a dispatch from Butte, Mont,
says the social leaders of Butte are
very much agitated because several
members of the upper set have been
refused admittanc to the residence of
United States Senator w. A. Clark
by the senator's young wife. In com
pany with her husband, she returned
to Butte several weeks ago, after an
absence of several years. According
to the dispatch three of the more
prominent women of Butte society
called at the Clark mansion, but the
butler was instructed TO inform them
that Mrs. Clark was not at home. The
fact that this trio had been snub-
bed did moi deter others from calling.
Some of them were admitted and well
coined cordially. Then it leaked out
that Mrs. Clark preferred the friends
of the old days to those who seek to
pay homage now that she is wealthy,
but who failed to recognize her or
any member of her family at the time
when she was Miss La Chapelle and
known only as the daughter of a poor
French physician, struggling to sun
port his family.
