AN EXCHANGE
OF COURTES|ES
BETWEEN PROMINENT CLUB
WOMEN OF WEISER AND
PAYETTE.

On the 18th of March by invitation
of the Outlook Club of We.ser a
Committee of the Portia Club took
W9ST by storm. They were met at
the depot by prominent Weiser Ia
dies and escorted to the Hotel Wash,
ington where everything had been
arranged for their comfort. Soon
after, they were taken over the city
in automobiles, through and about the
principal business and residence por-
tion, showing the beautiful homes
with their nice kept lawns and clean
paved streets, winding up at the
Weiser Institute where they were
given a glimpse of this splendid seat
of learning and finally were shown
through the greenhouse where Mr..
HeinZe loaded them with beautiful
carnations and Gala lilies. Then
back to the Hotel Washington where
more Weiser ladies were waiting to
join them in sumptuous and deli
cate appointed luncheon The Club
colors of white and gold were car
ried out in the flowers and desert
decorations giving lasting and
pleasing effect to an extremely happy
two hours of this time. Next they
repaired to the Club rooms which
are on the third floor of the Hotel
where they were met by large and
r attentive audience.
After going through the order of
business Mrs. Wood, president, in a
few very prettily chosen words in
troduced Mrs. D. C.. Chase, Chair
man of the Portia Club Committee.
Mrs. Chase loves club work and club
people and seemed to take pleasure
in introducing the different members
of the committee.
The first number on the program
was baritone solo by Master Leroy
Maule accompanied on the piano by
Miss Lattig. In listening to this
little chap of few years one can
not but wonder how a boy so small
with a horn so large can render such
sweet music.
The next was Housekeeping in
the Philippines, by Mrs. ]. c. Lewis,
Sec'y of the Portia Club. Her talk
was intensely interesting as are all
the lectures and talks that the peo-
pie have had the pleasure of listening
to by this talented lady. Following
was a Bird talk by Mrs. F. Stamey.
Here was something very unusual
and indeed very nice, because Mrs.
Stamey knows the habits, history
and different calls of the birds in
Idaho. With her sweet low whistle
she can bring out the different calls
and almost tell you what they mean.
Then came a talk on some of the
Famous Original paintings in their
present surroundings by Mrs. G. F.
Muller. Not only interesting was
this talk but instructive as well.
She compared the paintings of each
Artist to kindred style in Poets
writing and the work of musician
of the same period This closed the
program and after few moments OF
visiting they were escorted to the
train, in the meantime being. assur-
ed of return call by the Outlook
Club on March 9th.
This date rolled around quickly
with happy expectations. The Ia
dies of the Portia Club were wait
ing at the noon train in automobiles
and delighted to see eight of the
Weiser Club ladies alight from the
eastbound train and still further
pleased that four more were enroute
via automobile. The number We're:
Mrs. Wood, Mrs Haas Mrs. E. H.
Galley. Mrs. Jenness. Hrs., Bond, Mrs.
Graham, Mrs. Larson, Mrs. s. D.
Ryan. Mrs. Ed. R. Goultei, Mrs. Co
nant, Mrs. Felkner and Miss Ashly,
Miss Blake having arrived the eve
ming before. The day was rather
stormy but not SO bad but what
they were shown pretty well over
the city and then all congregated at
the home of Mrs. Muller where
dainty luncheon was served. At the
regular appointed time all were tax
en- to the Commercial Club rooms,
the home Of the Portia Club in the
City Hall, where Mrs. Maule, the
Portia Club president, quickly dis
pensed with the necessary order Of
business and then introduced Mrs.
Wood, President of the Outlook Club,
ana also chairman of the committee
