people. Situated a hun1red miles from
almost anywhere, without any metro
pOlitan resources, such as lecture courses,
art exhibitions, grand opera, etc,
Cheyenne manages to be Gayer under ad-
verse circumstances than other town
of Its size in the United States.
Remember we draw nothing from the
outside world. All that we do or have
comes from within ourselves. Where is
the own hat has done more celebrating
than Cheyenne during the past year?
From March. when the statehood bill
passed the house, until the middle of
July, we celebrated. Then with scarcely
alull, came the political contest, with
sufficient mental strain and excitement to
please anybody. Alter that we dragged
our tired bodies and depleted pocket
books to the annual fair and horse races.
With discussing judicial appointments and
thinking over what had gone before. we
endured October, and now comes Novem-
Der and the legislature, Thanksgiving and
a series of social designations to satisfy our
craving for excitement and pleasure.
Monday night of this week the young
people led off with a meeting of their
whist club at Miss Laura Palmer's. This
is almost exclusively a teachers society
that is, the female portion of it. The
members are twelve in number, and
picked whist PLAYERS. Prizes we're won
by Mics Harrison and Mr.. IIebard. and
elegant refreshments were served. Miss
Palmer demonstrated herselfan admirable
hostess.
Tuesday night Mr.. and Mrs. j. G.
Pratt entertained a party of friends at
their cosy home on Nineteenth street.
The parlors were decorated with flowers,
and large eorsage bouquets of c~hrysanthe-
NUNS Of various colors we're presented to
the ladies. The gentlemen received bou-
tonnicrs. on which were pinned the names
OF their partners. When each had sought
and found his bonny bunch of chrysan-
themums, they sat down for a friendly
game of whist. At the proper time oys-
ter salad, bisque glace aud all the deli
cious accomplishments were served. 1t
was one OF the prettiest parties of the
year. Among the invited we're Governor
and Mrs. Warren. DR.. Barber and Judges
Riner. NanDevanter and Potter.
Tuesday evening also the High Five
club met at Mrs. Hurlbut's on Seven
teenth street. The method of awarding
prizes in this society is an original one.
The same person is obliged to win the
prizes at two successive meetings in order
retain it. Unless fortune prove less
tickle and unkind than she is wont, one
set of prizes will last some time. They
are now in the possession Of Mrs. Baxter
and Mr.. Beard. who will endeavor by in
carnations and Dropitiations to win them
Tor keeps next week.
The ITALIA club gave a very pleasant
dancing party at Keefe hall Monday
night.
The Capital City Social club held its
monthly dance at the same place We'd
nesdav eve. Both were largely attended.
The Queen Anne club met at Mrs. Geo.
w. Bakers Wednesday afternoon. Top

lhe Nhalauqua ClICle ntlu lntlT meet
ing at DR.. Hunts Friday evening. Among
other things. Miss Harrison, OF the public
schools, read a comprehensive AND inter-
esting paper on Religion in Early English
History.
The Cotlllion club gave another of their
series OF dances Thursday night. The
~patronesses were Mesdames Kent, Van
Tassel and Appel. Exquisite taste and
management was shown in the selection
OF favors and the serving of an unusually
elaborate supper. Besides the members
of the club, there we're present from out
of town Mrs. Hunton, of Fort Laramie,
Miss Lindsay, of Montreal, and Miss
Whitehouse. OF Red Buttes.
Those who listened to the poor little
dog, Boulanger, singing Home, Sweet
Home" at the opera house Monday
night, will be sorry to hear that he was
run over and killed by a dray in Salt
Lake. Whether his life here was a happy
one is a question. His sad little song
seemed to be prophetic. 1t is to be hoped
that he is free from singing and keeping
time to his music IN his Happy Hunting
Grounds"
The society women of Cheyenne have
taken up the complexion fad and massage
with a will. and the parlor of the massa-
guer is filled with their lively chatter and
the rustic of their gowns. Their faces are
first bathed with some sweet scented To-
ton until every particle of dust is re
moved from the pores. Then comes a
~smUthering in a steaming hot sponge un-

which some cooling, fragrant ointment,
containing marvellous healing and bleach
ing powers is worked into the skin by the
soft fingers of the deft Every
incip;ent wrinkle is ca. efulIy smoouned
away, any obtrusive pimple receives a
backset. The cheeks are pinched and
spatted to a degree OF r~oundness, and the
weakening muscles receive new life. At
last your face is carefully cleansed with
soft linen. No powder or make up Of
any description is allowed while you are

ones complexion a natural, healthy tint,
prettier than any art can make it. You
don your hat and go out into the world
again with such a thoroughly rested, re-

take frequent treatment, and cherish
dreams of beauty to be developed in the
near future. BEE.
