Show I Saunterings Hi Everybody who has the price and come to HI think of it, ?3 is a little stingy price will be at Hi the Hotel Utah a week from Monday night when Hf the Salt Lake Press Club will depart from Its H regular annual program, and provide a rip roar- H ing masquerade with divertisements in the shape H of some Press club jinks such as have made thou- Hi sands count 'em laugh before. Under the pat- H ronago of a large number of the most prominent HI ladies in the city, the boys will give their friends Hf a work out that will be just the proper thing to HI open the spring season with, though as in these Hi days the observance of Lent is really a tradition, H It wouldn't matter greatly when the gala event Hf occurs, just so it does occur. Mi As usual the boys are working hard and faith- B fully to make the affair the perfect success that m a Press club entertainment always is, and the M one who stays at home will be a lonesome one M fbr fair. H The thing to do is to get your tickets at once. B As the supply is limited, and no tickets can be B obtained after a certain number have been dis- B posed of, it would behoove those who have a de-B de-B . sire to attend the Press club joy dance to emu- B late ye little early worm, and demand the paste- H boards, because in the rush there is just a pos- H, sibility that someone may be overlooked. The Hi festivities will begin at 9 a. m., and end when- H ever any individual wishes to leave, but just as H , a suggestion, it is well to remember that a Utah Hi sunrise is a rarely beautiful sight. HI HI The newest thing in Partingtons is being ex- H ploited by a prominent family residing on the H northeast bench in the shape of a cook who has Hi her own ideas regarding the day and age, and the H departures from set rules taken by those who H I hanker for the bright lights. Her remarkable m expressions have furnished material for many a m laugh since her discovery, but one remark in ' particular caused a scream that is still re- B echoing around the smart set. A second maid i who was working in the samo house left suddenly Bp without warning after remaining with the family j long enough to attend a sale or two, and the cook B in commenting on her going, said: "These young B girls ain't no good any more, they just walk B around the streets and get lureded away, and the B first thing you know, someone capsizes them, and H that's the last you hear of them." H H The raging rag is growing to such an extent H that nearly everyone in society is forgetting how H to two-step, and despite the prediction that the H rag would prove a fad, it is growing in popularity H every night, and the contagion is spreading to H even the most dignified members among the din- H ers-out. Nearly everyone had succumbed to the H attack up to last Saturday night, though that H part of society known as the etiquetty set had H ostensibly frowned on the growing habit before H that time. Then Fritz Leon gave a dinner a H great little dinner for a select few, and with it H over, one daring spirit suggested that it was time H to rag. Couple by couple, those who knew how H and those who wanted to learn, began, and at last H the host and Jim Pollock fell for the fascinating H dance. That is the last word that spells the H eternal success of the dance here. The effort of H those two dignitaries puts the final stamp of ap- H proval on the uleasant diversion, and it would H not be surprising if the waltz as well as the two H step went by the board in the future. H H Friends and roses were very much in evidence H on Wednesday when the Limited pulled out for H Ogden with a party of Salt Lakers bound for the H way that is white and long, and a few other places H en route. Mrs. A. V. Callaghan, Mrs. T. A. Bald- H win and Miss Kath rine Judge composed the greater part of the party, and E. S. Ferry arrived in time to go along as far as Chicago and explain ex-plain the points of Interest on the way. A couple of painstaking florists arrived on the scene about thirty minutes before the train pulled out, and proceeded to arrange the numerous blossoms blos-soms they carried, in a compartment to which the porter directed them. When the ladies above mentioned arrived, they were shown to their drawing room which was just plain drawing room without a sign of a rose. Shortly afterwards, Ned Ferry opened the door of his compartment, and ducked back in the aisle quickly, thinking that he was in wrong and that the bride and groom had not arrived. The amazing bower had him going for a minute, but the mistake was soon discovered, and the ladies claimed their own. Given time and opportunity, the dressmakers of this country will eventually lure the women back to the immense hoop skirts of ante-bellum days. The trim hobble is hopelessly doomed, and