smart circles in this former frontier
city, according to the latest gossip
emanating from tearooms. The ladies

The Cheyenne Country club is build
ing a new clubhouse. No provision
was made in the plans for a ladies'
smoking room. In fact. the only con-
sideration they received was a locker
room.
As the clubhouse began taking
shape the ladies held an important
conference and decided something
must be done. They asked the build
ing committee for a larger locker
room-one sufficiently large to be
used as a "rest ROOM
Not word was said about g ''smok-
ing room"
But sthe men interpreted the re-
quest, and the locker room was en-
larged. lighting arrangements changed
and other improvements made. so that
the women may enjoy an hours smoke
and chat there without being, observed
by critical men who may not think it
