ANACONDA SOCIETY NOTES.

The Afternoon Euchre club was very
pleasantly entertained by Mrs L. G.
Smith at her rooms in the Montana
hotel Thursday. The afternoon was
pleasantly spent. and the games thor
oughly enjoyed without the usual in
ducement in the way of prizes hung up
to encourage good playing and strict
attention to business.
The ladies concluded that SO long as
the custom of giving y. ICES to the play
ers with the highest score at their
weekly afternoon games was distasteful
to County Attorney Duffy or any one
else. they would cut them out and show
to Mr.. Duffy that the idea that society
club card parties would fall fiat with.

ing staked is erroneous,
