The anti-scandal society of Pinos Altos,
composed exclusively of ladies, graced our city
with its presence on Tuesday. A business meet-
ing was held recently, and there being a surplus
in the treasury, it was decided after a stormy
session lasting eight hours, to dispose of it by
putting it where it would do the most good.
With this object in view it was decided to “se-
cure the substance ere the shadow departed,”
and Gillett & Carter’s four horse bus was char-
tered to convey the society en masse to Silver
City there to have their pictures taken in a
group. They arrived on time and registered at
the Tremont House, and the fun began. Singly
and in groups they discussed the situation until
the noon hour arrived when they all adjourned
to the dining room. An Enterprise reporter was
on hand taking his frugal meal when the giddy
young things entered. If all was quiet then, it
did not long continue so. The confusion of
Babel could readily be accounted for, and to
remark that the society had the floor and kept
it, would be putting it rather mildly. That they
enjoyed themselves, goes without saying and
after indulging for fully an hour in light gossip,
they retired in good order to the parlor. There
were no flies in the dining room, nor on the dear
creatures during their meal, yet a loud buzzing
noise filled the air.
