Show Hi J ; "With the Willies and the Wit 4:. bibibibv u i a . ... ,- i ynn.ii' HI li j Bloomers, and the peculiar .ideas of a few H j young women, have had a serious clash in Martha RjjKi'i I Royle King's "Cinderella." When invited to wear Kr J I the bloomers, two or three young women re- H)i ' f v signed, because they said that the panties would Bijj f ruin their standing in society. Just where this kj ' standing would be ruined is not known, for they B jj ' are not in society in Salt Lake. Then one or two K,! jealous young ladies were sore because some shop Hjjj! J 3 girls are in the cast, and it seems that the shop H.) j I j girls, quite naturally, skinned the others on looks. H Ml It is thought that the real idea respecting the Bjjj J 1 J bloomers is the fact that figures sometimes lie. Bi I j j At any rate, the clever performance will be the H'i j better without the ladies who have withdrawn. HjJ 1 The Bridesmaids' union is on a strike, and se- Hl J cretly there has been much doing for a week Kjj , J among the young ladles who are to appear at a H' a certain wedding in the near future. The affair Bli 4 is without precedent, and the Indignation has Hlj 3 been high, but at a solemn meeting, it was de- Bjf , I cided to hush the story up, so that it could not Kij'j' I possibly appear in print. That it is a thorough Kjh '1 secret is proven by the story below: B !n I During the summer after the announcement H ' I j of the engagement one girl after another was H i , j invited to be a bridesmaid. This compliment was H u not the only one conferred, but in addition, the B , I -i bride to be suggested a house party for ten days (preceding the main event. Of course everyone was delighted, for "the men" would be there, and after a week of never ending joy, perhaps everyone would drop down to San Francisco for a few days, with the aid of a bunch of chaperones. j 5 The house party was decided upon, and new gowns began to be ready. Lots of new gowns, for all of the maids are good dressers, and se- B I j cretly each girl was figuring on out-doing the B j' h r. other. The plan was a cinch for the people who H ' made gowns, and equally pleasing to the girls, H i ' for what girl wouldn't be delighted to have an ex- B ! fei cuse for half a dozen new make-ups? Then a B note or two began to arrive, then another letter, B j jTjj: then another, and the purport of them was that Bk i they were to come the day before the wedding Bjpi ft and leave, the day after, and that it had been WMu' J$ thought best to forget the house party. Bjjl r$jj t3 tiv i3 jU l The fatigue incident to the wedding would be nl iH enough for the bride, without the responsibility bBM Hm entertaining a bunch of charmers for a week. B f IB There was a inummur that ended in a roar, and B jl IS ow the gowns will have to be wasted on the Bs. Vf desert air at home, all of whicTi suits those who mu- f . enjoy we'l gowned women. But the wave of ln- Bi I Ulignation did not end the matter, for one fond mother insists that her daughter cannot go to California, and one other is still undecided. Much ado about nothing, to be sure, but a matter of great moment to those most concerned, even if it is a deep secret not to be told outside of a dozen pink tipped ears. The devotion of that young Englishman to that attractive little widow is most strenuous. Almost daily they take long, long walks in the country far from the city throng, and I wouldn't be surprised to wake up some morning and read of one of these sudden marriages which happen now and then without the beating of torn toms, and little white boxes of cake for the invited. d tv t And now I'm told that the young lady who has outgrown three sets of trousseaux is looking for a house. In fact I saw them walking the other day, and the walk for a block or two looks very much like a house hunt. That is just as it should be. It is purely a love match, a rarity nowadays, and to use a streotyped expression, "Their hundreds of friends will rejoice in their happiness." i5 t You're unfortunate if you didn't get a card to Mrs. Charlie Walker's at homes. She will entertain enter-tain a lot of friends every Friday afternoon at her exquisite flat, an awfully nice idea, is it not? You know the men are invited to drop in about four or Ave, a very charitable act on the part of the lady. But Salt Lake men are not wise to the fun at one of these little afternoon affairs, and there are some who may plead business to stay away. The men who will be there hope that the others will stay In the office at least those whose wives are present. tv &fc t5 Katheryn Geddes goes to Denver today and will return with Kitten Dillingham. The most intimate in-timate local friend of this charming Denver girl vouches the information that tVe rumor of Miss Dillingham's engagement is absolutely false, and that she is heart whole. Let us fervently hope so. &V 6& The Donnellan-Falls wedding is the next thing on the social tapis. It will take place In Sacramento Sacra-mento on Wednesday, the eighteenth of November, Novem-ber, at high noon, and will be a large and brilliant event. And, by the way, I notice thatit is now Captain Cap-tain Falls. Congratulations. &fc cJv Mrs. Ben Davis was hostess at an extremely pretty card party on Wednesday afternoon, enjoyed en-joyed by fifty ladies. Japanese decorations were used throughout the rooms, which were quaintly beautiful, the shaded electric lights and masses of chrysanthemums chrysanthe-mums making the scene most effective The Japanese Jap-anese idea was carried out tn minute detail, making the affair one of the moat enjoyable of the week. t5 t5 i Mrs. Fred J.
