THE BUTTE MINER, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1924. ## Column 1 # BRILLIANT CHURCH WEDDING One of the most brilliant nuptial events of the winter season occurring in New York city and of especial interest to all Montana was the elaborate wedding yesterday afternoon in St. Thomas' church at 4 o'colck [sic], when Miss Katherine Morris, the beautiful and charming daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Rutherford Morris of New York city and granddaughter of Senator W. A. Clark, was given in marriage to Mr. John Hudson Hall, Jr., of Boston. The wedding in all the marvelous beauty of exquisite appointments will go down in the social world as one of the winter season's most prominent nuptial events. Miss Morris wore a gown of soft cream white satin and lace. The lace was most handsome and was worn on her mother's wedding gown. In the modish creation with a long court train and enveloped in the dainty wedding veil held in place with orange blossoms, the bride was a picture of rare girlish beauty. Mrs. Rodney Williams, the bride's cousin, was maid of honor. She wore an exquisite gown of soft lavender taffeta shaded to silver. The bridesmaids were Miss Huguette Clark, Miss Mary Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Clark, Miss Dorothy Clemens, Miss Clara Workum, Miss Isabella Wood and Miss Gertrude Ogden, all of New York and classmates of the bride at Miss Spence's school in New York. They were gowned in pink taffeta shading to silver and their hats were of acorn brown tulle. Mrs. Morris wore an elegant gown of soft grey satin and georgette, embroidered with steel beads and hat to match of grey tulee. Mr. Hall's best man was Mr. Henry Hall, Jr., of Boston, a classmate at Harvard. His other attendants were Mr. W. A. Clark III. of Los Angeles, Mr. John Thacher of New York city, Mr. Josiah Pierce of New York city, Mr. Van Duzer Burton of Philadelphia, Mr. Philip Miller of New York city, Mr. Russell Codman, Jr., of Boston and Mr. William Varker of Philadelphia. The ring service of the Episcopal service was read by Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Stires, rector of St. Thomas, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Nelson, the presiding bishop of the diocese of Albany, and the Rev. Dr. Percy Silver of New York. The inspiring nuptial music blending with the service was under the direction of Mr. Noble, the organist of St. Thomas. A full choir added to the solemnity of the beautiful service. The reception at the palatial home of Senator and Mrs. W. A. Clark followed the wedding service at half after four. In the receiving line were Senator and Mrs. William Andrews Clark and Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Rutherford Morris. x x x ### Spring Colors. True harbingers of spring are to be found in ribbon show cases, where the advance season's colors are displayed and the regular ones are flaunting their new names. Any color that pretends to be in the fashionable clique demands a new title every season, something interesting and completely different. A Polynesian brown turns over night into Terrapin, and a zinnia orange is now listed as Tokyo on the color card. The natural kingdoms are well represented in the animals, vegetables and minerals listed on the card as spring color designations, from blackest blue to tenderest pink. Ancient royal personages are also honored in having their names bestowed upon various brews from the dyer's pots, and even political excitements, provided they are in far away spots with romantic sounding names, influence the labels of tempestuous reds, adobe rose-browns, and bland greens. There is a Cleopatria blue, deep and brilliant, a soft and alluring lavender named Eugenia, a Kara blue-green and a Toltec peach shaded tan. One of the most edible of the new colors is the grapefruit green, with precisely the shimmering coolness of America's favorite breakfast fruit. This is effectively used in some of the early exclusive hats with grosgrain ribbon in overlapping flat loops for the narrow sloping brim. Fern green in narrow moire ribbons is being chosen for ties and sashes on silk and flannel frocks for Palm Beach. x x x ### From Roundup. Mrs. E. J. Mitchell entertained her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Davies, with Miss Ottie and Miss Gertrude Evans, cousins, from Roundup, Mont., during the holidays. Included at the Christmas dinner were Miss Cosette Lamb, and the house guests. Mrs. Davies and the Misses Evans remained in Butte to take in the attractions on at the Broadway. x x x ### New Year Party. Judge and Mrs. A. H. Wilkinson, 1106 Utah avenue, entertained at an elaborate dinner on New Year's day at their charming home. The table was lovely in its flaming holiday blossoms of deep red carnations, mingled wit [sic] rich greens of Christmas. The handpainted place cards and cap favors added to the picturesque beauty of the