The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-07-19

decided to take advantage Of tho moonlight
Tor q drive to that already popular locality.
A large number went out from Helena and
East Heleda to take part In the evenings
galetlea. Notwithstanding the heat of tho
day the evening was cool, and none OF the
dancers suffered Inconvenience from tho
weather. When tho time came for pnrtak-
ing OF the refreshments tho young men
were enlisted into the service as walters,
and passed sandwiches, coffee, cake and ice
cream IN n manner worthy OF appreciation.
Tho musicians left off playing and the
dancers ceased dancing ut about two in tho
morning. and soon all was quiet at the
ranch.
On Friday evening Tom Hill, James
Ming, James Fortune, Charles Silverman,
A. b. Kleinschmidt and Mr.. Burr, longing
for an outing, engaged n livery rig and set
out for a ranch not many miles distant
from Helena, where a dance WAS in progress.
They reached the ranch mt rather n late
hour, but Judging from the smile on the
young ladies' faces. they agreed with the
ndage, cit is better late than never" Tho
heart of one poor swain, who, up to the
time OF the arrival of the above mentioned
gentlemen. had spent Il most delightful
evening dancing with his charming com
panion. suffered the t~ortures of the lnquisi-
tion. The lady would dance too much with
those young men to please him and the
she waltzed with one or the other, would
have wlthered a Russian sunt1ower.

The Cotillon given at the Hotel Broad
water on Thursday evening was pronounced
the most charminR.dance given by that club
this season. The young ladies were all at
tired in gowns suited to this season of the
