Show I 1 jl I BS Saunterings BS M Apparently there were no man haters at the fl brilliant breakfast given by the ladies of the fl Wasatch club at the Newhouso on Tuesday, in 1 fact If it hadn't been for the men there wouldn't' I have been any program judging from the suo-jects suo-jects of the toasts, the readings and the music. Among the subjects were "Are Men Entitled to H the Ballott," "What is Home Without a Father, ' H "The Now Man," and Give Us More Leisure or M we Go Mad." Then there was a reading entitled H "How a Matt Reads to Ills Wife," followed by the H song, "A Little Love a Little Kiss." What more H could the men want and why weren't they in- Hj vited? H H Nobody could want a gayer two or three H hours than those at the subscription dance after H midnight on Monday. There wasn't a mob pros- H ent, just enough people there was bully good H music up stairs and down; a lot of .life in the H ball room and more during the supper which was H served in the Georgian room of the Newhouse H at gaily decorated tables. The air was full of ba- H 'loons and carnival ribbons, the tables were sur fl rounded with good looking women, smartly H dressed, and the success of the event opened the H "way for a series of a dozen similar dances, even H if their beginning must be postponed until fall. H The weather is gettermg warmer, there is a H dance at the Country club every Saturday and H the Utah grill and the Newhouse rooms offer H nightly opportunities for dancing and supping so H that a set affair does not prove the1 novelty It H onqe was. However, the exclusiveness of the sub- H scription dance, the fact that everyone ' '8v H everyone else quite well, and that a general spirit H of fun obtained, was responsible for nobody H wanting to go home until it was necessary. H The dance was unique among those of the season. Hj H Speaking of dances and dancers, the best H natural dancer in the city in society, is Mrs. H Charles W. Stimpson. There are half a hundred H fine dancers among the maids and matrons of H every weight bantam, light, welter, middle and H heavy but a dozen stand out distinctly, and H among them, Mrs. Stimpson heads the list. A H fine 'offer was once made her to join the pro- H fessional ranks, but it was declined with thanks. H H The new dances of the past two -years have H brought out any amount of talent and those who H are predicting that the craze will cease, are H certainly mistaken so far as this city goes, for H the numbers of those who are tripping the light H fantastic are constantly being augmented by re- H cruits of all ages. H H San Francisco and the cities around the bay H are having a little laugh over the account of H the Jolliffe-Jackllng wedding which appeared on H ,the front page of one of the coast dailies. It H was a beautiful article written in the best style H of the one who put it together, but was humorous- H ,ly amended by the printer according to the Oak- H , land Tribune. One line was written as follows: H ,"The Jacklings will bo home from their honey- H 'moon in sixty days," but the printer got it, "The Hj Jacklings will be home from their moneymoon Hj )in sixty days." The Tribune further remarked, Hj "as Jackling is a multimillionaire, the printers' H amendment was gratefully accepted. 'Tis money H jmakes the moon go. Colonel Jackling has been H regarded as the greatest matrimonial catch in H fthe West since he arrived from Utah a year HP tae'" The perfect spring makes the Country club the center of interest for those who love the out-of-doors and already, more golfers and tenn's players have entered the lists than ever before. The opening events a week ago attracted a large assemblage, most of whom stayed for the dinner din-ner and dance in the evening and Sunday seemed just as popular on le greens. The entertainmeiii. committee of which Mrs. T. W. Boyer is the head and Mrs. T. G. Griffin and Miss Norinne Thompson the other members, have arranged for a series of events for the next six weeks which it is thought wi'l prove very popular for the members. The regular reg-ular Wednesday luncheons and Saturday evening table d'hote dinners and dances will be given, and there will be teas on each Monday and Thursday with clock golf for a trophy on the latter day. A little later on, card tables will be arranged for these afternoons and it is planned to have some special features at the club every day in the week. There will be no regular host-essess host-essess other than the committee Saturday afternoons, after-noons, but on