Remarks of a Social Nature Casually Made
by "Bee."
The memorable evening has come and
gone. The one event that caused such a
commotion in society circles here and else
where is now a dot on the page Of memory.
The informality. charm OF elegance and
true hospitality. combined with the creme

made it IN event not soon to be forgotten.

tion, but a mere pen picture fails in impress.

Monday evening. The one question of
the hour is, "who was the belle of the
EVENING"" Life still hath it's charms, there
fore I will not express In opinion, neither
will I bstray those OF others. One young
lady OF Butte, blonde and beautiful, in
black attire, was the object OF much admi-
ration; also one robed in the color OF
rose petals, who participated not a great
deal in the may dance was another. Then
another with raven locks, costumed in
airy, fairy white had her praises sung Still
another in spotless white with light auburn
tresses and alabaster throat and shoulders,
was considered by many the queen of the
evening, but that is not half; coupled with
Butte's bevy OF fair maidens were her hand
sone married ladies, whose beauty and
grace won the highest admiration OF every
one. Truly the Goddess of Fortune and
the the High Priestess OF Taste seemed to
preside. 1t was suggested by a visitor on
that evening that Anaconda import more
young ladies. Our young ladies are lovely
but limited. It is q painful fact that mar
ried ladies predominate in tie charmed
circle here. Our girls are recklessly rush.

pretty debutante OF seventeen summers

beauties seek the opposite side OF the room
Since the ball our popular friend, W. L.
H., has gained in popularity tenfold (so it
is rumored) not only here but elsewhere.
Scrupulous mammas, maidens Of lofty as
pirations, and ambitious, designing widows
have turned a languid eye Upon him. He
has the ~handsomest suite Of rooms in the
building, SO girls make q note OF this, but
dc not all speak at once.
Colonel Estes says he feels ten years
younger since the ball is over. The colonel
is a wicked firt, but it was never known |
before that he was partial to our Butte |
sisters.
Since Monday evening Silven Hughes and
Joe Carroll both wish to that |

Butte's young gentlemen also made their
share OF %conquests and, dared I tell the
many pretty remarks that have reached
my ears, many a gentlemanly heart would
