Show lily Revue De La Ville $ M ' TV yTR. AND MRS. L. F. RAINS entertained at an B ' ' -iVl informal dinner at their country home In the B Cqttonwoods on Christmas. They did it in their B usual manner, thrit Is to say with such charming B ' hospitality as is to bo found in only a few homes B t I and at rare intervals In this period of reconstruc- B ' tlon. But that & not the whole story oh, my no. B A little after midnight when the guests began M t to1 depart, and none remained save the R. W. j k J Sloans and tho Henry Dinwoodeys', the Sloan M ( f Buick, which is the pride and joy of the Sloan M, menage, and the Dinwoodey Ford, which occupies a warm place in their hearts, refused to budge, Bi and nqthing could make either move. Try as they B did, the owners and the host could not induce B thorn to ramble afoot, not even when they B breathed on them. B Finally tho Ford was left to its own devises B while Henry went back to the house, but Bob B i telephoned for a taxi, and while waiting gave B A a monologue that had anything beaten on the big K a ; time. But no taxi came, B ill The famous Weston has nothing on Robert as B 1 1 a pedestrian, so in the early dawn he started B"C i ' walking cityward and a little after 5 o'clock down B ' Sugarhouse way, the taxi caught up with him, H and-just before he reached home along came the H Buick. Robert was so mad that he spoiled all of H the effect of his training by eating a hearty break- H fast, and going to bed. 1 H, rP HE Nowhouse and the bully good revue there H J- have proven most attractive to the holiday H l crowds, and it has been hard work to break in H without reservations during the week. The va- H , , .rious numbers are better than any ever seen in H a cabaret entertainment here, and there is no end H of fun and good music during the hours of the H a performance, The circus act pi;t on this week H J Is U corker, and there are any number of other H features to add to the joy of the evening. And H v the girls oh, boy! H , Our front families and lots of others have been H 7 very much in evidence, in fact, there has been H more life there than in any place in town. If you H want to get n tonight, speak up early, and show H some speed when, it is time to go. B H ) T BAR RITER said merry Christmas to a group M , I i ' of friends on Christmas, and ho said it in a M good old-fashioned way with a Christmas dinner at M which nothing was overlooked. 'It was one of the m , ' happiest and most informal gatherings of the holl- H j, days, and was followed by a delightful breakfast H I given by Harold Bird. ANY number of home affairs are planned for . New Year's eve, with and without, and the fl ; outlook is very encouraging. M i Besides, there will be a perfectly good party i '-' on the Orpheum stage after the midnight per- M , ' formance, and at Pantages, Frank Newman, if he B returns in time, will Certainly see to it, that there B is (a repetition of former New Year festivities. B Then the Newhouse and Wilson managenients are fli planning extra attractions, and all in all, the dead HB old year is going to be properly interred. B H ( rr HE nightly, lengthy visits f of a prominent B ' j J- young married man to the home of a very j attractive married wbman are causing so much j comment that it would hot be surprising if news b- of his attentions reached the husband who is H J still at an officers' training camp. H -His persistent devotions are all the more no- HB A ticoablo because of the expensive and conspicuous H p car he drives, the machine standing by the hour B out in the cold while its owner is comforting HB"' ' ' the lonesome one who is doing the best she can BLr- to keep the homo fires burning while her liege lord is away. It is rather disgusting though, and her old friends wouldn't mind it so much, if the two decided to bo a little more clever and discreet dis-creet in their platonic friendship. THE .Commercial club in a riot of turkey, plum pudding and ice water, celebrated the coming of the holidays with a luncheon on Monday that brought out a large number of celebrities, as well as the usual crowd that helps to start the excitement when a suggestion of extra food is noised about. Among the distinguished guests of the occasion occa-sion were Captain Sears, Captain Orlob, Lieutenant Lieuten-ant Officer, and other returned heroes, and Apostle Qeorgo A. Smith and Chauncey Overfleld at tho S. A. R. table entertained each other on tho financial and ecclesiastical situations. They seem to be very friendly latterly, and possibly we are about to hear oL' a new political alliance, though Spinach still leads by a hair in facial adornment. adorn-ment. AT one place at the Commercial club luncheon, a gentleman of suddenly acquired wealth who is quite a laugh among those who have been In a position to observe his breaks, found a fork at each side of his plate and no knife. He couldn't understand ltr but others could for House Manager George Cranfleld explained that he wasn't going to take any more chances with known sword swallowers when the management was notified in advance that one would be present. THE host of friends of Dr. Elmer I. Goshen, are hoping and praying that ho may soon recover . from the attack of influenza from which he is suffering suf-fering and that they may see him rapidly restored to his usual health, which, however, has not been the best for some time. Probably he brought the recent attack on himself him-self by his unremitting work for others who have suffered during the epidemic, and while his condition condi-tion is of grave concern to his friends, they believe be-lieve that his strength of will will aid materially in restoring him to his normal condition. He is too big a man and too valuable a citizen to take so many chances, and when he recovers someone with enough influence should prevail upon him to stop going under pressure at least part of the time.
