Fl WEEK
} In SOCIETY

week was the large party arranged il
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Egglestor
by a number of their friends on Thurs
day night. Mr.. and Mrs. Egglestor
have been the guests of DR.. and Mrs
Gardiner while %perfecting their ar
rangements for removal to Idaho, and
the party, which was exceptionally
complete in all its details, was given
in the spacious apartments occupied
by them. 1t was a surprise, and Mrs
Brees invited Mr.. and Mrs. EggTeston
to dine with her, it being understood
that DR.. and Mrs. Gardiner would
walk up for them after a wnIie.'
When the company had assembled,
Mrs. GARDINER telephoned to the un
%suspecting victims to come home as a
few callers had come in. 1t is a pity
that their faces could not have been
photographed when they beheld the
few" for the pictures would have
made most satisfactory souvenirs for
those who SO successfully planned the
event. Finch and cards were then de-
clared to be the program for the even
ing, and cosy groups played Whist,
high five, euchre or five hundred as
fancy led, or took a hand in finch.
One quartette waXed so hilarious at
the latter game at times, that several
policemen were observed closely
watching the brilliantly Illuminated
windows and evidently wishing they
were Gin it" also. An elaborate course
luncheon was served at the turn uf the
night, which was leisurely discussed
and thoroughly enjoyed, some of the
ladies being even persuaded to take a
second olive. Supper being over, the
center of the stage was assigned to
Mrs. Fitch, to her having been dele
gated the pleasant duty of presenting
to the honor guests the farewell tok-
ems which symbolized the love and
good wishes of the friends before
them. Mrs. Fitch's address charming
ly mingled "reminiscences and forecast,
wit and wisdom, mirth and tears. and
many an eye glistened with unshed
drops when she placed in Mrs. Eggles-
tons hands the beautiful gold lined
silver nut bowl with its accompany
ing ladle. Mrs. Eggleston responded
with words of graceful appreciation,
but Mr.. Eggleston bowed his thanks.
1t was unanimously voted not to wait
for nut-bearing trees to grow before
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. E~ggleston in
their new home and each man accord
ingly decided upon the fruit he intends
to have served to him in that bowl
and eat with that ladle when he ap-
pears at Blackfoot! Goodnight was
said, but not goodbye, au reyoir being
substituted in the hope that when Mr..
Eggleston's health is restored they
may again return to Laramie to live.
