Immediately the hand was filled with a roll of currency, and she quietly left the cage. A depositor at the window, who knew the young benedict, asked: "Who is the little lady?" ; "That is my wife," said the other, as he checked off the deposit slip. ' "Ah, gwan," said the customer, "don't lie to me 'and he walked away wondering why no one could be truthful. A tidal wave of good things must be in store for the1 social herd, for never in the history of these valleys of the mountains has there been such a deadly calm in the social sphere. The new motto of the state of "Busy All the Time" has made no difference to the ermine union, and its members float along as placidly as the water wagon with seemingly nothing to dis-' dis-' turb their absolute quietude. ' Of course lots of little things happen most of, them out of print but generally speaking, this has not been a brilliant season socially, and even the gossips and the match-makers have applied their talents to worthier subjects. Smart social stunts seem to go in cycles like everything else, and by another winter there may be an awakening, unless the resting habit has taken such a firm hold on the valvet clad that we will have to wait for another generation to infuse in-fuse a little life into the social game. But at that, it will not be a long wait with so many clever youngsters growing up like jim-sons. jim-sons. (,76 A little story, mentioning them all with their numerous achievements would not be amiss, but it cannot be published for more than one reason. There is no one courageous enough to publish a list of the j wonders, for inadvertantly a name might be left out, and no one who was not in close proximity during the Spanish inquisition j would try to realize what would happen to the writer should such a thing occur. And as for the saying and doings of these children, the record of any one of them according to the fond mother would make a history of the world ashamed of itself. tC tC Henry Peery has smoked nothing but cigars since his delightful hospital party in the fall, and the other day he was overheard asking a friend how to keep a box of Havanas moist. That ought to be a simple matter with so many sponges among the fellows who enjoy his hospitality. tC Salt Lake is surely going motor mad this coming summer, and from the number of orders for new cars that are being sent to the eastern market for early delivery, everybody who doesn't own a machine will have a friend with room enough for one more. The Packard seems to be among the most popular cars for 1906, and already there is a premium of $400 offered by Boston people for Packards that can be delivered by May 1st. It is rumored that one or two will be seen in this city in the spring. The Motor Age speaking of the Packard Limousine to be exhibited at the Chicago show says: "A particularly luxurious limousine has been turned out by the Packard people. The body is in brewster green upholstered in leather to match. It is fitted with electric lights and has capacious pockets for papers, toilet articles and other traveling necessities. The rear seat carries three comfortably and there are also two folding seats, With the two in front this makes accommodations accom-modations for seven. The driver is completely protected by a glass screen over the dash which slides to the roof when not in use, and side curtains. cur-tains. Russell A. Alger, ex-secretary of war, and now United States senator from Michigan, is. the owner of this car." This surely sounds enticing. - - The new sight-seeing automobile recently brought here by the Utah Auto company will be a novelty for tourists and a great convenience for Country Club and picnic parties. Other new machines that will be here early are the 1906 'Thomas for Mr. Jacob Moritz, and the latest model of the Reo, purchased by L. L. Downing. It is said that Sam Newhouse will purchase a new car, that Henry McCornick is figuring on a new one, and that Charlie Whitley and D. C. Jackling will order at once. It was the intention of the two last named to attend the January bubble bub-ble shows in the east to make selections, but both were detained on business. Thomas Kearns is another prospective purchaser. Judge Powers likes the sport and will invest again, and Walter Filer arid Earnest Bamberger will also buy a couple of chug-chugs. Doubtless there will be many names added to this list before the season is much further ad-vanced, ad-vanced, all of which is hailed with delight by those who like to go some. Then, too, it should mean enough fines along the country road to make Murray a large and thriving city. & ii Those in society who can afford it are making mak-ing this city sort of a road house to be used for a week or two in the spring and fall. It is the intention in-tention of nearly everybody to fly to the country as soon as the warm weather begins this year, I : , , and 'most of' those with that intent are away at ;i present or will spend the next two months in thS"' j east or California. " v j & & ' Colonel and Mrs. Holmes, who are in southern California, have their motor with them, and Mrs. . Jay Harris, who will join them soon, will ship ! her Pope-Toledo to Los Angeles in order to enjoy the roads down there until those hereabouts are better. 