Past Week.

Pleasant dancing parties INT afternoon
high tves have made the past week an
enjoyable one to Cheyenne society people.
Equally pleasant events are in anticipa-
ton for the coming week.
PARLE voUs FRAHCAIs.
One of the enjoyable events of the week
was a 'Causerie Francais7' given By Mn.
Gen. Thompson on Friday afternoon at
her residence on Capitol avenue. Most
ofthe members of the French classes were
present and an hour preceding cards was
spent in conversing f~luenfly in French.
The programmes contained quotations in
French. One of them was as follows:
''Tsisey lie premier. ce que, vons voulez
du'on %taire."
'Des lois que nous s%uisons Ia premiere
est P%honneur."
"L'amour avidement croft tout ce qui
lie fatte."
At high FIVE Mrs. Rhodes won the first
prize and Mrs. Guiterman the second.
DOMINO DANCE
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath celebrated their
wedding anniversary on Friday evening by
giving a pleasant dancing party to a mum
Der OF friends. The guests came masked
and wearing dominoes of varied hue and
make. Conversation was until the hour
of unmasking carried on principally by
signs and gestures and the scene as the
dominoes glided silently like shadows
through the figures of the dance was
weird and at the same time very pretty.
Following dancing and the unmasking
elegant refreshments were served. The
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Patton.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. N. Potter, Mr.. and Mr..
Fred Bond, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Robins,

THE oHILDREN's PARTY.
Perhaps the prettiest party of the week
was that given the children in his dancing
classes by Prof Hiser at Keefe Hall last
evening. The Young people we're
promptly on hand at 7 o'clock and from
that hour until 9 danced a programme of
waltzes. quadrilles and some new dances.
Nearly all Of the little folks are graceful
and easy dancers and make a much better
appearance on the floor than their elders.
Handsome souvenirs were given the
young people BY Prof. Hiser as memcn-
tos OF the occasion.
A MoMENTOUs QUESTION.
A rather weighty question is agitating
the minds of high five players. Usually
at the afternoon parties Two prizes are
offered, the first for the person having the
highest score, the second Tor the one hav.
ing the next highest. Frequently two
players tie on the highest score. The tie
is settled by cutting cards. Some contend
that the first prize In this case should 90
to the lady cutting the highest card and
the secobd prize to her competitor. But
this leaves the lady who had the second
highest score without. a prize and there
are a number who contend that in the
event OF a tie on the highest score the
successful lady only should have a prize
and the second prize should so to the
person having the second highest score.
AS the p%uzzling question is often an
embarrassing one for the hostess to de-
eide, a decision from some high authority
would be eagerly welcomed.
