Nlrs. n. III. heel gave n social Dime

Eight little buds, smiling and bowling,
sweet as a bright June morning, formed :

Mr.. and Mrs. Conway and Mr.. Spark.
acted as chaperones and after the play
the party was escorted around to Ellis
where a special table decorated with flow
ers, and tempting with ices and cakes,
awaited them. The girls in the party
were Misses Stella and Florence Hellman,
Miss Laura Kent, Miss Jessamine Glaicke,
Miss Maud Sparks, Miss Bessie Smith,
Miss Fannie Converse. Miss Mamie
Addoms.
As we predicted, a riding club has been
formed and paper chases are on the pro-
gramme. 1t is proposed to ride once a
week and wind up with a spread at the
home of some member. Those belonging
to the club are Mrs. Hellman. Mr.. and
Mrs. Carey, Mr.. and Mrs. Mason, Mr..
and Mrs. Gannett, 7. B. Adams. Char

outing is under consideration. 1t is pro-
posed to ride to the Fleur de Lis ranch on
Horse creek, and after resting a day, to
start the hunt from there. The bluffs
and broken country in that vicinity afford
bountlful opportunities for the hare, or a
man on horseback with bags of paper, to
hide from his pursuers, and no doubt
there will be rare sport. The club will be
CONNIE H:taut or nothing. The members
propose to wear scarlet hunting coats and
caps, and a wire fence or a washout will
be nothing more in their path than a
hedge or ditch to their English cousins.
Miss Davis entertained the Queen
Anne club and a few other friends at her
brothers ranch Friday. On their arrival
a lunch with every delicacy of the season
was served the guests. While eating
each person gave a sentiment pertaining
to the subject in hand. Among many ad
mIrable ones was that OF Mrs. Baxter
from Dudley Warmers Summer in a
Garden Conversation, like lettuce,
should be fresh and crisp. Much depends
on the mixing. A little oil to prevent
friction; salt and pepper, too, foe con
versation must be spicy and a little vine.
gar delicately concealed" etc. After
lunch the ladies' visited the stables and
demonstrated what they knew about
horses. Little Owl and Fayres will be
run at the fair in September, and we are
almost persuaded we will see that famous
Wyoming cup out at Mr.. Davis ranch
next summer, Forest, Davis and Paragon,
a French coach horse, are magnificent
animals, but by far the finest horse in
stable seemed to be the 5-Year-old colt,
Laurence. He already has a record OF
less than three minutes, and is entered
for the stallion trottIng race in September.
A young colt was found asleep in the
blacksmith shop lying by the anvil, evil
IDENTIFY determined not to wake until he
was old enough to be shod. He abso-
lutely refused to get up though coaxed
and punched with parasols. Finally two
ladies helped him to his feet. when he
turned his face to his audience and
yawned prodigiously three times. He
gives great promise of winning the slow
race. The party returned to town about
6 o'clock, having had a most delightful
day. 1t is perhaps needless to remark
that no wolves were seen on the road.
ITO him who in the love of nature

persons living in Cheyenne five or six
years ago remember a patch of puny little
cottonwood saplings set out in mathema-
teal rows IN a lonesome and unsettled
part of the town, and they will remember
also the smile of derision upon being told
this was the Cheyenne park, donated TO
the city by the Union Pacific Railroad
company. Nobody laughs now, and every
C~heyenneite expresses surprise and admi-
ration. This is the second season the cul-
t%ivation of the park has been in the hands
of Andrew Y. Petersen, a gardener by
inheritance. To use his own words: II

ener, and, God helping me, my eldest SOL
shall be a gardener" Being anxious tc
know the significance of the bell in the
little chapel in the center of the park, ]
inquired of Mr.. Petersen.
That" said he, represents a chape
built on the rocks such as you see on the
Alps in Switzerland. When the cow.
herders come down from the mountain
pastures with their cattle in the evenings,
on coming to one OF these little chapel,
they step inside and taking up a larg,
birch bora always kept there, they blow
little praise song, "l.pbGott in Himmel,'
praise God in heaven The Alps are dot
ted with these chapcls and on y summe
evening from far up the mountains ant
all around them float down over the vale.
these musical calls OF the cowherders. Or
Sabbath mornings, on ascending tn,
mountains. the peasants ring the bell
hung in these chapels. This is the signi
icaDce of the bell in the chapel in tn,
