Show I Revue De La Ville NOW it camo to pass that Archie Rykert was promenading without an overcoat the other H evening as twilight was approaching, and in the H course of his spin about the boulevards he sneezed H a couple of times. That worried him considerably, H but a few minutes later he was quite sure he felt Bt a headache coming on, and then he had a chill. Bj "Juste ciel!" he exclaimed, "it is the flu." Now H Archie never drinks anything stronger than sul- H phuric acid, but something in the back of his H head told him that in an inner recess of his waist- H coat he hadvthe address of a gentleman who made H a practice of selling a sure preventative. A brief H search revealed tho telephone number, and shortly H thereafter the gentleman appeared and exchanged H a pint of the medicine for six large round coins of H the realm. H Remembering that his friend Mark Braffet also H had a bad cold, Archie hurried to the Judge build- H ing just at closing time, and there was Mark get- H ting ready to go. Two medicine glasses were pro- H duccd, and the doses measured and taken. H Then appeared the janitress. "Oh, my!" ex- H claimed the lady, choking to death, with her H ' tongue hanging out a foot, "I didn't know there H was any more of that left in Utah." H " "Oh, my, yes," said the gentlemen in chorus, H ' "will you have one?" H , Would she have one? She lifted the bottle HK. and began to pour, and kept on pouring until Hfl Archie, who believes in conservation and pre- 1 paredness, snatched the bottle, and asked: "Do H you know what that costs?" B As she finished the stein she admitted that she If did not, and evidently she didn't care. But there were only two small doses of the medicine left, and they had only had one apiece. Latest reports P " from the ringside are to the effect that none of H those present are afflicted with influenza and H " and probably they won't bo. Possibly they came H in contact with a number of the deadly germs, but H if there could be a record of flu germ casualties, H the path in the wake of either Mark or Archie H would be seen to be strewn with the poor little L fellers who had lighted in them and given up in M despair. NO kinder-hearted man than Bert Savage lives ( In this town. He is always seeing how he F can put himself out for others, trying to make the H every day grind smoother and rosier for those he H likes, with the little attentions and niceties that H are rapidly becoming a lost art in this day of sel- H flshness. H The other day while nearing the corner of H Third South and Main, he observed a man staring H i vacantly towards the heavens, apparently at a loss H as to which way to go, and to all appearances 1 H Savage walked up to him, and taking him by H the arm asked: "May I help you across the street, Hj old man?" H The other said he might, and thanked him kind- H ly for the offer. H Bert got him to the corner of the street, over H' the tracks, and safely on tho other corner. Then H the blind man turned to him, and said: "Excuse H me, but there's a little piece of lint on your shoul- H dor," picked it off, turned on his heel, and went H dashing in the opposite direction, all the time H laughing like the devil. H MRS. Hugh Dougall and Otto Hauerbach were - married in New York tho other day. Accord- H ing to the accounts this was tho culmination of a H romance which began In this city during one of H the composer's periodical visits. Certainly. It is H not stated whether the beginning of it was before H or after the divorce of the Dougalls, but to all ap i peaiancts it was very much before. Mrs. Dougall nas been in New York for several months, and Mr. Dougall, who is supervisor of muBic in the Salt .Lake schools, Ib here with his children. During her residence Mrs. Dougall was so popular pop-ular that it was a question in the minds of the village observers as to just who she would marry alter the divorce, but all that is settled now, to the relief of the village tabbies, and possibly to everyone concerned. But the strain incident to the temporary indecision must have been terrible. 'p HE marriage of Miss Adelaide Woodruff and Lieutenant George W Brodie, Jr., took place at St. Mark's cathedral on Wednesday evening, Dean W. W. Fleetwood officiating. It was the most beautiful church wedding of the season and was witnessed by a throng of society so-ciety friends of the young people. The bride, who entered the church with her uncle, Karl Scheid, was attended by Miss Sybil Walker as bridesmaid, and Boyd Park was best man for Lieutenant Brodie. The ushers who joined the wedding party at the altar were Mrs. Daire Van Cott, Miss Margaret Walker, Miss Marjorie Bidwell, and Miss Dorothy Bailey. The music, furnished by A. H. Peabody, was a most attractive feature. A small reception followed at the home of the bride. Lieutenant and Mrs. Brodie have gone to Georgia, Geor-gia, where the groom is stationed at present. OLD friend, J. A. Handin, who discourses on the beauties of Ford cars in the daytime, was the host Monday evening at one of the most delightful informal affairs given in our