Show Saunterings Society Ambrose Bierce Is again In San Francisco and as usual the old newspaper news-paper men, who knew him best In a former day, are getting all kinds of "copy" by following him to some, of his former haunts and the locations which were his haunts before the fire swept them away. As usual he has brought a brand new line of stories with him and one of them, regarding the celebrated Enlish journalist, George Augustus Sala, is particularly good. With Sala and others he spent eight or ten hours one night at the Garri'ck club in London, where the company found a port which was especially pleasing. The gray of the London dawn was appearing at the windows when Sala rang for the waiter andi said, "Bring another bottle of that excellent port and place it under the' table. I'll be there in a minute." a The man who chronicled the above asked Bierce what he considered his f best epigram, but after thinking some minutes, he felt that he could not venture an opinion. Someone said that it was: "Lovely woman! Would that wo could oftener be thrown into your arms without falling into yout-hands" yout-hands" or something like that. But Bierce said no, continuing that he considered this one better: "Adam and Eve had been driven from the garden, but the angel with the flaming flam-ing sword slept. So E've left Adam and stole back into Eden. 'Thank 'God I am again in paradise,' said Adam." Salt Lake society is about to receive re-ceive a couple of startling surprises.

Both of them, the one a charming charm-ing debutante and the other a splendid splen-did chap, are bo popular and prominent promi-nent that the news of their weddings will surely be a startler. The ap- iproachlng nuptials have been arranged ar-ranged with unusual secrecy and there will be an added interest in the wedding of the young man because, be-cause, if reports are true, his happiness happi-ness is to come only after an elopement. elope-ment. The girl, who is going away about the same time, accompanied by her mother, has chosen a millionaire whose lavish expenditures have been the talk of a whole section of the country.

It is generally thought that the nights are too cool for a trip to Brighton at this time of year, but the autumn chill apparently has no terrors ter-rors for one delightful visitor who Is particularly fond of the reds and yel-1 Iowb of the canyons at this time of year. The only Bad part about the trip was that a broken axle on the automobile delayed the return for sTx or eight hours, but In spite of the consternation at the house where she was visiting caused by the unusual delay, the charmer was seemingly very happy over it and declared that there Is nothing in the world so beautiful beau-tiful as a sunrise in Big Cottonwood.
