Show I Saunterings H In Miss Jeanotte Cook's effort to chungo tho H name and not tho letter, including among other H things a long ocean trip from Stathearon, Eng- H land, to New York, where she was mot by her H lover, Squire Coop and also, unexpectedly, by H Mrs. Coop, she found in this country tho land of H the brave but not the home of the free, for she is H; being detained at Ellis Island, and if Mrs. Coop H( has her way, and she seems to be armed with Hl many intercepted cables and letters, the beautiful H nineteen-year-old girl will be deported. That H must have been a great scene on tho pier when H the Oceanic arrived on Wednesday, and if music H hath charms to sooth the savage breast, it is a Hi twenty to one shot that Squire played himself to H' sleep that night. It is really too bad to have had H the romance spoiled, but just why tho clevor mu- H sician did not wait until matrimonial entangle- H' ments were unwound is difficult to understand. H Love's young dream, however, is usually in a hur- H' ry, and from the looks of things at' this writing, H the Squire and Miss Cook will be obliged to wait H much longer than they anticipated. H Well, here it is again. Edna Goodrich and M Nat Goodwin have quarreled for the last time, H and after an unsuccessful search of several days H Nat was again served in a suit for divorce. The H, complainant, Edna Goodrich, is tho fourth H Mrs. Goodwin. Although Goodwin know several H days ago that the suit was instituted, he avoided H admitting it until the facts became known through H4 friends who were present at the recent dinner H, given by Goodwin to a select few in commemora- H' tion of the incident. H The genial Nat called it a "Fourth Service H' Dinner," and the invitations, which he sent to a H dozen or so Intimates, were so inscribed. The H incident that led to the institution of the divorce H suit, it was learned tonight, occurred in a Toron- Ht to hotel last Thanksgiving day, to which city H Mrs. Goodwin had gone to surpriso her husband H Herman L. Roth, attorney for Mrs. Goodwin, H said that he did not care to discuss the matter, H but it was learned that while the name of the M co-respondent does not appear in tho papers, in- H timation is given that she is a well-known mom- H ber of the theatrical profession. H The intimates of both of them have expected H a divorce suit for over a year, and it was thought H that their differences would come to a climax H in New York last spring. However, there was a H temporary reconciliation, when early in the fall H of the present year Edna Goodrich went on the H road with Goodwin as his leading lady in "The H Captain." "Tho Captain" did not marshall as many forces as was expected, and after the clos- H ing piece the Goodrlches, dear old mother and H daughter, went to New York, where they have an B apartment. The real event of the holidays took piace at the Fort on Thursday evening, when the smart homes of the city Were practically depopulated in nn effort to out-do one another in the display of the village charms at the greatest bal masque that has been given here in years. The officers and ladles of the Fort wore responsible for the fun, and it is not too much to say that tliey can WANDA RADFORD. "Whose singing Is creating a sensation abroad certainly pride themselves on the fact that no entertainment heretofore in the post hall was ever gayer. It was an event that cannot be forgotten by any who attended, and to adequately describe it one would have to do what Edwin Arnold said was necessary to describe the fetes as Moscow, write in colors. Those who were there were fortunate for-tunate and those who were not were down and in jured. The guests of'the officers and ladies would not care if they repeated the performance once a week. jfe Colonel and Mrs. Edwin F. Holmes, assisted by their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Jay T. Harris and Harold Lamb, and Mayor and Mrs. John S. Brans-ford, Brans-ford, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Bransford, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Evans and W. G. Lamb, entertained at a reception and dance at the Amelia palace on Monday evening. This was the largest event of the kind given at their home in years, and hundreds hun-dreds of guests were present at the beautiful affair. af-fair. The decorations throughout tho rooms were very beautiful and arranged in excellent taste. j The guests were received in the drawing rooms and the dancing took place in the art gallery. J At midnight an elaborate supper was served, af- - I ter which the younger guests remained an hour or two longer for dancing. . Tonight will be given over to the usual New Year's eve festivities but, come to think of it, they will probably be unusual, considering tho great preparations that have been made to welcome wel-come 1911. Practically all of the available tables ta-bles at the restaurants have been spoken for until after midnight, and after that it will probably prob-ably be equally difficult to find a place at, on top or under a table. Tt is going to be a real society event, or a series of events, to be followed by a large number of fashionable breakfasts tomorrow to-morrow evening at the different restaurants, club3 