denial. is q~uickening into a giddy whirl Of
activity the doings of society. Parties
and entertainments of all kinds crowd
upon each other SO rapidly that time for
anything else is almost annihilated.
The presence of the Legislature affords
for much entertaining and the visit

imony that Cheyenne hospitality has been
extended with lavish hands during their
soiourn in the Capital City.
Friday seems to be the favorite time
for sociability with Cheyenne people,
There we're no less than six entertain

pleasant tea to a few friends at her home
with Mrs. Hale on Eighteenth street.

house attracted a few people. while the

Lovers OF the German went to the post.
Devotees of whist were entertained at
two large parties. one al the residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter on Feguson street
and one At Mn. A. II. Reels at their

joyed.
The "2I club" surpassed themselves at
their hop Tuesday night. The music was
better than at the previous meeting, and
the dancing ''waxed fast and furious
until midnight; then the surprise" that
every one had been wondering about was
revealed. The boys had prepared a lunch
and actually kept it secret until time for
serving. Perhaps SO large a company
never before was served with such neat
ness and despatch.

The same train carried them back again,
but not until two hour later than the
time agreed upon, making a pretty long
wait for the party in the not too comfort
able waiting room at the post. The ger.
