Anceny, when about $50 society men,
bers We're entertained. The event was
one of the largest and most brilliant of
it's kind ever undertaken in Bozeman
as well as the most successful in the
way of amusement and fun. The hotel
lobby was very tastefully decorated
with potted plants, palms and hot
| house flowers. A number of little Ia
b1es were to be found scattered around
| for card playing, and in one corner of
| the room a coZy little white tent was
| to be found. During the evening a
| gypsy fortune teller, impersonated by
Mrs. Williams, told the future of those
| who wished to cross her hand with a
| silver coin and look into the mysteries
of the unknown to the poor lay mind.
| Card playing was INDUCED in for some
time in the lobby and dancing was en-
| joyed in the dining room, the dance
programmes being very pretty little
works of art finished in pen and ink
drawings and made fitting souvenir
of the event. The wants of the guests
were bountifully supplied in every way
possible. Delicious punch was to be
| found in one of the recesses at any
time during the evening, and at u
| o'clock dainty refreshments were
| served. The enjoyable evening was
| brought to a close with cake walk,
which was INDUCED in by about eight
couples, who We're apparently very pro-
| ficient. Sherman G. Phillips was the
| master of ceremonies and performed
his duties with becoming grace and in
an impressive manner. The winners of
the walk were Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
Story, jr., with Mr.. and Mrs. T. B.
