Bloomer Party at the Portia Club
Idaho Daily Statesman, February 27, 1902

"BLOOMER" PARTY
Ladies of the Portia Club at Payette Work A Surprise

Payette, Feb. 26 -- The ladies of the Portia Club entertained their husbands and a few invited friends last night in the Odd Fellows hall and as advertised a week ago, all the members of the club wore "bloomers," and as many of the invited guests as wished.

The men were all overburdened with curiosity until the ladies appeared wearing beautiful blooming roses -- bought at Boise for the occasion.

Each member at lunch was required to respond to a toast and each one did well. In reply to "bloomers" one lady held up her bloomer and said: "Oh thou lovely flower no one ever knew that thou would be the cause of so many cruel and unkind thoughts, and so much joy, all in one short evening. Oh thou sweet flower." Others as good and as original were given.

An Episcopal tea was given by Mrs. Charles McCosh assisted by her sister, Miss Grace Ross yesterday and regardless of the rough weather quite a few attended.
