LIVELY WEEK IN
SOCIAL CIRCLES

Miss Sharley Pike and Miss Melic-
ent Campbell have returned TO Colo
rado college to continue their studies
for the coming term.
On Tuesday evening while their
wives we're enjoying the chafing dish
luncheon at Mrs. Pingrey's. number
of gentlemen entertained Mr.. Earl Bar
ber at the home Of Mr.. Joe Clarke.
Most OF the guests have been married
within the past two or three years
and 1t was with the kindest intention
and forethought that they emulated
their Industrious wives and showered
the future bridegroom with socks. 1t
was certainly an original idea and one
that may become popular. or course,
much would depend on the kind of
socks and as there were no ladies'
there we can't find out whether they
were all wool, home knit or hand
embroidered. We do not even know
whether they were appreciated. How
ever there is no doubt about the jolly
evening and the Dutch lunch.
The Monday Whist club was very
pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Hag-
gart at the usual time. Those present
were Mrs. L. c. Jatway, Mrs. Frank
Balster. Mrs. C. =. Mcconnell. Mrs.
Geo. West, Mrs. w. A. Pickerlll, Mrs
Reese McCloskey, Mrs. A. Hahn, Mrs.
CLAYTON Perkins.
The H. T. club was very charmingly
entertained last Saturday by Mrs. w.
C. Liesenberg. The brides of the
club, Mrs. Liesenberg. Mrs. Sam Hen
derson, were each presented with a
handsome spoon by the club. Miss
johnson Who taught In the Durango
schools for some time was member
of the club. She, too, has recently
become bride, and was remembered
in the same way. Miss Johnson, is
now Mrs. Edward Lee Murphy and
her home is in Prescott, Arizona. The
II. 7. club seems to have charming
members when three of the number
are married within year. We are
sorry not to be able to publish the
list of members but that is one ol
the club secrets.
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Chap
man, Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Chase. en-
tertained large party OF ladies at the
