Yuma wonlan's Club Breakfast.

The Yuma Wcman's Club held It's
annual breakfast at High neon on Sat
urday, May Il, at the h9me Ct Mrs j.
S. Spear. The Gay wGs an ideal one
for such reunion. The long table was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
greenery, and ribbons III the club col
rs-heliOlrope and white. The TWEEN
ty-four ladies seated around 1t In their
fresh spring tcilets-their happy faces
quite in keeping with the spirit of the
hour. The light Of day was carefully
eXclr ed and numberless candles in
ante candlesticks shed soft light
over the scene.
After doing ample justice to the del
icatc menu so well prepared by the ca
terer and 50 deity served by expert
enced mattresses, the toasts and dessert
came on together and the fun began.

Mrs. Pugh proposed a toast to the
absent members, which was drank in
silence, with unshed tears just ready
to fall, when the thought came that
some of those most dear to the club
would never return.
1t is perhaps needless to add that the
toasts were drank in clear, cold water,
and the delicious ices and creams that
were interspersed helped to keep ev-
erything cool, even when the tGasts
were very spicy, as some of them were.
Several were in verse and rhyme and
are quite we'll worth preserving, espe-
cially by members of the club, to whom
they are doubly interesting. The re-
past was finally finished by a tiny cup
of coffee, when Mr.. Speer sent in word
that if the ladies would kindly remain
seated few minutes longer ne would
like to photograph the scene. He had
already taken the table with the &C
companying decorations before the la
dies were seated. After getting a very
good picture OF this scene he took the
whole group arranged in the garden.
The ladies then repaired to the par
Tor and spent a very pleasant period
installing the newly elected officers in
to their positions, discussing plans for
next years work, listening to music.
and in purely social converse.
The president, Mrs. Hackett, an
nounced her programme committee for
the coming year as follows: Mrs. w.
H. Elliott, Mrs. J. S. Spear Mrs. Fl. p.
Crandall and Mrs. P. r. Robertson; the
president herself being chairman Of
the committee. They plan to publish
year book early in the season, SO the
club will know just what to expect ev-
cry week during the club year.
Mrs. PGgh, chairman of the depart
ment Of civics, also announced her
choice for the other members of the |
Mrs. G.. D. Baker. Mrs. p. |
T. Robertson, Mrs. w. ID. Smith and |
Mrs. D. Devore. This leaves the club
very well organized for a new year,
which the members hope will be of
great profit to themselves and others.
When the sun was getting low the
members returned home in the cool of |
the day, feeling that another happy ex-
Derience had been added to life from |
which nothing could divorce them while !
memory should last.
We can live without books
What is knowledge but sorrow?
We may live without beauty
1t fades on the morrow.
We can live without law suits
Indictments are guashing;
Bat where is the man
Who can live without washing?
