Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-13

to you Butteites. Our place may lose some
of it's novelty when it dons city airs and
will no longer be called a village, but our
Butte friends can bearip mind the fact that
when on a visit in the
NOT DISTANT FUTURE
to the city OF Anaconda that there will be
one feature that will surely be appreciated
by them, and that is a fine new mammoth
hotel, and its name is not Chestnut.
A very unique affair is now being arranged
by one If our loyeliest of entertainers,
which promises to be the event OF June. 1t
il called an ''apron picnic" and as the fair
hostess makes for each lady guest a dainty
apron, accompanied by a love of a neck
tie, some time will elapse before arrange
nents are completed. The lady guest dons
her apron and then looks about her for a
male partner, upon whom she will bestew
the necktie and likewise her closest atten-
ton during the day, and certainly nothing
will please the males more, as that portion
of our society down here delight in being
waited upon. 1t is feared that our young
gentlemen are
STRICKEN WITH SPRING
or something equally as dreadful as it is
impossible to create any enthusiasm in
them whatever on any subject pertaining
to social pleasure-parties are too weari-
some; picnics are too slow and the blessed
creatures become wonderfully busy about
the time the ladies are ~agitating a party or
anything where they know they are indis-
pensible, still the dear boys are generous
and will always 60 at the last moment,

est at those trying moments it would be
appreciated by the gentler sex. A few
young lady visitors to our tow might
have the desired effect, and it is hoped some
will take the hint and come. Some of our
young ladies are in a state OF distress for
fear Judge Winston's p%rotracted absence
in Helena is caused by having found some
one who has grown near and dear to
him. A
wEDDING
will take place i'll Deer Lodge this week,
and it is whispered that it will be d double
wedding, and the prime pal parties will be
two Of Anaconda's we'll known young
ladies. How long, oh, how long will all
this last?" when your correspondent is
longing to report a wedding n still they
90 to Deer Lodge. 1t is no longer chic in
Anaconda to take ice cream, but milk
shake instead. The Guild socials will be
the most interesting features OF the season,
and again will our young gentlemen be
crowned with happiness, as they neither
have to work nor pay fines, but are simply
petted and waited upon in order to secure
their presence at the meetings. After all
they would be very dry affairs without
them, and they evidently know it. BEE.
AS
Verify this is q sleepy town at present,
that is socially speaking, and unless some
fair visitor m to our village ere long,
will so to sleep. The weather is behaving
shamefully down here, and during the past
week we have been treated to several
deluges on a small scale. Picnics and
parties are out of the question; the
weather making the former impossible,
and the distressing indifference of the
young gentlemen makes the latter some
thing to be dreaded, as they seem de-
termined not TO show interest in anything
| OF the kind; therefore it all falls upon the
shoulders OF a few of our energetic married
ladies, to whom we are indebted for nearly
all of our pleasure. l believe the latter are
becoming somewhat weary OF it and are
now aglbatlng d series OF luncheOns and
high teas, where they can have jolly times,
and not a blessed man will be allowed
around. 1t is feared that the
BOYS OF THE COPPER MESS
are too well fed and that govt is threaten
ing them, which may account for their
stupid behavior when a party is on the
taps. At any rate, an opportunity to find
out will be offered a favored few in a short
time, as the young gentlemen will, it is IN
derstood, give a ''swell' dinner. 1t is GER
tainly no little talk, as we neal only ten
will be invited, but it is a risky step for
them to take, as the parties snubbed are
liable to go in q body and boycott the mess.
