Ii I i. ''S I `ý I 7 r'l' ]IE giddy manner in whloh people are' plunging into the s(l:tl vor tex this week will certainly bring he,. inevitable aftermath of head a'hs. andi lbroino-seltzer n ct week, or plthaps I)a me Nature will be kind and w alt until after the 12thi to repair the au vages of over-play. A numnber of novel parties have boon given this week, as well as the usual stereotyped dance,. dinner and luncheon affairs. And really the West Side will have to look to its laurels for the South, E]ast and North Sides are forging ahead Silth all manner of gay, novel functions. Already society is looking forward to devising all manner of nice, qluliet little affairs at home, Just with their familiars, anlld hey are not going to give just quiet little teas and dinners. In the East they are' going to go in for crystal gazing, such a ni-e, Poulful, quiet way of doing time. It is a nice game, but a la solatatre. First, you catch your hare, or, in other b\ords, purchase your crystal balls, and nlone are absolutely safe but the ones you get from the psychical research people. Then, one by one, people go into a room alone; you sit down with your back to ilhe tight and place the ball of fate on a dark ck,th in your lap, or even a dark dress will do. You, must exclude refl.c tilns--even the one that you are mak ing a fool of yourself-then you think hard of any old thing and stare at the ,ball, not less than five minutes. If you are psychic you will see things-it not, you'll probably say things. It is claimed you will see pictures of r, al persons and things, and reaT scenes will be reproduced. Things happening mills away. Here is a chance to find out the real status of the oopper market. At any rate, several people claimed to .,y its aid. And great scientific people Ihave been able to corner several things really believe wonderful things by its aid. And great sclentiflo people really belleve wonderful things of the crystal, a spIher" al ball of solid glass two inches in diameter. It is said that from now on until the 1-th, Ash Wednesday, society will do nothing but frivol and frolic, and a num Iler of brilliant functions are already sctheduled, several for the same night, and also for the same day, but what will you? Tliere is only a week and a half left. Mrs. C. W. Clark's Dance. 1Mfrs. Charles Walker Clark compli nllnted the members of the O. W. L.

Mrs. Harry W. Wilcox gave a dinner on Thursday evening, which was a very smart affair In every way. The table was oharmingly deeked with the reddest of carnations nidl Meteor roses, in the form of an oblong Imouind. The na lm cards were in red, itrds in watlr colors, well worth framing. The dinner was gl\en for Mrs. Charlis M. (Goode of Seattlei, a sister of the hos tess. After dinner the gtuests reminiedl to listen to musical selections inli eln joy Cdllversation.

Mrs. Scoby is not a membener of the club, but ihas often acted as a Hsubtitutue. Not being a member, site w.as not bound by the rllles, so her rooms were charmingly decorated, and her menu an elaborate one. The double parlors and hall were show ered with gorgeous red "mums," a new variety sent from Seattle, with a simply unspellable name, and almost unpro nounceahble. The mantels were han.ed with them, and the hugh mandarin Chi nese jars were filled with them. They seem different from the usual mum in that they droop gracefully instead of standing stiffly erect. The dining room was in red mums also, with a few ferns. The center of the table was filled with a tbank of moss, lovely velvety green moss, starred with white narcissus and outlined with maidenhair ferns. Take It all in all, the decorations, all done by the hostess, were about the prettiest seen at a home function this year. At each cover was laid one magnificent mum, and to it was tied the dainty name card of Japanese rice straw with (elsha girls outlined in gay colors. The lmenu was charmingly served, two little maids, Miss Dr)nrothy Martin and Miss Vivian Little, acting as waitresses. They weire gowned in pleturesque robes of Japan, and snap shots wo're taken of them, but owing t, t the poor light were failures-"The light tIat falehtd." Tioutl lion in cups, oysters on the half shell, headed the me'nu, and on to dessert. IReally an Oriental lunchell n. The first prize, at half dozen hand paintedl fish piintes, w\'ats won by MIrs.

To Insure punct :unlity thei club voted the first meeting to fine every dilatory member 10 cents. One nie i(.ir was late on Monday and paid hIr little dimeo with good grace. A nIamlle had to be chosen and the club deblated long and earnestly as there are so, many card clubs in Butte the peculiar ly applicable names have all been em ployed. Finally a man, just an ordinary everyday man, who was In the house and \ as lmgnanllously allowed to remain, nl,t to play, oih dear no, just to go from n tatbl to table and punch tallies-sug- p gested the name "Kismet." His sugges tion was eagerly adopted and Kismet It " Is and a happy fate indeed to be a mem- h her. s It seemed a curious coincidence the way b the prizes were won. Mrs. J. W.