city for some time. It was given for a number of friends who thought it only proper that the raising of the flu ban should be celebrated, and after midnight was sort of a progressive affair. That is, one by one the boys fell out starting with Frank Newman and ending with Billy Warner. Mr. Handin is one of the best self-starting little hosts of which our fair city boasts, and his entertainments are becoming so popular that the next time he will probably be compelled to hire a hall. THIS being a banker's edition, it would not do to leave out any item of interest in regard to I M them, so here Is what they are saying about E. A. Culbortson. There was a time not far back when he was referred to as the youngest bank president in the city. Then the bank officials, in various and sundry ways, began to drop out, and with this week's developments, another is omitted from among those present. At the rate they are going, it probably will not be long until they refer to Cully as old man Culbertson. THE Riches, not the sordid riches of commerce, but Ben C , and Ben L , both of whom are among our "-adlng citizens, should be mentioned men-tioned in our Bankers' edition, if. for no other reason than because of their names. But there are other reasons. They are both gaining daily in popularity to such an extent that the circumstance has almost resulted In an open breach between them, and the end is not yet. Each admits that he Is hand somer than the other, each is certain that there is no compaiison In their popularity either in in dividual cases or in flocks, and each is making a special effort to beat the other to the postofflce In the morning so that their mail will not be mixed, or if It Is, so that the one who gets there first can leave what he cares to for the other. One is in the Newhouse building, the other in the Boston, and so their trails often cross, though not so often as it did prior to August 30, 1917. wp All kinds of friends are endeavoring to do some- ST thing to bring them to tla peace table, and will probably be successful soon with the Christmas spirit in the air. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that those addressing them on matters of either business or pleasure will be sure to in- . elude the middle initial, and get it right. One is a financier and thei other a barrister, though both, according to Webster, are defined as follows: 'Wealthy, opulent, affluent, well-to-do, moneyed, abundant, copious, bountiful, plentiful, fertile, luxuriant, lux-uriant, prolific, exuberant, teeming, productive, sumptuous, luxurious, delicious, luscious, hearty, ' nutritive, gorgeous, elegant, beautiful, vivid, ty. bright, intense." What more could, anyone ask? DURING the period of reconstruction in bank- j ing circles, will it not be an opportune time , to write a new set of rules at the gambling house I at the corner of South Temple and State streets? W Some pay money for chips and chips for money, and settle at the time, or at the latest, a day or two after, but there are others who aro very free with their promises, some of them en- i7 deavoring to wait until a luckier evening breaks jB them even. If Now some of the boys who pay cash are pro testing, and the terriblo predicament of, having . to pay or not play faces others who have been ' sailing along on good fellowship until things took , a turn for the better. . ' a FLU precautions in San Francisco have resulted t happily for some of the inhabitants down by the Golden Gate as attested by a friend who writes facetiuously in reference to the situation there, closing with: "Thank the Lord I am happy at last. The churches are closed, the saloons aro open and the women are muzzled." Fair enough. MRS. Chester Murphy, the youngest of the pop- i ular Kinney sisters-, Is the guest of her sister, sis-ter, Mrs. 'C. W. Whitley. A number of affairs will bo given in her honor during her stay. Mrs. Whitley Whit-ley gave a luncheon for her guest on Monday, and Mrs. De Witt Knox entertained at a luncheon yesterday yes-terday for Mrs. Murphy. MRS. William Cavenaugh Ib the guest of her , ' sister, Mrs. Margaret Zane Cherdron. Col- " v onel Cavenaugh is in France. Mrs. Cavanaugh, V who was formerly Miss Addie Zane, waB one of I the most popular belles in this city, whore she t , has a host of friends who are gladly welcoming ,jj her home again. A number of entertainments will be given in her honor during her stay. NEWS of the death of MrB. Brlgham Cannon in Omaha following a severe attack of influenza was a great shock to her largo circle of friends in this city. Mrs. Cannon was one of the most popular popu-lar members of the younger married set during" her residence in Salt Lake. She was a most attractive at-tractive young woman of winsome personality and beauty, and her untimely death is most pitiful. piti-ful. Mr. and Mrs. Solon Splro have gone to Now fcf r York for the winter. T Mr. and Mrs. Homer W. Sherwood entertained '' at bridge at their home on Thursday evening. Lieutenant C. E. Tillman has returned to Camp Grant. Mrs. Benner X. Smith has returned from New York. |
