Show I, ? Saunterings Q The hoBt of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Theodoro K Amussen, who a week ago wore Miss Lorna Rus- H sell and "Ted" Amussen, have scarcely recpv- H ered the composure which was theirs preceeding B the announcement that Farmington had been the H scene of their wedding a few hours before, fol- H i lowing a courtship which lasted just ten days I I after their first meeting. In the happiest of moods, the bride and I groom had dined on "The Roof," danced at the B Country club and society awoke at noon on H Sunday to learn that they had just given a wed- B ding breakfast, and would be at home a fortnight H ' at the hotel before starting for Europe. L No one not even their relatives knew of K their plans, and to say that the smart ones were Mf surprised is putting it mildly. VA One seldom meets a girl with the effulgent m personality possessed by Mrs. Amussen, and a j couple of years on the stage and a season in the H best socity in Manhattan have served only H to develop it to an extent that assures her popu- M larlty wherever she is. The daughter of Hal M Russell and Ada Dwyer Russell, it was but nat- M ural that she should choose a stage career and Vfl make a success of it. Between seasons she has Vfl visited her old home here where her friends &H are legion. M Mr. Amussen, whose principal interests are M In this city and Logan, arrived from abroad late ,' in the winter, and is well known and liked by H j a largo circle of friends. He Is an accom- M plished scholar, and a splendid career is predict- m i ed for him in his chosen profession, the law. i M Sort Williams is singing a new song in Chi- B cago, the refrain running, 'T)e man who wrote B do Vampire certainly knowed my wife." Well, B J of course, wo are mentioning no names, but he B i missed one or two around here. H ! B It is becoming a regular habit for a number B . of Ogden people to motor down to Salt Lake B ' Saturday evening, dine at Maxim's, the Louvre, B "The Roof," or the Country club, and later en- B ' joy the dancing, returning in their motors by IB . moonlight. The habit should have been formed B long ago and it is to be hoped that many others B will follow the example they have set, for there B I are twenty or thirty of them who go together a B great deal, who are better sports and better H spenders and know how to enjoy themselves H more than any similar clique we can think of at H home. There is nothing which will promote a H better feeling between the two cities than fre- H quent social visits back and forth. Keep it up. M ' Bj The new sign in the men's locker at the Coun- B i try club, admonishing them not to remove their H coats while in the dining room, handed a laugh H to a lot of old timers, who were under the im- H pression that most of the members knew better H than to act at the club the way they do at home. H Perhaps, however, the sign is for the benefit of H some of the new members. H H A quaint yarn is told by some Newlyweds, H who recently eloped to Farmington in the night H and were married by a justice of the peace, after H the county clerk had been aroused from his Hi Blumbers in order to provide the necessary pap- H ers. It seems that the clerk in those parts has H the unusual rural name of Hyrum, and after H Hyrum had struck a light and rubbed his eyes H and finally grasped the idea that the young H people standing before him wanted to be mar- H ried, he pondered a few moments, massaged the JB stubble on his chin and said, .'ffiy gum, I don't IB know how I can get'dressed and go down to that H there court house for less than $5.00." The groom, who had been quite certain that the price would bo five times that readily acquiesced and the procession to the court house began. The exodus to Brighton, which began the first of the month, still continues and the camp up in the pines and quaking-asp's is gay with parties in the cottages and the hotel, which under un-der its new management is more popular than over before. "Under the new regime, there is ill! ifev ii MM Mrs. Theodore Amussen ( nee Russell) Whose Sudden Marriage at Farmington was the Surprise of the Summer In Society regular food to be had, electric lights have been installed and many comforts have been added that should have been there long ago. Hundreds Hun-dreds of people have motored up during the past fortnight and there are any number of parties par-ties planned for today and the three holidays at the end of next week.

Mr. and Mrs. C. Ira Tuttlo and Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Parsons have issued invitations for a dancing party at the Country club on Tuesday evening next, which is the most important society so-ciety event scheduled for the week to come. Talk about stealing an act, as they say in vaudeville parlance one September bride-toibe announces a wedding planned to be ou a par in splendor with the most elaborate, and chooses a week in which she is certain there will be no other event of the kind. Presto! The following week comes the announcement of another society so-ciety wedding dated two days before in the same month, and while everybody 1b smiling at the friendly rivalry for first honors between the friends, a third friend says nothing, but jumps in a motor car, and tells the news after it is all " over. When it comes to Btealing an act, amateurs haven't a chance with .a real performer. . "Caught in the Rain" has not been seen here for several years, but a performance was given at Plnecrest on Monday evening that had the Collier production skinned a canyon mile for the last word in excitement. 'But Monday was wash day, anyhow, and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience except one or two who stayed at home. The gold room of the Alta club was the Bcene of a beautiful luncheon on Tuesday when Miss Dorothy Ingram entertained fifteen of her friends in honor of Miss Mary CLuman and Miss Virginia Beatty, both of whom are to be married in the early autumn. Miss Adelaide Woodruff, the charming daughter daugh-ter of Mrs. Russell C. Woodruff, gave a tea at her homo on Thursday afternoon, which was attended at-tended by a large number of the girls of the younger set. The affair was in honor of Miss Helen Rand, Miss Theresa Bethel, Miss Ellen Lyons and Miss Erminie Calvin. |
