The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-02-03
TTHIS was a gay week in So


about providing pleasures for them. A
few we're nobly at tue front and escorted
the bellies to the theaters during the week,
but it's an open secret that the boys are
bashful. The ladies, however, do not al
low ennui to fall upon them, and the way
they have fun at card parties, reading cir
Giles, whist clubs, and the like, ought to
make an impression on the backward
beaux and lead them to better ef-
forts. 'Twould be useless here to
tell how pretty, accomplished ana enter
tanning are the Anaconda girls, for tho
young men all know right we'll that none
are fairer or better company, but they are
SO bashful. This does not prevent the
young ladies from having good times, lots
of them, as will be seen by the programme
of the past week, and even if they have to
get out and ask the boys to n sleighride
afterwhile they propose to have one be-
fore this snow goes away or know the
reason why.
A high five party was given Saturday
afternoon by Miss Hattie Evans of South
Hickory street in honor of her guest, Mrs.
j. V. Long of Butte. 1t proved a delight
full affair. The house was profusely dec
GRATED with scarlet carnations mingled
with smilaX and ferns, while some beauti-
full Gala lilies blooming freely lent their
charm TO the general effect. Sixteen la
dies played. The tally was kept by tying
golden balls with ribbons attached to the
beautiful souvenir of a large golden ring
depending from six smaller rings which
were suspended by pink ribbons wound
in and out ending in graceful bow. The
first prize, a dainty sofa cushion of pink
and white satin and pink chiffon, was
won by Miss Henderson of Salt Lake.
TtRae
saucer, was the trophy given TO Miss
Dorothy Surprenant. The second prize,
two dozen carnations tied with ribbon
of the same vivid color, was awarded to
Miss Rueger of Butte, the guest of Miss
Surprenant. Miss May Peters won the
dainty candlestick with its taper to throw
n little light on how to play the game in
which her luck allowed her no games won.
The refreshments were delicious and we'll
appreciated by those present. Miss Evans
was assisted by Mrs. Joseph v Long and
Miss Henderson. Those present were:
Misses Gleason, Douglas, Barnes, Co
burn, Surprenant, Dorothy Surprenant,
Reuger. Peters, Henderson, Mrs. William

An effort is being made to revive the
Lincoln Lyceum, a literary society which
persisted about year ago. A number of
young men of the city are securing men,
bers and intend to establish meetings in
a week or SO.
An elegant entertainment was provided
by Mrs.SM. Donahoe and her sister, Miss
AIeloy, on Thursday afternoon. High Eve
was the feature of the occasion, and Il
tables we're occ upied by the guests in en-
joying this popular pastime. Ribbons of
various colors determined partners and
also the tables at which the guests were
seated. Mrs. Donahoe's parlors were
handsomely decorated with carnations,
hyacinths, smilax and ferns and were n
bower of beauty. Nine games were played,
all being warmly contested, and two
ladies, Mrs. w. ii. Harrison and Miss
Dorothy Surprenant, won every game.
They cut the cards therefore for the first
prize, and it fell to Mrs. Harrison. The
prize was solid silver olive fork. Five
of the ladies had won eight games, and
therefore this prize was also awarded by
luck and was won by Miss Co.
burn, a pair of silver bon bon
tongs. The consolation prize, a COL
lection of sachett bags was given to
Miss Kate Evans. The refreshments we're
most dainty and delicious. The guests
