Show ' . I "J"" '': Society Sauntering. II 1 1 ' I The formal opening of the theatrical season I I on Thursday evening was the signal for the I ' I smart folks to exhibit a foxy lot of make-ups I ,1 I hitherto unseen, as well as many effects which I ! i j 1 have gone through the moth ball ordeal so often I '(!' ffi that they may really be considered heirlooms. But I f f everything contributed to the glad array, and for I J; Ik one, Miss Barrymore was pleased. E ; m And she was not the only one, for it was sort lip of a housewarming, a reuniting after the various ; I goings and comings of the summer, rather a mu- I , , jg tual admiration society, except for the ladies who ' yj could talk behind their fans, and they are so con i ' 3 stituted that they will do that even at the final t , . 8 kig show in the afterwhile. I f i i$ I t , There were many little suppers after the play, ' ' ' ! ; Miss Barrymore, Mr. Jack Barrymore, Mr. Mc- f 'j Rae, and Mr. Kearney of the company, and a j jit ( number of the villagers being the guests of the j W. P. (Billy) Kisers. The ethics of the profes- ' j sion forbid the telling of many of the things that' ;; ' i might be interesting, but the supper was a huge I success, with Miss Barrymore the star of the oc- i j casion, and Brother Jack, the busy raconteur, a ! j hit in a minute. And at the luncheon given at the ; 1 1 Country Club by the same hostess on Friday, this i ' I ; ! , charming fellow was by accident the only man, j j , i surrounded by ten young ladies. I'd like to see ' !: i the mane of the lion that ever received such a j j stroking as fell to the lot of Barrymore. ,;' '! i 2 & & ; : i ! Tom Schumacher is having a busy time dodg- j ing invitations before his departure for the east, 'iilfl - where he will remain indefinitely. He has been busy day and night saying good bye to his old ! i I ! ! friends, and the work is not yet finished. !! '' j Clarence McCornick entertained at a large " ' dinner in his honor last evening, and Mr. Whitely will be the host at a similar affair the coming j j ! 'H week. ' Jj It is with extreme regret that society bids !' i n ' J j farewell to this good fellow. He is a host in a M ( j f thousand, as witness his dinner of a year ago, I ' ',f which has never been equaled hereabouts, and j, j I for genuine popularity, there are few who enjoy J i ' so much of it as this prominent clubman. ; , I , j, If his path is to be the rosy one his friends 1 1 i hope for, their only wish is that it will wind this m' , way. So long, Tom, those were the happy days, i Jt j jt fK , lj The wedding of Miss Eloise Sherman, daugh- , '; ter of Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Sherman, and Mr. i !' . George Jay Gibson, was the event of the week jlrif !j socially. The ceremony took place at the home hliil! of the bride on Wednesday evening, Bishop . , . i , Scanlan officiating. ;l The relatives and the intimate friends of the ij i j j) bride and groom were the only ones present at j the wedding, which, in the richness of its artistic jllj'j j , appointments, was very beautiful indeed. The j I j : , wedding was rather an ideal affair, due more than fjjjfr ' ! I anything else to the idea of the bride, for few u;jf . were invited who had not been friends in school j , -days, and the happy wishes of such friends are The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Laura Sherman, as maid of honor, and the bridesmaids brides-maids were Miss Belle Parsons of Washington, D. C, Miss Kate Williams, Miss Anna McCornick, McCor-nick, and Miss Gertrude McGrath. Mr. J. Walcott Thompson was best man for Mr. Gibson. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Gibson left for California, and will be away for several weeks. Such an array of exquisite presents as were showered upon Mrs. George Jay Gibson is rarely seen. One in particular, to which more than ordinary or-dinary notice is due, was the necklace, of pearls presented by Mrs. Gibson, the mother of the groom. It was the only ornament worn by the bride, and is an heirloom of worth and great beauty. & & & The pink and white chosen for the color scheme for the Gibson-Sherman wedding was the perfection of dainty coloring. In the gowns of the girls in the wedding party, in the decorations of the room, everywhere the effect was delightful, delight-ful, and seen to no better advantage than in the dining room, where, except for the Cluny. lace, the table bore nothing but cut glass and pink roses. Not a bit of silver, nothing to detract from the beautiful effect of the sparkling glass and the blossoms. Mrs. E. O. Howard's idea, I understand, and surely a pretty one. By the way, Marjorie Howard How-ard as the flower girl was a dream of beauty, in dainty pink and white. 