The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-06-27

at which three hundred happy guest:
last evening enjoyed the delightful
hospitality of the Elks lodge, the Elks
scored a decided social success an(
maintained with high honors the very
finest traditions of the cordiality and
good cheer of this deservedly popular
and beloved organization. Perhaps
never in the history of Moscow has
any large affair been so thoroughly
pleasing to all and satisfactory who
participated in the good time as was
| perfectly arranged by the Elks for the
entertainment last night of their many
friends and admirers.
The Elks, who during the war, very
appropriately INDUCED in no large OF
formal gathering, decided that the re-
modelling and refurnishing of their
club rooms would provide happy oc-
casion for throwing open their rooms
to their friends, and the hundreds of
enthusiastic compliments and con-
gratulations passed upon the hand
some appearance of the temple made
the hosts of the evening feel we'll re-
paid for the efforts they had made
to provide for the comfort and pleas
ure of their guests.
In the receiving line that greeted
the guests were Leading knight Geo.
N. Lamphere and Mrs. Lamphere,
Loyal Knights James J. Keane and
his daughter, Miss Catherine Keane,
Past Exalted Ruler William E. Wal
lace and Mrs. Wallace, and Past Ex-
alted Ruler Francis jenkins and his
daughter, Mrs. E. M. Hume. These
were assisted by Mrs. Jerome ]. Day,
who was the chairman of the ladies
committee for the evening and to
whose wellknown tact and social
skill much of the success of the party
was due. The trustees, George Pickett
and L. F. Parsons, with Mrs. Parsons,
formed an additional reception COM
mittee.
In the ball room Holman's orchestra
furnished delightful music until 12
o'clock. Punch was served through
out the evening in the ladies' parlor
off the ball room.
1t is generally conceded that the |
temple has never been SO artistically |
or so beautifully decorated as last eve
1ing when in every possible place |
there were exquisite bouquets of |
roses, gladiolii, canterbury bells, snap |
1ragons, and other lovely local flow
srs The bouquets which were all |
provided by Mrs Day and Mrs. Veatch |
ind their friends were arranged and
disposed about the rooms with exquis
tie taste by Mrs. Day and Mrs. Veatch.
In commenting upon the wonderful
success of the part, Trustee George
Pickett spoke with great modesty of
What he had himself done to make the
lub rooms so beautiful a place for a
delightful party. "The only thing we
Ilks care about" said he, lis that our
riends should be pleased and that we
hould be able to make our members,
riends and their ladies happy and
omfortable when they come here.
'he pleasant part about last evenings
was that our members
ffinr dc and 70 hn oil nln |
nd to love the things that we had
ried to do for them"
There are probably no more beauti-
ul or complete Elks club rooms any
5here in the northwest than those in
Ioscow, and the skill, time, and ex-
ense required, during the past three
lonths, to produce the fine results
btained are perfectly apparent to any
ne who visits the club rooms.
All of the rooms in the large build
lg have been refurnished and re-
ecorated, and important changes ;
ave also been made in the arrange
lent and disposition of the room. The 3
brary, which is at the left of the /
ain hall, is tinted in two shades of |
,ft tan. The curtains are of pale |
cam scrim, and the overhangings of $
d rose English sunfast material. The |
lrpet is the fashionable plain taupe |
ilton now so generally favored in +
ace of figured rugs. A handsome n
ahogany center table is a new addi- Q
IN to the room. t
The ladies parlor is daintily fur q
shed in wicker. The curtains are
plain natural colored pongee silk, {
d the overdrapes are of an effective c
cured cretonne. a
