Show ' J 4 Society Sauntering. J H I 0n of uur highly respected and prosperous IH citizens," as the Bird Center Blade would otfpross H it, was entertaining- a number of visitors recently, m and in the course of the sight-seeing that mag- H j netic spectacle, the Salt Palace, was approached H in awe and silent admiration. B ' "Dose pillers is ail salt," anounced the host, H and his guests were visibly impressed. Bj , t "And tell me, Mr. ," remarked one of the B strangers, "are they impervious to water?" H f Tlie local gentleman looked into the other for B r a second, just as you have Been him look a nun- B dred times, and shaking his head seriously, he re- B plied, "Veil, yes, dey is, but ve don't mind dat H afiy.H B vv The expense is all that stands between him, B j and a dictionary. B I & & B Some of the younger girls, are evidently profit- B j ing from the experience of a few of the older B ones, and though the sentiment is not to be en- B ' . dorsed for a moment, it was rather humorous to B hear a dainty maiden on the porch of the County B Club one day this week say, in the course of a B conversation regarding a plan to make the fel- B lows more attentive, "Well, you've just got to B spoon with the fellows lately to make them take B , you out- Three of them are going with me, and B X 'I'm so nervous.' " iK 1 jt t jt m You know, when the big boat slides away from B j, the Oakland mole, and the Frisco Jights are wink- K ing over across, and you get a long' breath of that K good sea air, you feel instinctively that there is H 3 something doing. Bji Perhaps you get acclimated after a while, but no Hp ' matter the point is this, there must be something B about the southeast corner of the yard surround- B ing the Amelia Palace, that has a romantic ef- B fect on tne people who promenade thereabouts. B At the dance given by Col and Mrs. Holmes B for their winsome guest, Miss Henrietta Holmes, B one of tUQ Quaintest sights of the evening, en- B s joyed by a large number of interested spectators, B ,) f was that of a pair of love-birds printer, spare B f the names who were evidently under the Impres- B i sion that position in life was everything, for the B ' way they clung to one another was almost cruel. B It has been said before that there has never been B ono of the many charming dances given at the B t beautiful home which was not productive of at Bj j least one engagement, and next. IHf & & & B :' I Miss Jessie Anderson,, who is viRiting Miss ! Mary Louise Anderson, will spend a couple of weeks with the W. H. Cunninghams before return- Ing to San Franolsco. B She is a little better looking every time she Brj i visits here, and appeared particularly attractive B I the first night of the "WIz," which she attended H I J with the David Keiths. Hflf Hj The weekly luncheons inaugurated at a certain Hp club are very popular with the ladies, because Bfj in this way a day is fixed for three or four little Bff cliques to meet and enjoy one another, but before the men will lend their support-Ho the luncheons something to eat must be provided. Clever glrjs are very charming pictures on a woodland back-giound, back-giound, and quite a treat at lunch time, but the modest plebian ham with egg accompaniment is great stuff for the hungry man after a few hours' hard work. . & & The prettiest woman in that first nighty audience audi-ence sat In the front row of th6 drdss circle, and was the observed of a 1 observers. She i3 always stunning, but looked particularly well Thursday night. There aren't many people who can wear flowers in their hair gracefully, but that red rose seemed to be just the thing. & & & "Us fellows were surely playing smash with the antedeluvian peroxides behind the calciums the other evening; there were seven or eight of us, devilish enough to sit in the front row, and j the way we won them there was nothing to It. j Just sort of a preliminary, you know, to the win- I ter's sport when we go back to school next month." j As our old friend in the "Toreador" might say, I "Hi, little boy!" JS t The Post should be gayer than ever this winter, win-ter, with five new officers in addition to the people already there. The five who came this week are Lieutenants McNalr, Oswald, Smait, Allin and Moody. & & & A beautiful wedding, witnessed only by relatives rela-tives and a fow intimate friends, was that of Miss Katherine Lowe and Grant Hampton, which took place on Thursday, the Rev. Elmer I. Goshen officiating. of-ficiating. Miss Margaret Park was the maid of honor, and Sam G. Park best man. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton will return to the city in about a month, after an eastern trip. ' & J8 t It is said that Col. and Mrs. Holmes are contemplating con-templating securing a tract of land somewhere between Murray and the mouth of Cottonwood, to use as a retreat In hot weather. If they can get a suitable location, a fine country house will be built. Dr. T. B. Beatty Is also looking for a place near the same location, and there are rumors ru-mors of many more quietly loooklng for a summer sum-mer garden In that direction. Land is comparatively compara-tively reasonable, but with the growing demand, the farmer may take the hunch and begin to raise the prices as well as carrots. t t5C tv The marriage of Miss Isabel Monahan and I ieutenant William P. Piatt was quite a surprise to their many friends, who were under the impression impres-sion that the wedding was to be large, and military. ' . Rev. Elmer I. Goshen performed the ceremony j at the home of the bride, and after a wedding breakfast, which was attended by relatives and a few intimate friends, Lieutenant and Mts. Piatt left for the east. They will live at Fort McKin- ley, Me. MiBS Delia Richards was hostess at a very smart luncheon at the Aita Club on Wednesday, ; given in honor of Miss Henrietta Holmes, who I was her room mate at National Park. Covers , were laid for twenty, and the affair was a most I charming event. J Mrs. Hubbard W. Reed entertained the Bridge j Club at luncheon at he Alta Club on Tuesday, after a pleasant morning in which the national society game was the principal feature. & & ? Cards bearing the postmark of Newark, N. J., and announcing the marriage of Miss Charlotte Brokaw to William S. Roe have been received by the many friends of Billy in this city, where he won their profound regard, and established several sev-eral world's records while visiting Jack Roylo a few summers ago. I & & & I Misses Elolse and Laura Sherman entertained II a dozen friends at luncheon at the County Ciub on H Wednesday. |