festive board. Following the dinner small tables were placed for cards, which became the evening's diversion for the invited guests and at a late hour dancing gave the final finish to a most delightful party. The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wilkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wilkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Cumming, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sour, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Oliver, and Ray Chapman, Douglas Lewis, Harriet Lewis, Bob Cumming, Lois Wilkinson, Richard Wilkinson, Tom Wilkinson and Albert Wilkinson. x x x ### Watch Party. Miss Martin Hugo assisted by her mother, Mrs. F. Hugo, gave a delightful party on New Year's eve at their home, 1000 South Dakota street. The evening was entertainingly spent in a succession of songs, recitations and with a program of dances. Included in the guest list were a number of talented youn gpeople who wer urged to be the merry entertainers to a very appreciative company. Late in the evening a delicious luncheon was served at a table of perfect appointments. At the table covers were placed for Miss Cyrilla McMahon, Miss Lillian Wilson, Miss [Aileen?] Griffin and Miss Martha Hugo, Messrs Tom Walsh, James McNamara, Ed Nolland, James Griffin, Paul Byrnes, Percy Weingartiner, Emmet McCormick and Stewart McCormick, with the hostesses. x x x ### Pre-Nuptial Event. Miss Ruth McGlynn was the delightful inspiration for a pre-nuptial shower on Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. K. Holland with the daughter, Mrs. William P. Sullivan as hostess. The evening was spent in singing and dancing. At a late hour the guests were invited to the long table where white and pink carnations gave fragrant evidence of the color scheme. ## Column 2 [illustration: studio photograph of a group of children; spans columns 2-4] —Photo by Thomson, Gibson Studio. **CHILDREN OF MR.

After an hour spent in playing with the toys and games that Santa had left, the guests were served with dainty refreshments. Those present were June Kearney, Jean Venus, Merwin Shaeffer, Jack T. Evans, Richard Murtha and Bob Ross. x x x ### To Seattle. All through the past week affairs have been given for Mrs. Dwight Grimes, who left for her future home in Seattle on Friday evening, accompanied by her small son, Philo. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Grimes have been mingling in the social life of Butte and it is with keen regret that their legion of friends bid them adieu. At the same time the farewell is spoken with best wishes for prosperity in the Sound city. Thursday afternoon a very lovely luncheon compliment was extended to Mrs. Grimes at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lindley. The luncheon was at 1:30. The color scheme of yellow and white was artistically carried out in masses of lovely yellow marigolds that were confined in a dainty flower basket with large white drooping lilies forming a centerpiece for the table of perfect appointments. Candles of yellow in yellow holders tied with pale ## Column 4 yellow tulle bows added to the beauty of the table and the place cards were tiny cards used as holders for very tiny yellow candles. An elaborate course luncheon was served to nine ladies and later hours of the afternoon were devoted to Mah Jong and to bridge. The guest roster included Mrs. Dwight Grimes, the honor guest; Mrs. Walter Hanson, Mrs. Will Brazier, Mrs. W. E. Rex, Mrs. J. L. Dickinson, Mrs. John Degnan, Mrs. Will O'Brien, Mrs. C. E. Woolfolk. During the afternoon Mrs. Grimes was presented with a handsome gold vanity case as a token of friendship from the ladies present. x x x ### Farewell Party. Friday afternoon Mrs. John Eminger entertained informally for Mrs. Dwight Grimes. There were 25 ladies present to enjoy theafternoon [sic] in happy conversation and at 5 o'clock a dainty lunch was served the guests. During the hours the honor guest was presented with a pretty gift from the ladies present. x x x ### Choir Entertained. A delightful time was spent Wednesday evening when Mr. Thomas Scadden, assisted by Mrs. Meager, entertained the Trinity Methodist choir of Centerville, at his beautiful homo [sic] on East Center street. Christmas holly formed the decorations. The evening was spent in singing, instrumental music and conversation. Delicious refreshments were served. Just before the choir left the home Mr. Scadden and T. J. Bennetts presented the choir with a substantial check. This is an annual custom of these two gentlemen and is greatly appreciated by the choir and its efficient director W. H. Johns. x x x ### Luncheon Tuesday. Attractive was the one o'clock luncheon given by Mrs. F. M. Sloane, 920 West Platinum street, on Tuesday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Dwight Grimes. The table was lovely in its rich appointments with yellow "mums" used as the