A lawn party in Laramie is a rare
thing. but it is still a more rare
occurrence when the weather is
warm enough to make an
evening out of doors enjoyable.
Wednesday evening, however. was warm
and pleasant. and nearly 200 guests as
sembled at the pleasant home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Torrance Logan on Sixth street,
where the ladies' Of the Catholic church
held a lawn social and reception. The
event was in honor of Father Cum
miskey and Father Heating. who has had
charge OF the church during Father
Cnmmiskey's absence. The lawn was
illuminated by a locomotive headlight,
which made the grounds nearly as light
as day. Miss Owens OF Cheyenne and
Miss Murphy assisted Mrs. Logan in re-
ceiving. The following program was
rendered:

The French are trying to revive some
Of the old dances-those Of a century
ago. Dancing has been subjected to the
changes that are apparent In all things
else. At present, it Is said. our dances
have dsgenerated and savor Of inooher-
ency. lacking character, grace and ex-
preston. The revival OF the minuet has
been hailed with delight right here in
Laramie and the other old dances will
meet with favor when introduced.
The Bittner company, which has play
ed here all this week. will close its en-
gagement tonight.

The people Of Laramie possess to quite
an extent that greatest Of all virtues,
charity. Whenever an entertainment
for one OF the many charitable organiza-
tons Is announced the citizens, both
young. and old. make ready to patronize
the good cause.
The hop given by the ladies Of the Re
lief Corps last evening received the gen.
erous support OF the public as does ev-
erything gotten up by the members Of
This worthy society. About 200 people
were present at the new lodge room Of
the Grand Army and Relief Corps on the
first floor of the Odd Fellows building,
which has been conveniently and attrac-
lively arranged for the use Of the so
~cieties. Cake and ice cream were served
t o the dancers who kept step to the sweet
strains furnished by the Mandolin club,
until midnight.
Those who are fond OF the now fash
ionable Welsh rarebit may be glad to
learn that it can be eaten with out dread
OF distress il a pinch Of b~i-carbonate OF
potash is added 10 it.
Rheumatic patients who have been
forbidden the use OF beans, peas, and
like vegetables. may eat the same with
out fear il a quarter OF a teaspoonful OF
bi-carbonate OF potash is added t o the
water in which the vegetables are cook
ed. Thus the potash salts are given to
these vegetables which naturally lack
the same. but which are rich in NITROGEN
to the detriment Of the rheumatic and
equity.
