Show j Social Saunterings 1 Salt Lake society seems to be getting more than its share of distinguished visitors this season. sea-son. The latest arrivals are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Clar-ence Mackay and Colonel George Harvey, who ' are being entertained on their way east. 3 They are returning from Nevada where they have ' attended the exercises in connection with the unveiling of the statue of the late John W. Mackay in Reno. ". Mr. and Mrs. Mackay have been in the Sage- : brush state for the week past spending the greater part of the time in the Nevada mehopolis. : Mr. Mackay has made most generous contribu- tions to the mining department of the State unl-! unl-! versity and during his visit in Nevada announced kis intention of making large additions to the gifts already made. During his stay in the state the days and evenings were filled with a constant con-stant round of entertainments, and the party is actually in need of rest after the strenuous events ! of the past week. It is no wonder that they have stopped in Salt Lake to rest fn a few hours before contlnu- j ing their journe, i ! It is nice to meet people like Mr. Mackay and his charming wife, thoroughbreds, to whom millions mil-lions have made no difference. In fact, they seem more like people of the west than the usual affluent easterners, for they are thoroughly democratic demo-cratic in every Way, and during their western , trip have made hundreds of friends through the I unostentatious waimth of their greetings and their unaffected manners. Mr. Mackay really is of the west. He was born in California at the time his famous father was carving out a fortune on the Comstock, and he lived on this side of the mountains long enough to acquire the western freedom that comes from life in the open spaces. Mrs. Mackay is a most charming woman, tall and graceful, of the brunette type of beauty. She was a Philadelphia girl before her marriage. This is her flrst visit to Salt Lake, and she has expressed ex-pressed herself as delighted with the beauty of the city. From things that Mr. Mackay has said it may be expected that he will spend a few weeks of his time every year in the west, and this will be good news to the many friends he has made during dur-ing this and former visits. & j t 1 Colonel George Harvey owns the North Ameri- I can Review, edits Harper's Weekly, runs Harper's -1 j Magazine and Haiper's Bazaar, publishes a few 1 , books occasionally and takes a little run of a few I thousand miles to make a speech now and then. He is almost too busy, but his health does not seem to suffer. He is one of the boys, that is, one of the newspaper gang, and it is a real pleasure to be in his company. Ho is the old style newspaper man with the new style ideas. He started as a printer's devil, and did not have much time to go to school, but he is one of the most earnest advocates of a department of journalism jour-nalism in the leading universities, and his papers and literature on that subject are stronger than anything of the kind that has been published. He is a bully good story teller, a splendid "mixer," and when it comes to making an impromptu speech or giving you a straight-from-the-shoulder opinion on anything in the world he is always "leady light now." We believe if he will stay in town he can get a job here. We will elect him an honorary member of the Press club and figure out a place for him with a guarantee of fioin $25 to $40 per week, and can assure him that he will make a big hit. When you meet him ask him to tell you that asparagus story. It is certainly seasonable and no one can tell it as the colonel can. Unless he can bo persuaded to stay here he will accompany the Mackay party on their return to New York. & ? & . It is an interesting fact that is not generally known that the mining building of the University Univer-sity of Nevada, which was built by Mr. Mackay, was designed by the late Stanford White, the gr.eatest of artist-architects. It stands as a fitting fit-ting monument to the climax of this man's remarkable re-markable career, and is a most beautiful piece of work. The dignity of the proportions of the building, its perfection in every way, instantly appeal to the observer and more so by contrast with the other buildings of the university, which beside the Stanford White creation give about the same impression as would a cluster of chicken coops in the shade of Notre Dame. W i? W As expected, a divorce suit has been filed against Colonel Isaac Trumbo by his wife, Mary Shaughnessy Trumbo, on the ground of non-support. This is the second time the colonel has been in the limelight in divorce proceedings, both complaints com-plaints alleging that though he was amply provided pro-vided with worldly goods he had neglected to make not bnly a fair but a necessary division. Mrs. Trumbo was formerly Miss Mary Shaughnessy Shaugh-nessy of this city, a daughter of Colonel Shaughnessy. Shaugh-nessy. They were married hero in 189G and went to San Francisco to reside, where the colonel owns one of the finest residences in the city. On her leturn from abioad last fall Mrs. Trumbo came here to visit the Edward McGuirins, and since has spent the greater part of her time here where she has an unusually large number of friends and is extremely popular. t t Pretty lucky for Salt Lake society people that Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, and Worth, had 0 falling out, or perhaps it would be