'HE younger society folks arc much interested in the junior prom, the 5t importaut sociul event of the uni-tsity uni-tsity year, marking the culmination MiBs Gladys Richmond, ono of Salt Lake's most popular young society women, who left last weok for an extended visit to Boston. of the festivities of junior woek, immediately imme-diately following the close of the first semester. With examinations over and ouc-half year's work completed, the young folks give themselves up to celebrating cel-ebrating the relaxation from strenuous application, as firm advocates of the theorj- that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boj" The junior prom this year falls on Friday, February 0'. It will lc given at the Hotel Utah and about 600 iuvi-la iuvi-la lions will bo issued. The young folks are already busily engaged in arranging arrang-ing their decorations, their "work par-tics" par-tics" being given up to this pleasant occupation. The color scheme will be carried out principally in purple, and graceful wistaria vines and blossoms will bo fashioned to twine about posts and t'rain over doors, and archways. A profusion of cut flowers will also be used in the decorative plan. Professor McClellan and the Liberty orchestra have been secured to furnish music for the dance and. a promenade concert will be given ou the mezzanine lloor preceding pre-ceding the ball. The executive committee com-mittee arranging for the cutertaiunient comprises Miss Mario Gaby. Will Ar-gyle. Ar-gyle. Sherman Lilly. Armorale Dixon, Claire Wilcox and Pearl Ruddatz. Peter Kinney is business manager. The programme pro-gramme is occupying much of the committee com-mittee V attention and somethinc unique is promised. OMMKNTIXG on the marriage ceremony, Helen Dare, In the Sau Francisco Chronicle, somewhat cynicall- observes: Time was when reckless folks rushed -into matrimony eyes shut, head down, teeth clinched, as it wero; heedless of the terms of the ceremony so long as they could murmur or gasp the right re-spouses re-spouses in tho right place and get it over with without kissing the minister instead of the bride, or trying to force tho ring on the best man's finger. Seldom did Uu-'X. A'ad carefully and cannily what was "nominated iu the bond," or pay serious attention at-tention to what they wero letting themselves in for. But this doesn't seem to be at all the attitude iu marrying now Where once the contracting parties entered into the matrimonial matri-monial agreement as blithesome' and uninquiringly as the average I person amiably signs a petition, I thoy are now as cautious and inquisitive in-quisitive as to the terms of tho contract as a prudent business man is about the wording of a promissory promis-sory note he is asked to indorse "just to oblige a friend." On the last day of the year, in Xew Vork, and a few days before that, in St. Louis, two inatro--mouially determined couples, remote re-mote from and unknown to each othor, gave tho accepted marriage ceremony such searching analysis that they blue-penciled out of it the words "lovo"' aud "obey." And not because as each couple frankly declared they refused to love each other, or were reluctant to lender obedience. Just as shrowd business men entering into partnership oxamino tho articles of partnership, or far-seeing far-seeing tenants study tho specifications specifica-tions of a lease, they noted and weighed each phrase of the hitherto hastily-swallowed marriage mar-riage service to discover what it demanded of thoin. They did not deny, iu either case, that love was the motive 'for their marrying; but perhaps deterred de-terred by the disastrousncss of ox-ccssivo ox-ccssivo seif-confidence as revealed by tho divorce courts they did not feel equal to pledging themselves them-selves to Joviug on and on indefi-nitily. indefi-nitily. They didn't want Io be compelled to lovo; to biud them selves to do a thing that is at best uncertain, elusive aud involuntary, aud beyond the power of the will. On the point of committing themselves to "obey" their husbands hus-bands tho brides wore of one miud, though strangers that obedience, or as they preferred it, compliance, would como naturally iu a loviug and loyal relationship, when reasonable; and that it wouldn't, bo worth while, or consistent con-sistent with solf-respect, in' any other sort of relationship between adults. It is a small sample of "peace ful revolution1' that is modern to the minute; aud indicates how much more conscientious, analytic and scrupulously precise wo are or how much less romantic. The "obey" clause in the marriage service has always been made a matter of comment, and brides, usually jestingly, jesting-ly, havo iusisted that it be omitted from the ceremony which linked their destiny to another, but that sentiment and romance are loss in evidence in weddings than of yore will hardly be admitted by those who plight their vows of life's devotion. Tho bride of the new year of 1014 is just as sure that the man she has chosen is a hero as the maid of old, who welcomed the return of her plumed knight from brilliant bril-liant achievements in bravery iu the romantic middle ages, aud the happy bridegroom is just as confident that the up-to-date young woman who pledges herself to "love and obey" him, with a smiling reservation as to the "obey," is the fairest; and best in all the world. Then in spite of tho cynicism of the modern iconoclnst there arc still "Darbys" and "Joans," who go through life with the same loving devotion, de-votion, and if not. blind to cu'h others faults, at least gently tolerant of them, alwajs fast friends, buou tompauious and sentimental sweethearts to the end of the journcv.
