Show SAUNTERINGS H ., Among tlio recruits sent from London to the H ', trenches, there was one of those sweet young Hj. things from the chorus wearing a sport shirt. B The troops were lined up for inspection and when H ' the Inspecting officer spotted this charmer, he H ' proceeded to call her in the way described in "the H ' States" as fierce and all that sort of thing you H Hj The next day at inspection, the officer called H ' for a salute from the troops, but she did not obey, H t and when the one in command demanded a rea- H . son, she replied: "Why, dearie, I thought perhaps H t youwere still angry with me." 1 H There are to be four exciting weddings in H ' society- in the early fall, and so prominent are H those who will appear in the leading roles that HvV there promises to be no end of entertaining for H the stunning girls who are to be the brides. H Quite an unusual feature in conenction with the H matrimonial events is the fact that all but one H will continue to reside here. It has been the H ,! general rule of late for society girls who marry H to go elsewhere and that there are to be excep- H tio'ns to the rule in the cases of these beauties H is rather pleasant to contemplate. H Even the exception may prevail upon the H lucky man" to live here, for it is said that he likes H Salt Lake immensely and would not be averse H to making his home in the west. It is impossible H to get a definite word out of any of them, but B from no less authoritative sources than close rela- B tives it is learned that the coming of autumn H will see them stepping down the aisle to the ac- H , companiment of the Mendelssohn stuff. The H brides' to be have confided to a friend or two, B that September is about the best month to be H t married in and of course when two women know H a secret, one and one make 11. H fl During the week our city has been favored H with a visit from Pres. Hyrum Dunn of various fl railroads. The pres has been busily engaged H attending to manifold duties but has been able H t to spend a few evenings in the rose bower on H ;the roof and other places of cooling drafts, and M has entertained extensively his guests being prin- m cipally railroad and onininr magnates. His best H business judgment prevented him taking part in H any of the Wizard parades but he lent his pres- B ence and gave a little money to the festivities and attracted considerable attention upon all B occasions. Mr. Dunn does not wear a sport shirt. H M One of the ruins in the smart set was a guest H at a picnic given a few evenings ago at "The H ''Ruins" in Little Cottonwood just at that bend in H the creek before the mountains are reached, the fl 4placo that has become so popular of late with M those who like the open spaces. There were var- M ious refreshments carried into the country, felony H that it is, and beside the gentleman's natural M thirst, his parched thorax was in need of exces- M slve lubrication after the dusty ride. He was H hungry, too, so as the twilight deepened he stretched himself under the trees and fell into B a heavy sleep. H, I One of those humorists, the kind that usually m thinks it very funny to annoy a bride and groom m '(after a wedding, suggested that the party return M' 5to tovn and leave him, so they did; an incident B nvhicb accounted for the frantic ringing of a tel- m ephone bell in a local garage at four o'clock next M mornlng, for upon waking at midnight, he had l v walked to Murray and arriving long after the m cars had stopped, thougnt it necessary to get M fliome before the milk. If there is any moral in M " (his, It is that one should choose his own party H before going camping. B s It is rather hard for the boys with the sport shirts around town this week on account of the competition. There is a regular female impersonator imper-sonator at Pantages. There was a little side light on a main street corner during the Wizard parade on Wednesday evening. A couple, full of years wore standing leaning on each other. They looked as though they had been through many hardships but their faces contained the calm that comes after the worst is over. There was a soft light in their eyes and a look of peace and happiness, except for a slight show of impatience at the delay in the arrival of the pageant. Finally the woman turned to the man and sweetly and gently said: "John, if you are tired I am ready to go home any time." And John turned his dear old eyes toward hers and said: "Hell no, you drug me up here and I'm damned if I ain't going to stay until it is over." The date of the coming of the Bevani Opera company is August fifth when the singers will appear in Carmen at Wandamere with Alice Gentle, one of the greatest Carmens in the operatic oper-atic world in the title role. The company will be at Wandamere for two weeks and will include in its reportoire six or eight of the greatest operas. This famous company opens its regu lar season in Los Angeles in October and Salt Lakers are fortunate indeed to be able to hear the song birds. Popular prices will prevail for this attraction which is usually heard at two and three dollars. The boxes here will be seventy-five cents with other reserved seats at twenty-five and fifty cents and the season down in the country under the stars will unquestionably unquestion-ably attract large audiences. It has been a long time since Salt Lakers had the opportunity of hearing grand opera and the artists who are coming com-ing are an unusually gifted company. The engagement en-gagement will mean considerable' to people in the smart set, but aside from the society element, ele-ment, the prices are within such easy reach that everyone will have an opportunity of enjoying the music. Announcement cards were received during the week by the friends of John Lonergan (Jack) Burke, announcing the marriage of Miss Julia Wallrich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallrich of Chicago, to 'Mr. Burke. The wedding took place on Tuesday and after their honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Burke will make their home in Portland, Oregon, where Mr. Burke has been in business with his father and brothers for several years. His friends here were under the impression that he was a confirmed bachelor, but one never can tell and they are extending their heartiest congratulation. con-gratulation. For their guest, Miss Dorothy Doty of New York, the Misses! Marjorie and Lavinia Brown entertained at a delightfully informal dancing party at their home in Federal Heights on Friday Fri-day evening.
