UNIVERSITY
DELEGATES To STATE Fedora.
TON OF WoMEN's CLUBS TO
INSPECT INSTITUTION.
Asked to Be Shown the Drill, Look ov-
er Fine Buildings, Including New
Gymnasium and Museum-Ses-
sions to Begin Tuesday Afternoon
and End With Friday Night.

The annual reception of the Woman's
club, which occurred Saturday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Erickson, is
of even more than usual interest and
Importance this fall, on account of the
approaching meeting of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Women's clubs, which will
be held in this city October 9Th to 18th,
inclusive. Mrs. Erickson, president of
the club, was assisted in receiving and
entertaining by several of the other Of
feers and members, among whom were
Mrs. Latimer, Mrs. Stickney, Mrs.
Fitch, Mrs. A. E. Miller, Mrs. Cor
thell, Mrs. Merriam, Mrs. Kidd,
Mrs. Bethany and Mrs. Mckee. Mrs.
Eggleston presided at the steaming
urn, and tea and talk" made the so
cial session pass all too swiftly.
Arranging for Federation.
A portion of the time was devoted to
discussion of the arrangements for the
state gathering. From the reports
made by Mrs. Bellamy, chairman of
the credentials committee, it is esti-
mated that sixty guests from abroad
will attend the meeting, and an effort
is being made to secure hostesses for
that number.
Mrs. Corthell, chairman of the local
board, outlined, as far as possible, the
plans for the meeting.
Coming Next Tuesday.
The delegates are expected Tuesday,
but on account Of the uncertainty sur
rounding the arrival of trains, no SEES
sion has been planned for the after
noon. 1t is probable that Dean Bode
will be asked to entertain the party
with an organ recital for an hour, the
concert to occur at the cathedral late
in the afternoon. The formal opening
Of the federation occurs Tuesday even
Ing, and this will include addresses by
well known club women from Colora-
Go, as well as the talks usual on such
occasions.
Will Visit University.
Wednesday morning the guests have
signifed their desire TO visit the Uni
ye1sity Of Wyoming, expressing the
wish to witness the drill, to inspect the
fine edifces, including the new gymna-
sum-, and the museum, and seem anx-
ious to thoroughly acquaint themselves
| with tho faniliting and Iuontaunp If
the entire institution. 1t is scarcely
necessary to assure the ladies that DR..
Tisdel and his able corps of instruct
ors will tender them the keys of the un-
iversity, and will do everything in their
power to make the tour of inspection
thorough and pleasant, and is is very
doubtful if any feature of the fedora
ton can be more important to the
guests, surely non can be more inter
esting, than this particular one.
Business Meeting Wednesday.
The business of the federation will
be commenced on Wednesday, but the
evening will be devoted to sociability
again, and the Laramie Literary club
will entertain the guests, the ladies of
the Woman's club and their husbands
and their W wives, the program
promised being a tempting one.
Luncheon at Methodist Church.
The Laramie Woman's club will ten
der the delegates a luncheon at the
Methodist church on Thursday, each
member of the club having as her spec
lal guest one of the visiting ladies'. 1t
was the original plan to have the la
dies of the Methodist church, who will
be in charge of the repast, serve this
luncheon from IL until 2 o'clock, Dpr
owing to the declination of the Cney-
enne Musical club to give the concer
promised for that night, it is possible
the affair may be postponed until ev-
ening, and that toasts, solos, ETC., may
be thus added when there will be time
for their enjoyment.
A Progressive Luncheon.
The routine business of the fedora
ton will also be varied by a progress
siVe luncheon, which will probably
take place on Friday. This function
Will be given by a number of promi-
nent ladies, and each hostess will serve
one course of the menu at her home,
being assisted in that pleasant privi-
lege by a party of Laramie club wo-
men. The list for this luncheon will
necessarily be limited to the out of
town guests.
An Automobile Tour.
Another delightful feature of the
gathering will be an automobile ride
for the delegates, which will be given
at some pleasant and convenient time
under the direction of Mrs. Jesse Con
verse.
AS has been previously stated, the
program containing the final arrange
ment of the routine business of the
federation is not yet ready for publ
cation, but the sessions will be held