graceful motif. There were covers for ten. x x x ### Drama Study Club. The Drama Study club met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. A. J. Davis, Jr. Mrs. F. L. Fisher had charge of the program and reviewed "Far From the Maddening Crowd," by Thomas Hardy. The club will meet on Tuesday, January 15, at the home of Mrs. J. E. Woodard, 1201 West Platinum street. The first two acts of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" will be read and discussed, with Mrs. Henry Hopkins the leader. x x x ### Silver Bow League. The Silver Bow League of Women Voters, at its meeting on Tuesday evening, decided to accept the program prepared by the committee. It was decided to postpone the election of two delegates and two alternates for the Great Falls convention until Tuesday evening. Two state officers are members of the local league and the two additional delegates will give Butte four representatives at the state convention, January 18 and 19. Following is the program of the league for the next three months: Education; Political Parties in a Republic; City Council in Session; Child Labor; Registration Week; Women in Industry; District Court in Session; Debate on Consolidation of City and County Governments; Child Welfare; Universal Peace; Democracy, in three divisions: Industrial, Social and Political Economy; Public Entertainment. x x x ### Skiing Party. One of the scheduled parties for this week is to be a skiing affair, providing the weatherman cooperates with the young folks who are making plans for this joyous sport. One during the holidays took place in Thompson park and as it was decidedly cold, the snow was in prime condition, so this is to be a repetition of the sport that colors the cheeks and gives a sparkle to the eyes that is the envy of all beauty specialists. ## Column 5 [advertisement, boxed; spans columns 5-7] # Exceptional Fur Values A DISTINGUISHED display of wraps in finest skins for quick disposal at ridiculously low prices.

Bruce in N. Y. Commercial. As broad as the horizon, or as the individual can make it— that is the outlook for women in banking. The day of arguing the pros and cons of women in this or any other department of business life is past. As a matter of fact, it is somewhat hard to understand just why such a day need ever have been, for the whole course of events where women are concerned is so simple, so natural and so inevitable an evolutionary process that it is no more an occasion for surprise that is the passing of a human being from childhood to adult life. What most people do not realize— and in that group I would include a great many of the women themselves —is that the women of today are not doing anything so very different, considered in a large way, from what their mothers and grandmothers did. We have always heard a great deal about our forefathers. It seems to me that if equal emphasis and understanding were turned upon the deeds of our foremothers, there would be a clearer realization on the part of both men and women of the close relationship between the position of the women of yesterday and the women of today. It is the lack of just such a realization that has pleced [sic] the question mark after women in business in the minds of so many men, and as a result of the same lack it may be said that it is doubtful of women as a whole appreciate how much of their present-day success is a direct heritage from these same foremothers. Our backward glances are too apt to be pitying and camplacent [sic] rather than grateful. We are too prone to congratulate ourselves upon the ground we have covered in the last quarter century, thinking how far ahead we are of those who went before us while the fact is that we have been able to make that distance because of the impetus received from the past. ### Stauts [sic] Is Now Professional. Broadly speaking, the essential difference between what women are doing today and what their mothers did before them is that they have placed on a professional basis, and enlarged and develoued [sic], the same sort of responsibilities that women formerly [advertisement, boxed:] # Don't Spoil Your Child's Hair By Washing It When you wash children's hair be careful what you use. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It is inexpensive and beats anything else all to pieces. Two or three teaspoonfuls is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to manage. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any drug store, and a few ounces will last for months.