NCE there was no hunting in
Virginia yesterday on account
~ Of rain, the hunting set who had
attended the delightful dance at
the Polish Embassy Wednesday night,
given by Count and Countess Potoka,
were able to sleep late. Some OF them
went horseback riding in the after
noon after the rain stopped. just to
keep their hand in, others played
bridge, and the very energetic bowled.
There Is a new bowling alley in Mid
dleburg, which is most popular among
the young people. Every one you saw
yesterday was talking Of the Embassy
dance and what good time they had
had. 1.-THE music was wonderful, the
supper delicious" and "a good time was
had by ALL"
It sounded like q real party from
start to finish. It seems from &C.
counts that as usual in Washington
diplomats began leaving the dance
about 2 o'clock, while the hard-riding
Virginians made merry until o'clock
in the morning. At one Of the Vir-
ginians asked the count If he wouldn't
like him to steer the crowd homeward
"as Old Virginia never tires" but the
host said he was enjoying 1t as much
as any one there. At 5, though, they
began to think Of the fox hunt at II.
As they left, I don't believe any one
was sorry to find it raining, so that
they could sleep late after arriving
home.
Mr.. Frank c. Littleton Of historic
Oak Hill, near Aldie. Va, gave a
dinner before the dance for Harry
Worcester Smith. Those invited were
Mrs Emily Starr, Mr.. and Mrs. Cromp-
ton Smith and Frank Littleton, jr.
They all motored to Washington for
the dance later. At the Mayflower

TO FRANK CONLEY
FORMER PRISON WARDEN CELE-
BRATES SEVENTY-THIRD
BIRTHDAY

Without exception beloved old-time
residents of Deer Lodge have had to
wait until death overlook them before
they were paid any tangible tribute,
but not so with Frank Conley, for
many years warden of the state prison
and credited with starting the honor
system in prisons throughout the
United States.
A few days ago some IS old-time
friends motored to Deer Lodge from
Butte, Helena, Anaconda and neighbour
ing cities to join with Deer Lodge
friends in wishing him many happy
returns of the day. He was 70 years
of age.
Dinner at the lake home of Mr..
Conley marked the occasion. with gifts
from every corner of the state making
the day a long to be remembered one.
MI. Conley, the personification of
what the old west stood for, typi-
flying all the sterling qualities that
gave Montana its start, is as rugged
in appearance and health as he was
so years ago.
Always ready for a chat with old
time friends, he is possessed of the
kindly disposition that extends the
hand of friendship.
Deer Lodge residents have a great
pride n that beloved resident.
