Think you are among the Philistines
svhen you go to Goldheld, you are mis-
saken, .,... -, ,,,,, - oo,sao,,
there has never been a gentleman en-
tertained in my house in the evening
lvho did not come in evening clothes,
svas the remark of one of Goldfeld's 8
7ocial leaders, male in refutation Of the
ltatement of a new arrival in camp
hat ali mining camps, Goldfield In
s,luded, are accustomed to disregard the
.locial amenities.
J The woman is the wife of one of the
3oldaeli millionaires and she knew
whereof she spoke. There is nothing
.)ourgecisia in Goldfield society. They
have finger bowls, colored maids, prt-
tyate secretaries social secretaries and
ilpen face vests. Best of all, they have
1 wonan's club that is nothing short
.of the worlds eighth wonder.
A few days ago a couple Of Los An
lzeles women came to Goldfield. They
we're here during the engagement or
Nat Goodwin and were nightly seen in
lDne of the boxes. On the train coming
into camp they asked of resident who
Twas returning from a visit TO Los An
xeles, what kind of clothes the people
IN Goldf1eld wore.
. you Know we W6Ie lOlu " DAhho
lonlv the plainest things, and we have
Lon1e with no clothes at ALL" said one
Of them.
when told that in Goldfeld people
dressed lust as we'll as in any other
bart Of the world. they seemed mucn
distressed, but the dear ladies, strange
10 say, appeared each evening In new
creations.
When a society woman in Los An
teeles decides to give luncheon or
tea all that it Is necessary for her TO
Ia ie 10 give few telephone orders to
florists ind caterers and everything is
. ARRANGED. Not SO fortunate is her Cold
feld sister. When she decides to enter
staip she has to call all her feminine IN
,yenuItv into being and the result Is
usually triumphant one
Bungalows in Camp
Although Goldfeld is only three years
ne aee. there are some bungalows In
renon which are quite as attractive as
those II, any California city. There is
not . growing flower in camp, and yet
ihf the social affairs there is riot Oh
enlosgon that makes newcomers open
their eyes in astonishment' me Golo.
7eld society woman thinks nothlng ol
,;ending TO Los Angeles OF 70 0ai az
hTrancieeo for lowers with wh1ch 10
I1iscnrate her home, and if there is not
inoe 10 send out of the state she senus
oesseneers o,It over the desert u
.a+her the beautiful Nevada wild now
ne Tn catering she uses no less IN
isenuity than IN decorating.
" Automobiles and carriages are more
cJlentiful, according to the size OF tne
own. than in a metropolitan CITY. MOS
If the women pay Visit OF t"o ~
Iew York each year and at tnaI tillle
II n- Ia+bas enough to last them
Through the season. Others order tnelr
fsroygns from Los Angeles, but however
hev get them, they are quite as hanu-
,onos as any seen in the Los Anseles
j.. lrawing rooms. 49,, ,,.i,,os or

'aThis is our home, ana as we are J Juoe

fehe leaders.
