Show , Socially Inclined H . It was a pink and white affair, this dance B ; given by Miss Kinney in honor of her sister, Mrs. Dougherty, and it is safe to venture the state-i state-i n v that a daintier, prettier performance will not take place during the season. Pink and white H was the general effect in the gowns of the buds, in the blossoms, and if not always in the dresses, there was a pink ribbon skilfully unconcealed , wherever it would appear to best advantage. . There were some stunning blacks and some 1 vaporous blues that more than helped in the col- B J oring of the pretty picture, not to speak of the j . black and blue hidden among the girls who have j the hockey habit. B There were just enough people to make danc- B! ing worth while, and even the men who make a B;. business of staying where the smoke is thickest B; catered into the spirit of fun, and so even those B who usually appear as foliage about the wall B were absent from their accustomed places lost B in the arms of the heroic, and the glory of the Bi beautiful music. B It was a pink and white affair, elaborate in B . appointment, and charming in. every way. H? And besides, there wasn't a woman present H; who did not sound a brand new frou-frou in honor of the event. BB KB Most everbody dined before the event, but Bj; there were three dinners of assorted sizes which were of more importance than the others Bj enough so, in fact, to make the guests an hour or Bj two late in coming. B:: Mrs. Rock Channing was hostess at the largest affair, coming with her guests about ten fllj thirty. And by the way, she never looked pret- Hl tier. Her gown was a delicate pink, and couldn't HB have become her better. The party that dined with Mrs. Filer came later, and also those entertained by Mrs. John E. Woodward. Mrs. Newhousc, with the Filer party, was radiant in white and many jewels. Dances are not her long suit, and she was not among those who stayed late. Each winter, when Mrs. Sammy Sam-my comes to town, that old rhyme comes to mind: "On London stones I sometimes sigh For wider green and bluer sky." These are her sentiments, but after being here a few weeks, she charmingly thanks anyone who will say something like: And when I'm here, alas! alack! I pray the gods to ship me back. 8 8 Mrs. Daugherty is even more attractive than she was before going away, which means something. some-thing. This is not surprising, though. Marriage has that effect on most young women. She was in a graceful gown of white, and Miss Kinney's dress was of that color with a bit of pink in it. It would not be possible to enumerate all of those in white who were well gowned that is, with the intention of living in the town afterwards. after-wards. The array of maids and matrons was dazzling, and this is no flash light fotograf. Mrs. Jamerson was as stunning as usual in an easy shade of pink, and Miss Ruth Kirkpatrick wore a highly original gown of black with gold things to interrupt any severity in the color. It was very striking, notwithstanding the remark of Jack Van Fleet, who said it looked like a sofa pillow. i$ The latest bride, Mrs. Frank Judge, was one of the centers of atraction at the dance. She was dressed in white satin and carried red jacqueminots. jac-queminots. Among other features of her good looks, she has the most beautiful hair, with a glint in it that we read of when we study Titian. & In the fascination of the beauty that took possession of Unity hall on Tuesday night, the funny features must not be overlooked. Some of them are of necessity omitted. But the case of the town was in evidence again, and the evidence evi-dence in awfully funny faced type. There hasn't been anything so laughable since election, and the match is the most perfect one in the world. It is really too bad that there can't be a reversal of form in the peculiar marriage relations that exist in some parts of the state, so that the women might be choosers occasionally. 5 The chief booster for "Mrs. Warren's Profession" Profes-sion" had a good time also, and if George Bernard Ber-nard Shaw could know him, he'd hire the gentleman gen-tleman to use in another play. 5 You know, it places a woman at a distinct disadvantage to tout her as a famous beauty, when it is learned that she is about to come here. It isn't justice to her, and it is a disappointment to everyone else. In the first place, the beauty market here is fairly well crowded, and the visiting girl, or whoever who-ever else she may be, has the keenest kind of competition in a large sample line of home production. pro-duction. So it may prove more satisfactory if we reserve re-serve opinion until the subjects arrive, and who knows perhaps a day may come when a stranger stran-ger who is a real beauty will arrive in town. i$ t$ While on the subject of 'new arrivals, the bird with the long legs left a fine Christmas present at the home of the Walcott Thompsons the i other day. The new member of the family is a boy, and already his name is Walcott. f & j & I A misplaced vest almost stopped procedings before the Kinney dance. .