bloom provided the browning note OF
color and beauty. The place cards
were also tied in ribbons of red and
green, n were inscribed with table
and couple numbers instead of names,
In the lottery for partners which pre-,
ceded the initial course, all the mem.
bers of "ye merrie companie" were
pleased with the DEGREES of fate, and
the repast began with a happy con.
versational hum, which continued
throughout the entire afternoon. 1t
was a progressive luncheon and at the
conclusion of each course, reds as
cended and greens descended" in a
manner exceedingly conductive to gen.
eral mirth and frivolity. The elab-
crate menu was carefully served in
seven courses, Mrs. Erickson being
gracefully assisted by Miss Merriam
and Miss Peabody. Indeed, the only
spectre at the feast was the ever
present consciousness that later each
guest would be expected to entertain
the company for five minutes. This
feature of the afternoon, however,
proved to be as successful and pop
ular as any hostess could desire, the
entire program being extremely cred
liable. The diversity of the enter
tainment provided was as remarkable
as its excellence. To p%articularize is
obviously impossible, owing to lack of
| space in these columns, so it must suf-
fee to say that the range varied from
a graphic outline of the first social
event even given in Laramie, related
| by Mrs. ~Ivinson, to a fine rendering of
a scene from Shakespeare, given by
Mrs. Knight, the most recent addition
to the circle, ~conundrums, anecdotes,
reproductions of paintings, European
views, original poems, letters from rel.
atives and friends, and other good
things contributing to the amusement
hour. The musical program furnished
by guests was also of an exceedingly
high order, vocal numbers being rem.
dered by Mrs. Boehne Miss Peabody
and Miss Merriam, which were en-
Enthusiastically encored. Mrs. Wash.
burn and Mrs. Hiskey contributed an
instrumental duet which was heard
with marked pleasure, and the con-
GLIDING number OIL the program, which
caused many to aver that the best
had been kept until the last, was the
mastery rendition by Mrs. Hiskey of
Leybach's THE Palms CLes Ram
eaux). At dispensing, the guests pro-
Ifusely congratulated their hostess on
the success of her innovation. Mrs.
