Caption: Text from newspaper caption: PLANNING FOR FORTY-SIXTH BIRTHDAY FETE Forty-six years ago, when Friday Morning Club was founded, the above surrey was the last word in flashy conveyances. The club keeps abreast of the times, but the 1891 vehicle will play an important part in the birthday celebration on Thursday at the clubhouse. Members playing leading roles will be Mrs. Earl W. Carlson, in old-fashioned costume; Mrs. Martha Brisacher as the modern girl, and Miss Betty Ferris with the umbrella of the gay nineties. The Friday Morning Club treasures many costumes of that period.
