Enjoyable Time At
Outstanding Porty

Since its very beginning in 1891
the Libby Junior Woman's Club has
had variety of programs and ac-
tivities as is seldom found in such
organizations. What they are going
to do next is always of great inter-
est. Tuesday night they held din
ner and meeting IN the parlors of
the Presbyterian church which
stands out as one of the incest and
most entertaining affairs they have
had.
On arrival the As members at
tending the dinner found the tables
most attractively set with large
hearts set in ruffled white lace pa
per for main decorations, and clev-
erly made Valentine nut cups and
regular Valentines for place cards.
Red candles burning on each table
completed the lovely setting.
During the excellent dinner,
which was served by the ladies of
Circle A, Miss Margaret Hellweg
started a paper around the tables
and each person wrote a line OF
poetry ending with the word shown
on her line. They all used four
foot iambic meter so the result was
clever and in some places startling
because no one knew what the rest
had written.
Between courses Miss Jean Rich
ardson played popular tunes On the
piano and during the program after
dinner Mrs. George Baker and Miss
Ruth Loucks each sang lovely solos
pertaining to the romantic subject
of the evening. Mrs. Gleason Pitch
er was accompanist for both of the
soloists.
Love was the subject that Toast
mistress Inez Ratekin announced
would be the ideal theme of the
evenings toasts. As called upon, the
following responded. Miss Mary
Stevens, Romantic Love; Mrs John
Bags, Brides Love; Mrs. William
Erickson, Mother Love; and Miss
Margaret Hellweg, Old Maids Love.
They were very clever and brought
forth many chuckles besides Turing
a feeling of sentiment at times.
Following this section Of the ev-
ening's entertainment Miss Jean
Richardson conducted a Truth and
Consequence forum that added and,
in fact, crowned the merriment of
the evening. The truths were well
chosen and the consequences were
hilariously funny. A sucker" prize
was given to each ope who had to
take a consequence and nicer
Valentine heart was presented to
the lucky ones who happened to
know the answers. A grand prize
had been provided to give to the
one providing the most entertain
ment and the crowd unanimously
gave it to Miss Richardson Clifton
Fadiman had nothing on her She
then responded to the honor by
doing couple of initiative songs to
her own piano accompaniment. The
last one reminded Mrs. Joughin of
one of her pet jokes which she told
to everybody's delight That finished
the program up brown
President Mrs. Dexter Shaurette
conducted a very brief business
meeting.
One thing that stood out as help
ing the party to be such a success
was the friendliness of everyone to
everyone else. The atmosphere was
very cordial and the spirit of the
group was unbeatable for good fun.
A rousing handicap was given
Chairman Mrs. Palmer Fjeseth and
her committees for the splendid
preparations Beside Mrs Fjeseth,
Miss Jean Richardson and Miss Mar
garet Hellweg took charge Of en-
tertainment; Mrs. John Bags and
Mrs. Martin Botchek sold tickets,
and Mrs. Clarence Brown, Mrs
Clifford Brown and Mrs. Hamilton
Hough decorated the tables.
