I H! It was nice to read in one of the Sundays that I j t 1 j "the surroundings were ideal with a large fruit iflll orchard at one side." Could any one blame the I iff? writer for failing to mention the other side? I j ffr I -But it will be nice for the golfers, for whom I f it is said to be specially designed, for if they tire I I llJ '' of the sturdy Scotch game, they can play water lij polo over the remaining holes. And by the way, s HI - there are about twenty-five golfers out of a mem- 111 j, bership of about 250. E I BjTl ' H But the milk is spilled, and if anything can be. j 'M j made of the new site, in a reasonable length of j time, it is the wisest thing for everybody to puLgi ih shoulder to the wheel. Of course those ownupj: I ffiil ' chaffcurs can save their own shoulders, but I nil i tie rest us' we must boost, bearing our sofv-. S I rows philosophically, and remembering that if it ' ! lj takes us longer to get there on a hot day, that fll , the destination will find us thirstier. L IS r i& I mi It is fine for the farmers, too. Sid Hooper, of sai tie 'ron and, as ra'5ecl the price of his farm I ' nj !l: $35,000, and says he is justified, because he will L Hj ; be obliged to keep a night watchman to protect j- i flj! his trout and chicken preserves from the social j' 11 j highwaymen. ' i fll'i j m Speaking of the "Sundays," it is hardly fair for r fij people to impose on the writers, for though they r , mi usually know what they are writing about, a : clever story well put will often catch anyone. ; I n This fool of a woman who is going about town I ; I M mentioning how funny it was that mother had ' -'fW' I electricity in her hair and pa had gas on his ; j I stomach, ought to forget it. But she is no worse i IS I than a hundred others who attribute everything j jfl f they read to the scintillating prattle of their ! J jS j youngsters. ! HmK ' ' This gas anc electrical effect had its origin ality in an eastern paper in the spring, and went through the press at that time. It evidently suited this person who told it as her son's bon mot at a card party one evening, and was surprised because it wasn't published at that time. But at last she got it in print, and let us hope she is happy enough to rest on sonny's laurels until the next Puck arrives. t$ tC There was some real news in the other paper, though. It announced that Mr. and Mrs. Jack McCune were at the Fifth East Hotel. The Greens must have been tickled to read that offering offer-ing from the facile pen. Or was it correct, and is this only an advance notice of what will be when come sthe reign of the eternal feminine of which we have heard so much of late? It is extremely ex-tremely original, and bound to create quite a sensation if many of the young married people follow out the suggestion. cC 5 Among the first to return from a summer abroad are Mrs. C. M. Freed and Ellis Freed, who arrived from the east early in the week". & & & Harold Lamb entertained delightfully on Thursday evening at a dinner dance at the Amelia Palace. The dinner was a most elaborate affair, and it would be hard to find a more beautiful tabid than that at which covers were laid for a dM&:iti his friends. 15 i$ , The Manti Messenger has the right idea, and f jMts roaders will take kindly tothe excellent ad-iLae, ad-iLae, thj public will be greatly benefited in the pture4 It says: Maitjr country girls think they would like to be on the stage." It's a hard life, and they are far better away from the footlights. The Charlie Walkers gave a housewarming at their new home at the Walker Farm on Wednesday Wednes-day evening, and a large party accepted the bounteous Walker hospitality. A feature of the affair was the smashing of another automobile record and incidentally the automobile owned by Mr. Newhouse, his party arriving in the city just twenty-four minutes after starting from the farm, which is going some over such a road. The host was riding street cars the day following, but it was a great run. "Dare Devil" Bert Fuller was at the throttle, guiding the party in safety to town. It is understood that Mr. Fuller's next achievement achieve-ment will be to drive a hack around the saucer track. 1$ A large party of friends will go down to Mrs. A. E. Walker's this evening, to remain over Sun- day. At her house and at the Ray Walker's, the summer has seen almost continual house parties, and a person who passes a chance to enjoy the I hospitality of either place is indeed a foolishness. x$ Mrs. Mary E. Maddison announces the engagement engage-ment of her daughter Mary Louise to Edward Murcoe Garnett, the wedding to take place during dur-ing the coming week. This announcement will be a great surprise to j the many friends of both of the popular young I people. Miss Maddison only recently returned ; from college and planned to go another year, J but the plans are changed. Miss Maddison is most attractive and accomplished, Mr. Garnett is a fine fellow, well liked by everyone, and the match is an ideal affair. !May Irwin in "Mrs. Black is Back" will be here the end of next week, to cheer us up, to the tune of a fine house, for everybody is theater hungry. The theater has been relieved of about ten million bushels of dirt the past ten days, which will be quite a surprise to those who sat in the dust to see "Mrs. Wiggs." The carpet, seats and every nook and crannie in the house have been thoroughly renovated, and as nearly as possible everything is in readiness for the opening of the season 1905-06. Cards have been issued for the marriage of Miss Stella Salisbury and Lewis McCornick. The event will take place at the Salisbury home on the evening of September 6, and will be the most important im-portant event socially of the week. t$ t$ Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Tripp entertained at dinner din-ner on Thursday evening. . t? fcj ! Mr. and Mrs. Mont Ferry entertained at an elaborate dinner at the University club on Thurs- day in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Truman, their guests from Kansas City. The affair took place on the roof garden at the University club, and covers were laid for twelve. & j te Mrs. Charles Henrotin was the guest of honor at a delightful Kensington given by Mrs. Elbridge Thomas on Thursday afternoon. This was one of the smartest afternoon events of the week. |
