The Silver City ladies' Whist Club
was entertained Friday night, by Mrs.
Frank Dwight, at the Idaho. 1t was
arranged that each lady should attend,
representing a spinster. Well, the con-
ception that nearly all the ladies had
of that very worthy, but here very
rarely seen, class of their sisters, was
extremely amusing. The attire they
all donned and the ancient style many
of them assumed in their manners was
most comical One lady wearing, old
fashioned curls hanging down her
cheeks, spectacles and a simper, was so
extremely proper that nearly everyone
with an old fashioned poke bonnet,
brought cat with her. 1t was all
laughable, but so demure that it took
a long time for them all to warm up
and see how funny it all was. They
regarded it ds too realistic. They didn't
play much whist, aud they awarded the
prize to Mrs. Franz Hall, not for her
success at the game, but for the per-
fection of her makeup of what they
conceived to be perfect specimen of
an ancient maiden lady. But after
they had partaken of refreshments,
with tea, and INDUCED in a real old
fashioned Virginia reel, they chirped
up considerably and did not awe the
gentlemen who were permitted to be
present nearly so much. Everybody
declared the entertainment was great
success,
