DOINGS In SOCIETY
drna Linden Tilden)

plimentary to Mrs. Gelsthorpe who is
leaving Goidheld for Fairview, passed
OF with customary eclat. There were
eight tables. Mrs. L. l. Patrick won
the first prize. and Mrs. Muth the sec
ond.
Saturday was a star day in social
circles. Mrs. Lockhart's afternoon In
ireland was by far the most interest
ing and entertaining yet attempted.
Miss Myra Lockhart was formally pre-
scented at the function. The program,
delightful as well as instructive opened
with a paper by Mrs. L. L. Patrick
telling all about her Industrious ancestor,
app~reciatively sainted for noble deeds.
Mrs. F. NJ. Nesmith. always acceptable
in recitation. followed with a poem
about the saint. DIR. Klegg told in verse
what a famous English poet thought of
the weather or the Emerald Isle. That
IL compared favorably with the weather
in Goldfeld on a March day was the
general consensus OF opinion. Mrs.
withers carried the aides through Bel
fast; Mrs. Bono through Dublin; Mrs.
| oliver invited them for a drive I'm a
~jaunting car; Mrs. Dufield then showed
them the attractions of Galway; Miss
Harrison described the lovely lace of
Limerick; Mrs. LOTUS told all there
was to tell about Cork: Mrs. Byers had
the pleasure of stating some truths
about the blarney stone; Mrs. Thomas
spoke of Irish names; Mrs. Lind of the
people of ireland: Mrs. Cox then took
everybody with her through Owens
town; Mrs. Tilden touched lightly on
religion and Mrs. Robinson spoke of the
railroad car. The singing was a rare
treat. Mrs. F. w Geldert, Mrs. Hamil-
ton. and Mrs. Ish sang solos which will
ring in the ears of those fortunate
enough to hear them for many a day.
Mrs. Lockhart and Miss Dufield sang
a charming duet. everything being ma
tive to the Irish heath. The menu
cards, the handiwork of Mrs. Byers,
wife of the Presbyterian minister, were
decorated appropriate to the land of
green. Goldfield may well feel proud
of the display of pretty 1nery present,
nothing like it having been seen in the
camp barring the Subscription dance.
Mrs. Lockhart was becomingly gowned
in pale yellow and black, while Miss
Lockhart wore pale green. Miss Lock-
hart was assisted by Miss Gertrude
Peer and Miss Clarymon Withers.
Sunday had its usual amount of din
ners en- famille, while the Sunday after
noon reception grows apace. As one at
t~ractive matron puts it TT is really so
much nicer to have the men, too"
Miss Duf7eld was the guest of honor
at a whist party given by Mrs. William
Thomas on Monday afternoon. The
party was large and the menu more
elaborate thar most card afternoons can
boast. Miss Gertrude Pyne won the
first prize, a vase of Mexican design.
Mrs. Bond was inclined to feel that luck
was against her until she learned that
the BOBBY prize had fallen to her lot.
1t was a replica of the first. The idea,
which had it's beginning with the Wat
son-Bacon party is a jolly one, having
the prizes alike saw for size.
Speaking of the Watsons. everybody
is mourning for them. During the time
less than a year-that Mrs. Watson
has been in Goldfeld. she has become
everybody's friend. The only comfort
left to those who are devoted to her is
the fact that their house is not sold. 1t
is merely rented, which means that they
will be pack some time.
Work for the Catholic fair has begun
in real earnest; busy women are having
important meetings, discussing ways
and means. Easter Sunday at the
Catholic church will see a goodly at
tendance of people of all denominations
for it has been announced that Mrs.
Milton Ish will sing a solo, under the
leadership of Mrs. Conger, Dorothy
Morton of comic opera fame. Mrs. Con-
ger will also be heard in solo.
Mrs. Barry Hamilton and Mrs. L. L.
Patrick motered way to Bullfrog in the
new machine in quest of their hus-
bands, both of whom were absent in
the south on business. Mr.. Hamilton
not knowing of the ladies intention,
was half way home before they started
from town. Both ladies continued,
however. to their destination, and had
a splendid time for their trouble. The
three lays they We're away was one
round of pleasure, luncheons and din
ners constantly. Mrs. Lawson of Gold
field was one whose hospitality was ex-
tended. The return trip was made with
Mr.. Patrick.
Miss Mclaughlin is being congratu-
lated on all sides for the wonderful
luck she has had in stocks. 1t is re-
ported that the fortunate young lady
has made forty thousand dollars in the
last few weeks.
Manhattan is fortunate in securing
for a permanent resident a young lady
whom it was hoped would reside here,
Miss Mayne, the charming daughter of
Colonel Mayne. Miss Mayne passed
through Goldfeld and made many
friends during the short time she was
here.
Mrs. C. H. Elliott writes encouraging
letters to her anxious friends in Gold
field. Her health is somewhat im-
proved although Mr.. Elliott's death was
an almost insurmountable shock. MS.
Cushman of Bullfrog, an old time
friend in the Tonopah days, accom-
panied Mrs. Elliott to San Francisco
/ and will remain with her until the re-
turn. Mr.. Lemon of Manhattan, an
old friend of Mr.. Elliott also accom-
panied the sorrowing party. Next week
will see Mrs. Elliott's return to her
home.
