Show B J Society Satititerina J HI Dear Old Pal: H It has been a shivery week, and no one had HI the sense to help warm it up a bit. Teas, lunches Hi and luncheons, dinners and proper bridge parties H where thay wont play for even a cent a point, Hi and there you arc Nothing out of the ordinary, Hf not a soul with life enough to think of some-Hi some-Hi thing having a semblance of originality. Not an H idea, even at the places where we used to have H such rip-roaring dinners, and it is lucky for you H that you are far away, for if you are anything HI like I am, you'd lose your grip in this vale of HE nothingness five minutes after you got off the Hi train. HI There is little enough to write, but since you Hi insist on something every week, I'll tell you H what I can put on paper and you must come home Hj to hear the rest not that I'd ever gossip, you H know that, old pal, but at times there are things H one can't help seeing. B There's a tea at the Country Club today, and M I suppose I'm due to take a run out on the B hill and try to make Mr. Holman tell me some- H thing of his game of golf. He trims the young- H sters out there all the time, but he's so reti- Hh cent that I can't get a word out of him about H his game. Mrs. Ellsworth Daggett, Mrs. R. H F. Haywood and Mrs. T. B. Beatty are hostesses H for today, and I'm supposed to do whatever I can H to help entertain. I'm a little sore though about H the treatment accorded me on the opening day H last Saturday for an approaching contest was an- M nounced, and at the hour set, not a soul came near M me. Gee, you should have seen the stunning H coats on the veranda at the opening of the Hj Club, and the women inside of them surely knew H how well they looked, for they wouldn't take H them off once. I'm going to cut a wee chunk H of ice myself today, and if it is cold enough I'll K haul out the sables again. Warm, well they're H all to the mustard, and if I sport them, some lucky B fellow will buy me a good dinner. H I am inclined to believe European trips as well H as politics make strange bed fellows. I got a H postal from Berlin today signed by Ellis Freed H and Dr. Ullman, and now I know that future his- H torians will be obligod to change that little fancy H about making Rome howl from the Italian city H to the Fatherland. H Speaking of trips across, Sam is going to race H all over Europe in a bubble this summer, you'll H probably meet him in Nice. What do you think H the mean old thing did last Sunday. Took a H bunch of the best fellows in town to the Cac- H tus, and didn't ask one of us girls to go along. H I donl' know how he dared. H Did you hear, but of course you haven't yet, H that there is a Sidney Hooper, Jr. Put in his ap- H pearance last week, and he's the finest little chap H you ever saw. I never saw a happier pair than H those Hooper people. You ought to see their cunning home. Really, under such circumstances I think that even you would be willing to settle in the country. But that has nothing to do with the stork, who is really very busy just at prosent. In fact I think he has a number of precious gifts for the smart ones besides the son and heir at the house of Hooper. There is no other word but stingy for the men who are planning all sorts of fun this summer. sum-mer. They say a girl spoils a fellow's tennis game, that she is a nuisance on a camping trip, and now the whole Commercial Club is going to a city of new angels, and wee all to be left out of that.. Either I've lost my cunning, or I'm a dead one, and as my friend at the play the other evening remarked, "I'd rather be dead than a dead one." Our mutual friend, Doc Critchlow, has 'been captured at last. There, I knew that would make you wince, but you are not the only one. You know they are out of the habit of making them any better than the Doc, and it is a lucky girl whose wedding will take place at Hailey week after next. The Kirkpatrick girls are back from Butte, and if they go in for entertaining at all we will enjoy some novelties before they go to Tahoe for the summer. I heard that they may spend a month at Goldfield also. Lots of people are coming and going, and some things have happened that I must be sure of before writing you, but I think I can tell you next week. In the meantime, I mustn't bore you, old pal. You are having a peachy time I know, and I envy you, but dear, don't marry any of them. If you're foolish enough to think of the blissful state, get a good American. I accepted two this week. TESS. tfv J yV It is hard to make a woman get on the right side of the street when she wants to board a car; It is harder to make her get In line wheu she wants to buy tickets at the boxofflce, but the limit is reached when ladies insist upon doubling on a line and mashing their way back to the hostess hos-tess to pass out a long and fervent farewell. It is ridiculously bad form for one thing; it is hard on a thin woman, paralyzing on the fat ones, and a nuisance that has become ao pronounced that it is time to reform. If it continues, the smart hostess will provide an aerial tram for the return trip. $c ? t The finest thing that Grover Cleveland ever did was when he wrote that article on voman's clubs for The Ladies' Home Journal. If he will continue educational work of that description he will solve the problem of what to do with our ex-presidents. |
