HELENA, October 12.-[Correspondenceo OF
he Miner. jim the heat OF the political cam
lpaignin this Territory much has been said
about the relative merits OF the rival cam
didates for Delegate, but little or nothing
about the important personages, their bet
ter halves. It would, indeed, be carrying
Goals to Newcastle to attempt to write OF
Mrs. W. A. Clark to a Butte paper, where
she is SO well known and beloved, and
where her many graces OF character are
recognized. Aqueen in her own home, she
dispenses the most charming hospitality in
q simple and unostentatious manner, and
the tact and grace she displays will gain a
new charm when exercised in the broader
and more popular social sphere to which,
as the Delegates wife, she would readily
adapt herself.
IT is A COMFORTING
that whoever is the next Delegate, the
Delegates wife will be a person eminently
well-ftted for the place; and should the
Republicans happen to win Mrs. Carter
will take a worthy place in the line OF
DISTINGUISHED DELEGATES WIVES.
Mrs. Carter was born and nursed a
Democrat and who shall say she is not
still a Democrat? When Intercepted on
this point she wisely answered: "Women
have no politics." She is a quiet, digniied
woman, with q wealth of common sense
mingled with many accomplishments, and,
all in all, q thoroughly well-balanced
character. She was educated in an Eastern
seminary, where she acquired a knowledge
of the classics and languages, and won the
highest honors in music. She is en- accom-.
plished musician, ~passionately fond of the
art, performing equally well upon the harp
and pinao. No guest at her home ever
complained OF ennui. No entertainment,
large or small, ever lacks in anything that
can add to the enjoyment of her company.
A feminine constituency maybe interested
in knowing that she is very tall, has brown
hair, hazel eyes and dresses exceedingly
well, though in quiet, subdued colors. 1t

are almost as serious as when Ward Nc

it is Justice to say that Judge Hedges and
family are not assuming to be exclusive at

| OF society, but are modestly e~ndeavoring
to choose their old-time friends rs their
guests on this occasion, and they are most
| unpretentious in the effort. The brides
dress is the absorbing topic at present, and
it is not to divulge a secret, but to be en-
terprising in news that induces me to de.

SOCIETY WAS IN ECsTACY
last week over the dancing party to be
given by Mrs. Broadwater, thar whom
there is not a more delightful hostess in
| Montana. Hundreds will testify to this
| who in the past have experienced the charm
| of her manners at home. The elegant way
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Broadwater have
entertained their friends is one OF the we'll
| known facts in the social history of this
Territory, for their circle is a good deal
i wider than the limits OF their own town.
| The cards were out for this occasion and
| all arrangements made when a dispatch
from the East came announcing the sad
news of the detah of Mrs. Broadwater's
grandfather. This of course changed all
their plans and the party was given up.
THE ART EXHIBITION
| at Miss Mason's studio was a feature OF
| this week. 1t is gratifying to know that
| in this far West town can be found a
l teacher of such rare excellence, and who
| works and teaches in a purely legitimate
manner, and that only real, earnest art is
| taught. This was IN exhibition OF the
1 pupils work to show their rapid. progress,
| but some of Miss Mason's own studies
graced the walls. Particularly interesting
were some characteristic italian faces
which had won the approval of Jules
Lefevre of the famous Julien school in
Paris, Miss Mason came from that school
one year ago to Helena, where she has had
| classes ever since. The pupils who ex-
hibited were Mrs. John T. Muphy, Mrs. B.
F. Tatem and Mrs. W. Green, and the
Misses May Ward, Mamie Webb, Addie
Muphy, Nellie K1nkendall, Bertha Frank
and many others.
MANTLE's SEDUCTIVE ARTS.
IA very large company OF Democratic Ia
dies went to Great Falls yesterday to at
tend the ratification meeting and listen to
Messrs. Clark, Maginnis and Newman. The
Democratic ladies are vastly more enthus-
iastic than their Republican sisters, and
do much in the way OF encouraging the
leaders on to victory. The Republicans
had q creditable affair one week ago, and
many were the admirers OF Mr.. Lee Man
tie, who was almost buried in bouquets
after delivering himself of a very eloquent
speech on the wrong side Of the question.
Pity to waste SO much good oratory in
such a blind manner. II Butte will send a
delegation oftener it may rouse the enthusi
asm of the dormant republican damselss
Mr.. Mantle even touched the adamantine
heart OF the Democratic ladies who list
ened.
A N GAME
excited intense interest last week. A nota-
BILE four played on Friday, while an anxious
! audience watched, ten dollars being the
stake. The players were Messrs. Perkins,
De Witt, Crosby and Carpenter. The win
ners were Mr.. Crosby and Mr.. 8. Carpenter.
who realized their victory to the extent OF
ten dollars each.
