Bozeman people are always looking
for something new in the way of
| amusement and some very delightful
parties have been given from time to
time, but the entertainment of The
Kriemhild" (the girls literary club, is
entitled to first place, for this winter
at least. This party was given on We'd
npsday evening of this week a. the
home of the Misses Robinson, on Cen
trail avenue, and a synopsis of the eN-
ening's entertainment is as follows: 1t
being club party, and the club be-
ing composed of young ladies only, 1t
was a matter of course that only young
gentlemen should be allowed to take
part as witnesses. AT the appointed
hour about eight young gentlemen as
sembled in the parlor: in few minutes
couple of uncanny ghosts entered the
room, seized two of the aforesaid gen.
tlemen and escorted them to other
parts, after blindfoldng them. When
they were allowed to use their eyes
again they found themselves kneeling
before a being, apparently of some 9TH
err world, who ordered them to do many
uncomfortable things and If they dis
obeyed the commands of the being
with a sepulchral voice. they were
thrust into a dungeon of an aWesome
interior. The dress of this owner Of
the commanding voice. and the burn
ing brazier of colored light, together
with the fantastic surroundings, struck
terror into the hearts and minds of the
victims. After all the gentlemen had
been initiated (for this was necessary
on account of the law of the club that
no man or other being could enter the
rites or secrets unless he became a
member and a "Kriemhilder'), they
were conducted back to the parlor
again and treated to neat little anna
teur play called "A Crawford Even
ing The parts were taken by the
ladies of the club and one gentleman,
Elliot Boyles. The play represented a
scene in a town where all the inhabit-
ants were ladies of manageable age,
| with only one gentleman upon whom to
hestow their charms Before the cur
tain rose each gentleman was handed
a programme upon which was sketchea
the portrait of one of the actresses and
the several events and acts. Act l was
few minutes In Miss Jenkyn' 5
Sitting room" and act 2. After Cap
tain Browns DEATH" act 3, the heart
rending scene of Burning Old Let
ters;" act 4. the difficulty of "Announc-
ing an Engagement" and the last act
was a ''Teat Party at Lady Glen
mre's." DuriL" the last act each gen.
tleman had to select the lady whose por-
trait was depicted on the programme
for his partner and join the tea party.
: This ended the play. The remainder Of
| the evening was devoted to progressive
authors, which kept the minds of all
, present fully occupied for quite a few
minutes. This very pleasant and unique
entertainment was brought to a close
with the service of delicious refresh
ments, of which the gentlemen have
! not done talking yet. When the
baser sex were initiated into the nSs-
| teries of THE Kriemhild" club they
were presented with red, black and
white ribbons, the colors of the club
and also the German cOlors, being SYM
bolical of the nature of the work car
ried on by the ladies, which is the study
;; of German literature. The guests OF
