Show Hj! I Saunterings HI A peculiar legal entanglement is now being Hrt unravelled at Kingston, New York, the compil- Ht 'i cations coming as a late aftermath of the acci- Hi dental killing of Mrs. L. C. Tuckerman, by a Hi brother of Mayor Busse of Chicago, in that city H some time ago. H. Mrs. Tuckerman lived at Fort Douglas when H ahe was the wife of Captain Bush, and as one of H1 tho famous GIrard beauties enjoyed great popu- H larity during her life here, where she made numer- H ous friends during a couple of the liveliest social : seasons ever experienced in Salt Lake. H Before his marriage, Tuckerman put his prop- HI erty in the hands of his uncle, L. Carteret Fenno, !of Boston, as trustee, for the benefit of himself and his wife and children, should he have any. y Tuckerman's fortune came from mining enterprises enter-prises Jn Mexico. Tuckerman created tho trust at his family's request. Shor after his marriage Tuckerman decided H to buy the J. Hallock Young farm at Milton, H "Ulster county, agreeing to pay $31,000. Mrs. HL Tuckerman, said to havo been one of the hand- B somst women in America, joined heartily In her Hi husband's plan for farm life, but expressed the H wish that the property might be placed in her M name. Her father, Brigadier-General A. C. Girard, H called it sheer folly that would lead to serious M trouble. Other members of the family advised M against granting her whim, but she clung to it, M and Tuckerman agreed. M To get funds to buy the farm Fenno gave his M personal note, and the money was supplied by the m Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company. , The agreement provided for every possible con- m tingency, except that which actually occurred m Mrs. Tuckerman's death before that of her Kus H' band or the children. H, An action in the supreme court to impress H the Hudson River farm with the trust, and to ad- H judge the title to be in Fenno as trustee, was H begun in January, and has been tried oefore Su- H preme Court Justice Betts, who has granted the H xeuef Fenno asked. H Before marrying Tuckerman Mrs. Tuckerman " was the wife of Captain R. J. Bush, now com- H manding an Arizona army post. By Captain Bush H she had three children, but the Bushes separated H by divorce. The custody of the oldest child was H awarded to his father, and tho boy, Girard M. H Bush, Is in school at Berkeley, Cal. The custody H of the other children, Marian Girard and Alfred H Girard, was awarded to their mother, and after Hj her remarriage they were adopted by Tuckerman, H and now bear his name. J H In A. J. Lambert's special London corre- H spondence regarding the end of the social season B in London, I find a paragraph of interest indicat- H ing that this city is charmingly represented in H the exclusive entertainments of the highest and H the mightiest abroad. The excerpt reads: H Altogether the Ritz this week has been like a H society clubroom with a continued series of the H smartest luncheons and dinners between people H living in the hotel and a few habitues, liko Mr. H and Mrs. Anthony Drexel and Mrs. J. H. Smith. H One night Mrs. Stickney would dine Justice and H Mrs. Gerard; the next night the Gerards would H reciprocate, while Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mack- H ay, Frederick Townsend Martin, Clarence Jones, H1 Sanford Beatty, Mrs. W.

Mrs. Astor denied the truth of this report when she landed from the Oceanic this week. every attractive place, but it is rather unusual to encounter as many as half a dozen at one resort, re-sort, most of them unaware that the others were within a thousand miles. On Sunday last at the Chateau des Beaux Arts Casino way out on the edge of Long Island Sound, with not more than a hundred people there, three of the tables were occupied by people .who used to make the Country Club their headquarters head-quarters from May to September. And my Inform, ant tells me that though the meeting was unexpected unex-pected there was a real western reunion. ' The August event card for the Country Club is; out, and besides tonight's table d'hote dinner at seven o'clock and the hop, it includes the table d'hote of Wednesday, August 10th, the table d'hote and dance of Saturday, August 13th, a luncheon and card party for Wednesday, August Au-gust 17th, and the logular dinner and dance for August 20th. The table d'hote luncheon will be served Wednesday, August 24th, and on Saturday, Satur-day, the 27th, there will be a dinner and dance. The regular program for the month closes with the table d'hote luncheon of Wednesday, August 31st. o One of the most popular parties at the Country Coun-try Club was that of Wednesday evening, when Mrs. F. E. McGurrin entertained most of the younger crowd at a dancing party-in honor of their niece, Miss Margaret Bache. It has been an insufferab'.e week for every one, and Ingenuity has fled its post: In fact, the month offers mighty little that will whet the jaded spirits and appetites of thetwo hundred and twelve to any appreciable degree, let alone sprucing them up to anything more strenuous than a canyon party or a half dull party at the club. Miss Marie Odell has as her guest at Brighton her school friends, Miss Marguerite Williams, of Detroit, and Miss Elizabeth Holdeman, of Louisville. Louis-ville. Later Miss Odell will bring her friends to town for the rest of the summer. Mrs. N. M. HamiUon and her niece, Miss Lu-cile Lu-cile Clark, are at a house party in Boston. Mrs. Hamilton will be away for several weeks. One of the largest parties of the week Was that given Tuesday evening by Captain and Mrs. F. M. Bishop to celebrate Captain Bishop's 67th birthday. Among those who entertained Tuesday was Mrs. C. H. Doolittle, who entertained lor oignty of hor friends. Mrs. Sam S. Porter and Mrs. Wm. H. Child entertain en-tertain this afternoon in honor ol Mrs. Arthur G. Hertzler, of Pennsylvania, at the home of Mrs. Child on East South Temple. For her guests, Miss Lydia Boyd and Mrs. W. G. B. Terrell, Miss Lucille Franke entertained Wednesday Wed-nesday at a prettily appointed luncheon at the Country Club. " Miss Eva Larabie is in town as the guest of Miss Marguerite Richmond. Mrs. Robt. H. Allen was the guest of honor at a party given by Miss Louise Sullivan at the Country Coun-try Club Wednesday. At the quarters of her parents, Major and Mrs. Dwight E. Holly, Miss Adele Holly entertained enter-tained a number of her friends from town Sunday evening. Miss Charlotte Holmes and her brother, Dwight Holmes, are in Los Angeles, visiting their mother. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Dunbar have as their guests Capt. and Mrsi Lewis C. Baird and family, of Jeffersonville, Ind. W. J.
