Show H V Society EVefrts of -the XOeeK. V Hj The Saunterer in Town Talk wrote a couple of H items last week which, have a local interest from a H news standpoint, and otherwise. He says: M I chanced to see two well-known people chat- 1 ting together in the corridor of the Palace hotol, M the other day, and seeing them reminded me of H two little stories, in no way associating them, H hut characteristic of each. The one was Pat H Lamran,Uio -old -time mining man, editor and pio- H . neer of many western cities. The other wasMtss H Salisbury, niece of Monroe Salisbury and grand H niece of James G. Blaine. In the early days, hue H after Fair and Mack ay had made their great H strike, Pat Lannan at one time was in need of H financial aid, and, like many another man, turned H to one of these rich friends. It was Mackay who H offered him what he wanted, but in handing him H the check, for fifty thousand, I believe, Mackay H said: "Do you know, Pat, I have lent piles of M money, but there has been only one man that ever H paid me back, and that man I've got on my books H in big black letters. I can't forget him." H Pat Lannan used the money for the purpose he m desired it, and made good with it, so that when H the expiration of the note came, he was ready to H meet the obligation. He wrote the check and H pinned it on to the following; note: H "John Mackay Enclosed find your check for H fifty thousand, due this date, and don't you forgot H -to put my name alongside of that other fellow's, H damn you. PAT." B 5 v v H As I recalled the story, I looked up and saw the H old-time editor fairly beaming under some charm Hi of words with which the vivacious girl was bind-Hj bind-Hj " 'ing'him, and I"recalled what some reporter man Hl fnaasaid of her pthafshe1 wastlie most thoroughly' H unaffected American girl he had ever seen. At H one time in Salt Lake Miss Salisbury, with a very H aristocratic friend of here, was passing a new H building when she chanced co catch sight of one H of the workingmen whom she knew. "Why, Mike," H she said, rushing over to him, "I didn't know you H were here." They chatted a moment; then she H turned and said: "But let me introduce you to my M friend, Mrs. Willard-Potter-Brown-Asterbuilt." H Mike started to speak affably, but the Mrs. Wil- H lard-and-the-rest-of-it froze him cold. For a mo- H ment the girl was nonplussed; then she turned H, frowningly on the workingnlan. "It seems to me, H Mike," she said, severely, "that you do not treat H my friends with much cordiality." Mike was what H his name signified, and he saw the point. H fa fr & H Does that girl who greets you, with a blast of B sickening fragrance of Florida water, want the H impression to get out that she has spent the win- H ter at Palm Beach? H W w w H To be "left out" hurts lots of women who keep H silent about it, bulthe pent-up bitterness in one H young lady's well cracked heart is bursting forth H1 in the most venomous scandal the Smart Set has H f ... had to deal with in some time? And by the way, who is this doorkeeper for Virtue, who never saw the inside of a good home until the family moved to Zion? tx V tv The marriage of Rebecca Ashton Garlick and W. G. Van Home at Alexandria, Egypt, Is a matter of congratulation from his friends in this city, who thought him a confirmed -bachelor. Miss Garlick is also to be congratulated on her change of name. h Beatrice Cameron has compiled a book on "American Beauty," and a number of Salt Lakers are wondering if "they'll be there." Outside of the graft such as the books usually are, there are two local women who should be in such an edition. & jit I told several weeks ago of the elderly society woman who is called Mrs. Malaprop on account of h any bulls and aptness for saying the wrong .... It was she who called Knox Maddox "Mr. Dunlap" on account of some similarity in the names in her mind. Now she has outdone even her best previous efforts. Some well-known young women were at her fashionable home planning a fancy ball to be given soon, and Mrs. M. was asked for suggestions as to character and dresses. "Why don't Ethel go as a Mexican girl and do a cascaret dance?" she asked. She must have meant the Castanet, which adds so much to the Spanish national dance.
