SOCIAL HOP
LARGELY ATTENDED
BY The ELITE
MR.. AND MRS. r. T. HARRIS AND
MISS BAGLEY ENTERTAIN
LAST EVENING.

tunate in Goldfield have been antici-
pating the pleasure which Mr.. and
Mrs. r. T. Harris and Miss Bagley
foretold by their invitations for
April 18th. 1t was the first post
Lenten affair and it truly deserves
to stand at the beginning of renewed
social activity.
Miners Exchange hall was trans
formed into charming ball room.
There were over 100 dozen carna-
lions, yellow iris, roses, marguerites
and callas, while smilax, asparagus
and maiden-hair ferns made the
splendid contrasting green. Flags
and pretty hangings of striped silk
softened the walls and windows.
Oriental rugs, sofas, divans, large
arm chairs and friendly rockers made
a drawing room of one end of the
hall and formed a pretty setting for
those receiving.
Maybe there is a more fascinating
and pleasing picture than ballroom
with handsome men and beautiful
women dancing, but it does not pre-
sent itself to the writer's mind just
7 now. The scene last night was one
to remember. Manya of the ladies
were elegantly gowned; the fashions
today certainly are responsible for
the women looking as though they
had stepped from some jewel-framed
miniature of two hundred years ago
with living words and smiles.
The dancing began promptly at 8
o'clock and was made up mostly of
waltzes and two-steps. The Paul
Jones" waltz was merry whirl
where no matter how much one re-
gretted the loss of pretty partner
she was sure to be passed 'on to the
next fellow. For those thirsty from
the exercise there was an inviting
table crowned by a large bowl of re-
freshing punch.
But, oh, please allow us to repeat
the pretty women, the pretty wo-
men! Where do they come from?
It was pleasure just to watch them.
At II o'clock partners were taken for
the final two-step and at the close of
the dance grand march was formed
led by Mr. and Mrs Harris. After
circling the room several times Mr..
and Mrs. H. H. Brown and Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. Stock began handing to
each lady beautiful bouquet of yell
low iris. When all were served the
strains Of Home, Sweet Home" be-
gan and the Waiting couples, each
with their flowers, made another
pretty scene, Then the host and
hostesses took their stand near the
door and listened to many uttering:
Beautiful party" "a delightful
time, enjoyed every minute" etc.,
ETC., and one of the prettiest cour-
tesies ever extended in Tonopah was
over.
To describe all the gowns is i'm.
possible and perhaps we may have
missed some of the most beautiful.