in its place this season comes the panier gown. Three thousand dressmakers from all parts of the United States, recently assembled in Chicago ove inler, which is admitted to be the fore- runne hoop skirts. In two years at the latest, they predict, wide hoop skirts will be the rage. And then, Harold, what will become of the Turkey Tur-key Trot? In millinery the most startling novelty this season will be tiny electric lights in the hair. These are operated by a very small, flat storage battery worn in the corsage, and highly decorative decora-tive in itself because of its artistic design and jeweled effect. The light bulbs represent various tinted flowers, and are very fetching when arranged ar-ranged in the coilffure. Another pattern carries a storage battery in the crown of the hat, and is intended for evening wear exclusively where hats are not removed. Preceding the opening performance .f "The Pink Lady" the Heber M. Wells entertained several sev-eral of their friends at a smart dinner at their home on First avenue, the party attending the theatre and later an informal supper. Ah! Again we hear of "Jimmy" Archibald, who has now progressed as far as San Francisco on his way to China, the Spectator down on the coast having this to say of the gentleman: He hadn't been in town an hour before he con-lided con-lided to admiring listeners at the St. Francis that he was on the coast to see about erecting a three million dollar hotel at Santa Monica. And whom do you think he said was back of him? Who but J. Pierpont Morgan? "Jimmy" can no more keep Morgan out of his conversation than Mr. Dick could keep the head of Charles I out of his writings. He seems to be hypnotized by Morgan. Just nine years ago he blew into town and announced an-nounced that he had Morgan backing for the improvement im-provement of the Santa Cruz waterfront. He went down to Santa Cruz with plans, specifications specifica-tions and a look of surpassing wisdom. But nothing noth-ing came of the thing, and Morgan went on his way without investing in Santa Cruz. So now it is Santa Monica, And the dream is a three million dollar dream. "Jimmy" is no piker in these affairs. Now that practically everyone has mastered the rag, it s surprising how many are trying the more difficult Texas Tommy, and how well a number are doing it. Tho Frank Judges who have been in California for ninety days, have acquired the art in a way that has made their friends insistent for lessons, and the resultant development presages pres-ages many a surprise at the next real dance. Speaking of dances, a couple of charming host- HHHhHKHHHHHHIQIH esses are already arranging to give a small and select dance shortly after Easter, and there will also be an informal subscription dance limited to sixty or seventy of the chosen ones. As planned at present, it will not include the younger ? set, but in order to secure a place on the list, it will be necessary for everyone who wishes to attend to admit they will never see thirty again. The Ernest Bambergers gave the largest and most elaborate dinner of the week, the affa!r tak-ig tak-ig place at the Alta club on Sunday evening with covers laid for twenty. The dinner was given in the gold room which was exquisitely decorated for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Bamberger will leave for the east within a fortnight and will spend the spring in New York. Mr. and Mrs Onderdonk entertained at a delightful supper at their apartments in the Arlington Ar-lington on Sunday evening, the occasion being their eighth wedding anniversary. A dozen of their friends assisted in celebrating the happy event. Miss Marion Cameron of Baltimore wa3 the , hostess at a beautiful luncheon on Monday given i at the Hotel Utah. It took place In the main din- ( tng room with covers laid for a dozen, about a table prettily arranged in green and white in keeping with the prevailing colors of the Saintly birthday of the day before. Miss Cameron is a charming girl who is making many( friends during dur-ing her visit here. With her parents, she is residing re-siding at the hot& in honor of her guest, Mrs. William R. Foster of New York, Mrs. Lee Charles Miller entertained at a bridge tea at her home on Tuesday which J was one of the largest affairs of the season, and was attended by nearly all of the three hundred invited guests. By a clever arrangement bridge i was played throughout the afternoon, during the ' receiving hours, the hostess and tho guests of honor being assisted by Mrs. George F. Steihl, Mrs. C. P. Overfleld, Mrs. A. J. Gorham, Mrs. L. H. Farnsworth, Mrs. Frank L. Dodge, Mrs. A. J. i Hosmer, Mrs. J. C. Taylor, Mrs. W. L. McLeod, I Mrs. Aaron Keyser, and the Misses Bonnie Mil- ' ler, Elizabeth Allen, Dorothy Bailey, Dora Hall, and Florence Hamilton.
