SOCIETY EVENTS
OF The WEEK
BESSIE BAJLEY COOK. Editress.


The little god Cupid is evidently il
high favor in prosperous Laramie, a.
the outline of coming events for mex
week includes not only several valen
tine functions. but also a wedding
that most appropriate occurrence fol
the reign of the King of Love! The
weather is ideal and it appears that
we are to have the early spring pres
aged by Mr.. Grounding. Ash Wednes
Gay falls upon the 18th this year,
which @ an early Easter and that
too. is supposed to indicate a short
winter. Lent brings engagements pc.
culiar to itself and busy people never
anticipate much rest during the forty
days, hut ;,nly a variation of the cease
less round.
Among the particularly interesting
events of the week were the luncheon
and dinner on Monday, which were
given by Hon. and Mrs. w. H. Holli-
day complimentary to Hon. and Mrs.
William Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Bryan
has been an honored guest at the
Holiday residence on several previous
sojourns in Laramie, but this was Mrs.
Bryan's first visit here, and the occa.
sion was made especially memorable
on that account, Mr.. and Mrs. Holiday
regretting exceedingly that the illness
of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavett's little
daughter prevented her and the two
children from being members of the
party here also. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
arrived from Ogden during the night
and were driven at ono to the Holli-
day home, where they received num-
erous callers during the day. An ap-
petizing luncheon was served at ~
o'clock, covers being laid for Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan, Father Hugh Cummiskey,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Fitch, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. N. Hasenkamp, Mr.. ]. T. Holiday
and Miss Alice Holiday, Mr.. and Mrs.
Guy Holiday, Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Holli-
day, Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Fitch, Misses
Mary Ethel and Helen Holiday and the
host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. W. H.
Holiday. Mrs. Holiday was assisted
in entertaining by Mrs. Corthell and
the pretty girls who gracefully served
were the Misses Ida Langheldt, Neva
Nelson and Hazel Kennedy. The 5
o'clock dinner party was characterized
by the same charming informality
which made the luncheon SO enjoyable
and the wish Of the host n hostess
to make the entire entertainment as
nearly n%on-partisan as possible was
very obvious from the guest list which
included Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, Judge
Carpenter, Mayor and Mrs. C. D. Spald-
ing, Mrs. Emma Howell Knight, Mrs.
Mary Slavens Clark, Mrs. Mary Godat
Bellamy, MI. and Mrs. N. E. Corthell,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A. Miller, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. P. Arnold, Hon. Otto Gramm,
Judge H. v. s. Groesbeck, and DR.. and
Mrs. Frederick Monroe Tisdel. The
decorations were simple but very beau
tiful, consisting Of a magnificent mass

party at length adjourned, but before

Apples Flavor Cigars.
New York Press,

new YORK Press.
"Why do ! keep apples in the
desk drawer with my cigars said
the elderly business man with novel
ideas. "Because it gives them a fine
and distinctive flavor and also i'm
parts just sufficient moisture to keep
the cigars in excellent condition. I
discovered the thing quite accident
ally. Am fond of apples, you know,
and like to keep some around my
desk for nibble or two occasionally.
Generally [ kept the fruit on top Of
my desk, but one day the dust was
so bad that [ resolved to place the
apples in drawer. There wasn't a
drawer sufficiently empty for the ap-
pies except the one In which I had
cigars. It didn't look like a good
combination, apples and cigars, but
into the drawer went the apples.
"a couple Of hours later felt
the need of smoke. The delicious
flavor the cigar had surprised me. 1t
was of make I had been smoking
for years, but 7 never had noticed
that flavor before, and enjoyed the
smoke so much that I hit it up with
another from the same drawer. The
result was the same, and then the
presence of the apples with the cigars
suggested solution of the mystery.
From that time on I have kept
my cigars with apples, and have
smokes that are distinctive and a real
delight. Furthermore, the cigars
never get dry when they are with
the apples, and, at the same time,
never get too moist. Some of my
friends to whom I have explained
I :; thin" have tried othcr kinds of
strong Favored fruit instead of APP
Piles. One man insists that he gets
the most delightful results from or
anees; but apples suit me best, and
I stick to 'em.'

Removed at Last.

A West Point cadet, some years
ago was told by his instructor to draw
up the plans and specifications for a
railroad viaduct to connect two high
hills, between which ran small
stream.
In due course an excellent set Of
drawings was presented, one showing
the bridge i'll its completion with a
sketch OF the surroundings, an on
which sat two men, with their legs
hanging over the side, fishing. The
drawing was returned with the re-
quest that the men be removed from
the bridge.
Upon receiving tho paper the Sec
ond time the professor discovered that
his instruction had been carried out,
but that the two men were seated on
the bank Of the stream, still in quest
OF representatives Of finny tribe.
Again was the paper returned, and
this time with positive orders to re-
move the men from the drawing al
together. Imagine the CONSERVATION
which overspread the features Of the
"learned INSTRUCTOR" upon receiv-
ing the papers for the third time, to
find two little graves and tombstones,
with appropriate epitaphs, situated
near the bank Of the stream. His or
ders had been obeyed, and the men
removed altogether.
Needless to say that the cadet was
forgiven for his breach of discipline,
and the unintentional disrepect to
his senior officer was overlooked