better to say 1 that the little queen did a good turn for Salt Lako by failing to have charms of such billowing pro- portions as to fill the "hand-made lace gown" which is now being worn at some of our most no- table musicales by the lady who purchased it j after the queen fell down. Great press work. j & & & The Directoire gown has come to town j Like the Prodigal son I ween, I For everywhere this gown is worn , The fatted calf is seen. Town Topics . i) I At noon Wednesday Miss Judith Evans and Moses James Brines were married in the First 1 Congregational church by Rev. Elmer I. Goshen. It was one of the most beautiful church weddings wed-dings of the week. The church was filled with ( friends of the young people, and following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served the bridal party at the Evans' home. The church was very prettily decorated with palms and ferns. Mr. Shepherd was at the organ. Jack Berkhoel, Jack Roe, Fred Smith and Mr. Crabbe were the ushers. Mrs. Aulabaugh was the matron of honor, and Miss Clara Hall the bridesmaid. s The bride and her attendants wore white linen jacket suits and white hats with white plumes. i Mr. and Mrs. Brines left Wednesday evening for ' a tiip through Yellowstone National park. They will be at home on their return at 65 I Street. : & i Amelia Palace will shortly be opened again. While Colonel and Mrs. Holmes will not be here until the first of July, Harold Bransford Lamb returned from college this week and will open the house. Colonel and Mrs. Holmes are now in San Francisco, from which place they will shortly begin their motor-car tour through northern Cal-ilornia. Cal-ilornia. e & Early in the week several affairs were given , in honor of Mrs. Prentiss Nathaniel Gray, formerly for-merly Miss Laura Sherman of this city. Mrs. Louis B. McCornick entertained Monday for her. & & t Half a dozen affairs have been given the past week for Miss Carrie Calvin who is spending a Aveek or two with friends about town. Miss Louise Sullivan entertained about a dozen girls for her i at a luncheon at the Country club Wednesday. Miss Steila Fabian entertained at a luncheon for her Thursday afternoon. Miss Mabel Burrows was also a guest of honor. w t "And when," said Mrs. Nuvoreesh, "those French pheasants came by singing the Mayonnaise, Mayon-naise, it was too deeply touching for words." & & Miss Jennetfe Luman and Miss Florence Hal-loran Hal-loran left this week for Mr. Lumait's ranch in Wyoming, where they will spend the summer. IS & S Mr. and Mrs. Waldemar Van Cott entertained a box party at the Orpheum Monday night in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth Hooper Dunbar and Miss Beth Dunbar. Miss Flo jnce Kimball and Miss Pearl Van Cott were present. tiJ fc5 ? Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bamberger and daughter, Dorothy, left this week to attend the graduating exercises at Cornell, where Clarence Bamberger has been in school. i& (3 Julian Bamberger returned from Princeton this week to spend the summer with his parents. & t c One of the most charming recitals of the season sea-son was that given by George Rogers at the Salt Lake theatre Tuesday for Samuel Newhouse and a number of friends. Arthur Shephard accompanied accom-panied Mr. Rogers. r & it & So many of the officers at the post have been busy this week with target work, that the regular Friday night hop was postponed from last night until Friday evening, June 19th. 3 t c The Symphony concert Wednesday night brought the regulars out in crowds. A dozen parties par-ties could be seen scattered over the lower part of the house, aside from the stall parties. Many striking toilettes were in evidence. Samuel New-house New-house and his niece, Miss Mary Moore, entertained the largest stall party. They were in stall "C with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Judge, Count de La - Borde and one or two others. Miss Maud May Babcock entertained a stall party in honor of Dr. Anderson who is here to take charge of the summer sum-mer school at the University. Mrs. IFJ. Bonnemort and Mrs. H. M. Dinwoodey entertained loge parties. par-ties. Mrs. E. A. Wall and her daughters, who have recently returned from their eastern trip, were in the dress circle. & & dt There is a chance for a new record for the first of the rapid set who digs up nerve enough for a speaking acquaintance with one of the new Direc-toire Direc-toire gowns. To a certainty the spasm of moral fervor aroused over the first public display of the new gowns at Longchamps the other day will quickly die out and Parisian femininity will take to the new idea of wearing tights with petticoatless sheath dresses like a duck to water. Worth says ho made a Directoire forty years ago and the wearer was expelled from a reception recep-tion for the Ministry of Marine. As soon as Chief Pitt can spare a little time for his cherished cher-ished stockade scheme and the boys who have taken off everything but the high gears on their machines, he might dig around a little on the Directoire Di-rectoire matter, for about one promenade up Main street by an apparition of local feminine loveliness love-liness gowned in a sheath dress that opens on one side at the knee and whose entire lingerie complement com-plement consists of a pair of black silk bust-to-anklo tights would start, something that might end with the ehiof chasing little birds around in a circle up Dry Creek canyon, if it caught him J unprepared. |
