would have been mistaken, for with
the flying of snow and the biting OF
the shrill north wind society has be-
come gayer than ever before during the
season of frost. True there have not
been many elaborate gatherings but
germans, teas and other small events
have been innumerable. And above
all and through all has been heard the
jingle of merry sleigh bells.
The gaieties of the Fort were not
really ushered in until Friday evening
when the officers and ladies gave an
elaborate entertainment in compliment
to Captain and Mrs. Woodbury., who
lately arrived at the tented city from
the east.
The reception was given in the
brightly Illuminated post hall, where
the many guests We're received by Gen
eral and Mrs. Penrose.
The hall was converted into a bower
of evergreens and flowers, which deco
rated the place on all sides. The walls
were hung with Navajo blankets and
rugs, which, with the sabres and guns
produced very unique and attractive
effect. From the four corners of the
hall hung trails of smilaX swung to
to the chandelier. Around the hall
were long divans and hooks, where
groups of the merry makers chatted
between the dances. Late in the even
ing dancing was interrupted for re-
freshments, which We're enjoyed in the
gai1y decked officers club Sprays of
smilaX and cut flowers were used on
the tables with artistic effect. From
the balcony tempting music fioated
and the guests joined in the whirl I'M
til the midnight hour. Then a high
wind and fine snow beating against
the windows gave notice of storm
without and there was a rush for UNI
brellas and wraps. Outside the de-
parting guests were met with blind
ing snow storm and General PerHose
hastily ordered two large sleighs in
which most of the city guests were
brought to town.
