RICHLAND REBEKAHS ARE
HOSTESSES AT A BANQUET
Function Given Complimentary to
District President and to
Anthony Family

The banquet given by the Richland
Freedom Rebekah lodge Monday eve
ming in honor of their district presi-
dent, Mrs. Alta Mason and also a
farewell to the Anthony family,
proved one of the most enjoyable af-
fairs OF the social season. So large
was tie number Of guests and mem
bers that the tables extended the en-
tire length of the room and were one
mass of good things to at. Prof. w.
Holt, of the high school, officiated as
POSTMASTER in his usual breezy man.
and his remarks caused much mer-
rlment among the guests. Judge F.
A. Howes responded to the toast "The
Visitors" with humorous story which
was greatly appreciated, the Judge
being an adept at the art of after
dinner speech making. Harry Wheel
house responded to the toast "The Odd
Fellows" in an earnest manner, DWELL
ing at some length on the good works
which have been accomplished by the
order. H. L. Anthony, on behalf of
himself and family thanked the lodge
for the kind thought which prompted
the farewell reception and stated that
he would always feel that the Rich
land lodge was his real home. Mrs.
Herschel Jameson and Jack Roberts
were called upon to respond to toasts
but both of them retired in swift re-
treat to the kitchen, stating that they
preferred to serve the lunch and wash
dishes to doing any performing as
speechmakers.
|. Mrs. Mason, the president of the
Rebekah assembly, concluded the talks
for the evening, her talk being along
the work accomplished by the lodge
in rural communities and her measure
of encouragement was greatly appre-
ciated by her sister workers in Rich
land.
It was certainly an affair of which
the lodge may well be proud and again
demonstrated to everyone present the
fact that the women of Richland are
the very best cooks in the country.
