Monday Club Celebrates Anniversary
Members of the Woman’s Monday Club
celebrated their 53rd anniversary with a seated tea yesterday at
Watsonia, home of Mrs. H. H. Watson, Ocean Drive. Greeting the members and
guests with the hostess were Mrs. Maude French Smith, president, and Mrs.
Charles Pugsley, program chairman.
Members and the 26 guests who
attended spent the afternoon in conversation groups about the home. Two new
members, Mrs. Fulton Hoopes and Mrs. Robert McCampbell, were welcomed.
The table was arranged with a hand
painted cover and a red and white theme in the flowers and candies. A huge
heart of red carnations was the centerpiece. Mrs. Edgar Mathis, Mrs. Roy
Olsen, and Mrs. Lylian Trickett served. Individual Valentines were place
favors.
Among the guests were Mrs. M. M.
Sadler, president of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs; Mrs. Will Wright
of Alice, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Gordon Lewis, and Mrs. Bessie
Bellinger, a former Monday Club member.
At the party the club received as a
Valentine a bouquet of bright pink gladiolus and poppies, sent by Mrs.
Conrad Blucher in memory of her mother, the late Mrs. F. A. Hill, a member
of the club.

The Woman’s Monday club is sponsoring a loan
library of old books and prints on April 21, 22 and 23 in an “Old Book
Stall” to be erected at the Plaza hotel lobby.
All of the books have been labelled
with their names, the date on which they were printed, and the name of the
owner. There will also be old photographs, old pictures, and other old
articles pertaining to printing or engraving.
One particularly interesting framed
exhibit will be a picture of “Joan of Arc” woven in cloth to resemble steel
engraving. Another interesting display which is in a small frame is the
original signature of Charles Dickens.
There are books printed as far back
as 1492. One cop was printed by hand by the monks in an old monastery in
Europe.
One volume that is particularly
interesting is an old copy of “Mother Goose” rhymes printed in 1871. There
is a book named, “Standard Poets,” printed in 1700, a “Life of Milton”
printed in 1710, an old Bailey’s dictionary bought in 1783 and believed to
have been printed two or three years previous to that date. Another
immensely interesting copy is entitled “Masterpieces of Italian Art” printed
in 1887 and showing many beautiful reproductions of Italian paintings and
drawings.
There will be a special shelf for
old school books which will include old algebras, arithmetic books,
grammars, history books, readers, spellers, and geographies, some printed as
early as 1870. There will also be several old Bibles. |
