Show H Revue De La Ville ONE of tho most important society events of -- the winter will be the wedding of Miss Ade- HJ laide Woodruff, the charming and accomplished II daughter of Mrs. Russell Coe Woodruff, and HRn Lieut. George W. Brodie, Jr., which will take Hit place next Wednesday evoning at St. Mark's ca- BIMji thedral. Hfl It is believed tliat the church, will bo open for IH gatherings by that time, and that no change in KH1 the plans will be necessary on account of the H distressing conditions arising from the epidemic H of influenza. IH A largo number of invitations have been is- NH sued, and the event promises to be one of the IH really smart affairs of tho season. IH Since the announcement of the engagement, IH Miss Woodruff has been the honored guest at any IH number of luncheons, dinners and afternoon af- IH fairs, with more to come preceding the ceremony. HH Those who will attend the bride to be are: Hj Mrs. John Daire Van Cott as matron of honor, MM nn(l the bridesmaids, the Misses Margaret and HH Sybil Walker, Dorothy Bailey, and Marjorle Bid- H well. i Numerous heirlooms of beauty and value are In expected to be seen among the presents and in IH the attire of the bride. Her mother was formerly II Miss Florence Kimball, tho Kimballs being among Hll the oldest and most prominent families in the city, Hjf and properly, Miss Woodruff, the only daughter, H& will receive tho many beautiful things that have been in the family for years. The young people will go to Port Benning, Col- ! umbus, Ga., where they will temporarily reside. In iTTTHBN another fellow gets tho girl or anothor W girl the fellow, it is up to the other to be a gamester and not run around talking about a sue- cessful rival, or pouring out the woe of a heart L - bowed down. H But there is one young lady, fairly young, who 1 persists in doing both, though her heart's love is HR far away with his bride, and has been for quite Hn some time. Her friends cannot prevail upon her fln to forget it, and now when they see her coming HBJ they try to escape, for she is turning what was a Hft rather attractive girl into an embittered old maid, Hm and unless she reflects and changes soon, her Ht' chances will be gone. I have heard that she sel- H dom changes the subject in private, but her res- HLS taurant conversation is a harp on the same per- Hm son who outran her in the stretch, and can usually HII be heard by those at tho surrounding tables. Htj Girlie, girlie, the sea is still full of fish that have Hj never been caught. I MRS. SAM NEWHOUSB is on her way to Salt . Lake to make u visit of several weeks. Her Hl mother, Mrs. M. A. Stingley, recently arrived and Hra the announcement that Mrs. Newhouse is coming H to see her and her host of friends is most wel- Hf como news. Hf; She has been in London and Paris during the Hj greater part of tho war, and is coming home for a H much needed rest after the strain incident to the Hl unceasing work every woman in London society HL has dono since the beginning of the conflict. Hf No more charming woman or more gracious HlJ hostess jGor resided here and her smart friends Hll are preparing to make her stay very pleasant. LIEUT. WILLIAM JENNINGS, son of Mr. and rnui Mrs. "William C. Jennings, arrived home dur- vH.J ln tue week, and may remain here permanently fH. though tho wanderlust is strong within him. Hr Ho does not intend to remain in the army now H ,, that tho war is over, but ho has nad a most in- H teresting experience since entering the service. Hj He has been quartermaster on a transpoit plying H between New York and Brest, and has crossed the Hl Atlantic five times since assuming his duties on the Duca iDaosta, an Italian ship in the service of America and her Allies. Young Jennings is a first lieutenant, but recently re-cently applied for a transfer in order to get in tho front lines. He was told that the change would be possible if he was willing to take a second lieutenancy with the engineers. He had just accepted ac-cepted and was preparing to return to Franco and the front when the news of the armistice changed his plans. Lieutenant Jennings was one of the first Utah men to be commissioned at the training camp at the Presidio, and has been in the service sixteen months. ' Ayf EMBERS of the Martha society in Ogden plan to give their annual charity ball on New Year's eve, providing that the flu ban has been lifted by that time. It will bo in honor of the re-return re-return of the men from overseas, and promises to be an elaborate event, though there have been so many deaths latterly among those of prominence promi-nence in Ogden that representatives of many of tho leading families will not bo present. ON Wednesday at high noon at the First Congregational Con-gregational church the marriage of Miss Grace Barry Cooke to Lieut. Com. John Lawrence Fox took place, the Rev. Elmer I. Goshen officiating. officiat-ing. Tho brido was attended by her sister, Mrs. RuBsell G. Graham of California, and Lieut. Com. Shirley Wilson was best man. Only the relatives and a few Intimate friends were present at the ceremony, which was followed by a luncheon at the Utah. Lieutenant and Mrs. Fox are spending their honeymoon at Del Monte and Coronado, and will later go to San Diego where Lieutenant Fox is statined. NEWS of tho death of Lieut. Col. Sherman White in France was received during the week. Colonel White, who was one of the most popular offflcers in club and society circles here several years ago, married Miss Grace Jacobs, daughter of. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Jacobs of this city. She, with her boys and mother, is now at the Presidio. In this sad year there are so many deaths to chronicle that there is little time to think of any joy In life, for not a day passes but brings a sorrowful reminder of the pleasant friendships of yore. Poor White. He was all that his name implied, and the friends who knew him best will grieve with those nearer now left desolate. |
