always most successful and charming
hostesses.
Each of the parties might be called
"a shirtwaist and thimble party
and might also be called a Kensing-
ton, the hostesses not making it a
matter of compulsion that only shirt
waists should be the articles upon
which sewing was done or is to be
done.
The Lee home for this afternoon
was most tastefully decorated in flow
ers, ferns. etc. In the hall and in the
large living room profusion of
ferns, Easter lilies and jonquils
added beauty and fragrance to the
rooms while the dining room was
beautiful with its myriads of white
and yellow snap dragons and marg-
uerites.
The guests first engaged in sewing
and then papers bearing unique
story called, The Romance of a
Shirtwaist," were passed among the
guests and the guests were required
to fill in the blank spaces with the
names of various parts of a shirt
waist. This contest was a merry and
lively one.
Mrs. Henderleider, of Denver, de-
lighted the guests with two remarka-
BILE and sweet whistling solos.
The luncheon was very handsomely
appointed and was served in a lovely
manner. The colors, yellow and
white. were carried out in the ices
and the cakes.
There were other happy features
to make the afternoon an exceedingly
agreeable one for the half hundred
guests.

Miss Rost Well Known Here.

There are in Grand Junction a
great many friends and admirers of
Miss Greta Rost, the wonderfully
talented Denver girl, who has long
been regarded as one of the finest
contralto soloists in the West. Miss
Rost has been heard here on two
occasions with Joe Newman, the pop
ular Colorado entertainer, and she
visited in this city once since then.
Therefore the following from the
Denver Times of yesterday will be of
considerable interest:
Miss Greta Rost. contralto, who is
studying voice in London under the
direction of Henry Wood, one of
London's greatest teachers and di-
rectors, has met with great success,
and Mr.. Wood says she has a Won
derful voice and is born musician.
She has been engaged as soloist to
sing in the oratorio, "Everyman," at
the great musical festival TO be held
in Sheffield. England, in April. This
oratorio will be sung by a chorus of
500 voices.
Miss Rost was formerly contralto
at the Central Christian church, Dem
yer, before going abroad to study
music. She will return to Denver in
June to spend the summer with her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Rost,
1851 Steele street, but intends to go
abroad again in the TALL to continue
her study of music.
Mrs. Z. Z. Sands entertained in
formally last evening in honor of
Mrs. w. NJ. Gibson. who will leave
next Saturday for Durango.
Yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. b. W. Robbins new study
club was organized for the purpose of
making a study of Shakespeare and
his works. The membership is to be
limited to about fifteen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus w. Shores will
leave today for Florida. They will
visit Tampa, Jacksonville and other
cities of that state. and before re-
turning they expect to go to Cuba,
spending some time in Havana. They
will be gone about six weeks.-Den-
yer Times.
MIR. and Mrs. William Strachan, of
Colorado Springs, who are well
known in Grand Junction through
their several visits to their nephews,
the Milne brothers of this city, will
sail for Europe on the 18th of next
monthly They sail for Naples on the
s. S. "Mottre" of the Hamburg-Am-
erican line, reaching Naples about
the lst of May. They will visit the
Passion Play and see many other
European points before returning.
Mr.. Strachan has extensive interests
in the city and valley.

Two Delightful Parties
Given by Mesdames Lee

The first of two parties, at which
they will be the hostesses, was given
this afternoon by Mrs. James II. Lee
and Mrs. Werner B. Lee at the spac-

Ii. Lee on East Grand avenue. Over
fifty guests were entertained this af-
ternoon and about the same number
will be entertained tomorrow after
noon. The two parties will rank

Indian, and they swarmed on every
available portion of the deck, dispos
ing themselves in compact rows, like
sardines in box.
The ship was off again at dawn
feeling its way cautiously to avoid
the shallow places. There were six
first-class cabins on this boat, also
Hardy learned, which were given over
as matter of course, to the princess
and the general.
AS she continued her course for sew
eral days, it was necessary for Hardy
and Smulders to pre-empt places on
the deck for lying down, for the time

passed, the little captain made a trum-
pet of his hands and shouted across to
its commander: How much water is

confirmation by each report. Once
the men with the poles cried: Tres

steamer scraped on the bottom. At
Pokrovka, a dreary Cossack village

Shilka rivers, they found a smaller

CHAPTER xI.
Up the Amur.

