Miss Clay:-

Of course you are rejoicing with all of us over the
good news from Illinois. Isn't it splendid the way things are
coming on!

I am writing now to ask if through you I can procure a copy

. Kentucky
of the year-book of theAState Federation of Women's Clubs. kw
object is to send the secretary of each of the smaller clubs a
marked copy of the Woman's Journal containing a review of hrs.
Olive Tilford Dargan's last book of plays. Some one who knows
about publishing has said that this is a good way to help the
sale of a book written by a Kentucky author. Hrs. Bargan is a
very dear personal friend of mine, and I am also a great admirer
of her book.i§he year book or the Federation can be bought) just
let me know the price and where to send the money,and I will send
for it.
With cordial regards to your sisters and all mutual

friends,

Always yours affectionately,

of the lemphie “reee, which came out at the Iri-ﬁtete Fair, just
a few days before her death; and I eﬂd a few lines from a letter to

" You have not yet heara of the death of my dear mother lest Sat-

my theme was wholely whimsical, - the limitations of my own sex when it
touches the suffrage movement, and I must say that I feel this morning
that I am my own best illustration of my theme.

My only hape is that if this sort of thing has ever happened to you, you
will appreciate how powerless one feels to set the matter right.

may I have your permission to send a copy of this letter to anyone who
has been treated to I“iss Gordon's attack upon me?

November 5, 1915

I was astounded to learn last night that a private letter, distinctly not
for publication, which I wrote to Miss Mary marshall, editor of the Woman's
Page of the WASHINGTON HERALD, réferring to some suffrage material which
had Been sent her, was printed on October 23rd without my knowledge or per~
mission. In order to print it she had to expunge the paragraphs which show
that it was a private letter dealing with affairs in her department and

not "a letter to the editor".

I did not see it after it was published and

neither did Miss Smith of our Congressional Committee, and it was only
yesterday when the members or the National Board began to receive those
letters from Miss Kate Gordon and Miss Ida Porter Boyer that I learned
what use had been.made of it.

My dealings with Miss Marshall had led me to assume that she was a suffra-
gist, for she had certainly handled the material sent'her in a very intel-
ligent way, but I have since been advised by our Washington office that

she has stated that she is an anti and will only use suffrage material when

it suits her!

I cannot tell you how'distressed-I am that my jocose and exaggerated re~
marks have found their way into print. I would not weald your feelings or
those of anyone who knew and appreciated the unselfish.devotion of Henry

. Blackwell to the suffrage movement.

as I do.

Dr. Shaw feels as badly about it

THE BLUE SKY is greater than all the clouds

in it, and it lasts longer. —]e(m Paul Ric/zzc'r.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is
full of the overcoming of it. —Helen Kfll-fi‘.

We ourselves must Pilgrims be,

Launch our Mayﬂower, and steer boldly
through the desperate winter sea,

Nor attempt the Future’s portal with the

Past’s blood—rusted key.
—]ames Russell Lowell.

It makes no difference Whether we be sixty,
seventy or eighty, life still holds new interests,
new possibilities. The real secret lies in being
ready to adapt one’s self to new conditions as
they arise, to engage in new activities, to use the
wisdom that the years have brought, not to
simulate a superﬁcial youthfulness, but to form

a sympathetic bond with youth.
——Maml Nat/25222.
«@9015

 

  

 Our life is short, and yet we must strive to
make it clean and perfect, by bringing it into
the sunlight of wisdom and leaving it as our
homage to the future. Through the unhur-
ried accomplishment of daily tasks, through

the acceptance of joy and sorrow as part of

our great destiny, through untiring struggle,

let us fearlessly rid ourselves of all that
obscures reality from us. —Tagore.

If you care for your own children, you
must take an interest in all; for your children
must go on living in the world made by all
children. —-—-Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

That man or race is on the downward path
Whose ﬁbre grows too soft for honest wrath.

--]ames Russell Lowell.

Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the
safest thing we. have.

——-Harry Emerson Fosdiek.

Of ihe revereni love we bear:

 With Best Easter Wishes

However dark the troubled year,
Bright Easter brings a breath of cheer.
The lilies’ silver trumpets say,

"Arise, arise on Easter Day.

If instead of a gem, or even a ﬂower, we
could implant a lovely thought in the heart
of a friend, that would be giving as the

angels give.
—Gc«’0rge MacDonald.

A minority which is ignorant, selﬁsh, and
cruel can drag a nation down to its doom;
a minority which is intelligent, public-
spirited, and self-sacriﬁcing may lift a nation

to the stars.
—Carrz'e Clzaﬁmm Catt.

Every day brings a ship,
Every ship brings a word;
Well for those who have no fear,
Looking seaward well assured
That {the word the vessel brings
Is the word they wish to hear.
