The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1893-05-24
AUXILIARY ON LAND.

The ladies of the G. |. A. to the B. Of
l.. E., Division No. 48, were met at the
San Francisco boat by a committee of
the Mrs. Leland Stanford Parlor and
escorted to the Windsor Hotel, which
was general headquarters for delegates.
The evening was spent in visiting and
social chat. On Thursday at / P NJ the on
v~ention was called to order in Forester's
Hall and the session lasted until 6
o'clock. The hall was a garden of
flowers; the desks Of the officers being
solid banks Of beautiful blossoms. The
other appointments were in keeping and
the floor was canvased. Thursday eve-
ming ut the same hall an elegant ban
quet was given, and with the tables
filled to overlooking with the rarest of
eatables and viands, with groups OF
handsome women in full evening toilets
and with a rich background OF flowers
it was q picture that none will forget.
Where there was so much beauty it was
fitting that e%loquence and wit should
have a place. Fred Meyers, the W, H.
know engineer. charmed his audience
with ga lilies OF humor graced with re-
marks full OF wisdom, and the ladies
imbibed many ideas from his talk.
The various Presidents Of the different
lodges each made a little speech, and
President Geery Of the home Auxiliary
came in her turn. We feel certain that
if the "half was told" of the good work
that the Auxiliary has accomplished at
home the Wadsworth ladies would be
we'll to the head OF the column.
On Friday evening the convention
was entertained as a body at a banquet
given by the Oakland ladies. 1t was q
very enjoyable event and the night boat
ride was a pleasing feature Of the &C.
casion. Arrangements were made for a
speedy trip to Monterey, but many OF
the ladies were too tired to make it.
The date upon which the next conven-
ton will be held was not decided but it
will probably be during June '94 at Los
Angeles. Flying trips to Sutro flights,
the Cliff House, carriage rides through
beautiful Golden Gate Park, and other
similar excursions made t~wenty-four
hours too short a day. The ladies all
say they had a splendid time and en-
joyed themselves to their hearts con-
tent, and we trust they did as they GER
teinly are all model wives and entitled
to the best the world can give.
BEST LOOKING DELEGATION HERE,
They had a glorious time.
They were all glad to get home.
Mrs. j. Raitt started for Market street
and ended at the Preside.
Mrs. j. w. Forrest lost her purse
and found 1t in her pocket.
They were all loaded down with bo-
quets when they reached Wadsworth.
Mrs. Ed. Shepley is going rsnching as
she brought back a rake, Q shovel and q
hoe.
Mrs. j. H. Whited couldn't stand the
pace Ms she came home sick and it took
three days of rest to catch up.
They were inortally afraid of a folding
bed there was at the Windsor and de-
cided the bed would have o hard time
smothering Mrs. Whited and Mrs.
Geery all at nee.
A very f~ashionably dressed young
man asked Mrs. Harmer Huston for q
dance and as she stood on the floor wait
ing for the figures to be called-and
they were not, as that ia city style-he
asked aren't you from the country"
The walters at the hotel took
the Wadsworth delegation for a
band of Sunday School teachers;
the policemen thought they were Boston
school msa'i ms !, the engineers thought
they were Master Observation-Disclosures ;
the restaurant men thought they were
Hungryones bound for Chicago; while
the DISPATCH correspondent took them
for a lot Of merry, happy women.