—Adv. ## Column 6 took over, as volunteers, in addition to their home duties as a helpful service either to individuals or to their community. Probably the most striking illustration of this is to be found in the various forms of public and social work. Public health centers, settlement houses, playgrounds, recreation work and the like are all merely the outgrowths, put on a business basis and highly developed of enterprises whose beginnings date many years back to the active work of women of the home, who were thinking not in terms of the "emancipation of women," but the need of those whose lives touched theirs. Looking at it from another agnle [sic], the processes which men have taken into the field outside the home have of necessity taken women after them. When the things which made up what was known as "women's work" were done in the home, women had to be there. But as more and more of the household tasks have been turned over to machinery—the inventions of men—with the accompanying tendency to have them transferred to various central plants, the whole face of the situation has changed. And whereas girls were formerly trained by their mothers in the conduct of a household, been taken out of it and regulated to even education for the home has now schools offering courses in domestic science, household management and kindred subjects To narrow the whole matter down to the field of banking, there is a very particular service which women can bring to this line of endeavor. For woman's whole tradition is sureness of instinct and keenness in judging human nature. In banking, which is an essentially personal service, these native qualities of women are prime requisites. Moreover, in a very real way, the management of affairs in a bank requires the kind of ability which is necessary to good housekeeping. ### Purpose of Woman's Departments. The woman's department of a financial institution supplies a two-fold need. It serves, in the first place, an educational purpose by affording a little more leisurely procedure and a little greater help to the individual who is not as yet sufficiently familiar with finance to be able to handle her money matters with facility. I think that as women win confidence and knowledge they will probably not bring their banking problems as a whole to the woman's department, but will know how to seek out the particular person in the bank who can best help them with their specific phase of a given problem. Then, too, aside from its educational acpect [sic] there will always be a place for a woman's department in giving women a place in the bank to transact their business which more nearly approximates the environment they are used to. And a department of that type, in my opinion, will enhance and temper the atmosphere of the whole financial organization. The widest field for women in banking at the present tiime [sic] is probably taht [sic] offered by savings banks, because dealing as they do with people of more moderate means who have less experience in handling money, the contacts they must establish with their clients are almost entirely of the peculiarly personal kind. It is the savings bank also that through the women on its staff renders invaluable service in the matter of training in budgeting. Savings ## Column 7 [the fur advertisement "Exceptional Fur Values" occupies the top of this column; see column 5] and home economics are closely bound up together and the logical person to handle the relation between the two is a woman. ### Fashioned of Ribbons. Evening corsages of cosmos flowers are fashioned from Cosmos velvet ribbon, that delicate pink orchid shade, astonishingly natural looking in their lovely, single petal simplicity. There is a black velvet ribbon inlaid on hte [sic] satin reverse side with stripes of crapapple red, which makes handsome hat bands and streamers, and girdle bows. Fleur-de-lys velvet ribbon, with one side fringed, is the trimming on a smart new overblouse. For lingerie bows and rosettes, the favorites are Cameo pink, Narcissus, Dryad green and Tuileries blue. Among the grosgrain ribbon bands destined to be buckled around fashionable small felt and straw hats for spring, Cowboy brown is a leading color, with its lighter companion shades, Lariat and Sombrero. Other interesting and musical names in the dazzling collection of ribbons to grace the feminine spring wardrobe in all its changes from morning until night are Yu Chi green, Navaho orange, Louis Phillipe blue, Pablo tan, Inca gold, Cinder gray, Colisonne blue, Daphne blue, Mexico clay and Yucatan brown. Among the small black hats for day wear there is a penchant for a streamer that resolves itself into a scarf to wind around the neck and swing well below the waist. A very smart streamer is of black satin faced velvet ribbon, the satin side inlaid with Navaho orange stripes. x x x Considerable pride is being evinced in Bendigo (Victoria), states Trade Commissioner J. W. Sanger, where the first sewing machine ever completed in Australia is being exhibited. All the parts except the needle and the shuttle were made locally, and the Cording Machinery & Manufacturing company claims that with the latest machinery which has been installed, it will be in a position to meet local demands and later extend its market to other section of Australia.
