The Wednesday Music Party was a music and social group of Denver women which met bi-weekly in the winter season at member's homes. It began in September, 1906 and was active until at least May, 1973. Its members included many of the city's social elite: Mmes Bosworth, Cranmer, Holme, Phipps, Grafton Rogers, Van Cise, Van Schaak, Waring, and others. They took their music seriously. ''Absolute silence while the music is going on'' was dictated in the by-laws. There were fines for absence and tardiness of $0.25 and $0.10 respectively. The social aspect seems to have been more lively. There was a ''Spring Madness'' party in the mountains at each seasons end.
