Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-07-29

The most charming social event of the
week was the luncheon given Saturday
at the Butte hotel by Mrs. James A. Muir
ray, in honor of Miss Radley Of New
York, who is the guest Of Mrs. M. J. Con-
nell. The parlors where the luncheon
was served were EMPOWERED in palms
n potted plants. The piano was banked
with pink and white roses and draped
with pink chiffon, caught here and there
with delicate ferns. The chandeliers and
doorways were garlanded with smilax,
the whole forming a fitting setting for
the exquisitely dressed table, the center
piece of which was a rustic basket heaped
with pink and white roses and tied with
pink satin ribbon. From this basket gar
lands of asparagus vine and roses were
carried to the ends of the table, where
they were caught by butterfly bows Of
pink ribbon. The color scheme Of pink
and white was carried into every detail,
shaded pink candles in silver candelabra,
crystal dishes of pink and white bon
bons all adding their touch of color to
the beauty of the decorations. From an
adjoining room sweet music was heard,
being furnished by harps n zithers.
The favors were hand-painted landscapes
or dainty figures, and each lady received
a bouquet of pink roses. The menu was
most elaborate, the luncheon lasting from
two until S o'clock. The guests of Mrs.
Murray were: The guest of honor, Miss

When the young society people want to
have a particularly delightful time they
assemble at the hospitable home of Mrs.
Cornell One Of the j%olliest parties imag-
nable took place there on Wednesday
evening, and was in the nature of a sur
prise on that charming hostess, the guests
all assembling at Mrs. Largey's and 60
ing to Mrs. Connell's in a body. The party
was called a Hard times smoker and
certainly those participating looked as
though hard times had indeed fallen upon
them. Such grotesque costumes and old
fashioned finery are not often seen, and
produced an unlimited amount of fun and
enjoyment. Mrs. Connell gave all a
hearty welcome and had the house
cleared for dancing. Although 1t was a
"hard tines party, there was nothing
indicative of hard times in the delicious
supper furnished about midnight. AS
usual at Mrs. Connells everyone fingered,
10th to end so pleasant an affair. There
were present, besides Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
