without social gatherings or out-of-
town guests that the change is well
coined almost hilariously, certainly
most joyously. Among the prominent
society women from other towns is
Mrs. Jerome j. Day of Moscow, whose
husband, one of Idaho's former sena-
tors, has just been elected president
of the Idaho Mining association. Both
are popular. and their arrival in town
is the signal for delightful social activ-
tiles. Therefore, it was not surprising
when entering the pleasant apartments
of the Days at the Hotel Owyhee on
Monday afternoon to find a company of
congenial friends and acquaintance,
who, learning they had arrived in the
capital to spend few days, dropped
in by ones and twos until there was a
delightful assemblage with hospitable
host and charming hostess. Perfectly
impromptu and utterly informal, a
surprise to the hosts and to each other.
And the flowers! Friends of Mrs. Day
had sent in long stemmed pink and
white carnations and vioiets and ferns,
until they seemed to be growing every
where, and filled the rooms with
spring like fragrance and beauty. After
all, the enjoyment of a party, formal
or informal, depends upon the cordial
ity of the host and hostess, always,
and cordially is a shining virtue.