A gay surprise party visited Miss Gus sie Knapp on Monday evening at her home in Meaderville, an old-fashioned surprise with no particular motive in view but a good time. The crowd met at the home of Miss Hope Earnest on East Park street and proceeded via the cars to the Knapp home. While totally unexpected all were made heartily welcome. Several of the sur prisers took with them guitars, banjos and mandolins, so that some most ac ceptable musical selections were given, afterwards the players taking turns in furnishing two-steps and waltzes for the others to dance by. The impromptu danc ing was enjoyed. Games were also played, travel and guessing games principally. Then at a late hour the good things to eat were taken from the baskets and hugh pots of hot coffee added, the dining room pre senting a lively scene.

It was a memorable day for Charles M. Dickson yesterday, for he not only reached his majority in time to vote at lightful party in the evening by his par ents and sisters. He was inveigled away I from home to visit friends in the after noon, and kept there by a clever pretext. In his absence the parlor was charm ingly decorated in red, the sitting room the next election, but was given a de in pink and the dining room in red and green. When he returned home at 8 o'clock he found a merry bevy of young folks waiting to welcome him. He was the pleased recipient of many r;,iis, one from his father of a bank book showing a substantial deposit made for him; from his mother diamond sleeve links and pin; from his Sister Mercy, a sole lea theri dress suit case, and from his Sister Rosa belle a complete set of ebony toilet at ti cles with his monogram in silver. The evening was devoted to galinie, mu sic and a general happy time. At 11 all adjourned to the dining room, where the long tables awaited them. At each cor ner was a name card, bearing the sign of the Zodiac, belonging to that person. The date of birth of each one had been ascertained in advance. Each one had to explain all he or she could of their sign, and if it had in any way affected their lives as It should according to Zodi ctlcal lore. The menu was elaborate and perfectly served. The health of the son of the house was given as a toast by Miss Ennls, and the response was as appro priate as the toast. A number of toasts Swere given and responded to, Miss Ennis acting as toastmaster most acceptably. It was late before the Jolly troop disbanded. The invited guests were Mr. and Mrs, Elmer Dickson, Captain and Mrs. Gun nison Dickson, Misses Mercy, Rosabelle and Dimple Dickson, Charles M.

One of the most charming and success ful affairs of the week was the charade party given on Tuesday evening by the Y. L. I., at their hall. Mirth and jollity reigned supreme, and the charades were simply "out of sight," as many remark ed. Much of the success was due to Mrs. Ignatius Donnelly, who Is in her element when planning new and novel entertain ments, and then carrying them through to successful completion. Two fine prizes were given for the best guessers, for ladies a handsome lace handkerchief, and for gentlemen a pretty yellow silk laundry bag for soiled hankies. Among the most difficult to guess was when a girl came on the stage holding a small infant, walking up and down with anxious countenance. Then another woman came in with a lighted candl anid closely inspected the baby, holdipg the candle right in its (rag) f4ce. The an swer to this was "Light ifl.antry.' "Incumbent" was carried out by a bevy of girls, wtio came in all bent over, in c.un-tbent. Another was seven girls right after this one, all very erect. This was ":e;ven Urp." Htennessy's firm was repre 4 atle I in Iwo acts. .First an old woman telling about hqe setting hen-Henn. The second showed.4 girl with defective eye sight c .~niq'rg rwith an oculist and'ex clainlingt "I see."--Henn-I-see. Lutey's wa;s r1'pre.ielnte(d by a girl who was called Lou, and in the second scene by a tea drinking s: one-Lou-ta. "Iter tss" was another good one. A s.i' o(ily drylssed young lady came on the stage eand it .oon ceveloped from her nmnthor'. cllhid!i~;s that the was about to wed Count IHeinrze. Finally, she was ashamed uanl left the stage, returning redressed in gorg,.ola up-to-date garb. And so the evening passed quickly, guessing the chtarabd', until all were guessed andl the prizes won. Then danc ing was; c('olnurlotl ed and enjoyed. The parties1 of the Y. L. I. are all en joyable, and on the 11th they will bid farewell to the mundane pleasures with a basket social, which will be about the best tidlng they have yet given. A Schlitz Schnapps Party. An enjoyable party was given on Wed nesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Louis 'Webber at their home on the Wall'rvllle road. The evening was devoted to music, zither and guitar and p:ano selections. Herr Erroll Sohmitt of San Francisco gave several selections from Heinle and Goethe in fine style, and Miss Metta Schmidt also recited, singing and recit ing all being In the German tongue. AL a late hour a bountiful supper was served, consisting of- welner wursts, sauerkrout amnd many other German del icacies. The collection of handsome steins, owned by the host, and hostess, were also of excellent service. It was long after midnight when the health of
