Cupid has pierced the hearts Of few
patient ones who have bravely MAIN
tanned a solemn silence for 40 days.
There are more of the same kind of
knots to be tied. Not only have
there been weddings. but the church
doors are yawning for more recruits,
who are arranging details for the eli
max. Besides this there is the hiG
Catholic fair which will open tomorrow
in Miners Union hall and continue for
one week to find it's finale in the ball
rooms a week from Tomorrow night in
the Hibernia and Miners Union halls.
That is going to be the big hit of the
season. Why? Because the leading Ia
dies of the city have the affair in hand
and whenever Butte's ladies undertake
to accomplish task nothing but sue
cess is their portion. The business men
are with them heart and hand in the
proposition. It's going to rival all other
similar efforts of local history. 1t will
be fitting prelude to the spring social
season. One ticket entities the holder
to admission to both halls. Elaborate
suppers will be served at both halls and
the music is made up of two full or
chestras. Special matiness have been
arranged for Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons for those persons, including
children. who cannot well attend on
other afternoons. The admission will
be free.
