Show H j !' Society Sauntering. . J You never can tell from where you sit just I where the gasolene buggy is going to get stuck, ' which explains why Tom Schumacher gave one j 1 of the most delightful surprise parties of the j I season on Wednesday night. It was a great nov- ! j elty in a way, and on a par with many original affairs for which that good fellow has been ; The start was made from this city in Tom's j j new machine with the J. E. Bambergers and Mrs. j ' ; A. E. Walker as his guests. Everything bumped j ! along in nice shape until the party struck one of ' ' those pleasant dips in the road about three miles j ,,j northeast of Murray. Here they ran into a per- i perpetual swamp made by the honest farmer's ir- l ! rigation canal, and then kerchug ! j ; After much effort the ladies were saved from a i j watery grave, and then the men began to work, j i l l Passing farmers were not allowed to pass, and 'I t I they also began to work, but to no avail, and a ! 1 bank of despair through which the moonlight had j i !

Beside him sat the railroad vet- j eran Van Hausen, and as soon as they saw trouble . I the two jumped to the rescue. But it was a long ! hard pull. Finally a rope was doubled on the f i axles, and with Tom at the throttle, the rest of i the stranded crew grabbed the rope. One, two, ! i 1 three zing!

But they were philosophers, and seeing ! j their clothes ruined, didn't care what happened, and by main force dragged the machine from its j ; ' moorings. Then it wouldn't go. Fine for Clifford. 1 The ladies were placed in his machine, and a race for the last car at Murray started under hi- f '! larious auspices. They made the car; Brother i; Pearsall loaded his auto with the stuff that made ! Milwaukee, a point of interest, and then he i i 'phoned the garage in town, catching Whitely just as he was going in. It didn't take long for that ' '! i young man to get to Murray, and then the two 1 went to the wreck, i Of course the refreshments were of first con- I sideration, and the way the wilted workers sat j by the roadside and sang paeans to the man who ! ! 3 invented the brew was beautiful to look upon.

One of the best natured parties of the Fourth was that he gave in his new car, though I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a bunch in a machine that can go so fast (the machine) should want to waste time at such punk rates. In honor of Miss Martha Green and Miss Jane Lewis of Geo'getown, Ky., the Adrian Ellises entertained at a delightful dancing party at the Country club on Thursday evening, about a hundred hun-dred guests being present. The club is an ideal spot for a summer fete, and the grounds and verandas with a myriad of lights were extremely beautiful. The young ladies for whom the event was given are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, and typical southern girls with all the vivacity and sparkle that that implies. The Lou Terrys will entertain at the lake in their honor this evening. Miss Elizabeth Cosgriff will be hostess at the Country club this afternoon, and besides there will be tennis and clock golf. The Butte golfers will be with us soon, and if they are to be entertained in the style which is most homelike to them, it is up to some of the members to take a brief rest in the country before they get here. And my, my, wont the tabbies have the hot air valves working after the party? But then the tabbies needn't stay for the party, for there's no getting away from the fact that when a Butte man is in Rome, he does as they do in Butte. 5 The largest event scheduled for the coming week is the lawn party to be given by the William Wil-liam H. Kings at the Country club on Monday evening in honor of Mrs. William Hoffman and Dr. and Mrs. E. G. Gowans. Several hundred invitations in-vitations have been issued, and the club will be the center of attraction for that night. tC Cards have been received by the friends of Mr. William B. Mucklow in this city, announcing announc-ing his marriage to Miss Frances H. Freer at Watkins, N. Y. 1$ i$ i$ There is a mighty roar ascending on account of the carelessness with which some club members scatter cards of their favorite clubs to any old visitor in town who asks for one, and how such privileges can be abused was best demonstrated by the flamingoes who took possession of a certain place during the week. They looked like a pair of strawberry sundaes, and made themselves heard in other ways, not pleasant to the members of a men's club. Everything was taken as a matter mat-ter of course by these two women, and nobody else had any rights. The dining room was their A principal point of vantage, where they ogled and prattled, but their endeavors were by no means confined to any one part of the club. I As one member remarked, "It wouldn't have mattered' so much if they had been professional sports, for then they would have at least behaved themselves." & & Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Keyes entertained at dinner last evening in honor of Mrs. W. V. Eberley. rC The younger set had the finest kind of a time at the home of the Ned Ferrys on the night of the Fourth. The event was in honor of Miss Elizabeth Eliza-beth Baker, the charming guest at the Ferry home. The evening was made joyous with beautiful beau-tiful fireworks, and later a dance in the spacious rooms continued the fun. The lawn and veranda were attractively decorated with flags and lanterns, lan-terns, and the prettiest bunch of "buds" that have bloomed in this town for many days. 1$ t$ ? Mrs. Thomas Marioneaux was hostess at a beautiful luncheon on Wednesday which was given for Mrs. John Reed of Denver. Covers were laid for fifteen. Misses Georgia and Florence Hartley entertained enter-tained delightfully at cards on Wednesday afternoon. after-noon. The affair was in honor of Mrs. Clotfelter of Los Angeles, and about thirty ladies enjoyed the event. Mrs. William P. Cooper was the hostess at an informal affair on Thursday afternoon in compliment compli-ment of Mrs. Richardson of Wilmington, Del. The game was "500," and sixteen ladies enjoyed the delightful event. An interesting announcement of the week was that of the engagement of Miss KatherineDwyer and Louis W. Critchlow. I Many have left the city for the Portland ex- r position the past week. Among those who departed de-parted were: Mrs. Julia Kimball, Mrs. George P. Holman, Mrs. Russell Woodruff, Mrs. M. H. Kriebel, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Officer and Dr. and Mrs. "lummer. Mrs. George M. Downey will entertain at iuncheon next Tuesday in honor "of Miss Salisbury. Salis-bury. The largest affair of yesterday was the "500" party given by Mrs. S. D. Evans in honor of Mrs. John Reed and Mrs. Richardson. An elaborate luncheon followed. ty5 Miss Williams carried off the cup given by McPherson Boyd for ladies' singles at the Country Coun-try club on Tuesday. Her work is showing steady improvement, some of her opponents having a handicap as high as thirty. Hugh Satterlee is here for the summer, and is at the University club. Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Rogers and family have gone to California and will spend the summer at the different watering places. Later in the season they will settle permanently in that state, which is a matter of deep regret to their many friends in this city. i$ Mrs. Dormer, the mother of J. E. Dormer, and her daughter are here to spend several weeks. & & & The excellent tennis of the Roberts brothers has brought them more honors the past week, and better bet-ter tennis is seldom seen on the local courts than in the exciting contests in which they outplayed the other picked teams. Miss Edna Cohn entertains at luncheon .today in honor of Miss Katherine Dwyer. 1 |
