It WAS QUIETLY SPENT
Nothing Mars the Peacefulness of
Anaconda's Christmas.
MANY ATTEND CHURCH
Places of Worship Crowded at Each
Notwithstanding Popular Pas
time-A Few Kodaks Out.
Some Good Dinners.

Christmas day passed off very quietly
in Anaconda. The churches at which
Christmas services were held attracted
a good many people. And as rule the
services were appropriate and impressive.
In most of the churches there We're espe-
cially prepared programmes for the day.
In nearly all extra musical features Were
added.
AT st. Pauls Catholic church there were
celebrated five masses and at each the ed
ifice was crowded to suffocauon. At the
late mass hundreds of people were unable
to gain admittance. The same condition
prevailed at vespers, which was sung at
730 in the evening. The music of the 4:3D
and 1915 masses was the most classical
of all church music, Mallards mass being
the one sung. The solos and duets We're of
an excellent character. Father Pirnat
OBLIGATED at two of the masses for the
benefit of the Austrian-American men,
bers of the congregation.
AT st. Marks Episcopal church, in adj
dition to the regular services the musical
programme as published in the Standard
was carried out under the direction of
Professor kennicott. Rev. Mr.. Dobson
preached a very impressive sermon,
which was attentvely listened to by the
congregation.
Several of the other churches also had
Christmas services and in each instance
the houses of worship were crowded al
most to Overlooking.
After attending divine services a great
many people took advantage of the ex-
cellent seighing and all of the cutters
in town We're engaged. The seighing was
made more enjoyable by the warm and
pleasant weather which prevailed though
late in the afternoon the snow was pretty
well worn off the most frequented streets
and the runners of the cutters began to
grind on the rocks Out of town, however,
the roads remained in good condition. A
number of parties comfortably slowed
away at the bottom of bob SleighS, in
some cases drawn by four horses paid
visits to their friends in the country. AT
time eight cutters Were counted on
Park avenue following each other in close
succession, and the other thoroughfares
We're equally well lined with swiftly Gid
ing sleighs.
The hotels and restaurants of the city
served excellent Christmas dinners and
many people took dinner down town in
preference to preparing the meal at home.
The most elegantly prepared menu of
the day was that gotten up by the man
agement of the Montana. The card upon
which it is printed is an artistic specimen
of the photographers and printers handi-
craft The front page of the card is en-
bellished with a beautiful Christmas
picture entitled Christmas Morning" and
represents a happy family of father,
mother and children. The father and
mother are looking on while the children
are trying their new toys-ritie, drum
and dolls.
