Social Events:
? Miss Elsie LesUe.
.
-Invitations were given to
a number of young people of
Reward to attend a dansant
party to be given at the Me
ritosh residence last Satur
day evening. And by chance
it turned out to be - one oi
those wild and wooly nights
that would be considere;
just about right for a baloor
race or some other kind o.
aerial sport that needed «
ninety five mile an hou)
wind to help them, along an
not having that tb do, home
with a co2y room, a warr
fire and a comfy chair wouli
be just fine but social duties
must be attended to first f oi
if one was not in the swin
one might as well be deac
So thought the young girl
as she donned her part,
dress and fixed up to do bat
tie witlr the storm outside
She fought her way blindk
against the wind and snow
falling in snowdrifts up tc
her knees and fighting mad
ly to get out, only to stumble
into another one.- The wind
was howling, drifting the
snow around her trying to
cover her up. Tugging and
tearing at her dress to get a
chance to tear it off with one
« « • % 1
sweep,' wmpping snow mio
her face until it pained and
twisting her - around* like a
piece of paper. Half-frozen
ind discouraged she scream
ed' her defiance only to be
answered by a stronger anc
colder blast of wind, if that
was possible; • doggedly she
fought her way, step by step,
for about fifteen blocks and
reached the McIntosh resi
dence, exhausted, half-froz
en, and the blood whipped in
to-her cheeks Ten minutes
later she looked like a sum
mer girl in some tropical cli
mate with not a thought of
what she had passed thru or
of the storm that was rag
ing outside, but * lent herself
enthusiastically to the pro
gram of her hostesses, the
Misses McIntoshs had ar
ranged. for their guests.
’Dancing, singing and games
such as ‘Ring Around Rosy’
London Bridge- is Falling
Down,” “Button, Button,”
and so forth bringing her
concluding a very merry pro
gram. Giving her and end of
;a string that she must fol
low, upstairs and down, in
side and out, through intri
cate ways, finding on the
end an .envelope containing
the name of her dinner part
ner, one she didn’t want, but
Wjnnpinghim for the fun of
thd’fhing—-or because he
was seme other girl’s fellow;
Mt'Keither case having the
thheofher faded young life
'tiHKW'Watch showed her
diewwisksay “goodnight” to
her hostess andkell her what
■« Splendid time die had
Borne in her own room she
thought it a great life if one
didn’t weaken.' Those, who
were given the snow cross of

JIM ENTERTAINS
GUESTS
Jim Dougherty, one of the
regular fellows who helped
to make Dawson famous dur
mg tne gold rusn, is stop
ping at the Crescent, and in
cidentally entertaining the
guests with an occassional
personal experience story of
the halcyon days when ron
ey was plentiful. It is diffi
’ cult to get Jim started on re
miniscing, but when he does
he is certain of an attentive
audience. He was one of
j Dawson’s wealthy citizens
and is known from one end
''of Alaska to the other for
his extreme generosity and
square-dealing with his fel
low man. Jim does not blame
the world for his financial
loss and is determined t# yet
make another fortune from
Alaska mines. This spring,
with his partner Gordon
Betties, Mr. Dougherty ex
pects to leave for the Broad
pass mining district and de
velop their claims on Indian
river. Such hardy men as
Dougherty and Betties have
really made history and are
of the breed of pioneers who
have made Alaska famous in
song and verse, as wel-1 as
endering valuable assist
ance to the territory in mat
erial matters.
