view of the past season is not untimely |
and will afford some means OF enjoyment |
to those who are not entirely in sympathy |
with the Lenten obscrvanccs.
The winter of 1891 and '9j has been a
pleasant one socially, and there have
been numerous novel and charming
events in soclety's realms. The incident
about which centers the chief interest was
the social struggle between the members
of the social club and the grasping trus-
tees of the X. Il. hall, which threatened
for a time to result IN the dissolution OF
the club and the sacrifice of Mssoula's
env able reputation as n sub-cen or oil
% 'ial life in NJ Jntana. The crisis was an
important point in the history OF Mis-
soula's swim, and will not be forgotten
for n long time. But the club won and
Missoula's fame mained-shc is a town
of thoroughbreds, who are determined
TO have their swell social whirl
no matter what the cost, pro-
vided always that it isn't too much.
The entertainments given by the officers
and ladies of Fort Mlssoula during the
season have been n delightful feature of
the social life OF the local 40 and will
long be remembered by the 70 rtunatc par
ticipants. There has always been nov
lent them an added charm. The guests
never knew just what is in store for them,
bur were always sure that something
pleasant was coming. The Bioda club
has not been quite so active this season
as last, but has always come to the front
at critical times, when it was most needed
to revive the tagging pulse of society.
One of Its leading spirits has
| been absent from the city all
winter and another has proved false TO her
| club vows and has formed a club of her
own with total membership of two.
| The parties of the social club have been
pleasant and ENJOYABLE and have been
| fairly we'll attended, though not as well
as in former years. The organization OF
the Lotus club has brought the young
men of the town into closer contact and
! the club has become an established feature
OF social life in the University city. 1t Is
a model and is endorsed by mothers,
wives and sweethearts, as it has no bar
and no buffet. Whist has retained Its
position as the favorite game of society in
| Missoula and high five has made only
spasmodic attempts to dispute the favor
itism. The WHIST club has met regularly
and there have been numerous indepen-
dent card parties that have been pleasant
and profitable. The departure of the
Treble Clef society in taking up the criti-
cal and scientific study along with its de-
lightful musicales has been an innovation
that its members find both interesting
and instructive. All in all, the season
that closed this week has been a very sat.
isfactory one.