-, Mr. Kinney had placed it in the wrong trunk, and when he got that far along in his maKe-up, there was nothing for him to do but go as a summer man, or borrow a vest. One of Jim Dougherty's was pressed into ser-4 ser-4 vice, but refused to meet by si:: or eight inches, and still the music waited. George Lawrence was in the house, and i; rushed home for father's, which he secured, and Mr. Kinney was pried into it. Two things are certain there would have I been no dance but for the apparel of Henry Law- I rerice, and the willingness of Tim Kinney to squeeze into it. i The surprising thing about the occurrence is the fact that such a strong Socialist as Mr. Lawrence Law-rence would deign to wear dress clothes. fglH You who never are obliged to face the early morning but spend the better portion of it in bed (for that is what makes it the better part) are missing the prettiest little romance that is going on beween a fair-haired girl in the high I school and a young fellow who is in the office of j one of the large concerns here. He is obliged to be in the office at 8 o'clock in the morning and I does not leave until late in the evening, but man- ages to find time before going to his duties to meet this slip of a girl. It must be a sacrifice for both of them to meet on Main street at such I an unholy hour, but there they are every day, ! no later than seven thirty. I Sometimes he brings here a rose, but whether he does or not, she is waiting with the same sweet smile, which only comes with the first grand passion, and probably the springtime will i i 1 1 find them on the way to Farmington or some other foolish haven for young lovers. j& & & Considering the circumstances of both, they will have a dreary time if the courting culminates in marriage, but in the meantime, it's the prettiest pretti-est kind of a romance, and worth an extra shiver or two in the cold morning to watch them. ? The marriage of Miss Antoinette Lambourne and Ernest Fowler took place at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday evening, the Rev. i Elmer I. Goshen officiating. The wedding was I a beautiful affair and was followed by a large reception. re-ception. Those attending the bride were Miss Sue Clark, Miss Alice Fowler and the Misses Lambourne. Mr. Edward S. Ferry was best man for Mr. Fowler. & & & Mrs. R. H. Channing has issued invitations for a buffet luncheon, to be given on next Tuesday Tues-day in honor of Mrs. Frank Judge. The dance given at the Ladies' Literary club last evening by the members of the Uintah club and the younger members of the Twenty Club was the leading event of the week for the younger set, who danced to their hearts' content until . after ten o'clock The promotion of Mr. Alma D. Katz to take charge of the Portland office of the Mutual Life Insurance company will mean that that young - man and his charming wife will make fewer trips to their old home, and they will be greatly missed by their friends here. It is a great advancement ad-vancement for Alma, however, and if he continues con-tinues at the pace he has set, he will probably end up in the big leather chair recently vacated by several members of the McCurdy family. Mr. and Mrs. Katz will spend the holidays in this city. It will be pleasant news to the local friends of General and Mrs. Girard, who were formerly at Fort Douglas, to know that the general, who recently retired from the army, is on the road to a great fortune. It is a mine, of course, and is situated in the northern part of Jaiifornia. & Jt The opening of the new Orpheum theater on Christmas night will be the signal for the social herd to show that they are imbued with the same Bohemian spirit that possessed San Fran-ciscans Fran-ciscans when the Orpheum first opened there. It is a great thing to have Salt Lake on the Or-pheum Or-pheum circuit at last, and it is to be hoped that the town will take to it to such an extent that it will prove a great success. It may be disap-pointing disap-pointing to some to know that there will be nothing to smoke or drink at this Orpheum, but he shows will be good, and that will be something. H i$ The winning of the Paderewski prize by Ar-thur Ar-thur Shepherd over competitors from all parts fl of the country has placed another Salt Lake man prominently before the great public, and it wouldn't be surprising to see this talented young HI musician pack up his kit and leave to accept a I place of importance. He hasn't had time for much of anything since the announcement of his good fortune except to receive the congratulations congratula-tions of his friends. The buds have taken possession of the Alta club the past week, teaching the old idea how to shoot, i Miss May Kervin entertained at a luncheon there on Wednesday afternoon, and Miss Win-hie Win-hie Rhodes was the hostess at another event at the club on Thursday. Miss Kervin's luncheon was a beautiful affair, with the Christmas idea in decorations, dec-orations, and that given by Miss Rhoades was all in violet, with masses of the blossoms artistically arranged about the table. Both luncheons were given in the gold room of the club, and ,if happy shrieks are any criterion, they were most enjoyable en-joyable affairs. c iC tC Mrs. Union Worthington entertains at a large dinner at her home on Christmas night. A very distinguished stag was the dinner given by E. M. Allison on Tuesday evening. Covers were laid for a dozen of his friends, and all came with the title not of the Kentucky kind, either. It was a happy meeting of old friends, and the only regret is that no phonographic phono-graphic record was taken of the brilliant conversation conver-sation that flew around the festive board |
