OF them responded. All went away declar-

A truly novel entertainment was that
Given by MIR. and Mrs. Hardy Bryan at
their west side home Friday evening in
honor of Miss Louise Landers. After each
guest was provided with five cards repre-
senting the FIVE senses, kind Of hash,
composed Of twelve ingredients, was passed
and all partook. They were then expected
to write on the "taste'' card the names of
all the Ingredients distinguishable. Then
peep at table on which were numerous
articles. and the ''sight" card credited with
all remembered. A bottle with conglom-
GRAFTON of extracts was passed under each
nose and notes made ON the card Smell"
The fun reached its height when the party
were blindfold and let into room where
numerous instruments were being manipu-
lated, and as many instruments as could be
distinguished named on the card hearing"
and the party, still blindfolded, were al
lowed to feel Of dozen or more articles
and write on the card ''touch" the names of
all recognized. When all was summed up
the lady and gentleman having made the
greatest number of correct guesses were
awarded prizes, the champions being Miss
Ella Blaine and Mr.. Ben King. A 'booby"
prize fell to the lot of Harry Luke, who,
receiving five cents (senses). will be e1-
pected on future like occasions to excel.
After refreshments and q jolly good time
the fifty guests took their departure, each
acknowledging Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan adopts

The members of the Eastern Star lodge
Of Helena. feeling it had been a long time
since the Fourth of July and that some
weeks would elapse before Christmas, de-
sired to make merry in some innocent but
hilarious manner. At last they bethought
themselves of the already famous Child
ranch, with its elegant dancing hall, and
dining rooms, ard concluded that was just
the place to repair to-. No sooner thought
of than the luddies determined it should be
put into execution. A car was chartered
and at $3.50 Friday evening, party of about
one hundred boarded it and we're safely
drawn by the ''iron horse" Profs. Ro-
though the tunes they played were not

found no trouble in keeping time to their
merry strains. Refreshments substantial
and appetizing were served and partaken of

Miss Barbour very pleasantly entertained
a small card party at the home of her uncle,
Mr.. A. X. Prescott. on Madison avenue,
Thursday evening in honor Of Miss Thayer,
who leaves tomorrow for her home in
Bloomington, Ill. The unique feature of
the evening was the manner in which the
young gentlemen we're assigned their
partners. Walnuts had been opened and
the meats extracted therefrom, and in their
places, written on a bit of paper was a
young lady's name. The shells were then
resealed. Each gent was told to
take his choice. and the lady
whose name he. found within the
shell was to be his yis-a-vis for the evening.
The gentlemen all appeared satisfied after
the lots we're cast, and we know the ladies
were. The following ladies and gentlemen
formed the company: Misses Brooke. Cram,
Nellie Lehman, Batch, Chumasero, Wade
and Thayer; Messrs. Williams, Brandegee,
Palmer, Metten, Little, Barrows and
Prescott.

stantial for an every day diet. Those in
torested in school matters and In school
ma'ams were invited to repair to the Cen
trail school building and there to meet in
social converse those who are doing so much
in educating our boys and girls. As an in
troductory, Judge Mcconnell spoke on the
human body, sort of discourse on physi-
ology. He considered that an understanding
of ones self from physiological stand
point was one of the most essential qualifi-
cartons of the modern student. song by
the pupils, led by their singing teacher,
Mrs. Ayr, followed next. All expressed de-
light with the singing, but in justice to
Mrs. Ayr we would say that they did not do
full credit to her musical training, SO many
being absent from the class. Judge Howey
next spoke upon the necessity for manual
training in the schools. An hour of social
intercourse was enjoyed by all. A brighter,
handsomer and merrier lot Of teachers
never before got together.
Miss Matte Prickett invited dozen of her
little girl and boy friends to assist her in
celebrating her sixth birthday yesterday
afternoon at her home ON the corner of
Eleventh and Montana avenues. The great
feature of the party was large birthday
cake. Happy hearts, merry laughter and
noisy games made the afternoon pass all too
quickly and her little friends wished that
Natie's birthday came two or three times a
year and that her mamma would make such
pretty cake each time.
Mr.. A. Austin. of Helena, made visit to
Rozeman on Tuesday last, and when he re-
turned on Wednesday evening Mrs. Austin

morning of that day. The bride was Miss
Joey McBean, Of Inverness. Scotland, who
has been but short time in Montana. The
couple have taken up their residence on
Sparta street.
