Show K I Social Saunterings H C. J. Drossner, who dropped into town before K Lhe town dropped onto him, and pretended that H he was Claus Gprcckles, Jr., started his exciting B career in McCornick's bank where he nonchal- B ently presented a draft for a little old hundred H and fifty. H lie was nsked to wait a sqcond and while he H waited a clerk phoned to an office up stairs in H the same building for a young and handsome Cali- H fornian who had had some experience with the H sugar coated scions on their native heath. H As soon as the identifying kid entered, Dross- H ner assured him that they had met. H "Nix," said the other quickly. For a moment H vthe conversation lagged after the variance in the H' memories of the two had made the situation a 1 little awkward. H Then the man from up-stairs asked, "You're H J. D.'s son, aren't you?" H "Sure," said the bogus one. H "I used to know your brother Jack very well H lira, er who did he marry?" H "Miss Cunningham," replied Drossner quickly. H "Is that so," reflected the man from upstairs, H "I didn't now that. I thought he married Miss H Huntington." But by that time Drossner's color H had reached a height that necessitated a sudden H retreat to the open and the fresh air, and the H' hundred and fifty was still there. H v $ H Drossner, between drinks, and occasionally H while taking them, was mixing with "some of our H best families," the callow ones proudly introduc- H ing him to their friends, all of which is a re- H minder that a good front in a restaurant is worth H two in der chail, and also that too few questions M are asked of strangers. H P. Going Schuler was the boy who saw through H his disguise and beat him in the Marathon for the H scrimmaged eggs, and Drossner's medals now H decorate the boudoir of F. Going. H je ,, jt H It is to be hoped that the protests from those H with the hands that used to rock the cradles, but H who are now in the front ranks of the suffra- H gettes, against the increase of duty on gloves H and hosiery will have a salutary effect on the Hi representatives in Washington and that gloves H and stockings will be kept right where they are. H jt , jC H Mr. and Mrs. George T. Odell, Miss Maria Odell and Mr. Henry Potter left here yesterday H on the Los Angeles Limited and will sail for Eu-H Eu-H rope on the French liner "La Provence" on April 15th. Later Mrs. A. S. Wright of Idaho Falls H will join the party. H Mr. Odell's big touring car has been shipped H ahead and the party wil motor on the continent for about ten weeks. They will arrive in London early in July and will spend a month or two in the British Isles, returning to America in September. Sep-tember. Mr. Odell has planned a fine trip which will cover the greater part of southern and western Europe, the total distance to be traveled by motor being in the neighborhood of seven thousand thou-sand miles. t w fc5 There was an amusing family reunion at the Knutsford the other afternoon when Mrs. Moses Kirkpatrick and Miss Kirkpatrick met Mrs. John Marshall and her daughter, Miss Cary Marshall. Mrs. Marshall, who with her daughters has been traveling in Europe and the east for some time, had no idea that her mother, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Kirk-patrick, was within a thousand miles of Salt Lake, and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, who has also been away for a year, had about the same idea of the whereabouts of Mrs. Marshall. They both arrived on the same day about an hour apart, both registered at the same hotel and in another hour accidently met. In a small town, you never can tell when you're going to run into your own family. Mrs. Kirkpatrick will take a cottage at Ta-hoe Ta-hoe for the summer, and her daughters, Mrs. Walter Wal-ter Stone and Mrs. Jack Van Fleet, will spend some time with her at the Lake. t i5 t The dress parade of the High School cadets which will take place on the campus this afternoon after-noon when Admiral Robley D. Evans will review the batallion will be a gala event. Governor Spry and his staff will be present, and also the officers from the Fort and a largo number of distinguished citizens. Society will be out in force, and providing the weather behaves the review will be a great attraction at-traction for hundreds. g tJ & One more week of Lent ought to bring relief for those who search the society columns in the hope that something may happen to relieve the dullness. It is doubtful though if there will be anything pretentious for the benefit of those who are slowly dying for the want of a regular party again. There are three engagements to be announced shortly and all of them contain more than a little lit-tle interest for society, but the principals who absurd as the custom is, like to be consulted before be-fore the announcements are made, "positively refuse re-fuse to be interviewed" to date. & & & Miss Helen Grantley entertained a party of friends at the Louvre on Thursday afternoon, the first of April proving an incentive for a number of specialties not on the menu. Miss Grantley's hospitality in "The Never, Never Land" proved her capabilities In that direction, di-rection, and her charm as a hostess was shown to even better advantage at her afternoon tea. & J S The new Berliet motor car ordered by Ernest Bamberger from the American Locomotive company com-pany will be here early in April. This company has the American rights to the Berliet patents, and the machine is described as a wonder. It is a high powered and high priced car. There are none of these cars in Salt Lake, though San Francisco and Los Angeles can boast of several. & & & Some of the bachelors and a married man or two are already talking about a series of four assemblies as-semblies for next winter and the proposition now is to limit the membership to a hundred men and put the price high enough to make the dances a great success. There are only two things in the way of this attractive scheme one is the puzzle, find a hundred hun-dred men, and the other is the question, where will the hundred men get the money? v to fcC HAPPENINGS AND WHEREABOUTS.
