Page overview

A Sunday Society page of The Anaconda Standard for October 25, 1908, combining dense social-news columns with substantial display advertising occupying the right-hand third of the page. The left and centre columns carry the Society section's two main sub-columns, 'In Anaconda' and 'In Butte,' filled with small-type notices of weddings, club meetings, surprise parties, theatrical outings, and personal visits. The editorial tone is cheerful and formulaic, typical of a turn-of-the-century society page. The right half of the page is dominated by a large Pianola Pianos advertisement from Montana Music Co., with smaller retail ads for furs, millinery, and piano tuning filling the lower right.

Juxtapositions

  • The MURPHY-KELLY NUPTIALS notice, a modest mid-column wedding brief, sits directly adjacent to a large Pianola Pianos advertisement promoting domestic music 'for the education of your family,' creating an accidental pairing of two domestic-life ideals — marriage and the parlour piano — side by side on the same page.
  • The dense, small-type social columns recording ordinary Anaconda and Butte family life — visits, club suppers, surprise parties — are visually overwhelmed by the Pianola ad's bold display type and promotional rhetoric, reflecting the growing commercial pressure on editorial space in 1908 Sunday editions.

[10?] THE ANACONDA STANDARD: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1908. [illustration spanning columns 1-3: a woman in a wide-brimmed hat and a long striped coat, with a garland of flowers, drawn beside the title] # Society ## Column 1 ### *In Anaconda.* A large audience was present at the vaudeville performance at the Margaret theater on last Monday evening. This performance was given under the auspices of the ladies of St. Mark's Episcopal church and was one of the events of the week that attracted much attention. More than 100 young ladies and gentlemen assisted in the performance and it was the universal opinion that in every way the vaudeville was quite the best amateur performance that has been given in the city for years. The marriage of Miss Carol Catlin and E. E. Pickell was solemnized Monday morning at 6:45 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. L. Craig of St. Mark's church. Only the immediate family of the bride was present. After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served. After a short wedding tour to Hamilton, the young people will be at home at the Montana hotel after Nov. 10. Miss Dollie Hoagland arrived home on Thursday evening from a three months' visit in Washington. She visited for a time with her brother in Walla Walla, and also with James Mallory in Spokane. She had a splendid time visiting the great Spokane fair. Mrs. R. T. Williams and son have returned home from Portland, Ore., where they have been visiting relatives during the summer. Miss Lillian Boyd of Billings is spending a few days in Anaconda, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Charles Collins. Martin F. Kolbe has gone East on an extended vacation. Mrs. M. J.

Mrs. James Howatson and her cousin, Jay Anderson, of Belleville, Ontario, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Pyke, 508 Pine street. ### *In Butte.* The week in society was an extremely quiet one, with no large private events and with but a few club dances and church affairs to relieve the gloom. The Boston & Montana band gave its long deferred dance at the gardens, which announced the formal closing of that resort. A good sized crowd was in attendance, and, as usual, the music was fine. ### DELIGHTFULLY SURPRISED. Miss Mayme Lowney was delightfully surprised at the home of Miss Madge Murphy, 331 West Virginia street, on Sunday evening, Oct. 18. Music and games helped to pass the evening hours away, after which an elaborate supper was served.

In all, 11 games were played and there developed some surprises in the way of winners of the greatest number of games, as they were not known to be such good players.

Why not provide one for yourself that your family can enjoy with you—that will give your wife pleasure and that will exert a beneficial influence on your children? The pianola piano will do this and it is the only thing that will. In the vast repertoire of the pianola piano there is music to suit every taste, meet every requirement. In the ability to play artistically it confers on every one there is real pleasure for listener as well as performer. In the love for good music it awakens in young minds there is an advantage which will grow and influence the whole afterlife. Why not follow the example of so many prominent business men and provide a pianola piano for yourself and your family NOW? Do not fall into the error of thinking you can buy a pianola piano anywhere. The genuine pianola piano is sold in Butte only at the Montana Music Co. # Prices $550 Up to $1,050 Moderate Payments # MONTANA MUSIC CO. 119 North Main St. ## Column 5 (below the advertisement) Edgar Wild, in Madison, Wis., where he is attending the state university.

