D0INGS IN SOCIETY

ern idea of functions on Sunday after
moons and despite the bad weather
which ushered i'm the week there were
more than the usual number OF dinners
for tie day which was once known as
one of rest. The largest dinner was the
one given by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Bond
for Miss Clare Harrison. The day
proved a good one for the cabbies who
were obliged in many instances to carr
their passengers to their various des-
tinations an hour or so ahead of the
time for dining.
Mrs. Gill. Jr.. card party on Monday
afternoon was one of the most delight
full yet given although the weather
threatened disappointments in the
morning. Miss Dufield won the first
prize wit her usual luck and skill.
Tuesday Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Bacon
gave a joint whist party. Mrs. Wat
sons large rooms were well filled with
tables. The afternoon was delightful
and artist 20 a degree from the admir-
able cuisine to the dainty prizes, the
first and BOBBY prizes being souvenir
spoons. one a replica of the other. Mrs.
L. L. Patrick scored the highest and
Mrs. Gregory was fortunate enough to
carry of the BOBBY prize. s
Society is iamenting the fac. that not
a few of it's well known ladies are
migrating to Fairview. Mrs. Watson
has rented her pretty home and is daily
awaiting a telegram from Mr.. Watson
who is interested largely IL mines in the
new place and is also Interested in the
townsfte company. Mr.. Gregory is also
interested in the townsite company az
Fairview and intends to nave his wife
installed in the new home hy the end Of
this week. Mrs. G~elsthorpe is another
prominent figure who will be sorery
missed from Goldfeid's gatherings. 1t
seems strange that she should be flit-
ting to Fairview also. But DIR. Gels
thorpe was one of the first on the field
and was soon impressed with the sta
bility Of the new camp. Mrs. Gelsthorpe
is rather mournful at the prospect of
leaving Goldfield where she has gained
for herself the reputation of being a
splendid hostess. brilliant conversations
alist and a splendid manager.
The sequence whist parties which the
Ladies' Aid is maneuvering for the hen
eft of the organization had it's initial
performance Tuesday evening in its
own home. There were a good number
in attendance though not as many as
were expected. The public should re-
spond as this cause is a worthy one.
The prizes which are to be awarded at
the end of the season will be very hand
some, well worth working for. and the
refreshments which are included in the
fifty cents admission very excellent.
The L. L. Patrick's automobile has
arrived at last. 1t is a handsome ma
chine. but had been so long reaching it's
new owners that some fear was enter
tanned of its being lost. a funny thing
happened which caused a ripple of ex-
element Wednesday morning. Mr..
Wilkes was seen riding through the
streets in a handsome machine drawn
by horses, more mysteriously han any
Lohengrin. The excitement died out
with the suddenness it began when 1t
was learned that he was merely plotting
his neighbours auto from the train<to
it's fortunate owners.
The Robinson's are in their home at
last, although they are a long way from
settled. The house is as cosy as posi-
BILE for although ar architect. was en-
ployed to make the rougher plans yet
Mrs. Robinson's ingenuity was drawn
upon for many of the little touches
which only a good housekeeper's eye
can see the need of. The first guest to
invade the new home is Mrs. Robinson's
brother, Mr.. Vickers. Mr.. Vickers, whose
home was formerly Baltimore, but more
recently from Denver, is in Goldfield for
a flying trip merely, as his interests are
all in Palmetto.
The death of c. H.. Elliott. of the firm
of Patrick, Elliott & Camp was a great
shock to everybody. Mr.. Elliott was i'll
but a few days and his death was not
looked forward to as a possibility untir
the very last. The sympathy of every
one in camp has been extended to Mrs.
Elliott either personally or by letter.
Mrs. E. T. Patrick's card party Thurs
day, complimentary to Mrs. Gelsthorpe,
who is about to leave camp, drew it's
usual quota of fashionable people, and
the club was absolutely deserted, not
withstanding the fact that it was
ladies' day.
Thursday night, ladies' night at the
Montezuma club, saw the usual array of
pretty gowns and feathers. A delight
full program was rendered, after which
dancing was INDUCED in by the few who
are welded to the pleasure.
Friday night the Nevada club meets
for dancing as usual.
Mrs. L~ockhart's afternoon on st.
Patrick's is to be the most unique en-
tertainment yet given in Goidfeld. The
invitations read: you are invited to
take a trip with me through Ireland;
guides free Those fortunate enough
to receive invitations are looking with
pleasure and a great deal of curiosity
to the seventeenth.
On the evening of the seventeenth an
entertainment and dance is to be given
by the sons and daughters of the land
which owes a debt of undying gratitude
to st. Patrick. The money raised will
be used in the cause of religion.
Mrs. Frank H.. Lathrap is in San
Francisco for a rest from Goldfield's
constant demands on her time and
strength.
Mrs. Fletcher is another Goldfieldan
also in San Francisco. She is registered
at the st. Francis.
