Show K With the Willies and the Wits. Hij'H A Mr. and Mrs. John Dorn announco the engage Hi jfl ment of their daughter Mathilde to James Cham- B,l I, bers Dick, the wedding to take place November Hil f 25th. H ) The above announcement is one of those pleas- HP ant social surprises that come now and then Hj' j when most unexpected. There have been rumors Hjj v of this engagement for several weeks, but it has K ' ', been a difficult task to get a definite word out of Hjj ' the parties most interested. Hf Miss Dern is a charming girl, and most popu- Bs! lar in the smart set, and Mr. Dick is one of the H 1 ;' bestNlked young men in the city. H f The wedding will take place at the Dern home H i on South Temple street. fl t& 5 w H It is understood that "Fritz" Dern will soon H i jj leave the shelter of the parental roof for one of Hj'fj'l his own. The lady's name is not mentioned, but H'' i he gets a transfer to Sixth street pretty regu- Bp larly. I, , & & & iiH'i Bj' The nerve of Polly Pry. Listen to what she t says: Mrs. Sam Newhouse is spending a few m it days in Denver en route to Salt Lake. What a ' pity it is that this beautiful, gracious, generous, m 1 i j public-spirited woman should make Denver mere- m i . i ly a stop over between trains, when by good H' I rights that magnificent home of hers should have HFif I been built in Colorado instead of Utah, and the llU I queenly mistress of it should, when she was in H j3 this country, have presided over and led the so- flU I cial set of both Denver and the Springs. BJlJj I Mrs. Newhouse is the only woman this part BIStR" "G A" cs- kas Produced whose charms of per- Hffjj'fi sonality and purse gave her immediate entre into H f the most exclusive Newport inner circle, and the J only one we can point to with pride as being in Mf j "the King's set" on the other side, ft d i j And to think that Salt Lake instead of Denver m I j ji gets the benefit of what might have been our one K It $ claim to international recognition! v P I And why should Denver be the place for the m 'I beautiful home? Jealous, grasping Denver, that is K g, sore because Sam Newhouse in spending money B m ; where he makes it. H if i Perhaps some of those Denverites have seen H & 1 "Salt Lake" after the name of Newhouse in Lon- Hfjjj don and Paris, and naturally the sound of the Hf 1L i words grates on the ear of society that wishes Hfjffilj!: I "international recognition." iiHm -CMm Q H Bi' J Fine bluff that old boy is putting up every Hf'f i night riding home on the Fiist stret car with H'f iC the girl young enough to be his daughter. Hfj W Wonder if she doesn't know how very married Big I he is? Smart Set predictions went astray on that first night audience at "Ben Hur." There was a sparce scattering of society, but the house was not representative of the usual theater goers. v5 t5 i Charlie Stanton (Major) readied town on Monday with Clem S.chramm, remaining here during dur-ing the week, till his shore leave was up.
