in it's relation to the state club,
and the state club to the national or
ganiZation.

| less in their regard for law" Mrs.

graduate themselves on getting by

may seem small things but they form
! the foundation of loyalty
