ng.
Mrs. G. K. Lewis delivered the second
of her course oflectures on American Lit.
e%rature, in the Presbyterian church Tues.
day afternoon her subject being the Star
Poets" On Friday afternoon Mrs. f.
+. Warren opened her p%arlors for the
third le3ture. About thirty ladies were
present. Mrs. Lewis reviewed the works
of Ralph Waldo Emerson and discussed
his merits as a poet and literary charac-
ter. The last of these interesting lectures
will be delivered at the house Of Mrs. J.
=. Baird at 10 a. IN. next Tuesday. Par
lor lectures are very popular with society
in the east. They are a very enjoyable
and profitable source Of entertainment and
we hope Cheyenne will have more OF
them.
The Sunergae gave another hop Thurs
day evening in Library hall. These are
delightful and refreshing little entertain
ments aud are eagerly anticipated by old
and young lovers OF dancing. We can
only mention a few of the gowns. 1t
speaks volumes for the ladies' of Chey-
enne that they are able to appear so at
t~ractive in a ball room of four SQUARE
walls without ornamentation or any of the
little decoration that aid so materially in
setting off females charms.

honor OF her guests, Miss Dickens of Cal
~ifornia. and Miss Thomas of Washington.
Many of the town society people were
present. The game of progressive hearts
was played until IL O'Clock when prizes
were awarded. Mrs. r. S. VanTassell
and DIR. Appel were the most successful
in throwing away hearts and were awarded
first prize, Mrs. Hay aud Mr.. Simons
the second and Mrs. Kent and Capt.
Lyon finding too many hearts a burden,
were obliged to be content with the
booty"
The musicale at Mrs. Corlett's was a
very brilliant affair. The guests we're re-
ceived by the hostess in a beautiful lace
gown, assisted by Mrs. Nagle in black
silk, and the star of the evening
Madam Florenza D'Arona Davidson.
Madam Davidson studied under the most
celebrated vocal master of the day. Her
voice is a contralto of unusual compass.
She has appeared in some thirtv-nine
operas, her greatest success being in
Carmen, TroUdtore, La TrdUiatd and La.
cretid Borgid. Madame Davidson is tall
and slender, lark eyes and striking pro-
file. Her dress was black, embroidered
with silver braid and seed pearls. Her
selections were rare, IN aria from Hugue-
nots, a pretty English ballad, a French
song OF exquisite beauty, and the grand
manner in which the rendered the cele-
brated Bundisi from LHcretid BOrgid
aroused the utmost enthusiasm of her au
dience.

One of Cheyenne's society women car
ries a silver powder box resembling a
chatelain purse. Set inside of the lid is a
mirror. The powder is folded in a piece
of handkerchief reserved for that purpose
and the manner in which this fair woman
opens the box and makes up in n ball
room or at a dinner table is something
sublime.S
The latest wedding fad is for the bridal
,ortv to ufap1 un1ar a canOnV Of silk.
