H B It is nice to know from the Denver account of H the party given by Airs. Sam Adams for Alias God- HI des that the Stephon Babcooks have taken with ! Denver society. To have succeedod in arousing a certain amount of interest in the ranks of the H elite of the Colorado capital after having been in Hj'1 the city only three years is really a record in social accomplishment, though Mrs. Babcock's tact B and unaffected charm of manner, and Mr. Bab- H cock's agreeableness and marvelous capacity for B many things could scarcely fail to make claim for Bj early distinction.

Hf & & Hj The announcement of the engagement of H MisB Aileen Maclean and Lieutenant Robinson was Hj the signal for the planning of any number of af fairs for the pretty little bride to be, and between now and the date sot for the wodding, there will be much doing in honor of this popular girl, who has. always had so many friends hore. Lieutenant Robinson is a soldier of the old school and a splendid follow, a combination which has made him one of the best liked officers at. the post & Before another week the Twenty-ninth will have left, and Fort Douglas will be ready for another an-other command. The changes at the different army posts have been so sudden and so frequent since the Spanish war that civilians have hardly had time to get well acquainted with the oiilcors and ladles at the garrison, though many a young officer has had timo to make away with a bride from among the holies of town. Society oircles will greatly miss the Twenty-ninth Twenty-ninth and if reports are to bo believed the people peo-ple at the fort will miss Salt Lake, so with th& farewells there are nothing "Jd wishes for the days ahead. & & Among those ontertaining at dinner at the Country Club this evening are Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth Ells-worth Daggett, and Messrs. Do Witte and George Knox. & & & Miss JEmilie Bannister, of Ogdan, who Is visiting vis-iting at the JLe Grande Young home in Red Butte Hollow, was the guost of honor at ja. tea given by tho Misses Alton and Jasmine Young on Wednesday Wednes-day evening. The affair was ontiroly Informal, and the beautiful beau-tiful grounds afforded a welcome relief for the guests who had beon sweltering in the city during tho day. .... There's something too about the hospitality of this home that is so whole-hearted and roal that every invitation seems to road like "come again. ' & & & Ben Slegel's dinner at tho University club on Tuesday evening In honor of his uncle, Dr. Ulman of Baltimore, brought out nearly all of the youthful beauty and chivalry In the city limits and was one of the smartest dinners of the week. It was given on the roof garden of tho club accompanied by a fine nrohejlrn and a moon that for perfection looked as though it had been ordered for the occasion. oc-casion. Ono of the pleasant features of the evening even-ing was the chaperoning of the party by one nf the most charming college widows. & & Mrs. Arthur Behal of New York, was the guest or honor yesterday at a large card party given by her mother, Mrs. Simon Bamberger. & & t Tho Frank Judges entertained a largo party at supper at their pretty country home in the Cot-tonwoods Cot-tonwoods on Sunday evening. Sunday suppers in ibe country are quite the thing of late, and since the motors have cut the distances to pieces all a hostess has to do is to provide tho supper and the invitations and the rest is easy. & & & In honor of her brother Mr. Lyster Chambers who will return to the east today, Mrs. W. P. .KIser entertained informally at her homo tho other evening some twenty friends enjoying the affair. & & Just another mpnth and the summer is over. A week or two more and the fall has gone and then the winter. Isn't that a terrible thing to think of? Even the philosophy of resignation which comes with the passing of the years does not make one reconciled to the thought of the awful-ness awful-ness of winter whic'i is simply a terrible obstacle to get ovar. Whoever suggested cold weather in the first place made the biggest kind of a. mistake. mis-take. Most things are dreary enough without th ohange in the seasons adding to the misery. . t i e There has never been such a profusion- of mus. tard blossoms In the fields down tho valley, and with such, cheerful decorations free for tljo picking pick-ing it is quite remarkable that there haven't beon. more receptions this month.. i & & Miss Katheryn Geddes will return from Denver Den-ver in a day or two, .where she has been the guest for several weeks of Mrs. Stephon Shaw. . J? MJss Gardner and Miss Duffle, who aro visiting Miss Boss and Miss Mildred. McMillan, woro given a luncheon by Mrs. Edward J. Roberts at tho Country olub on Monday.

Edna Bailey entertained informally on Thursday afternoon for Miss Aileen Maclean. Cv A new line of thought was opened to a young cashier in one of the local banks recently when in the midst of a conversation he was having wtlh one or two gentlemen a lady who had an account at the bank dropped In to sink into her sinking fund. It. seems that both the lady and the banker had recently traveled for a day or two on tho same train, and that unintentionally the banker had bumped Into the fair one while she was going to the dressing room. In the bank she wanted to be agreeable so she rushed up to the young man and slapping him on tho wrist exclaimed, "O, you naughty man, you saw me in my dream dress," greatly to the edification of the gentlemen present. Rather coy what? & & & Mrs. Richard Stingley and Miss Sella Stingloy were the hostesses at a beautifully appointed luncheon at the Country Club on Wednesday.

Thoy will bo back In a few days with the honored coat of tan and swearing that thoy have had another lovely summer. jff & & & Misa Ethel Partridge was the guest of honor at an afternoon 'affair given on Wednesday by Miss Bvolyn Thomas and Miss Anna Adams. & & & And now If., some kind entertainer will give something original society will bless him or her for maiiy days to come. The trout and chicken have really done more than their duty for one short-summor and it would be delightfully surprising sur-prising if something different happened at some dinnor or luncheon during the open season for such affairs. & Mrs. H. N. Mayo and daughter havo gone to 9 California accompanied by Miss Louise Spencer. Dr. Mayo will join them in August and tho party will bo away until September. Arrangements havo -been made by a dozen of the intermediate set to spend tonight and tomorrow to-morrow at the Hermitage in Ogdon canyon. Those who do not go up by train tomorrow will leave in automobiles this evening. Jt One of the prettiest motor trips on tho surrounding sur-rounding map in Provoward, with dinner down at "Beefsteak Harrisons." Beefsteak, by the way, U a character and enough fun in himself to make the trip worth while if you don't happen to like the scenery, which is nevertheless attractive. Thero isn't a girl who has dined at Beefsteak Harrison's who hasn't a case on him, and a stop at tho tavern tav-ern of this boniface is quite a feature of every week for the more enthusiastic among the mo torists. & & & Sounds like old times to hear that Black Hock is again a place where one may go for a dip in tho briny. Twenty years ago gosh, its awful to remember that far back Black Rock was tho beacon for all summor joys and now that it ha3 come into Its own again, there is every reason why it should become popular. In the old davg it afforded the best bathing at the beach and it isn't ohangod greatly in tho moantlme. At her home on east Brigham street, Miss Kathorlno Judge entertained at a beautiful luncheon lunch-eon on Tuesday In honor of her sister Mrs. Woodward, Wood-ward, who will soon sail for Europe, and Miss Wymond, who is spending the summer here. Tho ! color scheme of pink was carried out effectively I In tho dainty decorations. Covers were laid for I tvolvo. & & & A number of small dinners and theatre parties fr have been arranged for next Thursday evening tho opening night of "Tho Prince Chap," which is said to bo a bully good show. It will bo a pleasant relief aftor tho monotony of tho past two or thro weeks. i It will bo a lucky ohap who gots that tall slender slen-der girl with tho brains In tho younger set, but It is doubtful If It will bo anybody around here at proient. She is tho youngest daughter of one of the oldest families and by nature the cleverest conversationalist in her set. Of course she has had unlimited advantages to go with what was thero to begin with, but thoy haven't spoiled her a bit, and she's wonderfully agreeable, girMsh, and refreshing. |
