Prospective Bride and Grcom Decline
Many Entertainments Planned in
Their Homer. Preferring to
Have the Wedding
Quiet.

Foster nuptials has caused society to
stand still this week. And all this in
spite of the knowledge that the wedding
will be strictly private. not be witnessed
b. aliens-none but those of Foster or
Clark relationship.
No grand church wedding. as was an
ticipated. Just a free-fo- all reception
afterwards. where friends and acuuain-
tances will have an opportunity to offer
congratulations. No rows of brides
maids and ushers. but as simple and
quiet as it is possible to make it,
Many entertainments We're planned by
the friends of the prospective bride and
groom. but they firmly refused all eff
forts made in their behalf. Miss Foster
asked her girl friends to not give the
rounds of luncheons and dinners planned
for her. and her wishes We're deferred
to
The papers of the east will not believe
that a Clark of Butte could marry with
out pomp and display. and as they have
no basis to work on, the accounts of the
Wedding to be are lurid, and afford much
amusement here. BY some means few
of the papers secured photographs of
Miss Foster and of Will Clark. The
others appear to have run any cut
they had on hand. SO there has been
a procession of pictures. Lean Miss
Fosters, fat Miss Fosters. young and
old Miss Fosters, plainly gowned and
most deliberately gowned. adorned with
jewels and adorned with flowers.
AS for lineage they have had Miss
Foster descended from everything possi-
bic in the way of parents and her place
OF birth nearly every city in the Union
Will Clark as the son Of Senator Clark
OF course is easily described though
many of the actions of the past attri-
tuted to him originated with the man
who wrote the article. Such is the
penalty for being the son of one Of the
richest men of America and for ac-
cepting the hand of that son in mar
riage. To have a famous father has
its drawbacks after all.
Wedding presents are beginning to
arrive and they are: for the most part
simply gorgeous. Will Clark's two Sis
tiers, Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Culver of
New York will be here to attend the
wedding and there will be a general
Gathering Of the clans" for Will is
the last of Senator Clark's children to
marry or give in marriage.
AT the golf club there have been a
number of small informal parties and
Frank Pierce in charge, will pour tea
Columbia Garden parties have been
few owing to the weather.
Peoples Pleasure Party.
The concert last night at the Mountain
View Methodist Episcopal church. under
the above title, was most charming. 1t
was all arranged by Mrs. Jessie c. Knox.
She also got up the beautiful souvenir
programmes, in pale lavendar covering
with gold lettering. similar to the one
she designed for the Leonora concert of
the Women's club.
Tie advertisements are all in poetry,
some very good rhymes too, and all
were written by Mrs. Knox. If she were
an advertising man she could accomplish
wonders in that line. The church was
well filled with a very fashionable audi
ence and a we'll pleased one, too. All
the numbers We're encored, though some
refused to accept them. Professor Par
sons Superb Colored Mandolin club
brought down the house. and they We're
applauded and applauded.
Mrs. G. Oral Mcfarland was in excel
lent voice and sang charmingly, the Sc
lection admirably suiting her sweet
voice. Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Werick are
the finest elocutionists in Butte. The
other numbers were up to the standard
set by these favorites. The little ones
simply captured the audience. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