5 The Frank McGurrins are among the latest arrivals on the coast, and the Ned Jerrys and Walter Filers will spend February at Coronado. , Mrs. Sam Adams has returned to Denver, and ; will be greatly missed by her friends in this city. t ! Mrs. Charles Walker goes east today to be gone several weeks. Mrs. Walker will visit Mrs. Clement in Washington, and later both will go to ; New York for a brief visit. ' 11 Mrs. John E. Woodward and Miss Judge, who , left on Wednesday, will visit in the east some 1 time. Miss Judge may go to Europe before re-; turning here. jt The Lou Terrys and the Clifford Pcarsalls are among those who will breath the balmy air , at Del Monte during February. It is not improbable improb-able that Mr. Terry will take a trip to Japan be- fore returning. " t$ ; The wedding of Miss Sara Park and Lieutenant Lieu-tenant Beebe, which will take place at St. Paul's church on January 30th, will be quite the event of the week. A large reception will be given in their honor by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Park and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. McMahon at the Ladies' Literary club on the Saturday evening preceding the wedding. . The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Cosgriff and Edward E. Fife will take place next Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cosgriff Cos-griff on Brigham street, and will be the event of ! the week. The wedding will be followed by a large reception. In honor of Miss Elizabeth Cosgriff, Mrs. A. C. Ewing and Mrs. W. C. Alexander entertained at bridge on Monday afternoon. It was a beauti- j fully appointed affair, attended by about thirty 1 ladies. & 1 Mrs. George Jay Gibson and Mrs. Dana T. Merrill are going to have an elegant luncheon this afternoon, and every appointment will be perfect. ; Some of their friends will share in the festivities also, for Mrs. E. O. Howard is giving the lunch- eon in honor of these ladies. i ? , Mrs. Harry Knight entertained the "500" club on Thursday evening at her home on First street." Through some unavoidable delay, only 499 were present. . & & The University club was the scene of a beautiful beauti-ful luncheon on Tuesday, when Miss Laura Sherman Sher-man entertained in honor of Miss Elizabeth Cos- , griff. Covers were laid for thirteen. t '. The Ernest Bambergers have returned from ; II. New York and have as their guest Mr. Crapo, who visited here with Mr. Bamberger a couple of j years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Bamberger entertained at din ner in his honor Wednesday evening. i$ t$ fcr There is a great deal of talk about giving a society so-ciety vaudeville at the Orpheum some evening in the near future for the benefit of a charitable organization. There is any amount of talent, and some ability, in the smarter set, .which might be ; put to good advantage if the Orpheum people can , be( made to see it that way. One night makes a difference in receipts, to be sure, but judging from past performances, money could be made, even if : the theater were paid for. ; ; Half a dozen good programs could be ar- j ranged in as many minutes, and after the preliminary prelimi-nary arrangements, a couple of weeks should suffice suf-fice to get. the show in shape. It is a good idea, and will not interfere in the least with the Press club's production of "Pinafore" "Pina-fore" in the spring. Terry Boal is here again and will remain several sev-eral weeks in charge of architectural affairs at the new town of Garfield. Mr. Boal is a great wit, very popular socially, and his numerous friends will be glad to welcome him back for an indefinite stay. Mrs. Seton Lindsay will be hostess at a bridge tea to be given next Tuesday. 1$ t$ Cards have been received from Mr. and. Mrs. Robert J. Coleman announcing the marriage of their daughter Estelle to the Rev. Stanley R. Fisher of Ramona, Cal. fcy t$ t$ Miss Elizabeth Cosgriff was the guest of honor at a beautiful dinner on Wednesday evening given by Miss Lillian Fitch. Covers were, laid for sixteen. six-teen. A table in red with the color scheme brought out in lights and blossoms is always the most cheerful table decoration, and that .shade predominated at the dinner, which, was most artistic ar-tistic in every appointment. The wedding of Miss Gertrude M. Hartman and George E. Skelton, which took place at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday evening, was a great surprise to their many friends, who quickly learned of the happy event even if the pre liminaries were conducted in Farmington. jH The bride is a charming, accomplished young mm woman, and Mr. Skelton is a young musician of exceptional ability. They will make their home in . this city. |
