GREAT FALLo PEOPLE.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 12.-Purely social
events were not SO plentiful last week as
the week previous, society seeming to de-
sire breathing spell after the gaiety Of
the holidays. The principal functions of
| the week were the colonial parties and
the musicale given by Mesdames Longe-
way, Strain and L. f. Brady. The CO.
lonial parties were held Tuesday and
wednesday evenings at the residences of
Mrs. A. +. Longeway and Mrs. II. Strain,
which are on opposite sides of the avenue.
As the name indicates, the affairs we're
conducted on the style of parties of We
olden time. The guests were dressed ac-
cording to the style in vogue in revolu-
tionary times. The gentlemen appeared
in the knee breeches, rufIed shirts and
odd looking coats worn at the time, with
powdered wigs, etc. The ladies were also
dressed in keeping with the custom of
that far off period. The fore part of each
evening was spent at Mrs. Longeway's.
where the guests were,entertained by vocal
and instrumental music given by Mrs. Ira
Meyers, Mrs. Skinner, Mrs. III. =. Brown,
Frank Wilcox and A. c. Coleman. The
house was lighted with wax candles and
an occasional incandescent light covered
with tissue paper. Buttermlk and lem
bowers. Later in the evening the guests
adjourned to the Strain residence, where
supper was spread in good old New Eng
land style. Three long tables were fairly
loaded down with good things, including
the conventional pumpkin pie and host
of other edibles dear to the palates of New
Englanders.
