14 THE BUTTE MINER, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1908. # SOCIETY [spans columns 1-3] [illustration: decorated banner lettering "Society" with a woman's head at right; artist's signature illegible] ## Column 1 They cleave the country lanes apace and vanish in the blue, Palatial crimson touring cars all glistening and new. Then who would hazard life and limb when shying horses balk? 'Tis plain that people motorless, who dare not drive, must walk. Oh, country lanes are cool and sweet, and wayside daisies dear; Each nodding blossom seems to say, "I'm glad to see you here!" I know a lisping baby brook that, dimpling, slips along, Demurely crooning to itself a lullaby of song. I fare afoot and unafraid, and sooth I only smile To see those autos tearing off the landscape, mile by mile— If I could buy a motor-car I'd have one, that is clear; I'm rather glad I like to walk, and motor-cars are dear! —GRACE STONE FIELD. Society enjoys motoring during this golden autumn weather and very little attention has been given to entertaining during the past week or two. "Motoring seems to take the place of cards," remarked an unthinking individual the other day. Now perhaps the millionaires' automobiles have taken the place of cards, but it hardly seems probable, when one automobile could buy enough cards to fill one of our neighboring canyons. However, if one is fortunate enough to own a palatial motoring car, he or she can hardly be criticized for preferring a ride over the flat, through the canyons and over the mountain roads to a sober and stale game of cards. As this week will furnish the annual Halloween festival, there will doubtless be scores of parties in celebration of the day. The small boy will be out in all his glory, with soap and tar to embellish the windows in the city and to mutilate as many clotheslines as he can, but this particular holiday belongs to the small boy and those who wish to retain their clotheslines would better take time by the forelock and put them snugly away in one corner of the cellar. All sorts of uncanny noises are expected this week and only the cranky individual will complain if the little fellows throw corn and potatoes at his doors and make the evening hideous with tick-tacks and other nerve-racking devices, but it all goes this week and must be accepted. ### A Halloween Frolic. Clever invitations were sent to our club of women by the committee appointed to arrange our Halloween frolic. Besides the witch on her broom, a star and two jack-o'-lanterns adorned the card and we were informed that the "witch of Halloween has decided to stop over one night and would be delighted to meet all the members of the ——— at the clubrooms on the evening of Oct. 31. (Members may bring their husbands.)" After the regular meeting was over the ladies left the room and donned sheets and pillowcases having holes cut for eyes and nose. One dressed as a witch with black gown, shawl, gloves, glasses and a conical hat. Each ghost was given two wooden plates and tincups and a lighted candle. The room was darkened and with slow music the ghost march began, led by the witch carrying a broom. They marched in slingle file around the room and without a word selected a partner from the men sitting in the dark, handed him the plates and cups to carry and continued the march. When all had partners the witch led the procession to the supper room. Down the center of the long bare table was a narrow board with holes bored at regular intervals, in which the ghosts placed their candles. These and twenty or more jack-o'-lanterns distributed around the room furnished the light and the table was decorated with wooden bowls of apples. When all were seated the witch gave each gentleman three guesses as to the identity of his partner. If correct she unmasked and he received a prize; if not, she retained her head covering until all had guessed. The prizes were small Halloween novelties. Pumpkin pie, doughnuts and sweet cider were passed. After supper the witch went into her domain arranged in a corner [spans columns 1-2] Jaccard's—"America's Great Diamond House"—Established in 1829 WILL SEND YOU A SELECTION OF FINE # Diamonds on Approval You will receive a superb assortment selected with great care from our Million-Dollar stock of high-grade Diamond mounted Jewelry.

