Miss Evelyn Dudley Of the Whittier
Club delivered the address of welcome
which was both original and witty In
part she said:
When our grandmOtherS expected
company, they cleaned house and baked
pies and hung cardboard welcome
worked in worsted opposite the parlor
door. And in spite of the fact that we
are in most respects very much wiser
than our grandmothers, our modern
hospitality still seeks expression along
those time-hOnored lines.
For this occasion we have wrested
outwardly with broOms and brushes and
inWardly with strivings that can not be
uttered. For this occasion we have test
ed all the recipes in the Kansas home
cook book, and forced the male members
Of the household to consume the fail
ures And now that the rooms are
swept and garnished and the pies all
ready to make their appearance at the
proper season, it remains only for me
to impersonate the cardboard motto.
