WEEK
IN SOCIETY

Inc week Just past hgureS always
in Laramie annals as "universitv
week." and the fact that its laws are
largely devoted to the opening of that
institution, making arrangements for
the comfort and entertainment of new
students and instructors and generally
pe%rfecting plans for the betterment of
conditions surrounding the chief ed.
ucational establishment of the state
accounts for the absence of special so
cial events during this period. Next
week the rush will be on again, invita-
tons having already been issued for
several important functions, including
the receptions complimentary to the
college community. Several of the
city clubs inaugurate their years work
next week, as will be seer by a glance
over the announcements and an inspec-
ton of the courses outlined indicates
an exceptionally brilliant and proita-
Bile year. The presidents annual re-
ception to the Woman's club, which oc-
Cured at the home of Mrs. Erickson
this afternoon, is of especial import
ance this fall in view of the approach
ing session of the Wyoming State Fed
GRAFTON of Women's clubs which will
hold its third annual meeting in this
city October 10th, 18th and 18th. The
formal program for this important
gathering is not at hand as yet, so it
must suffice to say that many distin-
guished women from this and neigh
boring states will contribute to the
success of the programs and that the
local committee are sparing no effort
which will contribute to the pleasure
of the delegates. The Literary club
will assist in entertaining the guests
enc evening, and for another night a
Laramie program has been arranged
which will include readings from
Shakespeare by DR.. Tisdel and num-
bers by the most talented musicians
of the city. An organ recital by Dean
Bode at the Cathedral is one of the
pleasures in store and Laramie has
the finest pipe organ in the state, while
Dean BODIES mastery renditions once
heard are never forgotten. OF strictly
social functions there will be no
dearth, among these being the luncheon
which the Woman's club will tender
the guests at the Methodist church
from IL O'Clock until 2 on Thursday,
the 18th. Several prominent Laramie
ladies are also arranging an elaborate
progressive luncheon for the delegates,
who will enjoy the various courses IN
der as many hospitable roofs. Indeed,
SO many prominent club women of the
state have already signifed their in
%tention Of being present, that the meet
ing may safely be declared a success
at this early date. According to the
year book of the federation, the or
Ganization now consists of nineteen
Clubs, with a membership of $40. Dur
ing the year just closing, six new clubs
have been gained and it is evident that
the work of the infant federation is on
a solid foundation in spite of its linn
tied span of years. The federation

ton of Women's clubs March oath,
1904, and its present officers are as fol
