The deyotees Of Terpsiohore offered mp q
few moro delightful. but swift feetina
hours at her alluring shrine on Friday
evening, the occasion being the second an
nual ball OF tho Helena tele0raphers. given
at Electric hall. Al $3.50 when the grand
march struck mp, the hall was already filled
with a thronQ OF handsomely gownsd and
pretty young women, md chivalrous younR
men. all on pleasure intent. The music
was enhancing md never sounded quite %

pany in holiday spirits. and-what more
was needed2 In one corner o. the hall an
instrument was kept busy ticking out re-
grets and congratulations from all over the
county, and when IN occasional moment
conld be snatched from engagements on a
we'll filed programme, tho young men were
kept busy taking down the messages.
The programmes were ingenious affairs,
the dances being named and numbered &C.
cordinR to telegraphie signals. At frst
sight. the idea of thirty dances on the card
was appalling to many, especially when it
was noted that the first dance began at 10
O'CLOCK, but on careful examination it was
noticed that for some renson. perhaps pc
culiar to themselves, teleRraphers do not
count according to the good old arithmetic,
for after considerable computation on the
rart Of the uninitiated, il was figured ont
that the dances numbered only the regsla-
tion ''twenty-four." At the end of the
programme q few dots and dashes. whom
interp 'eted, were found 10 mean: Good
bye, we will meet again next year" Among
those noticed were: Messrs. and Mesdamss

The sacred concert. which will be given
next Thursday evening at the cathedral Of
the sacred Heart, promises to be one OF the
finest musical events in the history of

adapted for the purpose, the acoustic prop
critics being excellent, and the organ proba-
bly, the finest in tho state. Mrs.. D.. W.

The season thus far in Montana fully
~justihes the Old expression that '.May day
seldom looks no in the country a. 1t does
in Books" We are oil rejoicing. however,
That the advent of May is SO near at hand,
for we regard it as the harbinger OF brighter
days and more genial skies than came with
the legacy of SHOWS and storms which was
80 unkindly left us by the late atern winter,
whose presence fingered long after the
name had departed.
In all the progress OF the world the pulses
OF the young have easilv responded TO the
q%uickeninR influences which nature puts
forth with the budding of leaf aud flower,
with the song of birds and flow of the rivu-
Let. In recognition both Of the young and
OF another class whose place is In the busy
and busting walks of life, just beyond the
limit Of youth. and who have the feeling
that "old fashions please them BEST" the
members of Miriam Chapter. No. /. o. E.
r. decided that q May party and dance
ancient social customs could be pleasantly
revived and carried out with the spirit that
marked them formerly in old and New
England. They hore their friends, one
and all. personal and in the order, the old
and young. will join them in this festivity,
"a no effort of this kind has been made BY
Ibis order for several years past.
The preparations for entertainment have
been most carefully planned and every ar
Fangement conducive to the enjoyment of
guests will be made. The May pole will
stand as erect and attractive a feature of
he occasion as did tho typical one. The
nerry thronR of dancers will e~ncircle 10
with the liRhtness of steps ana sririt which
should characterize such gala times in 'the
merry month of May" Tuesday evening,
