To begin with, it was the occasion
of the usual periodical visit of Bish
op Funsten, who was accompanie,
by his wife this time. Mrs. Funstel
is woman of charming personalit,
and the ladies of the church who hat
not been afforded the pleasure of he
acquaintance, were indeed delighted
to know her personally. Rev. ant
Mrs. Chamberlaine received inform
| ally for them last Thursday night
About eighty friends of the Cham
berlaines called at the rectory dur.
ing the evening to meet the bishoI
and Mrs. Funsten, and show theiI
appreciation of the church work that
has been accomplished during the
period the Chamberlaines have occu-
pied the field.
The visitors were to have left the
] following morning, but were induced
to remain over to be present at the
IL O'Clock breakfast Mesdames Du-
bOis and Ryan had arranged for on
the Dubois lawn. 1t was given to
the Chancel society in honor of Miss
Emily Christ. who has been visiting
her brother Fred and Mrs. Christ for
several months, and during her stay
has proven such pleasant addition
to the society, they are indeed re-
luctant to consider parting with her
in a few weeks, when she will re-
turn to her home in the asst. The
breakfast consisted of four courses
of nicely prepared delicacies served
on half dozen well arranged tables
under the shade of the tall poplars
on the lawn. The picture was indeed
pretty one. The girls looked their
best, clad in sheer summery lawns
and dimities, that contained delicate
colorings of blues, pinks, lavenders,
green's and white, seated at the pref
ty tables with natures background
of rich green and the sunlight play
ing about through the foliage of the
trees to catch a glimpse of the hap
py party The program which was
given in full in these columns last
week. was looked forward to with
anticipation by the guests who had
learned of the capable work the
society could do because of witness
ing "The Princess" presented by
them to the people of Blackfoot last
winter. The Bishop and Mrs. Fun
sten, however, had no idea of the
pleasure that was in store for them
and were unstinted in their words
of commendation. They could not lik-
en- any other Chancel society in the
state to this one, for not even Boise
could claim one its equal. The en-
tire program was so well delivered
to mention one and not another |
would be an injustice. The musical |
numbers were all excellent selections,
beautifully performed. 1t is a credit |
not to be overlooked, that these |
young girls are 'appreciating the
works of such musical masters and |
authors of song as Beethoven, Cho-
pin, Karganoff, Mendelsohn, Met
calf and others. The movement /
numbers and readings were not sec
ond in excellence to the musical ones
and when special request for a re-
petition was sent in for the benefit
of belated guest, the response was
given very graciously. though ted
ious change of apparal was neces-
sary.
At the close of the program, Mrs.
Dubois made a happy suggestion. that
the society resolve themselves into
a Friday Morning Music club for the
summer, which met with such hearty
response from Rev. and Mrs. Cham
berlaine, a business session was call
ed at once that resulted in a unani-
nous vote in favor of the suggestion.
The Misses Keifer and Miss Leonore
Biethan were made members of the
society. They are school girls who
are taking higher courses at advan-
,ed schools and will spend the sum-
mer intermission with more pleasure
because of the profit that will ac-
,rue from these Friday morning stu
lies, which will be held in the Dubois
oarlor, under the direction of Mes
lanes Archbold, Ryan and Dubois,
who deserve much credit for the
,ainstaking work that has been fol-
owed by the gratifying result men
Toned in this article.
The Chancel society has member
hip of thirty young gifls who meet
o study, sew and work for mutual
,eneft. Mrs. Chamberlain is pres ]
dent and it is under the direct care {
