Due to the extremely hot and
sultry weather Of the past two
weeks, Winnemucca's social affairs
have almost entirely ceased. The
evenings, which Winnemucca has
always been able to boast of as be-
ing almost chilly, have proven to
have been the opposite and it has
been almost intolerable to stay in
doors after dark, while to remain
outside the mosquitoes and other
insects make life miserable. In
order to evade these little pests,
those who have cars take themselves
and their friends out for a ride
until their homes cool off, and as
this is much more enjoyable oc-
cupation than sitting in a very
warm room or being bothered by
insects on the lawn, it has taken
precedence over the usual card
parties. A few hostesses this week,
however, have defied the weather
and will do their best to make their
parties SO enjoyable that everyone
will forget all about how warm it is.
A complimentary surprise party
was given in honor of Mrs. L. G.
