The dancing party remained until after
one O'Clock.
The reception given by the Helena teach-
ers on Monday evening at the Board of
Trade rooms was a most pleasant affair.
The teachers we're out in full force, bring
ing many of their friends with them. A
reception committee met the guests in the
hall and in%troductions followed, putting
The visiting teachers and guests on friendly
terms with each other. Little knots were
gathered about the rooms discussing tho
various topics of ths day-the institute, the
weather, the gentlemen, the perve:sity of
the Youngsters minds and guessing which
teacher wss the most likely to mary first.

son, 8. G. Fitzpatrick, and William Guthrie,
each vieing with the other in doing the hon
ors Of the evening. Gentlemen wore at a
premium. there being about six ladies to
one of tho nobler sex, but 80 slight a diff
ference seemed not to mar the enjoyment
OF tho evening for the gentlemen. Dancing
formed a prominent feature of the even-
ing's recreation and even the genial ex-
mayor and now alderman cut many n pretty
pigeon wing and balanced on the corner
like a dancing mastor. Refreshments were
served at II O'clock and at about midnight
the company dispersed. Among the guests

The Home Social club gave another OF Its
series Of parties in the Helena BUSINESS Col
lsge hall on Friday evening. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that it was the evening after
Thanksgiving and everybody was expected
to be tired, a gay party assembled to while
AWAY the evening in = social game OF cards
or in dancing to tine music. A most pleas
ant evening was spent by all. The refresh
ments were served in n most unconventional
manne but il is doubtful if they wero ever
more enjoyed. The officers OF the club are
to be given much credit for the satisfactory
manner in which the evenings entertain
ments are carried out. The ladies to whom
the honor is due are Mrs. Fratz, Mrs. Hind
aon, Mrs. Sulgrove and Mrs. G. g. Evans.
