THE WEEK s
} In SOCIETY |

The most important event of tn,
week was the surprise party tendere,
Mrs. S. H. Campbell Thursday after
noon, that being the twenty-fifth an
niversary of her marriage. The part,
was held at the residence of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Davis, ant
the arrangements were so cleverl,
planned by the relatives and her in
innate friends that not a trace of sus
picion entered the mind of Mrs. Camp
bell. Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell and sor
dined by pressing invitation at the
Union Pacific hotel, and were detained
there until all the guests could be con.
veyed to the scene of the festivities
and secreted in the house. When they
finally entered the rooms, a bedlam
of congratulations and Fluctuations
reigned, and eye witnesses declare that
Mr.. Campbell fell a willing victim to
the kisses which were lavished upon
his better half. Mr.. and Mrs. Camp
bell were married at Rock Island, Ill,
but came to Laramie eighteen years
ago last month, and have been prom
inently identified with the best inter
ests of the town ever since, Mr.. Camp
bell being at present state fish COM
missioner. They have one idolized
little on, Otto, who was baptized on
the twentieth anniversary of their
wedding day. Rarely beautiful gifts
of solid silver, china and cut glass
were lavished upon the popular pair,
exquisite cut flowers from young
friends adding the daintiest of color
effects to the dazzling array. A con
gratulatory telegram was received
from Mr.. and Mrs. Neale Roach, which
was read to the assembled guests.
Euchre furnished an amusing pastime
during a part of the afternoon, the
game proving very interesting. Mrs.
Schofield, who occupied at seat at the
head table during nine successive
games, won the first prize; Mrs. Leh-
man, Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Hodge
man tied for second prize, the trophy
eventually going to the latter; Mrs.
Ivinson, Mrs. Conner, Mrs. Durlacher
N Mrs. Spalding played off for the
third prize, the latter winning it. The
consolation gift was awarded to Mrs.
Rauner. A dainty luncheon was served
and the jolly crowd returned late to
town in the gayest of spirits, each con-
graduating each on the pleasure of
the afternoon, and all hoping to assist
in the proper celebration of the golden
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell.
