Very lew OF Us but are glad the election
10 over, that the hurly-burly and turmoil
o. another campaign is past and gone
Ihe intrigue, treachery and perfidioui
plotting which were resorted to by som,
who call themselves honorable men ar,
enough to bring the blush of shame te
every true minded citizen in this Terri
tory, be he Democrat or Republican
The city presented a bright appearance
last evening, it being the time appointed fol
the Republican celebration OF their victory
but as many Republicans expressed it, il
was principally in honor of the Presiden
tial election.
SOCIETY WILL REVIVE.
The men having been absorbed in politics
accounts in a measure for the prevailing
dulness and inactivity of affairs in the
social world, but there are numerous Other
reasons for this general quietude
A number OF our prominent leaders art
still away but Others will probably take
their places and the future holds out
promises OF a bright season. One of the
most enjoyable entertainments of the past
week was the G. A.. r. ball which took
place last Thursday evening at Renshaw
Hall under the management OF Lincoln
Post Ne. 2.
EVENTS.
Butte society is on the qui we regarding
the very large party which is to be given
next Friday evening by two Of our most
popular society ladies'. Two OF the most
prominent Of November weddings have
already been announced, but there are yet
| others to be heard from. Modistes are
busy with new and beautiful fabrics for
bridal and evening toilets. Our grand.
mothers and grandaunts, while dwelling
fondly ON the details OF fashions OF by.
gone years. could scarcely complain that
mo one sees such fabrics nowadays
Bright metallic effects light up evening
tissues, and Egyptian contrasts full oil
shadows distinguish rich brocades. The
predictions OF last year concerning the
POPULARITY OF vELvETs
are sure to be realized. Worth, it is said,
cannot endure the ordinary English tailor
made gown, in which he declares that '.la-
dies look like stable boys"
Some marked features of entertainment
will be introduced, it is said, during the
coming winter. The Yorke, which is a com
bination OF the polka redowa and galop
steps, was one of the new dances intro
duced last season, and it is thought will
be the favorite round dance this winter.
The Vienna, the American g~avotte, and a
new dance called the Highland g~avotte, the
military schottische, the glide polka and
other combinations are all becoming more
quiet movements. and the exaggerated
slides areshortened.
