children, deserved the title.

Elma Chandlee had a loving sketch of Eliz.
of Belgium, “Queen errant” but “Queen Regnant”, still
who has been an angel of mercy on battle fields
and in the hospitals, of her stricken country.

Marjorie Snowden told of the helpful short
course for women at M. A. C. Like the pupil at
Dotheboys Hall who first spelled “winder” w-i-n-d-e-n,
and was sent to wash the same, a lecture
upon meats was followed by the carving up of

of different cuts. Marjorie hoped more of us

Of her large soul’s abundance and excess,
Her daughter and her mightiest heritress,
Dowered with her thoughts and lit on thy great way

Considering the facts that stand
Around the borning of the daughter’s land.
Say, was the mother soul’s abundance and excess
Sent out across the ocean wilderness
In aid and comfort to that child’s distress?
At Lexington and Bunker Hill
Did mother love and mother skill
