Hi1 iHs'5S II tz tt tt K; j Nflfl II III i 11 1 I The most amusing incident of the late opera m I MB i season w? the exhibition given by a very digni-IH digni-IH I flflH I fie dwaSer w tooc 'tter daughter (almost the If i 1H I age of mamma) to hear "Carmen." From the first Hi fllW I entrance of the torrid Ivell, her expression was ml IlM I one of shocked surprise, and as the opera and l li'Hllf Miss Ivell progressed in the warmth of the oc- flffl , ,,, , 1 jiff If casion, the surprise grew to alarm, and she told HB l A 'I Ifl jF ' er daughter to shut her eyes and just listen to Hw, fflflHjf mil ' the music, not the words. She stood the first act, MM Ik 11 ilf I 1 hut the second was too much. The cigarette, and K Hlilllnl ' tue bibulous propensities of this Carmen person HI fllliiiy were more than she could stand, but they were M !ffl Hi 9 nothing in comparison to the fervor of her lov- JkWt 9: 1 9 In an(1 when the curtain dropped, the dowager gasped, and almost lost her dignity in escaping with her child from such environments. It 4s to be hoped that her sensibilities have been fumigated ere this, and that she is again receiving re-ceiving on her day at home. & & & The first night of the season of opera was a distinct dis-tinct disappointment to the first nighter who expected ex-pected a show in the audience as well as on the stage. It was a hashy audience, with here and there a little group of first nighters, but the chosen places were occupied by a new variety of rarities, and where you would expect a new creation cre-ation in make-up or dress, the object was distinctly dis-tinctly disappointing. The diamonds were hidden, and other things besides, and all that looked familiar fa-miliar to the average first nighter were the pro-cenlum pro-cenlum boxes, filled with the usual number of dashing occupants. There weren't half a dozen gowns in the whole house of the vintage of 1905, and the audiences of Tuesday and Wednesday evenings were far more representative. & & & The fine looking couple in the box with the Clifford Pearsalls on Tuesday evening were Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Moody, the principals in the romantic ro-mantic marriage recently recorded to some extent ex-tent in the daily press. After a courtship extending over two continents, conti-nents, Mrs. Moody left England for America and the wedding was to have taken place this week in San Francisco. But Mr. Moody met his bride here a couple of weeks ago, took her from the train, and they were married in this city. If you saw her Tuesday evening you couldn't blame him. & t &4 In view of the bountiful fall of the beautiful, the condition of the roads, and a few more little inconveniences, wouldn't it be better to postpone the lilac festival scheduled for the fifteenth of April? A real flower festival to take place yearly will be a great addition to the spring attractions, but the date had better be a little later on when all of the posies are abloom, or if it is to be strictly strict-ly a lilac affair, wait at least until the lilacs blossom, and lilacs will not be very much In evidence evi-dence till some flays past the middle of thia month. The Arbor day idea would be appropriate if it were not so close at hand, but the festival should be postponed, and when it is given, make it a gala event. Besides new motors are arriving almost al-most daily, and within another moifth the display dis-play of chug-chugs will be astounding, The Wallace Wal-lace Bransford's big car arrived during the week and many more are on the way. Postpone the festival. j 5 & Don't get the idea that because you happen to be in society, it is fashionable to pay the small trader just once or twice a year. He wants your trade, and he appreciates it, but. he needs the money, and can't carry you forever. There are days when the call of the banker is a lot fiercer than the call of the wild. w & J The marriage of Miss Gladys Ritor ana Mr. Kenneth Donnellan was an interesting piece of news for Kenneth's Salt Lake friends. The former for-mer local advocate of frenzied finance is now located at Tonopah arid Goldfleld, and his many friends here will be glad to know that he is making mak-ing a fortune. Mrs. Frank D. Hobbs and Miss Edith Hobbs entertained at a large reception on Wednesday, In honor of Mrs. C. H. Brink and Mrs. A. D. Melvin, who are about to leave the city. Hundreds of their friends called during the afternoon, and the hospitable hos-pitable home was beautifully decorated to recolve them. Assisting the hostesses were Mrs. T. B. Beatty, Mrs. A. A. Hosmer, Mrs. A. G. Andrews, Mrs. Harry S. Knight, Mrs. W. W. Armstrong, and the Misses Stewart, Derge, Breeden, Sappington, Hale and Crane. 0& yv (v Every time a musical entertainment of high order comes to town, the leaders are pestered with local singers who think they are ready for the grand opera stage. Half a dozen were turned down during the week, but I see that our own "Molly dear" got a testimonial from one of the singers. . $ W W Mrs. George Sutherland was hostess at a linen shower given in honor of Miss Nellie Gullen on Thursday afternoon.
