10 stor, either. Such weather Ia very
uncommon in Laramie and we natural

lily at Suniby's to chronicle the noun
tain functions. They have card par
ties, thimble parties and Kensington

costumes Gonned for these jolly gath
erings are unique and interesting. Va
cation time Is drawing to a close, how.

In a couple Of weeks to send the chill.
