termed a colorful burst of glory, the
years work of the Woman s Ten
Thousand Club ended yesterday with
the annual May luncheon, and the
finding of the pot of geld at the
rainbow S end, as carried ont by a
beautiful series of "rainbow
toasts. -
Never has the spirit of comrade-
ship and loyal cooperation, such as
has the past season IS work, resulted
in a finer feeling of friendship, or a
more beautiful promise for the wear
to come than was evident in the at
mosphere at the club house yester-
day, when Il large part of the mem
bershipref the organization met to
review the achievements of the past
eights months.
Flowers everywhere in the club
house auditorium and on the dain-
~ luncheon tables made a lovely
setting for the rainbow color scheme
carried gut at the speaker s table,
where Mrs. j. Drummond Huston
gracefully presided as toastmistTess.
Streamcfs of delicate tulle of the
seven eelors of the rainbow led to
the lSsees of the women each of
whom Responded to a toast with her
color sEnding with the "pot of
gold ~ IN front of the toastmistress
place, the rainbow decoration motif
was carried out by Mrs. Huston in a
manner as original as that in which
She assigned her toasts. Rainbow
place cards marked the covers at
the speakers table, and at the past
presidents and incoming board S
table.
Following Mrs. Huston S intro
duction, Mrs. c. w. Allison delight
fully sang group of rainbow songs,
and Mrs. H. V Gray charminglv pre-
scnted several appropriate poems.
- Red,' the courage color, was the
toast which Mrs. Leroy Holt then
responded. Mrs. Ross T.. Hickcox
came next with Orange > the
cheer color. "Yellow, symbolic
of the pure gold of quality was pre-
scented by Mrs. James W. Glassford.
Mrs. Will S. Fawcett responded to
the call of the fourth color,

Mrs. Robert B. -Kepiey as '.lndir
go, - brought out the quality of per-
severance while Mrs. F. d. Jacobs,
who will again lead the club activ-
tiles for the coming year, spoke ON
"'Violet,' the color of hopes.
Binding together these toasts
which were all well given, and EN-
phaizing the counterpart of the col
ors,of nature in human characterist-
les and in club work. and the beauty
of the whole, Mrs. Huston as toast
mistress added much to the program
Choosing her words so as to perfect
lv express each shade Of meaning,
Mrs. Huston-s introduction and SUM
ming up of the rainbow s lesson was
one long to be remembered by all
who heard her.
