L.

During 1901-1902, Mrs. Emma Gilpin and Mrs. IS. C. Moore each served ns president for .a; tline. The program being for tho' year was Oregon history but again they had ono meeting with a "homey theme." Tho roll call was ans wered with "seasonable menus.' The subject was "lHygicno in the Homo" and a paper was read on "A Model Dinner for Moderate People and How to Serve It." Old timers also whispered about that someone wrote a paper on "A Mod el Husband." Miss Anson's Administration Miss Margaret Anson began her administration In 1 902, with twenty nine members and three honorary members.- Mrs. .Kiln.; Higglnson. author of the poem "Tho Four Leuf Clover" had at ono time lived in La Grande and between civic-pride and admiration for the poem and Its author Hho was made nn .hon orary member.. Mrs. Louise Bright and Mrs. Laura D. Nash, tho latter a past - president,.- wero also - hon ored. Perhaps tho most outstand ing accomplishment .of tho year besides on Intensive study of Italy, was the bringing of an outsider to give a coursa olV five lectures. Though the order of the lecturer's various names was not agreed upon at the present time. One fact. was certain. During ono of the lectures the lady wore a beautiful dress which she confided was bought in a storo In Portland already made. La Grande ladles had seen many tailored suits for women but looked upon a "ready-made" dress for the first, time. Miss Margaret Anson wore "a best silk" taffeta gown caught at the throat with a breast pin. And tho material In , her skirt Not even the tips of. her shoes showed when she sat. . In H'03 under MYs.

Ah there was not a one to be purchased In Jji Grande tho club sent for It and U e cx press c ha rges we re $2.50. Tho big debate of the year was: 'Resolved: That equal suffrage w oil Id be beneficial to Oregon." it bus been reported that Mrs. Tur ner Oliver was placed on the nega tivo side. Tho social high-light was "Husband's Night." Kven the gentlemen's names were Russian ized. But they enjoyed the bnn quct! Thero wer twenty-six mem bers. In lt)0G Mrs. "Walter Brenholts begun her term of office. The Bay View reading course on Kngland. Scotland, Ireland and Wales fur nished the program material for the year. An aster show was held with prices given for the best yards, best cut flower exhibit, best single bouquet, and the most per fect and largest single blossom. Tho club persuaded tho railroad company to beautify its grounds und tho civic committee reported ufter a conference with O.-W. It. & N. officials that they wero hope ful of getting a new depot build ing. Reports show ?U.7 in the treasury ut the end of the year and forty-three members in the club. A motion was made that if tho city would buy a dumping ground tho club would fene.o it if they could have tho privilege of using the wulls for advertising space. ' Several Changes Mrs. A. T.

The number on the board of directors was changed from three to fivo members. A sergeant of arms was appointed aH care taker of the club rooms. Dur ing this year tho La Grande pub lic library had its inception. The aster show was again held and the outstanding social event, was the "t'hanford Tea" given at Mrs. George Palmer's. All dressed in cos tume, and had their pictures taken. Caraway cookies seems the . best remembered ()f the refreshments. Mrs. A. T. Hill wore a big wide brimnieU black hat sitting up on tot of her head with simply enor mous black and while plumes curl ed In tho approved manner waving delightfully at every head move ment. Sho wore an ermine fur as a cotlur of a navy blue velvet suit consisting of a full-gored skirt and' tight form-fitting jacket. And her spats showed. Statu. Federal Ion. -;ntert allied Mrs. A. K. Ivanhoe, president in 3 908-09 had as the outstanding event of her year the meellng of tho Stale Federation In l.a Grande. Too, the scholarship loan fund 'vns started. Programs were mostly literary and membership had grown to. sixty-five. Mrs. Ivanhoe later became county school super intend cut. Mrs. K. Polack was president during 1909-ia. For the first time various interests were used and each program was on a different STATE thome, as the pre-ient programs.

Her dross waa cream and truly of 1910 vintage and was of that light cotton yet like wool material rare ly seen now. In 1910-H when Mrs. J. K. Wright was president, "depart ments" wero "tried out." These department were literature (Shukespears ontirely, and mostly King Lear); domestic science (their outlines for tho year sound liko a model course of present day lec tures): history (Kgypt which de partment dropped by the waysldo from lack of Interest); and a psy chology department. Meetings wero held In two rooms in Miss Hilda Anthony's home. During the year two big events were the aster show and tho scholarship loan fund day. The club made Improvements on the hospital grounds and voted money for shade trees on the park ing around the new public library. As tho city commission began set ting out trees tho club put the money In on the Improvement of tho lot itself. Tho big thing of tho year was tho experiment with "departments." MJia. Wright wore a black velvet turban and a long black dress shlnily bended. Over it she wore a blaek and white hocked coat with short white kid gloves. ltec-eptlun for Teachers In 1H11-J2 under Mrs. J. li, Btout programs centered about "London and Its surroundings." Perhaps be cause Mrs. Stuot was wife of a city school superintendent and thus qulto Interested in teachers she began u pleasant custom by having an evening roception for the teach ers in tho schools nnd for mem bers of the school-board. During this administration meetings were held in Ho nun hull. As It was al ready furnished the club sold their belongings except for their precious dictionary and pictures.

Also the gover nor's wife was entertained nt Mrs. ivtfi McDonald's home. The or chid hat worn by Mrs. .1. T. ltleh a id sun with Its largo orchid plume and wide brim must have been tho pride of her heart. With it she wore an elaborate black silk dress with big sleeves, many ruffles and pleats. It might have been tho first reiidy-inndo dress In l.n Grande. Of course- she wore ex ceptionally long white kid gloves. Mrs. Vincent Palmer was presi dent In 1913.