3? vit tv You can hear funny things in a Pullman when the train stops suddenly, just the same as you can in a theater when the orchestra quits. I noticed that they got on at Ogden and seemed very devoted. It was a new one to me, but of course I paid no attention, even if both are prominent socially, both here and in the Junction City. About ten miles out of Ogden, there was a jerk, arid the train halted, and as it did so he read, "I may be yours again." Nothing much in that, except the identity of the travelers, and unabashed he held one of her hands in his, and the poetry in the other hand, and this without the use of any other hand. I think there will be an announcement by a week from today. Miss Leta McMillan was the hostess at a bridge party on Thursday afternoon in honor of Miss Kennedy of New York, and Miss Leila Trent. The first dance of the winter season will occur oc-cur week after next. It will be a charity ball for the benefit of the charity patients at St. Mark's hospital, and General Geoghegan has graciously allowed the ladies in charge of the event the use of the state armory. iC C $ There will be a table d'hote dinner at the Country Club this evening. The, many friends of Mrs. George F. Downey have been welcoming her during the week. James A. Pollock entertaine, at a theater party in her j honor on Thursday evening. Major Downey is at present stationed in San Francisco. Along with half a dozen other Salt I Lakers, I saw him at the opening performance of I "The Pit" on Monday night. The audience looked I very home like, to tell the truth, with a scatter- I ing of many of our own first-nighters present. H xi I The wedding of Miss Elaine Cecilia Farrell I and Brigham T. Cannon will take place in Omaha I on October 11. B 5 I Mrs. Edward McGurrin was the hostess of a 1 beautiful luncheon at the Country Club on Thurs- I day in honor of Mrs. W. Pr O'Meara. I & & I Mrsi D. R. Gray and Mrs. W. P. Kiser enter- 1 taincd at a bridge tea on Monday in honor of I Mrs. Kiser's mother, Mrs. E. J. ' Chambers of I Washington, D. C. I & t A quiet home wedding of the week was that of I Miss Laura E. Shier and Arthur R. Parsons, I which took place on Thursday afternoon, the I Rev. W. M. Paden officiating. The bride was at- I tended by Mrs. E. C. Parsons, and E C. Parsons, I brother of the groom, was best man. After a I trip of some weeks on the coast, Mr. and Mrs. I Parsons will make their home in Delamar, Nev. I & & & I Mrs. H. A. Whitney entertained at luncheon I on Monday in honor of Miss Ethel Whitney. 5 I Two announcements of great interest have been made during the past week. I While the announcement of the engagement I of Miss Edith Hale to Thomas B. Hunter of I Monterey, Cal., did not come as a complete sur- I prise, it was not known by many that the wedding I was to take place so soon, and that local society I is to miss this charming girl before another I month has passed. I The marriage of Miss Marguerite Donnellan. I and Mr. Robert Glendinning is another wedding I of interest that will take place during the fall. I Two state fair events in which the society I people of the city are expressing special interest 1 are the bench show and the horse show. It has 2 been a good many years since a bench show was I attempted in the state. A long time ago there I was an exhibition of fine dogs at a state fair, but the varieties were not numerous, nor was the in-1 in-1 terest great. This year, however, the bench show II will be one of the most important features of the II fair. El Up to- date more than 250 dogs have been 1 entered in the competition. Prizes are offered gl for every breed recognized by the American Ken- II nel club, and the rules of that organization will l govern the awards. There will be fourteen dif-II dif-II ferent kinds of spaniels, thirteen of terriers, gl twelve of hounds. Then there will be bull dogs II and bird dogs, Great Danes, malamutes, collies, II Newfoundlands, St. Bernards and others. In the horse show the owners of fine teams and turnouts will compete. One afternoon during the fair, which begins October 2 and runs through October 7, will be given over to the horse shw parade. It is the intention to make the awaids in the presence of the spectators. |
