HELENA, February 22.-[Correspond'
ence of the Miner.1-There appeared
in some scraps OF social gossip
in q morning paper a few words
which created some CONSERVATION. In
reference to the Dude club, the circle was
given the title F. G. D. G. Different inter-
pretations we're pronounced and finally
some one said it must mean first class
chumps," emphasized with q big, big D.
most too good a fit.
A woman Whose only passport to society
is money is the woman who will faint at
the sight OF washtub and go into convul-
sions if some one suggests thatit is beneath
no true woman's dignity to be able to cook
il the occasion requires. / have said before
there were women OF this kind in Helena,
and my assertions have caused the noses
OF several fair danes and damosels to be-
come 30 tip. tilted that a Scot would admit
there were good accommodations for snuff.
But it is not the noses alone Of these fair
creatures which are up to snuff; the ladies'
ShN0 Uuo udEh anu buOOU du W OCCd-
sion requires are, individually and cellec-
lively OF a certain pattern, as wise as SER
pents but by no means as harmless as
doves.
/ will illustrate by q little incident. A
few nights ago the silver anniversary of
the Knights Of Pythias was celebrated by
Myrtle Lodge of Helena with a banquet.
The best people in the city were present.
Among the number were two young ladies
save the mark once again and shoot at
it-who took their seats in a corner Of the
and did not remove their wraps
while dancing was going On. Half an
hour before the doors Of the
banquet room were opened
females asked a good
natured person to take them in to supper,
and, being one OF the managers, he managed
to carry out their wishes. While they were
the common grub prepared for com-
mon people, too common for them to come
Ia contact with, a prominent K. OF p. en-
tered the supper room and great was his
wrath. Had he not been q gentleman he
would nave ordered them out of the room,
but he did nothing OF the kind. He allowed
these Insignificant specimens OF female
to gorge themselves free from the
OF the common herd. He
have bundled them out neck and
crop.
AS Madame De Stael says: 1--WE are all
common, but, thank God, some are com
noner than Others"
-
The air of being on exhibition which
Middleton carries about with him
g appalling. During a casual conversation
,ne gets an idea that, in his condescension, |
he will hand out complimentary tickets,
Ind is duly ready to be grateful. He is a
OF the ladies. He has a close rival
n Mr.. Brown. But for the fact that Mr.. !
labors under difficulties in expressing |
in English, he pight even ride rough
hod over the blonde Adonis. "Mr. Brown
3 ardear man, so devoted to usl" That's
he universal opinion among the fair ones.
What with the charming smiles, the costly |
mace more precious by sweet
thoughts and fair wishes exualing..fr ON
very petal. and last, but not least. the
.bility to do as he pleases aud attend
essions only when he likes, the average
lawmaker has u soft place, and
OF course, a happy a JERRY.
