III A W - "- ' i Event Is in Celebration of the Thirty-eighth Anniversary. An-niversary. t THE thirty-eighth anniversary breakfast break-fast of the Ladies' Literary club at the Hotel Utah yesterday afternoon after-noon was an artistic, culinary and ! literary success. The officers and j board of directors of the club received on j the mezzanine from 11:80 until 12 o'clock ( find breakfast was served shortly after ioon in the main dining room of the hotel. Round tables were laid, each seating six. Ixw bowls of violets, with a pink rose in the center, were on each table and p th menu emphasized the purple and pink shades. A musical programme of a high i order was given by Wohlmuth's orchestra during the serving of the various courses. , The breakfast was followed by a pro gramme of bright toasts given by the club officers and by Mrs. W. F. Adams, I representing the board of directors. The I toasts were interspersed by a series of musical selections given by a quartette composed of Mrs. C. C. Dally, Mrs. J. W. Curtis. Mrs. H. C. Schraven and Mrs. - C. C. Snyder, accompanied by Mrs. A. P. fcHone, which were enthusiastically re-'; re-'; cetved, and by readings by Mrs. Beulah Storrs LewlB, ono of Salt Lake's most 7 talented dramatic readers. :- Tribute to the Club. .; The toastmistress, Mrs. A. H. Parsons, ! president of the club, was introduced by Mrs. A, T. McCanne, chairman of the entertainment en-tertainment committee, in a happy little epeech. Mrs. Parsons's introductory remarks re-marks follow: Ladles Those of us who are house-keepers house-keepers know how difficult it is to prepare the breakfast toast to suit the taste of all the members of the family even a small family. For someone it la apt to be too dry or J too soft; too highly seasoned or not seasoned enough. If the toasts prepared for this large family today do not scintillate with j.: Tvit and humor, it is only because the toastmakers hesitate to eay anything I; that could possibly be taken amiss. " If the speakers give you no thought to Hi take home with you, it is because they would avoid anything like a prcach- L- ment- If they leave out the Bpice of ; a few knocks here and there not :- malicious knocks, you know; Jupt A stimulating taps, so to speak it Is (k Ui the Interest of harmony. But If, I , at times, they fling to the winds all i0. caution, may what is then said fall V only on ears attuned to the holiday eplrit of the occasion. I I And now, having taken the Irish-M Irish-M man's privilege of saying a few words i.T before I begin to speak, let mc tell. Id; verv briefly, something of what her thirty-eight years of life have done for tho Lady L. L. C in whose honor we are hero today. Precocious Youngster. a1 She wos a very precocious baby, n I have been told, talking at an ex tremely early age a habit which has grown on her amazingly. During her S I girlhood years she aM not seek the society of others and was reputed to be very exclusive. "Literary is mv middle name," phe seemed to say, "nml Ladies my first, i-o I feel it in-cmiibfint in-cmiibfint upon me to live up to them," and she quite prided herself on so " doing. , She reached bpr majority shortly after thy franchise was given to the 5 women of her native state, but she s ' was not at tlrst enthusiastic about W women voting, being something of a ? blue-stocking and an nntisuffragette, ) t and. withal, being perfectly content 3 i 1o exercise her prtvlleee of quietly In- 1 fluenclng the voters of her circle from 1 her womanly pedestal a privilege handed down to all her daughters by i Mother Eve. j From early childhood she had a burning desire for knowledge and I gave herself whole-heartedly to study I in the pursuit of culture; and as a liv- ing example of industry and earnest ! seeking after truth she was an in- 1 spiration to all who knew ner. j She grew in stature and In wisdom, 1 ! in beauty and In power, and with the j passing years she learned that culture does not come out or" any particular study culture is a by-product of good i living; it comes from sympatny with the life about us. This truth learned, her blessings have been shared with others, her influence given to ail matters mat-ters of community welfare. To Know Is to Love. To know her is to love her, and to be allowed to serve her is a privilege and a joy indeed, even though she is sometimes exacting and is not al- 1 ways easily pleased. She not only asks her chief executive to dance attendance attend-ance upon her during the daytime, but she awakens her at all hours of the right to remind her of things to