special occasions and on holidays different members of the club will be asked to take charge. There is nothing like going out In the country to spend the day and dressing after you get there. All the resourcefulness of quick change artists is not confined to the stage as was exemplified ex-emplified recently by the wife of a prominent specialist here who after changing, following a O game of tennis, surveyed her nether makeup and tIk decided that the footwear and stockings would Jii not do to take to dinner In fact, she was quite sure that she couldn't enjoy her dinner unless they were changed. Her friends tried to reassure her, saying that It was merely a matter of form, but nothing would do but that she must telephone her shooer which she did ordering something In grey and asking him to bo kind enough to dash over to another store and match them in stockings. stock-ings. She told him she would be obliged to wear them to dinner forty minutes later that she was at the Country club and Sheridan twenty miles away. Well, he took the bit in his teeth, the change under his arm, and the wheel of his sturdy Ford in his right hand, and in just forty minutes' time she i $vas among those present properly shod JlfRS. EDWIN F. HOLMES WHO RECENTLY ARRIVED FROM PASADENA FOR A BRIEF VISIT HERE and safely encased in the sheerest of shimmer- ins grey. If the habit spreads of sending home for clothes after one gets to the club, it is hoped that those taking it up will stick to shoos and stockings. Here's a beautiful one which naturally comes out of San Francisco.: An elderly millionaire had married a beauteous beaut-eous youpg chorus girl. After their quiet wedding breakfast a deux Astrakhan caviare, eggs Pompadour, Pom-padour, a truffled chicken, fresh peas, champagne cham-pagne so the quiet breakfast ran. "My dear," said the old millionaire, as the fruit course, a superb melon, came on, "tell me, my dear" and he laid his withered hand on her young, fresli one " do you love me for what I am or for what I was?" The beautiful girl smiled down from the -window into the admiring eyes of a young clubman who was passing; then she bent her clear, considering gaze on the gray ruin opposite her, and replied: 'I love you, George, for what you will be." The' Stroler of the Argus in Seattle spins a yarn about a city editor in that city who is some city editor There isn't much going on there he desn't know about and one day the report came in that a man had been killed by jumping out of a window, and a reporter was sent to get the details.. When he returned to the office he was called in. . "Was he crazy?" asked the city editor. : "I should say not," was the reply. "He would have been crazy not to have jumped." "Well, what was the mattef?" "A woman lied to him." 'Well, I think a man is crazy to jump out ot a window for that reason." "But not in this case." "What did she tell him?" "She told him her husband had gone to San Francisco." I Mrs. Edwin F. Holmes arrived from California on Monday and is at the Newhouse. Mrs. Holmes has spent the winter at the hotel Huntington in Pasadena and will be at Venice, California, for a few months during the summer where she and Colonel Holmes have taken a house. They will return here early in the fall and remain through the holidays. The absence of this hostess from Salt Lake society, always creates a void for she may always -be depended upon to give a number of fine affairs af-fairs during her stay. Mrs. Holmes will leave tomorrow for San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Galligher of Omaha, arrived here Mor 'ay and were the guests at the home of the W. S. McCornicks the early part of the week. Mr Galliher is well known here, a relative rela-tive of the McCornicks and McCaskells, and he and his charming little bride were welcomed by the smart set and entertained at a number of affairs af-fairs during their stay. They are now in California, Califor-nia, but will return here on their way home. They were the guests of honor at a "sit-in" for twenty at the Alta club preceding the subscription dance and on Tuesday evening the same friends motored to the country home of the J. Fnrk Judges where they, with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis B. McCor-nick, McCor-nick, amused their guests with a delightfully Informal In-formal dance and supper. One of the smartest affairs of the week was the luncheon given yesterday by Mrs. Benner X. Smith and Miss Margaret McClure in honor of Mrs. Roger W. Powers and Mrs. John S. Selfridge.
