LINES FROM MOSAIC.
An Interesting Review of the Soci-
city Week.
A Pretty Fort Russell Party, Picnic
and Cards.
Cross Country Riding and Fine
Horses and Rigs.

Although the yellow leaves are falling
fast and the air has a keen touch of win
ter in its breath, still society is ever joy
GUS, and strives with its ~gayeties and
pleasures to make us forget that the
melancholy days have come, the saddest
of the year.
On Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. Goodell
gave a most enjoyable picnic at their well
known "Belvoir'' ranch. What would
our eastern friends think of a climate
where an entire day could be spent in pic
mic joys on the 10th of October? Truly
our Falls are perfect
Mrs Poillon, the charming land popu
lar daughter of the distinguished com
mandant of Fort Russell, gave a c~otifion
at the post Thursday evening 10 her many
friends. The post hall was never SO
beautifully decorated. The walls were
covered with our nation's flags caught in
unique and graceful festoons and deeked
here and there with the nation 8 weap-
ons grouped in beautiful designs. On the
stage was a massive bank OF luxuriant and
blooming plants, behind which the band
was placed. Colored lamps hung from
the ceiling and brilliant stand lamps were
in the corners.
We have often seen flags and swords,
rifles and ~bsyonets. lamps and flowers be-
decking a festive hall, but never before
have We seen them used with such unique
taste and charming effect. Standing BY
her parents side Mrs. Pollion received
her guests. Dressed in a handsome gown
of white lace, de'collete, her neck cir
cled with pearls and her wealth of black
hair decked with clusters of the same
pure gem, she seemed no less beautiful
than her pearls, and no less brilliant than
the stars above her. After the guests ar
rived a waltz, a polka and the Lancers
were danced-then the c~otillion began.
Lieut.. Dashiel led with Mrs. Poillon and
the following couples participated:
Mr.. aud Mrs. Mast, MIR. Morgan. Miss
Kent. Mr.. Beard, Mrs. jeffrey, Lieut..
Durfee, Mrs. Ives. Lieut. and Mrs. Dru-

and Mrs. Lyons. Capt. and Mrs. Greene,
Lieut.. and MIS-. Ruhlen, Lieut.. aud
Mrs. Cheynoweth, Lieut.. and Mrs.
Muir, Capt. Burns and Mrs. S. Dillon of
Ohio. The iavors, distributed by Mrs.
Greene and Mrs. Dillon. were very hand
some and much admired, the figures
were unique and interesting; after each
one ices of different kinds were served
aud the dancers seemed so refreshed and
rested that they began the next figure
with renewed zeal.
At l o'clock there was an intermissioD,
and Mr.. T. B. Adams danced the Sailors
Horn Pipe, and gave two character songs,
much to the delight of of everyone. The
tables were then set and delicious refresh
ments served, after which Gen. Miner
entertained the party with some sparkling
remarks, which were gracefully responded
to by Judge Carey, who concluded by
saying, "on with the dance" On it
went, and 10y was unconfned, till
nearly 3 o'clock, when the strains OF
Home, Sweet Home" announced the
close of one of the most beautiful and en-
joyable cotillions ever danced at the post,
anu one tlat cannot S0On De 10rgOtten, LOT
those who danced it will surely ever hold
the fair hostess in grateful remembrance.
On Friday night MIS-. Frank Bond gave
a very pleasant drive whist party.
Last night was the first time Cheyenne
people have had an opportunity Of seeing
Miss Mather, and society" turned out
en- masse.

enne women will take to heart the idea
that all theatre going people in the east
have adopted, and that is hat the proper
thing to wear upon ones head at the play
is either the beautifulz covering bestowed
by nature or else a mite of a hat or bon
net, consisting of nothing more tangible
that a bit of tulle. flowers and lace. A
woman must have a hardened conscience
indeed, who can st calmly at the theatre
in a hat like a cart wheel, in the full
knowledge that for the unfortunate people
behind her the view consists of a noun
tain of feathers and ribbons and occasion
