Show I Saunterings J After many meetings and much conversation, H the idea of giving a masquerade or fancy dress M affair at the Country Club Monday night has been H abandoned, and instead there will be just an in- H formal dance with a number of old-time Hallow- H e'en divertissements carried as a side line. It is H back to the school days for the members, and in- H stead of the original affair which was planned H earlier in the month, there will be the usual bob- Hj bing for apples and other mussy tricks handed H; down by the forefathers, interspersed with the H, few signs of life that may be displayed by those Hi who can think fast and act accor' ugly. H Hj The new rule at the Alta club, which makes it H necessary for those who care to dine there Sun- H( day night to parade through the front door, is H' causing a number of men influenced by their H wives and other lady friends to emit a percepti- ble yelp regarding the innovation, for before im- H provements were made at the club it was so much Hi nicer and so much more exclusive for a dinner Hi party to be arranged suddenly and out of the for- H loin hope at the end of a cold Sunday afternoon H1 have somebody lead an automobile load or two H I through the private entrance to the c'ub to the H comfortable rooms above. Under the piesent ar- H I rangement "Peacock Alley" at the club consists H of a cluster of sleeping beauties who line the H 100m where the hungry must enter before mount- H ing the steps to the cheer that is awaiting them. H However, the rule has its benefits. It serves 10 H arouse some sleepers from their lethargy and pro- H , vides new subjects of conversation for those who H I find it difficult to pass tne time before the lights H J come on. H I , We not with interest that Miss Wilson is I , singing a. the campaign meetings where her H father, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, is making H addresses. We should imagine that the secretary I would be obliged to make some very strong B J speeches to counteract the effect of the singing H unless Miss Wilson has greatly improved since H that memorable evening when, with the assist- H ance of numerous patronesses, high in local so- H ciety, she filled the Shnbert with an audience I which did its duty until the end. H I I It is a far hark from Sunday morning church to the Sunday evening dinner table, and from the I loud and vicious remarks made concerning some ladies in a public dining room on Sunday last, it is apparently too much to ask that the churchgoers church-goers retain any of the brotherly love with which they are supposed to be imbued in the morning until another day arrives. Hill1 I The vaudeville show for the benefit of the Free Kindergarten is progressing nicely under the management man-agement of Mrs. C. E. Richards. Rehearsals are being held regularly and it is promised that the best society vaudeville this city has even seen will be on the boards of the Salt Lake theatre on j the evening of November 10th. It is for one night I ' only and from the present outlook it will be Very I i necessary to apply early in order to avoid the I I crush. Hit S There are persistent rumors of a number of interesting in-teresting engagements, and it is expected that u holiday time will witness numerous affairs I with a spring bride or two as the motif. Two or I j three will remain here after their marriage, some I will join the army, and others will, much to the I regret of their friends, go east and west to live. If , (One Charlie Stanton, Major Stanton, has returned re-turned from the Philippines and is gladdening the hearts of the brothers in San Francisco. Charlie Hv is also threatening to come here within the next I 1 few1 weeks and proposes to be present at the opening open-ing of the Commercial club in the event that it is opened between now and the first of the year. He does not know a thing about the welcome that awaits him, but it will be a hummer. It is always springtime in the vicinity of the major, and it has been so long since his local friends have seen him that it is to be hoped he will expedite his coming. A notable society event of the week was the concert at the Salt Lake theatre on Monday evening, even-ing, for the benefit of the Orphans' Home, the artists ar-tists appearing being Miss Mary Kimball, Miss Sy-bella Sy-bella Clayton and Willard Weihe. The program was selected with rare disci imination, and its general excellence was the subject of much comment com-ment from those who attended. Miss Kimball, who has not been heard here often in public, has a beautiful voice, and the work of Miss Clayton Suggestion for engraving to be placed on the golf cups donated by the next courageous donor for the season of 1011 at the Country Club. and Mr. Weihe is, too well known to necessitate a repetition of the praises due. Miss Clayton and Miss Kimball will leave shortly for Europe, where they will spend the winter months. Is the age of the suffragette about to have its influence on the bald-headed row. It would seem so, though those who preempted this favorite spot of the bachelor first-nighter on Tuesday were not of the suffragette order, but were real representatives represen-tatives of the feminine beauty that we boast of locally. The party was a decided innovation and one whose exapiple will probably be followed if the scarcity of men continues. 0 "K Society and others interested In fortune hunt- i w r ers were present in force at the Salt Lake thea- tre on Tuesday night to see the presentation of the Winchell Smith comedy- here. Among those V who entertained at box parties were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Knox, who later gave a supper for their guests. - Because the Orphans' Home and Day Nursery were to receive a large percentage of the receipts, re-ceipts, and also because of the excellent program pro-gram provided by those actors in the city who generously donated their services, the Louvre was crowded on Thursday night with an appreciative crowd. The affair was a most delightful de-lightful event and was enjoyed by a large number of society people as well as those Bohemians who seldom begin to enjoy themselves until after the j theatres are out. Every company and eveiy theatre thea-tre in the city was represented, and among others who contributed to the fun of the evening were Fred Niblo and Frank Buoman of "The Fortune Hunter" company; Max Figman, who was seen during the week at the Colonial; William Ingersoll of the Garrick and others of the Garrick company; George Auger, Ernest Rommel, Irene Howley and McKay and Cantwell of the Orpheum, Miss Caroline Caro-line Young Carolls, formerly of the Keith circuit, Miss Millie Williams and Miss Florence Locke t and a number from the Shubert and Majestic theatres. 00 , On Wednesday the regular monthly meeting of the Hospital Aid society was held and it was decided to give the yearly charity ball at the Odeon on November 16th.

The third batallion of Fort Doug'as returned from battle in Cottonwood canyon on Wednesday, having walked the entire distance unaided, commanded com-manded by Major Holly, Captain McCaskey, Captain Cap-tain Bridges and Lieutenants Smalley, Butcher, Elliott, Lee and Dickson. It is expected that all of the officers will recover and be themselves again in a very short time, that is all but Captains Cap-tains McCaskey and Bridges, whom it is understood under-stood were seriously wounded. Captain Bridges reports the loss of five pounds during the maneuvers. man-euvers. The George Y. Wallace's have recently purchased pur-chased a summer home down near the mouth of Qottonwood and in the spring will greatly improve the property. Theirs is one of the prettiest sites in that part of the valley which now harbors so many Salt Lakers, who realize how ideal the summer sum-mer is down there. At the rate the most desirable desira-ble places are being taken, it won't be long until there will be a premium on the land in that particular par-ticular locality, as there are a number who are contemplating the purchase of sites for summer homes. |
