Three Decades Ago As Sewnig Club
(Continued from Pago One)
n "liouso-warming"- with tho Tues
day Musical furnishing music with
their chorus and mandolin and
guitar club, an outstanding mem
ber being-Mrs, A. L. Hlchardson,
With tho- possession of 1 new club
rooms of their own tho Neighbor
hood club proudly looked for other
work to bo done.- And so. by taU
lug a pormnncnt home tho club be
came a ctvio organization..
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. W. A. Wors
tell tho year books were discon
tinued and typewritten sheets clip
ped together substituted tho
money save'd to be used on club
rooms. Tho program, theme was
"Art." Various. ;. schools , iwere
studied. The precedent .of .guests
being invited hy tho program. lend
er began and a critic and .a -reporter
were appointed for each meet
ing. New members wero balloted
on. Abo they .petitioned . Hie cjly
eouncif 4r oh'fm ntpwhoialh??' :
Jn 1904 under Mrs. J. D. Slater
tho membership was stilt small.
They studied Oregon birds and In
fliuus. Tho outstanding program
was "Sacajawea Day." the refresh
ments served being Indian pudding
mush and milk. ,
Mi. Gork'e Carpy. ' preside??
In 190G, reviewed tho year book
and this year the club study was
HuHsla and Japan. Tho oustaml
ing eventof tho year was tho buy-.
Ing of the dictionary for tho fab
ulous sum of $8. 85. 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. Hill was president in
1 907 and 1 9 US. Programs were
based on literature of standard au
thors. Membership Increased to
forty-eight. 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.
Mrs. Polack ulso wpro a plume,
bhtck on a mnnlla colored hat that
muHt huvo been qulto Parisian.
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. They had
quite n library of books which wero
all donuted to tho l.a Grande pub
lic library. They also bought and
placed a fountain on tho high
eli out grounds.
Nineteen hundred twelve was
Mrs. J. T. Kichurdson's year. Pro
grams wero literary, based on
works of standard authors. At this
tlmo the club met In tho commer
cial club room In the New Foley
building. A committee wan ap
pointed to collect statistics on the
minimum wage bill. Tho library
benefit, featuring Kathorinc Oliver
McCoy was given which netted
$llR.r0. Hospital authorities asked
cooperation In planting seeds, set
ting out. shrubs and otherwise beau
tifying the grounds. Tho volunteers
were to bo called for at their homes
and taken in cars! This now al
most necessary machine was vory
few in number at that time. Mrs.
Hlchardson had the first club
breakfast in June, 1!U3. And
should be very pro.ud of originating
tho lovely custom in l.a Grande.
Sim was given $ 111. GO to iny fur
this club breakfast for ninety
seven members. 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. The course of study
for programs wu.s based on the
study of Mexico and South America. !
( Mi I'lst mas sen 1 sain amounted to ;
$57.r.(). Three hundred wus allow- I
erl the committee for . furnishing
the library club rooms, a comjiilt-
tee from the club was nppolnteil
to work with church societies in
furnishing clothing nnd help for the
needy, another conimitleo wus ap
pointed to call a mass meting and
lake the initiative for forming a
parent-teacher association (Kcb.
19 M). A moving comjnjttco ar
ranged for moving club belongings
to "the new club room In tho li
brary building. A club breakfast
was held in the Hlversldo park.
Tho menu Included grapefruit,
baked ham, creamed potatoes, par
kcrhouserolls, preserved ftg.i,
doughnuts und coffee.

One hot dish, some form of
bread, relishes, dessert and some
thing to drink' Is usually enough
to serve. Itouillon consomme may
be the hot dish and it hearty salad
may replace the relishes, but the
menu should bo kept simple.
