C. H. Head, T. B. Miller.

Mrs. G. XV. Lanstrum and Mrs. Al Smith, all of Helena, came up for discussion.

These charming: Helena ladies showed skill and science In their playing and each was accorded a genuine welcome at this beautiful affair. The luncheon table was one floral mass of pale pink and light lavender sweet peas, arranged exquisitely. A low basket centered the table filled with them and at each cover was a graceful corsage tied with gauze ribbon in the same tones. The entire arrangement was surmounted with great fluffy tows of wide gauxe ribbon in the dominating color tones. Covers were laid for 18 and such a merry coterie as gathered about that table! The menu was one of the most delicious ever served at a luncheon there and the table was laid in the private dining room.

Then afterwards automobiles conveyed the guests down to the country club, where the links and grounds about the club-bouse presented the most animated appearance. The golf course seemed actually alive with players and their attire stood out in pretty contrast. There were many in white, others In green sport suits, in cerise, in mustard color, in every conceivable shade and style, but every one striking and stylish. Surely the popular place never looked more alive and animated than it did upon this occasion. The dance held there the same evening waa one of note and everyone fcad the jolliest time imaginable.

The rauslo was excellent, all the dancers were handsomely gowned and the spirit of Informality and good cheer held full sway. The subject of men came up and one lady made the remark that she farticularly admired men because of heir broadness of nature and when she chose a friend for wear and forever, she always chose a man because she could depend upon him, and, as she asserted, few women are dependable. This statement caused a furore among some of those present. One lady made the remark that men are no kinder in their attitude towards Another Big Event Quality and Price at Greens Opens Tomorrow served. The rooms were gorgeous in' white roses and m.iidenhair fern, and about the rooms the same beautiful blossoms were displayed effectively.

Prominent among the pretty events of the social week was the "kitchen shower" given by Miss Helen Lew to Miss Eva Anderson, who 1h to be a bride of early September.

It was an event of Wednesday and the occasion brought together a number of the the woman who has made a mistake COATS, SETS AND PIECES In a Startling Pre-Season Sale at The new shapes in the furs of this sale readily e-veal the fine quality there is in them. If you intend wearing new furs this season, it will pay you liberally to buy them at Greens this week. .1 than the average woman. She said: "For a steady, good, all-round friend, who will never betray my confidence, give me a substantial woman. She understands women and she knows what they have to meet in life.

No, sir; gi'e me a woman for a friend in need, but give me a man for amusement One cannot get along without men friends, to talk to, to dance with, to fritter an hour or so away with, but there are so few gentlemen of the old school left that we must not expect the gallantry that existed before suffrage and the hurry and rush to take our places side by side with men and the effort to be their equals in every particular became dominent in the life of the modern woman." This was followed by the reading of the "Reflections of a Bachelor Girl" by that pungent feature writer. Helen Rowland, which was as follows: Alas, a woman never knows her own mind and a man never knows his own heart! Taking the conceit out of a man Is almost as cruel as telling a small boy that there is no Santa Claus. "Reforming" wouldn't be such a painful thing in a husband If he wouldn't always Insist on beginning to give everybody good advice the moment he stops setting a bad example. It Is the tantalising vision of those little breakfast table tete-a-tetes that lures most men into matrimony and the tantalising reality -of those same little tete-a-tetes that drives so many of them out of it into the divorce oourt. Make an idol of a man and he'll tolerate you; make a chum of him and he'll like you; make a baby of him and he'll propose to you; make a fool Of him and he'll adore you.

There is nothing about which every loan is so optimistic as his ability to annihilate space and get anywhere on earth in "ten minutes." A man is constantly deceiving himself most of all when he fancies that he is deceiving a woman. She can patch him In 56 varieties of fibs and he will still confidently believe that he can make her swallow the 67th. A truly brilliant woman is one who Is brilliant enough to outshine a man at repartee, and wise enough not to. "Bellcacy" Is a word which some people seem to think applies only to something to eat. It was remarked that there would be fewer sewing clubs this coming Winter than formerly, as evervone would continue to sew for the Red Cross and for the Patriotic association.

Perhaps these clubs will hold one meeting every week and maybe two or three times each week there will be meetings to chronicle, but they will be for a purpose for the soldiers and hospitals.
