Show t l Saunterings I The marriage of "Mrs. Marttia Royle King and I Eugene B. Palmer will take place on Thurs- I day next at the home of Mrs. Klng!s parents, Judge II and Mrs. Jonathan C. Royal, on K street. Theirs II , will bo a quiet homo wedding, attended only by II the relatives and a few intimate friends. They li will leave immediately after the ceremony for a l trip to California, and upon their return will mako II their home in this city. II The announcement is not really in the nature II of a surprise to most of their friends, who have I ! known tho secret for several weeks, though it l will bo news to many others who will nasten to I offer their felicitations. Mrs. King is one of the II most popular and accomplished musicians in tills HI city, where she has always made her home, and HJ during his residence here Mr. Palmer has wdn Hi the regard of a large and influential circle of H friends, with whom he has come in contact dur-H dur-H ing his newspaper and business career. n III The laureis once won by Salt Lake society for Hi something doing every minute, which have been I gradually fading for several seasons, Bhould be II put aside entirely, for of all the insufferable, dull, 11 stupid seasons this is unquestionably the worst, II and even the theatres, usually depended upon to Hi in some way break the monotony for those who Hi have not Initiative enough to perform any original Hi tricks, have fallen down, and the result has been HI productive of a state of ennui Which has really HI assumed the proportions of an epidemic. HI If local society, as some scoffers remark, is HI over-dined, over-wlned, or over anything except HI over-bored, even those supposedly In the know Hi don't know anything about it, and the worst of HI it is that there is not the faintest ray of hope HI for anything startli to occur in the near future. Hj There is but one large affair scheduled to take H place between now and the end of the month H the dinner to be given by Charley Whitley at the H Alta club a week from tonight, when the gold H room will be the scene of one of the most elab- H orate dinners that has ever taken place there. Hr However, it is to bo a stag affair only, and H though this is entirely agreeable to the men, H there Is some wailing and gnashing of molars H among the fair sex who have had a long rest H during the cold weather. B Hj- Of course, the latter have bridged it to their H hearts discontent whenever the opportunity has H offered, and even bridge seems to be a little on H the wane, for the affairs have dwindled in num- H ber to only four or five a day. In fact, the sum H total of most of the entertainments of the month H has consisted In the daily chronicling of how H many met, how many packs of cards were used, V the center piece was handsome embroidered, and ' there were three marguerites and four carna- H tlons for each lady present. Oh! It's a great H burg, all right, and a great place for those so- M daily Inclined to save their money. I; Possibly this round-the-world trip started the H general retrenchment, for so much has been H said about whero they are all going that there H are some others who are beginning to believe H , there are other places on the map beside this, H and they, too, are getting the travelling bee or H t tne hok worm or some other subtle germ, the H influence of which is instilling In them ui call H ' Of the wanderer. At any rate, there is absolutely m j. little or nothing doing, though, if the busy dow- M ' agers around the tea tables and the grannies at M the men's clubs are to be believed, the spring M and summer will bo enlivened by thoso affairs M which usually precede interesting matrimonial Bi announcements. ' The younger men at the University club are 1' going to give a masquerade there the first week in February, and those who have been invited are busy very busy, planning their costume which promise to be unique and beautiful. Onlj i limited number of Invitations will be issued, for the members of the club keep pretty well to themselves, them-selves, but the indications are that the affair will bo one of the jolliest of the season.
