whose letter is given below:
Baltimore, June 26, 1928.
How l wish | might be with you at
your luncheon, but since this is not
possible, may l not send little mes
sage to the members of the Oakland
Civic Club?
1t is most pleasing to me that one
of my first messages, as President OF
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, should be to one of my own
Maryland clubs. | have always been
proud of our Maryland clubwomen
and the things for which they stand,
and I am looking for them to do even
greater things in the coming years.
One cannot live in the present and
dwell mentally in the past, and those
who would be successful must not
only think in the present but in the
future. They must be willing to give
Of their time, their strength, their
talents and their love. But one Of
the great compensatiOns Of our Fed
Grafton work is the feeling that we
are always gaining new friends. We
must be tolerant and wise and look
for the best in our friends and best
in our clubs, and we will grow our
selves.
l thank each one of you for the
loyal support you have always given
me and | bespeak your love and CO.
operation throughout the coming
years so that my administration will
be one of which you Maryland women
will be proud.
Cordially and faithfully yours,
BETTE M. SIPPEL.
