April Twenty-Seventh

To the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs--Greetings:

To friends and to lovers 'tis ever a pleasure

To yield graceful gifts in right royal measure.

None other perhaps so truly expresses

The subtitle endearment in these hearts of ours,

As the sending of messengers daintily laden

With Nature's best beauties--a bouquet of flowers.

With fulsome desire to express at its best

The goy in our guests that in us reposes

We offer so gladly this bright April day

The whole of our deary loved "City of Roses."

May Seventh...........................................................................................................................................................Mrs. H. G. Martin