be done tomorrow and of things left undone yesterday. And yet, no life made up of days of ease and nights of undisturbed slumber could tempt her president to forego the pleasure of being her loyal servant. I read in a morning paper not long since the account of a banquet which took place in this very room, where It was stated that a prominent Ro-tarian, Ro-tarian, who has served every organ- I ization of importance in the city except ex-cept the Ladies' Literary club, now has designs on the presidency of that. 1 Wisdom should teach him to curb his vaulting ambition. ' Most men i find it all they can do to manage J one woman, and that, too, after she t , has solemnly promised to obey. No ' mere man could ever measure up to the task of leading In the management of nearly 500 women. Travesty Is Enjoyed. " Mrs. George Francis Stlehl, the first vice president, gave a travesty on the j unimportance of the office she held. She : said that the vice president, elected in the spring without any thought on the : part of the club members, found it necessary neces-sary to spend all summer, eschewing vacation va-cation Joys, to learn to look dignified on the occasion of iier sole appearance before be-fore the club, when she was called to the platform in the fall with the other new officers to be Inaugurated, only to bo rewarded by seeing one club member nudge another and inquire in a loud whisper who sbo was and why she was 1 on the platform. As a matter of consolation, however, she reflected on how many citizens of the United States could tell, off hand, who the vice president of their great republic re-public is. Mrs. Cowan Is Witty. Mrs. John F. Cowan, the second vice president, noted for her wit, sustained her reputation. Following are extracts from Mrs. Cowan's speech, which drifted from her ever-ready wit, to a retrospective retrospec-tive vein: j When I look over this gathering of well-dressed, well -behaved women. I I am led to wonder why this club I needs two vice presidents when the j whole United States gets along very ! comfortably with one, but then there ! are Anthony Coins tock, Francis Heney and' Jerome, besides various I vice commissions, to help out. Kveu with two vice presidents, our club i has not quite reached perfection. ; Some of us still discuss private a f- : ! fairs during musical numbers and 1 j then applaud loudly in appreciation ! of tlie opportunity. The woman with ! the largest, hat and most feathers still sits well up In front and keeps It on. The same old list of delinquents delin-quents appears each halt" year. Proud of the Club. But sincerely we feel tha t we Justly may be proud of our club upon this thirty-eighth a nni versa ry of its hinh. We are glad to have tlie opportunity op-portunity of expressing our appreciation apprecia-tion of and love- for the club. ! We older members are inclined to look in retrospect upon the years that have passed. We sum up, as it were, what tlie club lias brought to ns. We rualiiv that through tile club we have snen beyond our own restricted circle. By in-aiis of club associations some of our warmest and closest friendships friend-ships have been forired. There is always a tinge of sadness sad-ness In ( kese bin hday a nni versa riv.s. There are thoughts of the ones who have gone before and there is a feeling feel-ing that we, too, are whirling along toward the eternal. "Time is too .lov for those who wait, too swift for those who fear. I too long for those who grieve, too hort for thosn who rejoice; hut f-jr these who love, time is eternity." Tells of a Vision. ! Mrs. K. P. Stubbing club treasurer. : told of a vision in wnich she thought she wrnt to licaven and saw onf "in ! shining garments occupying a seat high above ail others, surrou tuied by a group i of felines, sbming with a .ort of re-! re-! fleeted clory. Asking as to t ;ie identrtv of th" tavored saint, sh was told thar i ihr shining o?n- nad been treasurer of I the Ladies Lucrary cluu :or a number of vcars. Involuntarily, the present treasurer treas-urer cried: "Place her higher." Those sharing her glorv were club members who had paid their 'dues promptly. The delinquent de-linquent ones were cast Into outer darkness. dark-ness. Drifting into a serious vein at the cloe, Mrs. Stubbing said: As I lay In bed pondering over my dream, tlie thought came to me that it contained a message to my club friends. Now, while Mint and op-pnrtunitv op-pnrtunitv are still yours, make sure t hat when you reach the land of "heart's desire" you will he on the ritrht Fide or' the rose hedge. Mrs. Y..
