Perhaps this reminder of the absent ones, who before the divorce scraped like Mie proverbial Kllkennies, and after the divorce took it out on their former friends, will serve to suggest why the calm in the land. They were each petted by a misguided clique who listened tu their tales of woe, and who when their sympathy had bffen tested to capacity, were regaled with scandal enough for a dozen problem plays anent the people who are supposed to constitute con-stitute the smart set. The reading of "The Bindweed," recalled the pleasant memories of these two. for there is a sentence in it which reads: "There have always been women who have clung, like the graceful, swaying creeper, and wound around others their white flowers and tender ten-der green and strangled out thef life to which they clung." w w W The ashes of Lent are having a pretty hard time smothering the1 fires of those who entertain informally all year 'round. The Charlie Walkers who returned during the week are among those who entertain most delightfully, de-lightfully, and it is to be hoped that they do not propose to ke'ep quiet after their long eastern trip. Most of us would be obliged to do so, but as I remarked, let us hope, je jc c The interesting announcement of .the engagement engage-ment of Miss Lane to Lieutenant Saunders wa3 not a great surprise, though none the less interesting inter-esting to the many friends that both have made in this city. Mis Lane's charming personality has made her very popular during her visit at Fort Douglas, and she has been the recipient of much attention. Lieutenant Saunders is one of the best liked officers at the garrison, and "the first of the bachelor bache-lor officers of the regiment now at the post to be married here." Tho wedding will be the event of tho month at Douglas. It is said that tho romance of tho fashionable dressmaker is asumlng definite shape, and though it might surprise some straight-laced folks, tho gentleman in the case would be open to many congratulations. She is certainly the possessor of the three cs, charm, culture and cleverness, and would make an excellent wife. & & Mrs. Dick Gray's luncheon irf honor of the Misses Sheridan, the charming girls who are visiting vis-iting Mrs. Downey, was the scene of a lot of good fun. The Saturday luncheon is a form of entertainment enter-tainment at which the Grays excel, as the half dozen who were invited to the Alta Club the other afternoon can testify. & Kenneth Kerr filled his home with the jolliest bunch of people you ever saw last Sunday evening even-ing in honor of his birthday sixteenth I think and the delightful buffet supper which was served early in the evening was only a started to the merriment, which lasted much longer, the guests wishing him many happy returns of the night. t V ( It isn't hard to be a monopoly. Take a little sea trip to Tahiti for instance, and on your return you will be the whole of an attention trust, as proven by the young man who was the center I of attraction surrounded by a dozen adoring young matrons at a recent buffet supper. That's going some, but long experience has taught him how to handle that many at a time, jc t j: The Bohemian Club ball was not well attended for the reason that people in general are not yet familiar with the club, which is practically a new organization composed of many of the best fellows fel-lows in the city among the musicians, artists and writers. Tho entertainment offered by the Bohemians Bohe-mians was more than the money's worth, and prob. ably the rush of high theatrical prices combined with tho Lenten season had something to do with the small attendance. They hope for better things next time. & & & The studio recital given by Mrs. Martha Royle King on Thursday evening was one of the pleasant variations of the wecjk. The vocalists were Hie Misses Evans, Reedal, Johnson, Godbe, Foster, and Gramling, with Miss Atchison accompanist. j? & & Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Lichtenstein wore tho guests of honor at an elaborate dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. Max Harris at Unity Hall on Tuesday evening, over a hundred guefsts enjoying enjoy-ing the event. It was in the nature of a welcome home to the young couple who have just arrived from their wedding trip, to make this city their home. & & I am told that if the young lady Mis3 Lane has asked to be her maid of honor decides to come west for the wedding, that the local eligibles will see one of the most beautiful girls of all the sunny South. (Jv t (, The" reception given to Senator Kearns on Thursday evening was a large event. 5 lv v Prof, and Mrs. S. H. Clark were entertained at supper at the Emery-Holmes on Wednesday evening by the University Dramatic association. They were also the recipients of several other informal in-formal entertainments during the week. (gy fV The friends of Mrs. J. E. Galllgher will bo pleased to know that she has recovered from her recent illness and is again at home. w w The Thomas G. Griffins leave for Europe early in April. |
