WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES GRACE THOMPSON Western Motif for St. Agnes Guild Annual Spring Benefit; Prizes Contributed by Local Merchants Wall murals depicting highways leading through the desert to the high mountains in the background executed in all the gorgeous purples and sand shades of the desert greeted more than 200 guests of St. Agnes Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church last Saturday afternoon when they attended a dude ranch style show and dessert bridge held at the Anaheim Ebell club house. The western motif was carried throughout the entire program. The tables were covered with brown wrapping paper with hand blocked desert scenes and the brand "STA" in squares, "STA" standing for St. Agnes. The bridge tallies were various desert scenes in bright colors. The napkins were very cleverly decorated with hand blocked prints made by Mrs. Foster Warwick, who also painted the murals. Everyone who attended now wants to take a vacation on a leisurely ranch where the sky meets the earth; where cacti reigns supreme; and do nothing but enjoy the desert atmosphere.

Two large Oregon cacti, sitting in real sand, were on either side of the curtain. Across the back of the stage were casually arranged geraniums. A typical ranch scene with a hand hewn wooden fence, a horse blanket thrown over the piano, a studded saddle astride a fence post, and cowboy ropes were to the side and back center stage. The table prizes, an original idea created by Mrs. Floyd Hubbard, were cowgirl and cowboy pins carved from balsa wood.
