Would Not Spoil the Reception.

There is a fashionable woman i'm this
city who aspire5 TO be a leader, and en-
teTtains frequently and handsomely.
During the lifetime of her husband she
issued invitations for "A grand blow
out. Her spouse was absent at the
time, but there was nothing unusual
in this. He was mere cipher in his
home, and like many husbands a Ia
mode enjoyed himself in separate and
different manner from the way in
which his wife filled up the days and
nights. Such husbands have IA most
provoking way, living or dead, of being
marplOtS, always doing things which
interfere with the plans of the wife
What could be more inOpDOrtune than
to be frustrated in giving 4 bali when
the preparations had progressed so far
rs floral decorations, caterers and cooks
hard at work, and at the last and cTiti-
cal moment to receive a telegram an
nOuncing the death Of ones husband.
For a moment the giyer of the ball
seemed to be dashed by the news, but
instantly recovered her Self-pOSSessiOn.
She felt that her duty to society was
paramount to any selfish indulgence of
regret that his death should occur so
inOppOTtunely. She said that her
guests would be grieved if they
learned of the calamity before they
had danced and eaten the supper pre-
pared. At tOnee she telegraphed for the
remains not to be forwarded for few
days, but the telegram was not re-
ceived in time, and while the reyelTy
was at its height the lady was notified
that the corpse had arrived. Prompt
ly she ordered the body 10 be carried
out into the back ward, where it re-
manned until morning, when the affec-
tiOnate wife, having slept of the IA
tigueS of her entertainment, ordered
the box to be opened and the dead hus-
band laid out in state. and Grape to be
tied on the door. The withered flowers
of the feast remained to decorate the
coffin. All of the prOprieties were oh
served, and the fashionable wOman's
friends found it difficult 10 decide
which was the most elegant, the sOiree
dansante or the funeral which 80
quickly followed. This story was told
me as a fact, and the lady still shines
as the giyer of elegant receptions.

Wyoming Territory Tries Il and

This Territory, as IS well known, Is

should be progressive. and, second. tU
throw into politics an element Ia aid
IN counteThalancing the influence of
the rOughS. thieves. cutthrnats. and
hiSnWaymeIL who then constituted a
large share of the population. Since
that time fair trial of the Institution
has not developed sufficient power or
Importance in the voting of the we
men Ia prompt any one Ia move FOR a
repeal OF the law. | believe 0nly one
woman in the Territory WAS ever
elected To Office by the people. and now
no Offices are ever demanded by the
1aif sex, except some Sinecure places
IN the Legislature, where the pay can
be drawn. and hut little service ren-
dered.
In the casting of the votes the wO-
men do not figure extensively, except
on very rare occasions. There IS a
certain class, however. who always
vote. and, being themselves diSreputa-
hle characters, they always throw their
sntfrageS 10 the worst men on the tick
cts. The puTiticdtiOn Of politics j. not
10 their interest. In other eases the
members of some certain church or
Othe. society desire one of their NUM-
ber elected TO some Office. and then the
women of that organization cast their
votes sOlidly for the designated man.
Probably half the woman i'm Cheyenne
have never cast a vote since the first
OF second election after the laW was
passed. At first il was customary for
carriages to visit all the residences on
election DAYS and convey the ladies To
the polls in the interest Of certain
candidates, but that fashion is now
almost a dead letter. There is sep
arate polling place for the women, and
they are treated like ladies. being free
from insults or jOstlinS; so that mix
ing with the mob can not he the cause
of their lack OF interest in elections.
but that politics Is out of their legiti
mate sphere. As the adoption of the
