Society SENS to find interest in char,
liable work at this season of the year
and bazaars are in order as well as
numberless acts of private charity
which are undertaken by generous
folk at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and pass all unheralded and unsung.
The university girls are dressing dolls
and making ~scrapbooks for hospital
children under the direction of the 7.
w. c. A. and are finding much plea,
sure in the work. The Presbyterians
gave an enjoyable and successful fair
last night in their new church, netting
q considerable sun towards liquidating
the debt on that edifice. The ladies
of the Episcopal church are making
careful plans for the fair which they
will give at Maennerchor hall on the
Goth, and the Baptist ladies will enter
tain their friends at tea at Mrs. Fitch's
on the 18th. The weather continues
perfect and the joke about the Presby'
~terians bringing snow will have to be
RELOCATED to ancient history. 1t does
storm in other places, but so far as
the memory of the oldest ~inhabitant
can decide, Laramie hasn't had real
rain since the last night of the street
fair August 24th-when actors ana
audie ace absorbed considerable mois'
ture 1T 'The Girl from Bagdad." The
moon has changed now and the pre-
diction is for a continuation indefinitely
of the dry and sunny weather.
Mrs. Elmer Lovejoy was the hostess
Thursday afternoon at n of the most
brilliant and enjoyable parties of the
season, the function proving to be a
veritable s%ojourn in Japan. The rays
of Old Sol were barred out and the
glamour of artificial light accentuated
the beauty of the novel scene, Japanese
trinkets having been utilized for deco
rations with a lavish and artistic hand.
Mrs. Lovejoy's pretty home has recent.
ly been remodeled and furnished an
ideal setting for the adornments. Huge
Japanese umbrellas shaded the cleo
troliers and gay balloons fiuttered here
and there, while Japanese fans, dolls.
villas and other trinkets were prettily
used to complete the novel effect. Eu-
cards were charming affairs in leather,
artistically decorated with characters
tic Japanese scenes in typography.
Pieces of Japanese ware and brio brac
were awarded to the most successful
players and the guests were hidden to
select favors at their pleasure from
the Japanese trinkets used for decora-
lions. An elaborate luncheon was
served, Mrs. Lovejoy being assisted by
Mrs. C. l.. Rauner, Miss June Oakley
and Miss Grace Peale. The ladies in