and hotels. Oh, you clam juice! This has been a fairly busy week preparatory to the indoor sports arranged for this evening, the banquet at the Commercial club last evening practically finishing the social affairs of 1910, tttit, come to think of it, that was a stag (mean old things!) And though society generally is a little lit-tle tired, it is still in the ring and will be in fine fettle and fine feathers to say good-bye and an emphatic good-night to 1910. While numerous members of the smart set will receive informally on Monday evening, the largest events will be given by Captain and Mrs. Jos. E. Caine and their son, William H. Caine, and Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Kiser. The papers tell us of a choice cluster of Washington, Wash-ington, D. C, ministers and officials who returned the Christmas presents sent to them on Christmas Christ-mas day because it was the Sabbath, and not only did they return them, but they were highly indignant. in-dignant. Anyone who can beat that in chronicling the performances of any narrow-minded citizens '&- , since the day of the five witch parties, ought to fT come forward at once. That is about the best exemplification of the spirit of "Peace on earth, good will to men" that anyone ever hoard of. The good stork came in with the Christmas tide and visited the C. W. Whitley's, where he left a baby boy. Lieutenant and Mrs. G. A. Weiser entertained informally on Tuesday evening at their quarters at the Fort in honor of Lieutenant and Mrs. Paul C. Potter. The dance given by Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Howard on Tuesday evening in honor of M!s3 Margaret Walker and Miss Norinne Thompson, was a cleverly clev-erly arranged affair for the special benefit of about forty of their younger friends. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the Christmas idea prevail ing, and after the evening spent in dancing, a de- -lightful supper was served. The younger people f had it all to themselves, and all not Included in the charming younger set were very properly shelved for the evening. Miss Adrienne King entertained a large number num-ber of her friends at her home on East South Temple street on Wednesday at a "500" party. Some fifty young ladies were present, and the hostess was assisted by her sister, Miss Ramola King, and Miss Winnifred Biice. ", l , ''""li HOBBLE GARTERS Why not? Mr. Jack Berkhoel entertained a number of friends at a musical affair given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Selgel on Tuesday even- L ing. Mrs. Seigel and Mrs. Charles G. Plummer assisted in the entertainment of the guests. The announcement of the engagement of Miss Winnifred Brice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Brice, . to Senter Fred Walker, while a great surprise to very many friends, has been the cause of many congratulations during the week. Miss Brice is one of the most popular girls in the younger set and Mr. Walker, who Is the son of Mrs. F. S. Bascom, is ono of the most popular popu-lar young men in the city. The wedding will take place in the spring. The wedding of Miss Estelle Clinton of this city to Mr. Raymond Moore of Boise, will take place on Thursday, January 12th. They will make their home in Idaho, much to the regret of their many friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Jasper A. McCaskell have gone to Gold Roads, Arizona, where they will make their home. Their many friends regret their departure, as they will be greatly missed in the younger married set, whoro they are very popular. Mr. and Mrs. Louis D. Gordon entertained at dinner preceding the masquerade at the Fort on Thursday. A great success from an artistic standpoint was the Symphony Orchestra recital at the Salt Lake Theatre on Thursday afternoon. It would seem that it was bad policy to plan a concert for the middle of a week which was unusually busy for almost everyone. For that reason the house was not crowded to standing room or anywhere near it. It has been demonstrated that Sunday afternoon after-noon is the best possible time for anything of this character, and if it is not possible to get a theatre for that day, an evening in the week would be far better than an afternoon engagement. It not only keeps considerable money away from the box office and a cause that certainly should have the support of everyone, but it deprives a large number of people who would like to attend the Symphony concert from going. The members of the University Club on Wednesday Wed-nesday evening gave the second dance of the season. sea-son. It was a very happy affair and was enjoyed by a large number of the members and their friends. Governor and Mrs. William Spry have issued invitations for a reception and dance to the state officials and members of the legislature to be given giv-en at the Odeon hall on the evening of Wednesday, Wednes-day, January 11th. Thirty of the friends of Miss Dorothy Ingram enjoyed her hospitality at a luncheon at the Alta Club on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn A. Paul entertained at bridge on Tuesday at the Wilson, followed by an elaborate supper. Mr. and Mrs. Paul were, assisted as-sisted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Fred Wey. |
