The company that gathered in the
spacious room was indeed a hand
some one and was truly representa-
tive of the best social and intellect
ual life of western Colorado or of
the entire state for that matter.
From $3.50 pm. until the mid
night hour the Margery hall was
thronged with ladies and gentlemen,
with the ladies predominating in
number, as 1t was an affair more
particularly in honor of the ladies.
Over 250 guests were received and
welcomed during the evening. Num-
bered among the guests were not
few of the most prominent women
of Colorado-women who are recog-
nized as leaders, brilliant leaders, in
the social, club and political life of
the commonwealth.
1t was an occasion which those
who were fortunate enough to be
among the guests will always hold
pleasant memories.
The large and beautiful hall was
most attractively arranged and dec
GRATED for the occasion. Lavender
and white (the colors of the state
federation) and pink and cream (the
colors of the Grand Junction club
were successfully employed in pro-
ducing many effective decorations.
Lilacs and other cut flowers added
touches of lovliness here and there.
In one corner of the hall were the
state officers, the officers of the To-
cal club and the chairmen of the
committees. Among those in the line
were the following:
Mrs. f. L. Cole: Mrs. Hawley of
Fort Collins; Mrs. r. l.. Magill: Mrs.
Leroy C. Hedges; Mrs. Hollister of
Pueblo; Mrs. Bishop: Mrs. O'Leary

ances and the resealing of friend

merrily. Easy chairs and divans had
been scattered through the big hall
and the great room took on the ap-
paerance of a big drawing room.
1t was indeed a splendid and love-
ly scene that was to be viewed after
all of the guests had assembled. No
city in the country could show a fin
er looking gathering of people. The
toilettes of the ladies were most
charming, and there can be no doubt
that western Colorado possesses any
number of handsome women.
In one corner of the hall stood an
immense punch bowl and most de-
licious was the beverage served by
the young ladies presiding at this
dainty refreshment booth.
Beginning at about 9 pm. the
serving of the luncheon was carried
out. Thirty-four guests We're served
at time in the pretty banquet room
of the hall. The guests were seated
at small tables, each beautifully laid
and lighted with candelabra. At the
plate OF each guest was laid a sweet
carnation in one of the colors of the
evening.
The two-course luncheon was SUI
perbly prepared and was both dainty
and wholesome. Petty young ladies
of the city presided at the tables.

The Famous opening last evening
was undoubtedly the best attended
OF any similar event In the history
OF the big store. The people began
stringing In shortly after o'clock
and kept 1t up for couple OF hours
or more, the store being thronged
from one end to the other, the milIin-
cry department being specially at
tractive to the women. and it kept
those in charge on the jump to wait
on the crowd. The large floor space
up stairs had been cleared of car
pets. etc, and for an hour hundred
or more people listened to the musical
program, then dancing commenced
and by O'Clock, with dancers and on
lockers, there were 800 to 400 people
on the floor. And the punch. 1t
touched the right spot with most of
those indulging. Mr.. Rachofsky can
feel well repaid for the trouble he
went TO as the crowd fully bore evil

AN EASTER TRAGEpEEi


The spring sunshine steals in the
room,
And fills the place with light,
But hnbbys heart is filed with gloom
And naught can make it bright.
Before him on the table there
In pile some six feet high,
Unopened, but with wicked mein
The Easter dunn bills lie.
And what Of wife. you might ask,
Is she not there to see
Her better half in this dark hour
So filed with tragedee?
All, no, cruel wife knowing not
The tragedee in store,
Is parading on Fifth avenue
In Easter togs galore.
At last with courage born of fear,
Poor hubby starts to read
The sight of his pale, hopeless face
Would cause your heart to bleed.
Bill number one," he reads aloud,
Two hats some fifty plunks;"
A hat for Susie twenty-five,
o, Lord, my poor heart funks."
The bill drops from his fingers.
And he stares hard into space
Unheeding all the other bills
For hats and shoes and lace.

Oh would that l were rash enough
To fiee-take to the hills!"

Unto his bleeding heart:

And softly steals away

She looks for him In vain.
But though through weary years she

Once more the sun steals in the room,
As a gaunt man old and gray
Steals up beside the table
Where some yellow papers lay.
From out another room there comes
The sound of rub-a-dub,
AS a woman bent and withered
Is toiling DER the tub.
But the old man heareth not the sound
His eyes fill up with tears.

Through all these bitter years!"

As the farmer gathers hay.

And draws a dividend.
