A WEEK IN SOCIETY
Urma Linden Tilden.)

present at the Towne musical, which
was given in honor Of Miss Marjorie
Bowes. The fact that DIT. and Mrs.
Bowes are so well known in GoldffeId
made the event seem like a home gath
ering, the Bragdons. the divers, the
Will Ishs, the Tildens, the weirs and
the Crowells making a merry party. The
musical program was under the dfrec-
torship of Mr.. Perry, late of the Dam
rosch orchestra. Mr.. Perry was assist
ed by Mr.. Ziebler. which insured a de-
lightful and artistic evening. The
gowning of the ladies was beautiful
many instances elaborate. The floral
decorations were exquisite and unusual
for a desert town. Mrs. Towne was ef-
fectively gowned In black. Mrs. Bowes
was stunning in pink and Miss Bowes
was like a dainty wild flower in a sim
pie white frock. Miss Bowes is looking
forward to a visit to be paid to the Brag-
dons on her return from New York in
the early fall.
Mrs. Oddie and Miss Grace eddie took
advantage of Mrs. Ish's presence in

Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Tilden and
Miss Weir were graciously included as
guests of honor. The affair was de-
lightful as possible. the cordiality of
the Tonopah ladies being absolutely ir-
resistible. Mr.. Uri B. Curtis auto was
at the disposal of those wishing to make
a Sunday morning early run back to
Goldfeld. The weirs left Tonopah for
New York Tuesday morning.
Monday night the Anna Colburn-
Plummer recital filled the Presbyterian
church with music lovers. who con-
sidered themselves more than rewarded
for attending.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. L. l.. Patrick
and Mrs. Tilden rendered a mu-
steal afternoon to Mrs. Albert MacIn-
tosh of Tonopah at Mrs. Patrick's home.
The afternoon, although quite i'm
promptu was we'll attended by our best
known musical people and many other
willing listeners. Mrs. Plummer was
again heard, Mrs. Sprague sang also,
notably a Maying song which was we'll
received. Others on the program were
Mrs. Fred Crowell, Mrs. Will Ish, Mrs.
Wing Allen and Mrs. Geldert. Mrs.
Milton Ish's absence was greatly de-
plored.
Decoration day celebration is the dis
cussion of the hour. Goldfield intends
to equal if not excel the program of last
year, and under Major Stanton's able
leadership the success of the affair is
already assured. Many prominent fam
lilies have agreed to postpone their trips
out in order to lend tone to the solemn
services. Mrs. L. L. Patrick left camp
Thursday morning but promises to be
back before the event.
A party was given at their residence
by Mr.. and Mrs. T. J.. Lockhar on
Wednesday evening in honor of the
eighteenth birthday of their daughter
Myra. 1t was a delightful affair in
every feature. Those present were
Miss c.. withers, Miss E. Fletcher,
Miss E. Lotus, Miss A. Lof-
tus, Miss G.. Peer, Miss dina Duffield,
Miss S. Harrison and Mrs. oliver; the
gentlemen were Messrs. Harold Fletch-
err, Munro s.. Brown, Richard Allen,
Hugh Oliver, l.. F. Lathrop, Claude
Smith, F. Fallus and L.. b. Hahn. A
charming evening was passed and many
amusing games planned by Mrs. Lock
hart and her daughter proved highly
entertaining. Mr.. M. s.. Brown played
and sang a number of coon songs to
the delight of the party and Mrs.
oliver played the accomplishments for
several songs rendered by her nephew
Hugh oliver. Several others contrib
uted to the general fund of amusement.
Refreshments were served and very
pretty favors in the form of tiny cards
bearing cleverly distorted proverbs were
highly enjoyed.
Mrs. William Ish's home was the
scene of another brilliant though small
dinner Thursday night. The hostasses
were Mrs. William Ish and Mrs.
Augustus Tilden jointly. There was no
especial hero of the evening, for the
function was more in the nature of a
general reunion. The table was ex-
uuisite, the decorations being pink and
white sweet peas, the damask snowy
and the crystal sparkling. There were
clever toasts at the table and delightful
music later in the evening. Those
present were: Mr.. and Mrs. Ish, DIR.
Dunham, Dr.. Won Wedelstaedt of Man
haitian, Judge Jackson of Texas and
Mr.. and Mrs. Tilden.
The Montezuma club held it's ladies'
night Thursday night. The club rooms
were fairly alive with pretty women
handsomely gowned, lowering about the
pool tables and around the card tables.
An orchestra was in attendance. Mrs.
Charles S. Sprague responded to a spe-
cial invitation to sing. Her numbers
were a spring song followed by the
Rosary by request. A rare treat and
greatly appreciated by those who had
not had an opportunity of hearing Mrs.
Sprague before. Miss Boutelle recited
with her usual grace and charm.
DIR. Galloway entertained at a mid
night supper after the club Thursday
night, complimentary to Mr.. Tilden. The
genial host has long been known as
the prince of entertainers, a easily
bore out the reputation on this occa-
sion of the chafing dish. Those present
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Charles s. Spraeue.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ish. Mr.. and Mrs.
