Mrs. 7. B. Hicks entertained a num-
Der of ladies at a charming luncheon on
Thursday. -Four tables, decorated in
pink, red. green and white, were used.

Jeffrey, Rhodes, ljams, Organ. Kent,

sell.
One of the most charming and unique
entertainments that has occurred in Chey-
enne for some time was given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Edmund j. Churchill at their pleas
ant home on East Eighteenth street Fri
day evening. The parlors were decorated
with exquisite taste. Hangings of pure
white we're draped from the sides and cor
ners of the ceilings to the center pieces,
and on these the effect of brilliant lights,
softened with yellow shades, was ex-
tremely pretty and artistic. The enter
tainment was called a labyrinth party, and
afforded plenty of amusement for the
guests. Under the center piece OF the
parlor ceiling was suspended a frame,
made with threads to initiate a large spi-
der web. Around the circle OF the web
we're fastened slips of paper on which
were numbers identical with similar
numbers which the guests bad selected
by lot. From the circle of the web long
strings were fastened leading off into all
parts of the house. Each guest took a
string indicated by his or her number
and followed its devious winnings, and

threads led oyer the transoms, through
kevholes, up garrett, down cellar and into
dark hooks and corners. At the end of
each string was a prize. BY some strange
coincidence searchers like Fred. Ransom,
Col. Bryan, Mr.. Robins and other gem
tlemen found such prizes as doll babies or
water MELONS while the ladies found
handsome souvenirs, some of them being
hand painted ~fsncies, the work of the
hostess.
