Business Women's Club Member Submits Poem The following poem composed by Miss Darleine Bronson was read at a recent meeting of the Roseville Bustness and Professional Women's Club, causing much amusement: THE B. P. W. C.

A group of girls and women Got together "long last tall; And decided that the B. P. Should include us one and al So today we all are members Of woman's largest clan, And we each must do our part To put over every plan. It has brought about a spirit Of friendliness and fun, All we hope to do is. carry out The work we have begun.

Some members sell us foodstuffCandy, novelties and dry goods from the store, Then there's those who teach our children That two and two make four. There are some who work with figures, As capable as can 1 be, And some who write the news About you and you and me. We have those who take our money And add its interest for us, And others who with music talents Could rate in any chorus. There's one whom we would call upon When our last call we heed, And one who takes our pictures Or lends us books to read. We have those who curl our hair And give our nails a sheen, Then too, those who sell our clothes, And some who keep them clean.

And if we're feeling very low And pep and strength we lack, There's one who can remodel us By working on our back. There are those whose smile we love to see When we meet them on the street, But never like to see them When they're helping pull our teeth. There are some who ably nurse us And fill us up with pills, And one who sells us sea food To drive away our ills. One member sells cosmetics To make us look so gay, Another sells postage stamps And sends our parcels away. us, We have an able captain To which we all agree, And with her crew we're capable Of sailing any sea.

So let us all remember, We're sailing one big boat, And it takes the work of all of us To keep B. P. W. C. afloat.
