. JXGBANDE kroONG OBSERVER, 1 ! SATURDAY; JUNE 7, 1913. PAGE TTrr.TT ' A fitting climax to a very success' yful year's work of the Ladies' Neigh borhood club came , last Tuesday in the club breakfast given at the home of Mrs. P. A. McDonald ; on First street,. ' e The tables were most artistically decorated in the club colors, yellow and white. The centerpieces consisted of full rigged ships, their yellow hulls and white sails reflecting in the mirrors upon which they rested, while the i - a i i snores 01 meats miniature seas were formed by banks of yellow roses.. In all the minor accessories the same color scheme prevailed making a very nleasin? effect ; A delicious four course breakfast was served after which the president, Mrs. J. T. Richardson, introduced Mrs. F. S. Ivanhoe as toast mistress. Mrs. Ivanhoe, in her own charminc manner congratulated the club upon the work it was doing and the things it stands for. Then explaining that for the V morning .the organization was to be called a ship, introduced as the first speaker, Mrs. Turner Oliver, who, by virtue of having filled every office from scrubbing the deck to steering the ship's course, would be well able to handle the subject, "Our Ship." Mrs. Oliver described the launching of the ship with the few charter mem bers as crew and Mrs. Cavanna to guide the ship's course. Quoting from Longfellow's "Building of the Ship" There Is more Catarrh in this section of the- country than all other diseases put together, and until the last tew years was Buprosed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced It lncurablo. Sci ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.

With' the model ship constantly in view Mrs. Cavanna allowed no slight est detail of parliamentary law to be ignored, saying: "Follow well this plan of mine, Choose the timbers with greatest : care; . : Of all that Ss unsound, beware, For only what is sound and strong To this vessel must belong." A brief history of the voyage of the club ship followed, telling of coun tries visited, the growth in numbers of the ship's crew and the life boats added to the ship's equipment among which are the Child Welfare Boat and the Civic Improvement Boat.

S ,i , A vocal solo, "May Morning," by Mrs. "A. L. Richardson, was, so beau tifully rendered that all the joy of the nerfect day seemed expressed in the fitting melody. To a very enthu siastic encore Mrs. Richardson grace fully responded. , "TVio Nw Cantain" was the sub iect taken by Mrs. Vincent Palmer. With congratulations to the retiring captain upon her success, ana woras of commendation for the untiring zeal and the ability she had shown in the discharge of her duties, Mrs. Palmer expressed the hope that the new offi cers might be able to hold to the standard set by their predecessors. Then outlining the plan for the next voyage, she urged that the Club Ship might ever stand for progress and for whatever tends to the betterment and the uplift of humanity. Mrs. Albert Hunter very ably han- died the subject, "The Crew."

Eager to set him on his course once more And side by side guide safely into port." Mrs. Loughlin was next introduced by the toastmistress as a seeress who would answer the question, ."Whith er Bound?"

Making it a story of a ship's cruise, among breakers at times but finally coming out into calm waters with the haven in view. - To the closing toast, "Our Bills, or the Man Left at Home." Mrs. J. JJ.