[spans columns 1-2] # The Factory Is the Place to Buy Furs ATTRACTIVE VALUES IN Natural Mink, Black Lynx Scarfs and Muffs And in All Fashionable Up-to-Date FURS RAUH & RICHTER The Old Reliable Fur House Established 1892. Reorganized 1900. Independent Phone 2248. 206 North Main Street, Butte, Mont. [illustration: woman in a fur jacket and plumed hat] ## Column 2 with black cloth, brooms, pack-o'-lanterns, a pale new moon of cardboard and a huge spider web woven of cord half way across the front. A large brown crepe paper spider completed the spider web. Here she told each single man present the name of his future wife by asking him all sorts of irrelevant questions, after which she consulted the moon and wrote his own name preceded by "Mrs." and placed it in an envelope, which she sealed and handed to him. A fortune ball was also made by tying written fortunes (pink for men and white for ladies) in a large crepe paper ball and suspended from the ceiling. It was set in motion and each, in turn, was blindfolded and given three chances to strike and tear it open with a sharp stick. When one succeeded in liberating the fortunes all scrambled to pick up a fortune for each. This caused much merriment and after the time-honored test of blowing out 12 candles all departed for their homes, well pleased with their Halloween frolic. A clever witch is necessary, as upon her originality and leadership depends the success of the party.—Mrs. William W. Sanderson, in The Housekeeper. ### Hallowe'en Decorations. A nut decoration is always effective for a Halloween party and a "nut tree" is very pretty for a centerpiece. Take a sturdy potted plant of any kind or a small evergreen tree or branch of one and cover nuts with silver and gold paint and hang by means of baby ribbon on the tree. Within the nuts have little slips of paper on which must be written some prophecy or fortune for the guests. Fill cocoanut shells with bonbons or shelled nuts and tie yellow ribbon on the cocoanut shells. Another is to suspend from the chandelier a leafless branch and hang upon it some black paper bats and funny old owls. The leafless branch can be rubbed with phosphorus and hung heavily with gilded walnuts, producing a very pretty effect. Witches, black cats, little kettles, half moons and jack-o'-lanterns are all used in decorations and as favors. Of course, red apples are always in evidence. The old trick of going down cellar backwards with a lighted lamp and holding a mirror usually discloses the face of the future husband or wife. Anyway, it would be a very queer sort of a man that would not be on hand down cellar if he knew that the maid, the lamp and the mirror were on their way down. Another Halloween trick is to fill the mouth with water and go around the block, and the first man one meets and has to speak to will be the future husband. ### Notice to Contributors. It is to be regretted that each week a number of society items reach this paper too late to be run on the regular society page, but are held over until Monday morning. Contributors will kindly send all items intended for this page into the office before Friday night at 10:00 o'clock. Contributions are thankfully received, and the society editor is always happy to publish anything of a social nature if sent in time. ### Informal Tea for Mrs. Pray. Mrs. O. Hight added a dainty and artistic tea to the social events of the week, extending delightful hospitality to a few of her friends, whom she invited to meet Mrs. Charles N. Pray, wife of Representative Pray, the affair being an event of Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Hight's guests had the pleasure of viewing some of her rarely beautiful paintings, her own work, which she did during the last summer while at Lake MacDonald. These splendidly executed paintings were so greatly admired by various art critics and lovers of landscape paintings that many were claimed before she came home from her summer's outing. A number of these works of art will adorn homes in New York city and other eastern places, as true merit was recognized at once in them, and again Montana can claim a rarely gifted artist with the brush. Present were Mrs. Pray, Mrs. J. H. Vivian, Mrs. John H. Gillie, Mrs. J. S. Hammond, Mrs. J. C. Febles, Mrs. Fred Drake, Mrs. G. H. Kesselhuth, Mrs. ## Column 3 E. B. Weirick, Mrs. C. T. Shearer, Mrs. C. M. Smith, Mrs. J. R. Wharton, Mrs. Alex. Devine and Mrs. L. A. King. ### The Crystal Slipper. What promises to be a brilliant society event is the "Crystal Slipper," a musical extravaganza, with 700 in the cast, to be given at the Broadway theater Nov. 10, 11 and 12, with a special matinee. The week following a "Terpsichorean Melange" will be given[.?] Hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys are now rehearsing for these entertainments at the Woman's club every afternoon and evening. Much time and thought are being given to the successful presentation of the same and many of the representative ladies of the city are chaperons and patronesses. As the entertainment will be something on a much larger scale than has ever been given by amateur talent of the city, and from the fact that the affair is in charge of a master director, assisted by the very best local talent, nothing but brilliant success can be the result. ### Announcement. The initial dance of the Cotillion club will take place next Wednesday evening at the Woman's club. ### School of Mines Dance. Another delightful and successful dance was given by the School of Mines club on Friday night at the Woman's club and over one hundred and thirty couples participated in the festivities. Excellent music is always in evidence at these dances and they are growing in popularity with each dance. The absolute informality of the affairs, the genuine cordiality that everyone is greeted with make them the most popular dances given at the clubhouse. The grand march was led by Clark Johnstone and Miss Mary Henderson. ### For Mrs. Fogarty. Mrs. Jack Thomas entertained very informally, though delightfully, at a pretty little luncheon of five covers given on Tuesday at her home in Caledonia street in honor of Mrs. J. W. Fogarty of Chicago. A basket of rich autumn fruits adorned the center of the table and a perfect menu was enjoyed by Mrs. Fogarty, Mrs. W. C. Dierks, Mrs. C. V. Fulton, Mrs. T. A. H. MacPherson and the hostess. ### Mr. and Mrs. Linforth Entertain. An enjoyable evening was spent at five hundred on Tuesday by the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Linforth, who met at their beautiful little home in Waukesha avenue to enjoy an evening at cards.

