!. SOCIETY EVENTS
OF The WEEK
BY BESSIE BAILEY COOK.
5


The social side of Wyoming's first
annual Episcopal convocation was one
of the delightful features of the week
although, by request of Bishop Fun.
ston, no public functions were arrang.
ed this year. The delegates were pri.
vately entertained, however, and their
societywas thoroughly enjoyed by their
hosts. AT noon the visitors lunched
with Dean and Mrs. Bode n the gen
ial hospitality of this estimable cou-
pie was lavished upon them, and these
hours in the bishops residence will
always be recalled with especial plea
sure by all the participants. Next
year it is hoped that Bishop Funston
may consent to a public reception, so
that Laramie people generally may
have the pleasure OF becoming ac-
quainted with the interchangeable work
ers Of this great church.

The Eastern Star was decidedly in
the ascendant last night when the
members of that order entertained
friends at a country dance at North
Star hall, and early candle lighting
saw dozens of "Rubes and Rubesses
attirei in denim and calico largely
bound for the scene of the fray. Such
garb has not been donned here since
before last planting time and it took
some minutes for all to recognize each
other and admire the new clothes. OF

We had the pleasure of seeing such a
gay Inc giddy girl. Lills sash was
lovely and her hair ribbon was such a
contrast. Some enemy succeeded in
having her fined for the bows on her
slippers-such is jealousy. There were
plenty of other girls, but the exigen-
cies of the time limit us to the mention
of two only of each sex. After due
and dreadful contemplation of the
boys, we delunctantly trun away from
