The fifth annual breakfast marking
the close of the Twentieth Century
club year, was given last Friday even
ing, being accorded the privilege of
opening the new Parish House of AS
cension Episcopal church. Owing to
the fact that the building was not
quite completed and the hall was with
out equipment or adornment there
was some hesitation about permitting
it's use But the urgency of the club
ladies prevailed; and it is only just to
say that all interested, both club mem
bers and guests, were delighted with
it's acoustic properties, beauty and
convenience, and united in the verdict
that it filled a ong-felt-want in the
Twin Falls field for social activities.
Some weeks ago the club voted, that
as each year of it's existence had in
creased its work and power, it was
time to show the husbands and friends
of the members that it stood for some
thing more than an exchange of cook
ing recipes and crochet patterns. To
say the least, some of the men went
home with a new respect for VIM
minis Clubs" after listening to the ex-
quisite satire and beautifully rounded
sentences of the "Toasts." Indeed some
of them were toasted (and roasted) to
golden brown.
At the beautifully decorated tables
200 members and guests were seated,
who did full justice to the delicious
viands so daintily served by the charm
ing girls of the high school domestic
science class and the Junior club
members. The tables were decorated
by the artistic hands of Mrs. ]. H.
Cooksley, who was the exponent OF
art from Twin Falls at the Panama
Pacific exposition. Mrs. Cooksley
made 210 most perfect roses and lilies
frim butter for each cover at the
breakfast table, besides using ten
dozen Gala lilies as centerpieces-
these lilies a gift to the club from Mrs
Lillian Daube of Berkeley, Calf, and
six dozen Gala lilies sent by Mrs. Sam
Hart's sister of California. The stage
was a bower of beauty and from it
came the sweet strains of music furn-
ished by the Alfonte orchestra.
idaho, My Idaho," was sung by the
audience, standing. Mrs. j. G. Deake
pronounced the invocatory. Mrs. w.
e. Nixon, with her well known wit,
prefaced each speakers toast with so
many charming thrusts of satire and
sops of praise, that the intellectual
menu was a feast. Mrs. G. ]. Schroe-
der's them, "Chow-Chow," was a
spicy condiment to be digested with
the appetizing "Club Sandwich" pre-
pared by Mrs. A. L. Swim, and both
were heartily enjoyed. Mrs. J. H Sea
yer in her theme, "Our Real Eden,
gave a most beautiful peroration tc
our best priced possession, "Home.
Mrs. Samuel Hart in "Mere Man." al
ternately roasted and toasted the mas
culine gender in the most skillful an6
delightful manner There was only
one lone man to come to the rescue OF
his sex; Mayor Sweeley came gallant
ly to the fray and in a witty defense
brought his brother sufferers to the
front of the battlefield with flying
colors in his toast to "The Rib-Goc
Bless Her"
Mrs. Burton Morse, the retiring
president, whose toast was Third
Term Plank" gave a stirring account
of her predicament of last year in as
suming her undesired leadership oi
the club through 1915-1916. Her hui
morous fiction of appealing to Teddy
The Big Stick" was much enjoyed.
The incoming president, Mrs. G. A
Emes, gave thoughtful and graceful
toast to her new associates for thu
coming year on the new battle cry o
the present time, Preparedness"
Mrs. M. ]. Sweeley in her alwayl
graceful manner, greeted the outgoing
and incoming presidents and present
