The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-01-02

Do you call my face a rose
With the time of the roses near?
Find truer name than this
For the brow ana lips you kiss.
For you know that roses die
In the autumn of the year,
And beside you, love. must |
Front the frost and face the SHOWS.
| was never rose nor star
Ones too near and ones too far.
I'm no pebble and no pearl,
But living, loving girl.
Mouth to kiss you, hand to keep
Touch with you while you're asleep,
Eyes to kindle when you're glad,
Hope to climb where you would creep,
Tongue to comfort when you are sad.
Call me wife and cOmrade, dear,
Call me neither star nor rose
Then the day need not dread
When the snow falls on my head.
Then my soul to yours shall be
Changeless, though my beauty goes.
And the eyes | love not see
Youth and grace forsaking me
As the bees forsake the rose
When the wind of autumn blows.
Soul on soul looks in and knows
All that's best OF you and me.
Mora Hooper.
At no time in the history of the
social life of Kallspell has entertain
ing and being entertained, been so
generally and one might say, SO per-
sistently practiced, as during the
year just past. For time last sum-
mer it looked like the social set
were going to make a business of it;
of course, to some it is an obligation
not to be evaded 1--WE are thankful
there are not many like this.)
Some new Corners have arrived
and been welcomed There are in
Vulnerable sets with no particular
leader-all are leaders and all wo-
men are queens, each set can boast
OF it's culture, hospitality, talent and
wealth.
In reviewing the social lie of Kali
ispell, it is only fair to say that
there are many men and women who
are people of the highest order of
refinement, both mentally and So
cially who do not figure in the Sc
cial affairs given here, and in most
cases it is because they do not care
to. they have neither the time nor
inclination to enter into the dizzy
whirl of society, such as cards, dane
ing. and the hundred and one other
social diversions.
For a small place Kalispell is very
sociable. The warm hospitality which
imbues the new corner with the sense
that he or she has been received with
a cordial welcome into the charmed
circle is always uppermost and the
stranger within the gates is usually
received with open arms,
We have cards, parties and balls,
bazars and church receptions. In the
summer time there are pleasure out
ings and fishing excursions, we play
tennis, and enjoy rowing and the
year just ended has scheduled more
brilliant and social affairs than any
previous year in the history of kalis-
pell Witha it has been a peculiar
year. so many weddings. few balls,
innumerable card parties and lunch
cons few receptions and dinners.
A sombre side was also revealed,
caused by the bereavement of ono of
the most prominent families in Flat
head county. The departure of a
number of we'll known people have
been chroncled, and as yet no one
has como to take their places. The
various societies have entertained
thoir friends.
The Masons bail was a great sue
cess, the receiving rooms were fitted
up. banquet spread at the hot,

The Elks, as usual, entertained
their friends beyond all expectations
The Library ball was certainly pic
turesque, and financially successful.
