Show I 1 1 Society Sa,zfitering& J ' B 1 A young porpoise who has been striving hard : I M to get in the swim since the day he was "short- ! !S ened" broke into the lime light at the Svengali '? ! W Matinee, resplcndant in a tuxedo, a full dress I! 18 waistcoat, and all the trimmings, and another f :' !j sight for the gods posed for the benefit of the ' f. I Sadie girl, who was allowed to rest in his ' 1 shadow. H. j. How "f adder" could spare him from "de Hj ' A bissness" in the middle of the afternoon is a HB; i mystery, but the generosity on the part of the IB' jj i old man was appreciated by a large audience, Hj , ' j for now that this corpulent leader has squeezed H'i : into a tux in broad daylight, it will be quite the Hji thing. It was sad to observe, however, that this j scion of noble family failed to follow a well I I known precedent established here some time ago, I I for his tan shoes had evidently been left in the Hj ' 1 tin shop, j 'i With such an object lesson from a lion of the Hj j ', j smartest set, those ladies who like to go market- I : ing in a hundred thousand necklace, and a young l j I coronet will find a new inspiration. K j j j) j I $ Four matinee fixtures who are rather attract- ive from a scenic point of view, and also at close range, are claiming enough attention to cause a i1 bit of jealousy, even among the younger sisters. 1; They dress somewhat alike, at present their hair B j f is about the same shade, and they are so well B J jji fed and good natured withal that it is really B B ' r ' worth while to stick around when they are at the 8 i' mat Two of them are enough alike to be sis- jihil ters an ic match-makers in the smart set B) 'jfr'I have their way, the other two will be sisters, B ! 11 whether they look alike or not. Hj ' ' 1 4 Bj j ' Speaking of match-making, there are a lot of B j ' people who would like to catch the guy who said H; that love would find a way. ' .1 That goes sometimes, just as a gypsy makes one real guess when she is reading your hand, but of all the old ones that have been exploded, that fine platitude is the worst. Love does find a way sometimes, for the autos and the hacks have not yet passed, but in an emergency, a fellow might as well wish on a load of hay. And after you've been in love ten or twelve times, and in each case, the only time in your life, the falsity of everything the old boys said will dawn upon you. The reality is a long workout, and not an epigram. & & & Sis! Boom! Ah! and Oh Slish! and all that goes in the Zounds school of variegated vernacular! vernac-ular! There is to be a court-martial at the University Uni-versity Club, and all of the guilty ones who tell things to the horrid newspapers are to be called out on the pale pink carpet and chastised. That will be going some, and let no guilty rah escape. The climax seems to have been reached in a wedding story published by one of the young ladies who tells sassity for the dailies, and the indignation in-dignation is so intense that a committee is at work on the case. It is quite a compliment to the young lady who has created such consternation, consterna-tion, but an awful blow to" the star chamber stunt of the club. f$ A lot of old friends returned to town during the week and there is good news ahead for many more. The beauty of those who have lately arrived ar-rived rests in their ability "to speak a piece, tell a story or sing a song," for in other words they are always welcome additions in their several cliques. Clarence McCornick is home again, after a month in New York, where he went on business. Mr. Newhouse will be back next week, returning re-turning with Mrs. Newhouse, who arrived from England on Wednesday. Mrs. Sam Adams is here, and will spend a few days with her parents Mr. and Mrs. H. G. McMillan. Mc-Millan. Mr. Scott Woodward, who is buying ore in Butte, where the rocks come from is in the city for a few days, and will return north next week. Harris Masters is here from London, Paris and Cuba, after an absence of many months. He will spend another week visiting old friends and will then go abroad before going to South America Amer-ica for an indefinite period. Masters, globe trotter, is the same good fellow, unchanged except ex-cept for the loss of a little hair, retained as a souvenir sou-venir by the fever on the island'. t$ In a season replete with society weddings of importance there have been no more beautiful affairs than that which took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Alexander, on Tuesday Tues-day evening, when Miss Sara Alexander became the bride of Ashby DuBois Cleveland. The ceremony and the reception which followed foll-owed were attended only by the relatives and more intimate friends. The decorations in the pretty home were of a quiet elegance which marked the entire affair, and the scheme of green and white throughout the rooms was delightfully charming. Mrs. Wing B. Allen was matron of honor, and Theodore Gentch was best man for Mr. Cleveland. Cleve-land. Those assisting during the evening were Mrs. F. D. Parker, of Chicago, Mrs. W. P. Kiser, Mrs. Charles Fifield, Mrs. Herbert Brown, Mrs. David Murray, the Misses Miller, Miss Leta McMillan, Mc-Millan, and Miss Alice Goodwin. & j jH During her stay in this city, Mrs. Benita Sabin Somers-Cocks will be the guest of Mrs. L. C. Miller. She will arrive on Tuesday and remain until after her recital on Thursday. Her friends are invited to visit her at Mrs. Miller's home. i$ About fifty ladies enjoyed the bridge tea given by Mrs. Benjamin C. Lockwood at Fort Douglas on Wednesday. It was quite the largest affair given at the Post during the week. i$ That was a foxy bride who arrived home in time to blame the affliction in hubby's ear to mother and sister. And from the way she tells it she is a generous soul, for she is willing to share a third of the blame, though she says her other relatives are entirely responsible. Its a long ear that can stand a three cornered conversation. Mrs. Samuel Paul and Miss Ethel Paul entertained enter-tained at an informal tea on Wednesday in honor of Mrs. Robert J. Caskey. 5 A beautiful wedding of Wednesday was that r ; Miss Edyth Hale and Thomas Hunter of Monterey, Cal.. The ceremony took place in the morning at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick A. Hale, the Rev. Elmer I. Goshen officiating. A wedding breakfast followed, and Mr. and Mrs. Hunter took the noon train for California, where they will make their home. t & j$ Wouldn't it be fine to stir up a little bit of real excitement? i$ Mrs. O. W. Powers entertained a number of ladies at a bridge tea on Wednesday. 5 The only large affair in sight between now and the holidays is the charity ball, which, of course, will be semi-public, though the ladies having hav-ing the affair in charge state that it will be a great social success. At any rate, it will be something some-thing to do in a worthy cause, and as several smart dinners are in sight for that evening, there is promise of a good time. The floor committee alone consisting of the irresistible Georges, should prove an attractive feature. t$ i$ "There goes my lecture course," remarked a young married man the other night, as his wife left the room. It was news, if nothing else, and got a good laugh at the little dinner where he originated it. In view of the near approach of "The Prince of Pilsen" company, one young man in town is anxiously awaiting some kind of a list that may indicate just who is in the company, for when these players were here before, the man made a promise, and in a poor little crimpy hand on the back of a withered postal, bearing a picture of the Golden Gate, there came the message, "You have broke your promise." If the personnel of the chorus happens to still be the same, the young man will probably take a little trip until the close of the engagement here. tC 5 Mrs. N. M. Hamilton is expected home next week after a flying trip to New York, where she went to purchase some of the newest winter wear for women. |