Moase and children returned yesterday from a two months' visit with Mrs. Moase's parents in Lake Benton, Minn. ### EARLY COLLAR WEARER. ### First form of neck decorations—Invention of linen collar. From the London Globe. Man's first real step forward toward civilization was the assumption of a collar. It is true that the early collar was more like a necklace and that it was made of teeth or cowrie shells, the teeth being the spoils of some enemy, such as a man of another tribe or a wild beast which it was a credit to have killed. And it is a curious thing that the neck should have been the first part of the body to be decorated. It comes before the head, with the band of grass or hide into which feathers were stuck and which evolved into the crown in one direction and into the hat in the other. It comes before the wrists on which bangles have developed into bracelets and the kindred cuffs; before the waist and long before the fingers. It was this primitive instinct for adorning the neck that led the African chieftain to reject all other forms of European raiment and to bedeck himself with the paper collar of the wandering white man. And the more important a man became the greater was the number of strings of shells or teeth that he put around his neck, until he became as swathed as Beau Brummel or the prince regent and no doubt as dignified. But then comes the curious gap in history. The ancient civilizations were not habitual collar wearers, but that was probably because they lived round about the Mediterranean, where it is too hot to wrap up the neck, and because they looked on it as a barbarous thing to do, a habit to be left to the outlandish tribes. In fact, the Babylonians, Greeks and Romans classed collars with trousers as things which no one but a barbarian would wear, and that is the real reason why our civilization is so superior to theirs. The white or linen collar is quite a modern invention. It turned up suddenly in the middle ages in the form of the ruff, which was said to have been invented to hide a scar on some royal personage's neck. It reached its height in Elizabethan times and then sank down into the lace collar of the cavalier and the starched and plain linen of the Puritan. In Georgian days the collar was merged in the stock, only to come to the front again in Byronic times, when [column continues] ## Column 6 [boxed advertisement spanning columns 6-7] 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 Established 1892 Reorganized 1900 Independent Phone 2,248 The Old Reliable Fur House 206 North Main Street, Butte, Montana [illustration: a woman in a fur jacket and a hat with a large bow, a muff held at her side] the poet wore the turned-down collar, which almost proclaimed its wearer a freethinker. Next came the Regency collar, with its folds upon folds of cravat, which was born in a modified form by old gentlemen even in the '70s, though 20 years before smart young men in London had worn a small all around collar, just like that which is known today as the "military." Then in the '60s there was a painful lapse into the Byronic collar, which for some reason or another was called the "Shakespeare," perhaps from a linen draper's idea that one poet was as good as another. For the last 30 years the all round stiff collar has reigned supreme, with little eccentricities as turned down corners and butterfly fronts, though of late it has been threatened by the double collar, variously known as the "Roddy Owen" or the "Barmaid." ### FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. From the Chicago Journal. As he entered the restaurant the cut of his clothes betrayed him as a member of the sporting fraternity. Choosing a corner seat, he ordered an oyster stew. When the dish was brought to him, he looked at it with a critical frown, and then he began exictedly [sic] to peel off his coat and vest. "What's the matter? What's the matter?" said the landlord, hurrying to the table. "Bet you a dollar I can swim from one oyster to another." ### LITTLE GIRL'S PHILOSOPHY. "Youngsters are pretty philosophical," observed Wallace Knight, and then he went ahead to set forth the point of view of a small daughter at his house. The child was sent to bed early the [column continues] ## Column 7 [advertisement] # Mme.

After she had been tucked in bed for some time and was supposedly asleep, the youngster called her father and told him she wished he would go ahead and spank her and have it over with instead of sending her off in this way. "This lying in bed never's going to make me any better," she said, "and a good spanking would. Besides, it makes me so mad I can't sleep, and so what's the use of it?"
