II SOCIETY o P
How they Amused Themselves During
the FAST Week.

What promises to be the event OF the
season is a Spring and Autumn party,
soon to be given in this city. The arrange.
ments for this social event have not vet
been perfected, but there is little doubt
that the plans will be contaminated, as the
matter is in the hands OF some OF Butte's
most enterprising bachelors. The princi-
pal feature OF the party will be that
no gentleman under 40 will be admitted,
and no lady over 20 will be invited. The
principal difficulty seems to arise from
determining the ages Of the participants.
1t is, however, presumed that most ladies
are eligible, and the gentlemen's admissi-
b'llty will depend on whether they can show
q sufficient sprinkling OF gray hair: an entire
lack OF capillary growth will be a sufficient
passport. The committee having the
matter in charge feel that these restrictions
are necessary in order to secure to them
selves undivided attention from the fair
sex, which, on ordinary occasions, they
have not enjoyed. The names of the COM
mittee are not given at present, but are
well known, and will be published in The
MINERS next society report. They were
all entertained last evening by getting their
fortunes told at the gipsy camp.
THE MOONLIGHT LAWN PARTY.
Never in the history of Butte was there a
more delightful entertainment than the
moonlight lawn party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Godfrey. Lavell at Columbia Gardens,
in Horse Canyon, on Wednesday evening
last. 1t was attended by a large and select
company, embracing our best social
element. The guests all met at the elegant
LaveIl residence on the corner of Washing
ton n Park streets and were conveyed
thence to the grounds, which are about
three niles from the city. The evening was
devoted to dancing, boating on the little
lake close by, engaging in sentimental
ete-a-tetes in secluded hooks. 1t re-
minded one OF a dream of a garden in 1.-The
Arabian Nights" where the green leaves
never faded and the fragrant buds were
.pereaiallv sweet and seemed to tempt the
most .practical-minded to be somewhat
romantic. The pavilion was hung with
Chinese lanterns and other decorations;
the floor was good; the music was fur
nished by Prof. Reinhardt's band. Most
OF the toilets worn by the ladies on this
dainty ~coollooking lace goods, so we'll
suited to the occasion. The elegant supper
was served in a large tent under the trees,
and was greatly relisLed. The details OF
the affair were arranged in the most
charming fashion. It was about 2
when the party returned to their
homes. all profuse in their thanks to Mr.. |
