A HEARTY MEAL.
Annual Y. W. G. A.
Spread Is More
of a Banquet.
ABOUT 600 FED.
Large Amount Melted fol
Association Purposes
by the Affair.

Although the Y. w. &. A. has had
several May breakfasts, all of which
were successful, it never conducted 50
successful a one as that of yesterday,
when about 800 persons came and were
fed and went away satisfied that the
young women knew how to get up a
good spread, and know how to serve it,
too.
i In anticipation of big crowd, the
long dining tables had been set where
ever there was convenient space for
them. Not only were the auditorium
and platform of Memorial hall filled,
but tables were set in the Office and
the parlor. Covers were laid for 400
Potted marguerites, hydrangeas, and
other decorative plants, with palms and
ferns, their earthern pots concealed by
delicate pink tissue paper stood at in
tervals down the centre of the tables
and were placed in the inches of the
high wainscotting. The tables were
still farther decorated by dishes of rad
iShes cut in imitation of rosebuds. The
memorial portrait of the late Mrs E.
A. Goodnow was draped with a large
spray of ferns and pink carnations,
tied with pale green ribbon, hanging
in long ends. All in all, before the in
vading hordes of hungry ones swept
over the hall, the ensemble of snowy
tables set out with their glistening sill
yer, glass and china, with here and
there bright bits of color, was remarka-
bly, pretty,
/ AS the guests came in they were re-
ceived by Mrs, Charles H. Morgan, the
president of the association, and Mrs.
George H. Taft, the first vice-president.
Mrs. Edward Swasey, Mrs. Paul Nor
gan and Miss Lena Sheldon acted as
ushers. Mrs. Edward NJ. Bliss and
Mrs. Taft took the tickets
The breakfast began at 11,30 o'clock
and lasted nominally till 2, but really
for half an hour longer, for when the
visitors had done feasting, there was
still the big body of walters and other
assistants to be fed.
What did they have to eat? Well
you started in, if you saw fit, with hot
roast turkey corn potatoes radishee,
and pickles. Then you came TO cold
ham and cold roast pork and lettuce
and jelly, Chicken salad came next,
and after that you took your choice Of
lemon, apple, mince, SQUASH and Wash
ington pie. Vanilla and strawberry ice
cream, with assorted cakes, led VI,
ges, and to the tea and coffee which
some people took as after-dinner bev-
erages but most preferred as an ae-
compartment to their meal. Everything
was of the best and everybody had
enough. Three hundred pounds of choice
Vermont turkeys were consumed. The
walters were well nigh exhausted with
their labors, and the women who cut
up pies and made chicken salad. de-
IoIa fhaf
wanted to see a pie or a chicken again
as long as they lived. Out in the cofri-
doris corps of dishwashers and wipers
earned their wages by the sweat u
their brows, while the man who dug
out the ice cream, struggled to keep up
with his orders. All Of which goes TO
pSNe how successful this May break
fast was.
