The week has been entirely given over to gayeties. Much partiality shown the ladies, being mostly afternoon affairs, still the men have been considered to an extent, and the talk of how “women could possible enjoy stupid afternoon card parties,” has been somewhat lessened. The wheel of sociability began to turn Monday, and its pleasant consequences has continued each day. Everything has been embraced, luncheons, cards and dinners. A good many guests are in the city, and many things yet are in view for their entertainment.
Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Harry Woods gave a little dinner. Covers were laid for six and the guests included Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Small, Miss Chatfield and Mr. Hatton.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. E.H. Newland entertained thirty ladies at six-handed euchre. It was indeed closely contested as shown by the necessary cutting.

Three beautiful point lace handkerchiefs. A dainty luncheon was served, soon after the guests departing, whose lists include Mesdames Small, (31 other names…) and Miss Chatfield.

Jul 30, 1900: Letter from Eliza Chatfield to daughter Jacqueline:
Denver. July 30, 1900
Dear Jacqueline,
I received your nice long letter a few days ago. I do not think there is an hour a day we do not think of Marion and every meal your Father says I wonder what she is doing. He said the other evening she is a very smart child. I said who do you mean. He said I was just thinking of the baby. I miss her so much and when Calla and I was cleaning house we came across her little finger marks on the windows. Calla don’t want it rubout on her window. She says it looks like she was around. I would not leave her with Flora. You know she cant have to be scoled.

I found everything all right. I am so sorry Anna left you but I think you can find another girl. You must for it is to hard for you to try to get along alone. The weather now is fine. Has been for some time. The evening we got home it was snowing and blowing very hard. I got your things some time ago and sent up as they said they would send right away. I sent the babys tray the next day after I got your letter. Mrs. Breman was here and spent the day. She will not do eny sewing untill she goes in to Joslins but maby she will go at your waist. I done as you told me with her in regard to your waist and paid her the two dollars.

I have not seen any of Aunt Ellens folks since I came home. Calla was over there few minutes. She said Aunt Ellen was taken out a whole bag of potatoes in to buckets and weighing them to see of the grocer man had cheated her out of a few pounds of potatoes. See what a big blot I made on my paper telling this about Aunt Ellen. That is what we get for talking in that way. When I made the blot the thought came to me that shows the thought of error you are holding in speaking in the way you did about Aunt Ellen. So I will be more careful the next time. I will close and get lunch now. I wish some of you could walk in and take lunch with us. I wrote to Ella this morning. With many kisses to baby and much love to you all I am your loving Mother.

Your father is going over to Charleys soon. He is trying to buy some cattel now. I do not know how he will come out.
Mother
E. Chatfield

Feb 19, 1906: Letter from Calla Chatfield to her sister Jacqueline (Chatfield) Adams living in Basin, Wyoming:
Dearest Jacqueline and babies
I wonder tonight what you all are doing and would love dearly to see you. We were so happy to hear of Dellas and Elmers being able to be safe, and that by now they are fully recovered.
I suppose your little house commences to look dear for anything. Are you getting fully settled?
Is Marion going to school?
Are Ora and Della friendly again? Friday night (last) was our last subscription dance. It was fancy dress affair, just the fanciest party imaginable.
I was in much doubt as to how I would go when dear Mrs. Fesler helped me out. She loaned me the most gorgeous Chinese costume, all hand embroidered in gold and satin. The skirt was yellow satin all embroidered in large Chinese flowers. The overcoat, or sort of cassock, was all embroidered in gold, forming a large dragon in front and back, and the dear little trousers were a brilliant green silk with large white satin folds, done in birds and flowers.
I coiled my hair in my neck and wore red and yellow chrysanthemums in my hair.
The costume was stunning. I’m going to get my picture taken in it and will send you one. I know my suit was beautiful but I had no idea it would be such a hit. Truly everyone just went wild over it. I wish you could of heard them. I am still hearing about it. Mrs. Fesler was delighted to think it was so pleasing. Mrs. Fesler goes tonight to Mrs. Will Chamberlins fancy dress party and will wear the same costume or nearly the same. She always asks after you dear so when you write to me send some message to her.
Your black silk suit is finished. I have not seen it yet.
I am still working with my music and I’m working lots as I never worked before. I would like to go away and study for a while. I wish Elmer would make a million and loan me a couple thousand.
How do you like Basin dear. Do you really think you are going to like it? Please do write soon and answer all my questions. Don’t wait a week on receipt of this letter for that will make such a long time.
Give my love to all the folks and tell Fred I wish him the best of luck.
With much love for you all, very lovingly your sister.
