.uREE WEDDINGS ON THE TAPIS
BUT NO NAMES GIpEN.


gOw Society Reporter Was Unexpected
ly Rewarded-A Sly Hint to Some Mar
ried FIirts-A New Partisan Fad Tha,
May BE Brought Over-Personal Notes
The fell months are iavorite time fol
hridaIs and weddings are among the princi
nal social events that Eastern society writ
ara have to write about. We also have a
law weddings on the tapis. The first on the
Est so far as known is that OF two well
Known people who, though not at the pres.
ert time residents OF Butte, not long since
uayed prominent part in society here,
and their approaching marriage is looked
forward to with much interest.
Then comes the marriage OF a lovely
blonde belle and a prominent railroad man,
and certain young gentleman on Main
street and petite lady who is no "drug''
in the market. Alas but true! one that we
had hoped to chronicle is declared off. Still
there are others, three at least, but as the
writer is sworn to secrecy they shall not be
given away.
SOME NEWSPAPER WRITER'S,
tits sad to relate, differ in one important
narticular from George Washington. for G.
W. would not tell a lie, whereas with them
falsehood is a speciality. A London re-
porter was handsomely rewarded recently
for deliberately emitting to state that the
bride was handsome and accomplished" in
an account OF q marriage. The omission
and the reward severely wrenched his sensi-
biltes.
There is very little going on at the present
time in society, and young ladies, it can be
truthfully stated, are having very stupid
time. The married ladies, some OF them at
is, il there is any particular enjoyment in
firtations. Probably there is not a woman
but possesses the
LATENT CAPABILITIES OF A FLIRT
il she wishes to develop and employ them
and happens to be with those worthy her
time and notice. There are women and
even men here who believe that no one was
ever so successful in this noble enterprise
as they. They are spoken OF as born
airts" and hug the title and are fattered
by the notoriety. Some OF them would be
illpleased with themselves could they hear
the comments upon their behavior and
would feel that their conquests were hollow
mockery.
NEW PARTISAN FAD.
A society for keeping good hours has
been formed in Paris. Perhaps a branch
of it may be established here where it is
the custom of many to turn nightinto day,
and day into night, which seems to!be one
of the results OF modern high civilization.
The members of the "Ligue du Martin"
propose to take long social walks into the
country in the morning, starting out be-
fore the rising OF the sun. They also pro-
nose to change the hours for meals having
dinner at about the time they have been in
the habit OF eating breakfast. Their
receptions will be at in the evening in
stead OF 10 or IL. They will exert their
influence to have balls, concerts, theatre
cal performances and other public enter
tainments commence at the same early
hour. This would indeed be
QUITE A REFORM.
The society world does not hesitate to
follow the fashions in dress that are set in
Paris and it may adopt the fashion Of
eIty to most people. Daniel Webster, it is
said. 'trose with the lark" When he and
Lord Ashburton were settling up the north
western boundary dispute an old farmer
friend ESQ the story runs) became impa-
tient at the long delay, and accused Web
ster of forgetting the good ways he had
acquired when he was farm lad. Moth
Jug OF the kind, " the great statesman SAID.
II work hard and so does Lord Ashbur-
ton, but we do not get along as last as L
wish, as we can saldom manage it so as TO
get together. The fact is, 1 rise at every
morning, which is exactly the time my dis
tinguished fellow-laborer goes to bed"
