In Bozeman.

Bozeman, April ga very successful
entertainment was given in the Ma
sonic hall on Friday evening last by
the Lily of the Valley chapter No. A,
Order of Eastern Star The large room
was crowded with an enthusiastic and
pleased audience, who We're treated to
one of the most entertaining pro-
grammes given during the past social
season. The star of the evening was
Mrs. Lenore Murray Weirick of Butte,
who fairly took her audience by storm
with her excellent elocution and artistic
impersonations Mrs. Weirick is with
out doubt by the far the best elocu-
zionist who has favored the citizens of
Bozeman with a specimen of her abil-
fly, and her recitation and impersona-
ton are surpassed but by few. The
two representations. Prompt Obedi-
ence" and THE Bad Little Girl and
the unique selection, "Baby'S Solllo-
guy We're probably the favorite Sc
lections of the evening, and they all
were so well given as to cause one and
all to laugh their best. Scene From
David Copperfield," Archie Dean
Jamie" and the remainder of the pro-
gramme We're recited so well as to leave
no room for criticism. In fact 1t was
hard to tell which particular part OF
the programme was enjoyed the most,
but as Mrs. Weirick is SO near perfec-
IL
the rightful heritage of praise from the
more serious and tragic productions.
Should Mrs Weirick ever give another
entertainment in BOZeman she can al
ways count upon good audience ana
a pleased one. The other part of the
programme consisted in vocal solo by
Miss May Travis. which was greatly
enjoyed: l.. L. Howard played cornet
solo with his usual excellence and Per

with violin solo. Next to Mrs. Wei
rick, the songs of Mrs Lester S. Will
son. although she has sang to Bozeman
/ audiences for a number or years ana
still charms them, We're the most en-
joyed and encored several times. The
ladies of the chapter are pleased win

On Tuesday evening of this week Dr.
and Mrs. Nutting celebrated the 50th
anniversary of their wedding at their
home on Olive street. About 100 inVi-
tations had been issued to friends in
the city and abroad to attend the pleas
ant event, and about so responded in
person. A reception was held during
the earlier part of the evening of an
informal character, While the latter
part was more on the style of social
evening with old friends of the family.
The house was very prettily decorated
for the occasion with white and gold
carnations, typical of the golden we'd
ding of these two old citizens who have
lived together until silver threads APP
peared among the gold. During the
evening Dr. Reid read a very pretty and
appropriate poem by Rev. Davis Will
son, written in honor of the event.
Many congratulatory letters We're re-
ceived as well as a number of valuable
presents. Mesdames Armstrong, Ben
epe, Boyles and James Martin assisted
in the reception of the guests, and
Misses Mary and Matte Gardner and
Elizabeth Wylie helped to serve the re-
freshments which consisted of ice
cream, cake and coffee served infor-
mally.
The Utopia Whist club was enter
tanned by Miss Ballinger and Miss
Cantwell at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Davidson on Grand avenue last Friday
evening. The evening was passed with
the usual pleasant games of progressive
whist AS soon as the guests had ar
rived each lady and gentleman was pre-
scented with lawn necktie, there being
two of a color. and in this manner the
partnerships for the games We're
formed. AS the progressions were made
pieces of candy, nuts with conundrums
in them and the like were fastened to
the ties of the players. At the end of
the evenings play Miss Stella Flowers
and Elmer Ray were found to be the
lucky winners of the prizes, which We're
both very pretty pictures The guests
were then served with very dainty re-
freshments. The following We're pres
ent: Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Ray, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamme, Mr.. and Mrs. White,
