Show I Social Saunterings H Salt Lake society was busy most of the week B, j. getting out the ermine and the sealskin, pre-H' pre-H' l paring hot brews for the thermos bottles, get-Hi get-Hi ting the hot water bottles ready, overhauling the H-'V trunks in the attic for father's Geiman socks, B and making general preparations for the open-H open-H ing of the Country Club today. H There was a log-rolling at the Country Club H grounds yesterday in order to have enough fuel H for the big grates and the furnace was shaken H up In prepaiatlon for the festive event which H - takes place this afternoon and evening, and H which will be attended by a couple of hundred H of the two hundred 'and fifty-eight who belong. Hi They will airlve in time for tea at four o'clock H and probably stay to dinner and surely dance H for the remainder of the evening. H The affair being in. charge of Mrs. Arthur Hi Bird, Mrs. Frank Judge, Mrs. Ernest Bamberger, Hj Mrs. Robeit Gemmell, and Mrs. Lewis McCornick, Hv will be a real party, and while a large number Hf have gawfed for a month or two past, the great H , majority have not yet been out, and the formal R opening, providing there is not a blizzaid, will H be a most happy event. H Really the Country Club crowd has been so H quiet for a month or two past that the exertions H of the day and evening may be expected to H) pclipse all past performances, for wltih the great- H ost season of the Club's career anticipated by W those who use it most, it is only proper that the M start should be one with fireworks. M There will be some smart dinners, and some M dull ones, or otherwise it wouldn't be- the Coun- M try Club, and following the feasting there will m. be a Clicquot salute in honor of the new ofllcers, H the entertainment committee, and their1 guests. i j: & & B The directors of the Country Club have an- m nounced that so many applications for member- H ship are being received, that they have decided M tc limit the membership to four hundred, and H after that number have been admitted, those H who wish to join will be on the wa'iting list. H That Is a splendid idea, and one which has met M with the hearty,, approval of the members. For the next two or thiee years that number will be H sufficient for all practical purposes, and about M 1912 will be time enough to recons'der the de- H cision. It is thought that the membership will H bo full by tftie end of the summer, If not before, H and with four hundred lesident members, the H club will be in a position to effect every im- H piovement contemplated by the progressive gen- H tlemen who for the present control its destinies H H A pretty party in which a former dashing H Salt Laker was one of the principals, is being H widely discussed in fashionable circles on the H racific coast, where for a year or two past the H gentleman and his charming wife have been H prom'nent in a cliquo or two who while away H the time between San Francisco and Los Angeles H and at the resorts along the beach. That is, he H whiles away the time, while she stays at home, H and though his latest escapade had been ditched H before it reached the city editors, it has been a B dainty morsel for his friends at the Club from m the Bohemian to the Jonathan. H It seems that the gentleman is enamored of B a l'ttle beauty, and in her case the word "beauty" m means something. The flirtation started in San HH Francisco, and then, purely by accident, they HH met at Coronado. Also a handsome naval officer iH met the lady at the same place, and also the M erstwhile Salt Laker, being a good fellow, in- H vited one naval officer to a dinner party; and H later the party adjourned to more comfortable H private quarters, and also the grape flowing free- H ly as is its wont in that clime, started their Ha i tongues in much repartee, and loud guffaws emanated from the scene of the celebration. And later one naval officer and hi3 host, both being enamored, began to discuss the question, pro, and also con; and as the angry tones rose higher and higher, and there being loud protests from other guests assembled in other parts of the hotel, the clerk of same caravansary issued a foimal invitation at 2:30 a. m. for the three to depart fiom the tavern, by the sea, and in spite of many protests the three departed into the slilly n'ght, and after a comfortable place was found for the lady, the other two went their ways, which for some hours later took them to every newspaper office of importance in the vicinity. And later the dasher returned to newer San Fiancisco, having completed his business trip to the city of the Angels. tL fir, h.'tr m. Miss Eudora Daly, whose engagement to Mark W. Lillard of Portland is announced. The date of the wedding of Miss Eudora Daly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Daly of this c'ty, and Mark W. Lillard of Portland, Oregon, has not been set, but it is expected that the event will take place early In June. Miss Daly is one of the most popular girls in the younger set, to whom the wedding will be of especial Intel In-tel est. fcV m (W i Anyone who is wondering where so many Salt Lakers are at present could soon see if they took a little whiil around the e'rele of hotels beginning in Los Angeles and finishing in Seattle. Se-attle. One doesn't know how the germ of wanderlust wan-derlust has affected the population until he saunters through the lobby of any good hotel on the coast for the travelers from here are numbered among the hundreds, and form a very large proportion of evey crowd in the restaurants, restau-rants, theatres and hotels. The travel, too, does not seem to be confined to any part of the year, ii irtmp i i 'PiBH '-wiif HK1BHHHHHBHHHHHDHHI and there is scarcely a train or a city where one cannot always find old friends usually a comfortable feeling though occasionally lncon- venient for those who are away for pleasure or rest. vi Now that the Sheik-ul-Islam has prepared a fetva and Reshad has done a turn at the Sera-skerat, Sera-skerat, and Abdul Hamid and his bevy of beauties don't know where to go, why not invite them here for the summer to enliven proceedings in the pacing set? 3 w A real live lacing meet is a new idea to Salt Lakers, and those with an ounce or two ' of sporting blood are awaiting anxiously for the J twenty-second of the month to arrive. The sea- & , son will begin on a Saturday (wise management) and the crowd will be swelled by hundreds of , the social herd who will find the diversion just the thing for the afternoon before the dinners and fetes at the Country Club. Forty days of racing a great boon to the idlers, and as few of them leave town until July, the season comes at just the niftiest time. Already the modistes are pieparlng sporty togs, and the displays at the track will be. almost as attractive as the ponies. O w t This evening at Rowland Hall will take place the wedding of Miss Alta Elizabeth Johnson and ( Dp. Charles Edgenton Carter. The ceremony j " U be performed by the Rev. Elmer I. Goshen ana will be witnessed by a large number of their friends, among those arriving from out of town being Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Johnson of Denver, Den-ver, and H. C. Harmon of Colorado Springs. &v && w Col. N. W. Clayton and his daughter, Miss Sybella White Clayton, have returned from Germany, Ger-many, where the young lady won new laurels, while appearing with the Philharmonic Orchestra Orches-tra of Berlin. So great was her success that she has received tempting offers to return to Germany, Ger-many, and it is probable that she will accept. The triumph of Miss Emma Lucy Gates following fol-lowing the announcement of Miss Clayton's success suc-cess is only another evidence that there are few talented Utahnians who have not been appreciated appreciat-ed as soon as they spend enough time away from home & &fc iZfi Mrs. John E.
