While Salt Lake's four hundred have kept the even tenor of their way during the past week and there have been no very stunning parties among the extra-exclusive, extra-exclusive, a number of very pleasant gatherings are to be noted in which the round of pleasure spun about the social wheel with as many delightful turns as on the more superlative occasions. Thanksgiving week brings with it many homo duties that consume time nn I tax tho ingenuity of the household in tho arrangements for family reunions, and many relatives were received "at home" on that day on whom the high society lines of exelusiveness are sometimes some-times almost cruelly drawn. The turkey is a common leveller, and brings ail mankind together about tho festal board, whetting its appetite to tho same kind of meat. "There are no marriages in high society so-ciety any more," said a lady who is bordering very closely to the passa period, and she continued in this strain: "There are funerals and births but no marriages. What is to become of us?" she asked with a rather wicked twitch of her facial muscles. "Here is a set of my own age hovering about 27, and while they have an occasional beau, tho men do not take to us seriously, but play with us for pastime. Then there is another set, somewhat younger, say from 2H to 25. that are beginuing to monopolize our old admirers. Then there is the bevy of girls from 18 to 20 who will shortly come along to keep company with the old bachelors who courted in their time not less than a dozen sets of girls, tailoring down from tho au's to the 'buds' of 10." has more beauty at twenty-live than at eighteen is welcome news. This will be especially encouraging to tho set whose ages are Hearing the thirties, and during the dearth of marriages mar-riages in high society, it is a piece of information that will do to hang on. The occasion of an appearance of the Homo Dramalio company should be made a society event of the greatest importance. The members are entitled to all the distinction that can be conferred, con-ferred, both by their histrionic talents as well as by their social positions. How appropo to several rich men in this city is the practical observation of Max O'Kell that a man cannot own more than a million but that ho does not own it, it owns him. There aro several married men who are pulling tho striugs to make their entre into society as single gentlemen. When I first was introduced to them they spoke of their wives in terms of affection, but now they are as unnoticed un-noticed as if they belonged to the uu-mentionables. uu-mentionables. It is not like the old nursery ballads in their case: "Love is not badly taken twice." e Things were very quiet in society circles cir-cles this week owing no doubt to ' the numberless gayeties of the past fortnight fort-night and the departure of many fair visitors. The new Assembly club seems to be an assured success, as Mr. liidwell has already received over seventy subscriptions, subscrip-tions, and more to hear from. These parties are a continuation of tho over-to-be-rcmom bored "Pleasant HJurs" series. What is thanksgiving day without a home dinner among one's friends? Hardly one of the mauy men in society living here alone thought of remarking that, for Salt Lake hostesses, with their usual cordiality, looked after thoir ! friends iu a glorious manner, and many were the pleasant dinners that day shared by the strangers. Speaking of the strangers reminds me that there is a new club on foot to be called "The Travelers' Club," and is being worked up by many of the young men in society. It is especially designed for those w hose interests are here, but who have no homes of thoir own, and who come from other places. Such a club would meet with great success. suc-cess. As yet it is only in the first stages of organization. Miss Sadie Nash of ( Imaha, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. Y. Wallace Wal-lace at the Walner for some weeks past, left for her home yesterday, carrying with her tho best w ishes of a host of friends who deeply regret her departure. depar-ture. Miss Westbrook entertained a small party of frieuds at turkey Thanksgiving and in the evening at the theater. . "Salt Lake girls," continued this same lady, "persist in sticking to psyche knots after they are clear out of date. Twisting their hair in a long knot at tho back of the head and hanging hang-ing a half-do.en small curls, done up with natty frizzes, gives them a fast appearance, and Btrangers are often misled into believing that these girls are a set of giddy flirts when in reality they are some of our best society people." I know our society girls with poor limbs will feel bad on learning that stockings as part of ones bathing attire are to bo discarded at some of the fashionable fash-ionable resort i. It. will be very trying to those young ladies whose trim legs floated on tot) of brine, when passing under the grand stand. The stationery recently sent out by certain otherwise very fastidious ladies has been tho subject of no little comment, com-ment, and should it gel to tho ears of those most interested it would cause them burn for some time, at least. Whether or no these ladies had consulted con-sulted tho form prescribed in Ward McAllister's "Society as I Found It," I do not pretend to say, but that it was rather shoddy for such a gilt-edged event goes without saying it and that on a very short tour of inspection, i ' . The second of the "St. Mark's Parties," Par-ties," as thoy lately seem to bo popularly popu-larly called, was held in St. 'Mark's schoolhouse Wednesday evening, instead in-stead of Friday, tho usual club night; tho young directors having concluded that a dance on Thanksgiving evo would put them in an eminently proper frame of mind for the ceremonies of the following day. 1 The attendance was large, tho music good, and tho dance a delightful success, suc-cess, perhaps none the less bo by reason of the informality which is tho rule of these club parties. At 12 o'clock the dancing resolved itself iuto a "German,'' "Ger-man,'' led by Mr. Downey, who piloted the dancers through its intricate figures until the very small hours of tho night. Among those present were: MA DA MRS. Mrs. A. K. Smith. Mrs. J. F. Allen, Mrs. Georgo Y. Wallace, Mrs. Morlaii, Mrs. Charles Rookledge, Mrs. George Downey, Mrs. Kincaiilo. SIISSKS.

Society seldom regales itself in as gay attire as during a season of grand opera. The engagement of Flmma Abbott, Ab-bott, coming as it does, during holiday week, will contribute much to the eclat of Christmas and New Year festivities. Before going east Miss Imogene Williams Wil-liams told me in dead earnest that she would not marry for at least a number of years that she couldn't aflord to as she was having so much fun. It was so like her. and again, it was so like a woman to go off arid get engaged all to one man aud let her old frieuds shiver in the cold.
