They were, as A. P. BIgelow aptly put it, the- representative young members of the Weber club and, otherwise, the men who made Ogdeu's 1916 Harvest Festival and. Fashion Show a far-reaching far-reaching success. The occasion was tho long anticipated antici-pated jollification mooting of the Fashion Show committees and after a tasty four-course banquet, set on tables decorated with bouquets of red roses and ferns, had been disposed of between toasts, an hour or moro was passed in speech-making.

President Scowcroft, he said, had gotten together a great body of workers and guided Its efforts with splendid results. "There have been no complaints heard of the 1916 show," ho continued, "and it is a fine thing for Ogden that it should go that way. It Is an augury of bigger things for this community that will also bo equally successful." Speaking further, President Wattls said that plans for the 1919 transportation exposition ex-position wero starting out strong and that a committee had been appointed to take charge of the preliminary work. "We must have the same interest inter-est In this show that we have had in our Fashion Shows, and It will be equally successful," ho said, "and we must also keep our annual Fashion Show going."
