Such absolutely perfect weather is
never enjoyed anywhere but in Wyo
ming, and devotees of society are evi
IDENTITY taking a vacation Thai advan
tagc may be had of every golden
glorious moment. Automobile parties
are quite the rage, many Of the ladies
driving their own machines, surround
ed by a bevy of chatting. laughing
friends. Flowers may fade and leaves
may fall, but who can feel a pang OF
sorrow when sunlight gilds the world
with gold? Under the leaden skies
and beneath the heavy clouds of less
favored states hearts bow down to
natures requiem as sung by dying
blossoms and sadly dropping leaves
but autumn here is n of the happiest
seasons of the entire year.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Fred
Fisher and Mrs. G. A. Hunt were the
h%ostesses at n of the most delightful
functions of the week, the party being
complimentary to their mother. Mrs.
Colonel S. D. Hunt Of Cheyenne, who
still retains a very warm place in the
hearts of her old neighbors in Laramie.
The event occurred at the residence
of Mrs. Fisher, and invited to meet
Mrs. Hunt were Mrs. r. E. Fitch, Mrs.
Charles Houston, Mrs. DR.. Gardiner,
Mrs. Bogart, Mrs. G. e. Eggleston, Mrs.
A. S. Peabody, Mrs. j. H. Merriam,
Mrs. ]. T. Holiday, Mrs. Daniel
Brees, Mrs. Lansdell and Mrs. Leslie
Kennedy. The afternoon was spent
pleasantly in n%eedlework and a de-
licious luncheon was served by the
hostesses. Mrs. Hunt expects to re-
turn to her home tomorrow.
The young people of the Presbyte-
rian church gave an "up-side-down"
reception in honor of the university
students last night, the function being
under the direct management of the
Y. P. S. C. E. A large number of stu
dents were in attendance and after the
~graphaphone had been silenced by the
heroic efforts of one of the young la
dies, all enjoyed a delightful time,
various games and devices Willing
away the hours until r~efreshment time,
when cakes n ices were served.

A novel event announced for early in
November is the recital to be given by
Mrs. Trumbull, Miss Laura Lee, Miss
Grace Peabody and Miss Ethel Brown,
assisted by several other talented Lar
amieites, whose names will be given
publicity later. AS is well known, mu-
sicians serve the public continually
and under widely varying circumstan-
ces, being ready and willing at all
times to contribute pleasure by their
talents at functions private and public.
1t is a novel idea, therefore, that these
well known vocalists should plan to
appear under different auspices, and
their admirers will be quick to en-
brace the opportunity, not only for
hearing them, but to express in a sub
stantial manner the general apprecia-
ton Of the services rendered to the
public generally in this city by these
musicians. The concert itself will I'M
doubtedly be one of the best given
here in many months, and it will be
the farewell appearance of Mrs. Trum-
bull, whose sweet voice has been so
highly appreciated during the past
three years, but who is now removing
to California. Miss Peabody has just
returned from another year of musical
study in Boston, while Miss Brown &C
quired her proficiency under the mas
tiers of the Pacific coast. The versa
tility of Miss Lees musical talent is
too well known to need further COM
ment than that it is only equalled by
the generosity with which she has law
PIANIST, in which role she is not ex-
celled. The date for this concert will
therefore be awaited with interest by
all the music-lovers of the community.

young participants.

Mrs. Andrew Erickson writes from
Denver that she is having a delightful
visit. Mrs. jacobson has provided her
with a guest card to the sessions of the
Denver Woman's club, and also invited
her to the Friday noon luncheon,
which she attended yesterday and
found very delightful. DR.. F. H. H.
Roberts was to lecture before the club
this afternoon and Mrs. Erickson ex-
pected to attend.

Mrs. Simonis, a relative of the Godat
family of Washington county, Mo-, ar
rived on No. 4 for a visit with Mrs. Bel
lamy. Mrs. Simonis has been spending
some time near Saratoga, but is COM
ing directly from Rawlins, where she
has been the guest of Mrs. Godat and
Mrs. Donnel. Mrs. Simonis will re-
main until Wednesday, when she will
continue her journey to her present

tend the state federation of Women's
