A Word from the Acting Editor 
Some years ago, in a magazine, there appeared what the author 
was pleased to call "Some Outrageous Verse." As I recollect, one 
ran something like this: 
"Always my soft heart has beat with adulation 
For people who edit and criticize writing. 
Worthy folk, splitting cords of infinitives 
To get up an appetite for a book review. 
I hold my breath in the presence of these people, 
I feel highly humble." 
My attitude toward our Editor always has been "highly humble," 
but now that I have climbed painfully to her eminence for a short 
time, it is not the Editor but the Reader in whose presence I hold my 
breath. 
The Bulletin, like a borrowed child, has filled me with a sense 
of great responsibility toward the parent now sunning herself on the 
Riviera. The conferences we had in New York for three days before 
she sailed, began, ended and were punctuated with "remember the 
addressograph." The following notice is therefore of greatest im- 
portance — to heed as well as read. 
Since an addressograph is about to be ordered for the Garden 
Club of America, it is essential that there should be an absolutely 
correct list from each Member Club. If you have corrections, addi- 
tions, resignations or any changes to report, please do so immediately 
to the Secretary 
Mrs. Harold Irving Pratt, 820 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Resignation of the Treasurer 
The resignation of Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss as Treasurer has 
been accepted with deepest regret by the Directors of the Garden 
Club of America. In retiring from ofi&ce it is hoped that Mrs. 
Auchincloss will continue to give the Board the benefit of her wise 
counsel, tactful co-operation and untiring interest which have helped 
so much in the administration of the Garden Club of America 
in the past seven years. Mrs. William Rand of the Rye Garden 
Club has been appointed to fill the unexpired term.