The blackened ruins of Aigun and
Its grisly story of men and women
slain in that swoop of the Cossacks,
that awful picture of fire, slaughter
and rapine, and the thousands tram
pied by horses, cut down by the
sword, or driven to death in the turbid
Amur, illustrated. in Hardy's mind,
one phase of the advance of Russian
civilization; another and more pleas
ing phase was symbolized by the large
white gymnasium of Blagovestchepsk,
the first building of that progressive
modern city that could be seen from
the decks of the AleXsay.
Several hours were passed in
Blagovestchensk, during which Hardy
and Smulders tore about in droshky
and here it was that the former be-
gan to get an idea of that growth and
commercial activity of which Emery
had spoken so enthusiastically; for
Blagovestchensk has wide streets and
department stores, is lighted by eieC-
tricity, and is rapidly growing, as was
attested by the large number of build
ings in process of erection.
The imperial mailsteamer, on which
they embarked about dark, was a
much smaller boat than the Alexsay,
and of lighter draft. There were only
six first-class cabins, all forward, and
the poor princess was obliged to
squeeze into three of these the gener-
al taking the other three. Hardy man
aged to obtain an upper berth in a
second-class cabin aft, but was soon
driven out of this, as the Russian be-
meath him smoked some filthy brand
of cigarettes all night, lighting them
every five minutes with old-fashioned
sulphur matches, the acrid fumes of
which mingled with the smoke, arose
in sitting clouds to his nostrils and
filed the entire cabin. The Russians,
much to Hardy's surprise kept the
door and window tightly closed, and,
though he arose several times to open
one or the other, his fellow passen-
gers Immediately shut it again.
He arose at last, dressed and went
out on deck, taking his blankets with
him. The air was balmy and he soon
fell asleep, lulled by the breathing of
the engine and the whispering of the
waters. But he was not allowed to
enjoy his repose long, for about mid
night the passengers and the baggage
were changed over to another steamer
that drew a trifle less water and was,
unfortunately for the comfort of the
passengers, all save the princess and
the general, of sma,'er holding ca.
pacity. This new steamer brought
down the disquieting r'lmor that the
Amur and the Shilka, which latter
river formed the waterway higher up,
were rapidly falling.
Here, too. they took on a detach.
ment of Bouriat cavalry in faded,
dirty and dusty uniforms, returning
from some murderous and unrecorded
rad into Manchuria. They seemed

side. Then the pistol cracked twice
and the two Chinese fell sprawling,
with bullets through their bodies. The
other two promptly dropped the faint
ing women and started to run. Hardy
aimed deliberately at the one who had
seized the princess and fired. 1t was
a long shot, but the bullet took effect,
as a scream of pain testified.
Neither the princess nor the maid
evinced any signs Of reviving, but
lay there huddled on the ground as
though dead. Hardy ran to the edge
of the bluff and there, as good fortune
would have it, was the generals lotka,
and the general himself strolling
along leisurely on the sand. The
American shouted so loudly and flung
his arms about SO wildly that the or
derly, the two muzhiks and even the
governor himself were soon scram-
bling up the steep bank toward him.
The Romanovna had revived by the
time they all reached her, and sat in
the tall grass putting up her abundant
hair, woman fashion, and looking
about with awakening eyes. She was
as pale as a ghost and held out her
hands appealingly. Hardy and the
general helped her to her feet, and it
was the American who supported her
until her trembling limbs regained
their strength. The general surveyed
the dead Chinese, and then, standing
sQuarely in front of Hardy, removed
his cap and made q low bow.
At the next station they found a
small government boat, the Pushkin,
awaiting them, that drew only one
foot of water. 1t had been sent down
by the authorities to pick up the gen.
eral, and Courtland Hardy, execution
leader, was taken on board and one
of the four cabins was given to him,
although one of the greatest heiresses
in all Russia was thereby compelled
to occupy room with her maid.

Hardy frowned.
