Show Ij I J Society Saunter trigs. IP Society broke for the country on Memorial Day, and the club presented quite a dizzy appear-'l appear-'l t ance during the hours of buffet luncheon. i The largest crowd of the season was in at- ' ! tendance, and the verandas and grounds were I filled with the members and their guests. The weather was ideal for golf and tennis, as well as I the less violent stunts of talking it over on the front porch or dallying with the clock golf. The major portion of those present were ex-ji ex-ji tremely athletic during the afternoon, though j! many went to the races, and returned for din- ' I ner. There were a number of little dinners given in the evening, but they were all quiet, simple little affairs, and not of sufficient importance to mention men-tion to any extent. There will be prizes for tennis and clock golf at the club this afternoon with a table d'hote ' dinner in the evening, the hostesses being Mrs. 1 L. L. Terry, Mrs. F. S. Bascom and Mrs. R. C. Gemmell. s Mrs. Victor Clement has returned to the city ;jj bringing with her a couple of charming nieces, ! and a phonograph which, if not alluring, is certainly cer-tainly vociferous. Mrs. Clement is a woman in a . thousand', and it is extremely pleasant to have her here, but that has nothing to do with the pre-i pre-i i sentation of the phonograph to the Country Club, which is a threat and a promise upon her part. I ; There's one thing certain, however, the instru- f ment can't be any louder than one or two other ' recent acquisitions. I j; .it j I I We could express a great deal more sorrow $ (J over the automobile accident from which Mrs. if , Frank McGurrin had such a narrow escape, if she j 1 j had arranged that it happen the day before. It ! P isn't pleasant to be scooped by the dailies on a story that happens right in the smart pastures. It ! is hard enough to be obliged to suppress all of the good things that happen in Sleepy Hollow. ' ;j But we congratulate the day on her miraculous j! escape. She was as plucky about it as anyone j j could be, though I noticed that she and Frank h vode in the club victoria and the car the first of j , the week. , & 5 I Sam Newhouse is expected home next week," I the operation upon his eye having been entirely I j successful. With all the projected enterprises that Ij Sam has in sight he will probably have use of 1 1 j both lamps, and he is sensible to wait for the i 'i restoration of his sight He might want to see I ij the plans for a new Country Club, I & & & I The announcement of the marriage of Dick I . Colburn to Miss Rose Butler of Tonopah created j consternation on brokers' row, and among the I 17'" many lady admirers of the successful young broker, who is one of the favored few to make a killing in the new Nevada camps. On brokers' row, because his old comrades were sure he wasn't a marrying man, and among his lady admirers ad-mirers because they have been waiting some time now for his return. His host of friends are sending congratulations. congratula-tions. 1$ Among other who have followed up the right lead in the Goldfield district is Henry Peery, who will be here next week, to talk things over and drop into civilization for a few hours. Judge and Mrs. Henderson and Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Keyes were among those who entertained at dinner on Sunday evening. 5 A bridge party of unusual attractiveness was that given by Mrs. H. L. Miller on Wednesday. About thirty of her friends enjoyed the event. 8 The latest engagement, not yet announced, but a secret no longer, is one that the old friends of the young lady will greatly regret. . ,It. isn't up to anyone to arrange matrimonial matches, but in this case, it is difficult to imagine what her people peo-ple are about. A young snip of a fortune-hunter, who is absolutely bogus, has assumed an air of possession, and the lady seems to like it. All's fair in love and war, except, sometimes, the aftermath. after-math. It is a shame to tell it, but no one else overheard over-heard them, so the two can enjoy it even if I'm onto the secret. It was over a society gate a few evenings since, and looking up at him she said: "I believe I must admit the efficiency of the English arms." The town is full of hold-ups. & t & Many of the friends of Miss Gertrude Mayer and Mr. Charles Crismon, who are to be married soon, have entertained for them during the week, t The graduation exercises have never been prettier, pret-tier, or more largely attended than this year. The week has been fairly full of them, and many more will follow during the coming week. An event of importance for Monday evening is the annual banquet of the High School Alumni Association. The annual breakfast of the Reviewers Club at the home of Mrs. David Evans on Thursday morning was a brilliant event, attended by about twenty members of that select organization. i |
