As millions of American servicemen over the
world observe another Mother’s Day away from home, Corpus Christi mothers
may be found entertaining other mothers’ sons providing a little of
laughter and fun for the youths who may soon be seeing battle action in the
Pacific. Shoreline USO Club has been the rendezvous for parties this
season, as organizations of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs serve as
hostesses on alternate Thursday nights. The pioneer Woman’s Monday Club,
the “mother club of Corpus Christi,” entertained with a Texas-styled chuck
wagon party recently. Cowhand frijoles and corn shuck tamales were on the
fare for this gay ranch entertainment.

Rounding out almost half a
century of organization, Woman’s Monday Clubmother of clubs in South
Texascelebrated its 48th anniversary yesterday afternoon with a
traditional Valentine party. The meeting was held at the old G. R. Scott
home, Broadway and Kenney Streets, with Mrs. Scott, founder, as hostess.
Mrs. R. G.
Terrell led an entertainment feature on “Frills and Fancies.” She conducted
a “Who Is?” quiz, using the names of club members in apt suggestions,
followed by an original tribute to Mrs. Scott, known to clubwomen over the
state as “The Admiral.”
Mrs. Scott
responded with a Valentine message sent her by a Fifth District club member,
Mrs. A. J. House of Yoakum. She also read a toast, “What Are the Wild Waves
Saving on Corpus Christi Bay?” first given 40 years ago.
A social hour
followed with Mrs. B. W. Klipstein, Mrs. J. B. Hubbard, club president, and
Mrs. E. W. Cumings presiding at the refreshment table. A Valentine cake was
decorated with red and white frosting, with the words “1897 to 1945.”
Cupids and red and white carnations centered the lace-covered table.
Assisting in
serving were Mrs. O. T. Blasingame, Mrs. O. C. Hamlin, and Miss Katherine
Redmond.
Guests of the
club were Mrs. Maurice Parson, Mrs. George West Diehl, Mrs. Eldon Hornish,
Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy and Mrs. Dick Schendel. |
