About forty people were present at the most H '", f I 8 I charmingly informal event seen here for some H r B , lime, and it isn't often, where several cliques ' H '-, m ' are brought together, that every one will "loosen M 1 IS up" as at tlie talker supper.

Wj ft Mrs. Babcock entertained at a beautiful din- ml II nor before the University Club reception, and an- ll II other notable dinner of the week was that of Iff I nl I Clem Schramm's before the assembly. The as- il fHi sembly was over an hour after the party left the 8 ii table, but it was really supposed to take place I '11" before the dance. ill ' H M j And speaking of the Assembly, it was one of Wm ' 'ifi ' the prettiest of the series, with supper served in H ,. m the Commercial club, the proper place for suppers ' 'I: following dances at Christensen's. It is to the credit of the patronesses that they were the first to drop on this improvement, and others would do well to follow the example. ta& ti& i& Society news away from home that has lately wafted eastward will be of interest to lots of folks hereabouts. The Burns Macdonalds are going to Denver to live, and Mrs. Clement will return lo Salt Lake in a couple of months. At present sho is in Mexico chaperoning a bevy of beauties from the states who are becoming versed in Mexican romance and bull-fights. Speaking of people who used to live here, the San Francisco papers are full of the troubles, now growing to white heat, between Capt. Elmore S. Taggart, U. S. A., and his strenuous wife. Capt Taggart was the village beau here in the old days, and there was a many a wail of woe when he left the city and subsequently married. Capt. and Mrs. Taggart have not been living together to-gether for some time, and the present trouble eems to be over the custody of the five-year-old boy, whom Capt. Taggart wishes to take to Manila, Ma-nila, and whom the too popular Mrs. T. wishes to retain in America. 5 w t One paper says: "Capt. Elmore S. Taggart, U. S. A., acting as quartermaster on the transport trans-port 'Sherman,' was not required to appear before be-fore Judge Hebbard in habeas corpus proceedings over his young son Friday afternoon, owing to an arrangement which had been made for transfer-ing transfer-ing custody of the child, whom Mrs. Taggart says her husband has detained at the Union Iron Works' dock with the avowed intention of carrying carry-ing him to Manila, when the 'Sherman' sailed. Capt. Taggart's attorney asked for a continuance until Wednesday and Mrs. Taggart's attorney agreed, on condition that the boy be delivered Immediately Im-mediately to its mother. "The child was turned over and continuance granted. "Capt. and Mrs. Taggart have been living apart for some time. "According to her statement the five-y ear-old boy Elmore, Jr., was allowed by his father to go to her hotel on Tuesday to have some dental work done. "This work was delayed, and the father invaded in-vaded the wife's apartments, carrying the child away by force. Taggart's attorney wishes to go into the affairs of the family on the hearing of the writ, but Mrs. Taggart's attorney believes that the writ hearing has not that scope, providing simply for the custody of the child." i 5 b5 The reception given by the members of the University Club at the formal opening of their beautiful club house on Thursday night was a most brilliant event, outdoing anything of the kind ever seen in this little city of handsome clubs. The artistic building, the crowds, the beautiful decorations, the music, the air of hospitality that prevailed In every nook and corner were beyond description, de-scription, but the fortunate members of the club are all to be highly congratulated over the success of the event. 10 i& Mr. H. V. Croll has just returned from Southern South-ern California, where he accompanied his wife, after her recent illness. Her many friends will be pleased to know that she is rapidly recovering. She is in Los Angeles, where she is located at 637 South Olive street. 1 ffi One of the prettiest home weddings of the week was that of Miss Jessie Miller and Homer P. Robinson, which took place at the home of the bride's parents on Wednesday evening, the Rev. Dr. Paden officiating. Only the family and intimate inti-mate friends witnessed the ceremony, and enjoyed en-joyed the reception which followed. & & & A quiet home wedding of the week in which society was greatly interested was that of Miss Ida Noble and Lewis Cecil Robinson, which took place at the home of the bride's father, W. P. Noble, on Tuesday last. The ceremony was performed by Father Kelly at high-noon, and was witnessed by the relatives, and a few intimate friends, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson Robin-son leaving Immediately afterwards to spend the honeymoon in the East.
