100 Years Ago 1920

The annual luncheon of the Woman’s Literary Union of Lewlston and Auburn, held Thursday at Auburn Hall will go down in the annals of that organization as one of the most enjoyable in its history. At one o’clock nearly three hundred prominent women  took their places at long tables attractively spread with a generous fare prepared by Chef Voyer. Potted hyacinths gave just the right touch to the table appointments. About the hall were plenty of ferns, palms and potted plaints, adding greatly to the general effect. At the head table was Mrs. A.M. Penley , president of the organization and guest of honor, Mrs. Nora Archibald Smith.
