The club house of the Woman I
Ten Thousand Club was the scene
yesterday of the last brillian event
of the social season when the annual
club luncheon took place. Most at
tractive was the club house with its
decorations of blossoms and foliage
with small tables and one long table
for the officers, board members,
past presidents and district presi-
dent, Mrs. Kenneth Oliver of Braw-
! ley.
Under the capable direction of
three members of the social commit
tee, Mesdames A. {. Johnston, +. B.
Whitelaw, and Rodney Hermon, res
ervations for over one hundred had
| been placed, and TO this committee
is due much of the credit for the
success of the affair.
A most attractive and appetizing
luncheon was prepared by the men,
bers of Mrs. Duane Stafford S sec
tion of the new ways and means
committee. Members of this group
include Mesdames B. E. Lemons, f.
j. Mack, T. l.. Laereman, and +.
G. Dobel. Others assisting were
Mesdames w. A. Tondro, Will
North, f. S. Lake, j. R. Mumm, a.
J. Garrison and Ralph Reynolds.
The utmost efficiency characterized
the arrangements and service of
this committee
Immediately following the lunch
con, Mrs. Glassford introduced
1.-The Fishing Party" which was
composed of five of Mrs. Wooda
Blesy's small pupils garbed for a
happy day by the ''old fishin
hole'. Clever recitations and songs
accompanied by suitable gestures
quite captivated the audience. The
little Misses Dorothy Lou House,
Marguerite Loud, Mary Katherine
Horton, Elizabeth Meyer, and Jane
Scott made up the group.
Mrs. Glassford Presides
After a brief intermission, the
business session of the afternon
was called to order by Mrs. James
w. Glassford. Never did Mrs.
Glassford preside with more grace
and charm than on this occasion, her
last meeting. Little Miss Geral-
dine Johnson open the session with
piano solo, delighting her audience
with her execution and poise.
Following this, miscellaneous bus
mess was transacted, and Mrs. F.
d. Jacobs was called upon for re-
port of the 22nd annual convention
of the California Federation of
WoMen's Clubs. Mrs. Jacobs gave
sn excellent. report of the meeting
At Eureka at which over 400 prom
inent women of the state were
present, Imperial Valley being rep
resented by three delegates, Mes
DANES Kenneth Oliver and John
Curtis of Brawley, and Mrs. F. D.
Jacobs, at that time president elect
of the Ten Thousand Club of Ell
Centre. Mrs. Jacobs remarkable
ability for choosing between the
more important and less important
phases of club life was plainly dem
onstrated in this address, which car
ried her listeners with her to the
convention meetings in the country
of the giant redwoods.