Enjoying the hospitality of the host and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Gage, Mr. and Mrs. John Card, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Ober, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Milburn, Miss Linforth and Mr. Ransom Rice. ### Beautiful High Tea. Miss Ellis Rickards of Berkeley, Cal., who has been visiting in Butte since early autumn, the guest of Mrs. J. S. Dutton, was the honor guest at a daintily appointed high tea given on Wednesday by Mrs. Dutton at her home on the west side. The table was artistically adorned with great yellow and white chrysanthemums, intermingled with some foliage, which ran out over the table prettily. Stately yellow "mums" decked the parlor also. Seated were Miss Rickards, Miss Julia Rochester, Miss Mary Pillsbury, Miss Alice Lowry, Miss Edith Bickford, Miss Margaret Henningsen, Misses Leilah and Theo Russell, Miss Ella Driscoll and the hostess. ### Orpheum Party and Supper. Mr. Arthur Carson entertained last evening at the Orpheum, his guests numbering about 40. After the very fine program, supper was served at the Silver Bow club and a jolly evening followed.

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy will reside in this city. ### Her Eighty-Sixth Birthday. A happy evening was spent on last Monday at the home of Mrs. Christena Gerkin, 411 East Granite street, the occasion being a surprise party, given in honor of the eighty-sixth birthday of the hostess. The party was a complete surprise to the gentle hostess, who does not show her years at all, but is wonderfully well preserved and active in her everyday life. After congratulations had been extended a social evening followed, and late in the evening a sumptuous supper was served. Mrs. Gerkin was presented with many beautiful gifts in remembrance of her natal day, and on next Sunday she will prepare by herself a fine dinner to celebrate her birthday. Present on Monday evening were: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Ryno, Mr. and Mrs. Teamy, Mrs. Crayton and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. S. Parker. ### Miss Stanley Becomes Mrs. Vogel. A quiet wedding ceremony was solemnized on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Great Falls, uniting in matrimony Miss Irma Laura Stanley and Mr. James H. Vogel, the wedding taking place at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage, with Rev. J. A. Martin officiant. The groom was in Great Falls, where he was in attendance at the convention of the Knights of Pythias, in which he holds a high office in the Butte lodge, and is also captain of the Uniform rank. The wedding was conducted very quietly, very few of the friends of the bride and groom heing [sic] aware that it was to be an event so soon. The bride was attended by Miss Gertrude Nelson of Great Falls and the best man was Clemens Vogel of Butte, brother of the groom. After the ceremony a wedding supper was served at the hotel.

You can be one of those who PRODUCE MUSIC if you own a # PIANOLA PIANO WHY remain longer satisfied merely to hear others play the piano, when you can just as well be the player yourself? There can be no question but that the pleasure of playing is vastly greater than that of listening. If you care at all for music, then WHY NOT BE A PIANIST? The Pianola Piano will supply you with the skill. It will also supply you with a perfect instrument for handplaying. In tone, in action, in appearance, the Pianola Piano is unsurpassed. Every day you do without a Pianola Piano you are missing a pleasure which thousands of other people have spent years of their lives to gain. Pianola Pianos are genuine only when they bear the names of the Weber, the Steck, the Wheelock, or the Stuyvesant pianos. No other so-called Player-piano contains the pianola or is equpped [sic] with such vital improvements as the METROSTYLE and the THEMODIST.
