Show . SAUNTERINGS H The local smart set has a very distinct recol- H lection of Dr. William A. McEnery, who married H the widow of. the late David McLoughlin of Salt K Lake and Park City, and who lived here for some H time. Ef "Dr. and Mrs. McEnery resided at the Knuts- Hl ford for a year or two and then moved to San Hl Francisco where they remained until Mrs. Mc- H Enery's death. B Last May, Dr. McEnery married Miss Isabel H1 McLoughlin, the little heiress of whom he has B "been the guardian since her mother's death, but B the news of the wedding has only recently reach- B ed this country through letters to personal B friends. B All of the doctor's old friends in this city are B not in smart society. B A San Francisco account of the marriage B reads as follows: B San Francisco friends of Miss Isabel McLough- B lin and her stepfather, Dr. William A. McEnery, B learned only during the week of their marriage B in Paris last May, the troublous times abroad B and the uncertainties of the mail having delayed B letters from the bride to friends here. Dr. and B Mrs. McEnery are at present in India, where the B, former has received a three years' station as sur- B geon in the British army. B The marriage, while not altogether unexpect- j ed, came as somewhat of a surprise to many here, B where both have enjoyed much popularity and B! where they formerly lived. The first Mrs. Mc- B i Enery, mother of the bride, came here from Salt B , Lake many years ago. Her death occurred in B this city about six years ago. After that eent B Miss McLoughlin lived in England at the home B of Br. McEnery's sister, Miss Teresa McEnery, B now Mrs. iFoster Grelton, and later made several B visits to this city in company with Miss McEnery. B Two years ago Miss McLoughlin and her step- M father were here and were guests at the Fair- H mont Hotel. The attractive young girl was ex- H tensively feted both in this city and on the pen- B insula, and joined in the gayeties of the younger B set. On leaving for England it was with the V promise of a speedy return, and last year it was IJ expected that she would come west for the mar- H riage of Miss Marion Stone, one of her closest j friends, and Herbert Schmidt. Owing to the dan- 1 gers of -travel, however, the trip was abandoned. HjM Miss McLoughlin then plunged into 'relief i work in Europe with the same enthusiasm that i she had enjoyed dinners and dances and theater Bi parties before that time. After taking a course HL'1 of training in nursing in Paris she took her ' place in the hospital work in France, and about H the first of the year, accompanied by Miss Kath- fl erino McEnery, sister of Dr. McEnery, she went m to the Italian frontier to aid in the work there. H Her marriage, which took place in Paris, was !L witnessed only by members of the immediate fam- Hl' ily, and the bride and groom departed almost im- B , mediately for India. They write to friends here H ! that they will visit California en route home at H the close of Dr. McEnery's period of duty there. H : ' Mrs. Grelton, the former Miss Teresa McEn- H ki ery, has lived in India almost ever since her mar- Hjg riage, her husband being Captain Grelton of the HJI Seventh Lancers. HP& H3T If Hardy Downing is at a loss for a feature H event during the winter fistic celebrations, he H 1 might find it profitable to apply to the Ladies' H r Literary club for some members for either a fin-H fin-H ish fight or a limited go. The participants in H the battle that occurred at the clubhouse ap-H ap-H ' peared before the ladies of the Dramatic session H i last week, and before they were separated Jerge H handfuls of fur and clusters of feathers in which H they were adorned when they went to the meet-Hi meet-Hi ing were scattered about the arena. Eye wit- 1 nesses of the affair describe it as something that would make Eddie Graney's mouth water, and it is understood that the husbands of many of those in the very dramatic section are considering the formation of a gentlemen's auxiliary so they won't overlook any bets the next time a similar encounter takes place. During the battle many caustic remarks were interpolated, and there was much waving of hands and feet, in stage parlance; business of being a soft shell crab. Ringside seats are already al-ready being applied for for the next meeting of the members of the section, and it is said that the sport will be conducted along the lines laid out by the eminent Marquis of Queensbury, and that it will be a boxing party in conformity with police regulations, and not a fight ab was the last encounter. en-counter. Miss Marian Hooper entertained at an elaborate elabor-ate tea at the Country club yesterday afternoon, which was attended by over a hundred of her friends. The clubhouse was unusually beautiful, with a color scheme of red and yellow, carried out through the use of masses of red and golden chrysanthemums and autumn leaves, with a Hallowe'en Hal-lowe'en effect adding a pleasing note in the dining room and in the large living room where the guests were received. It was one of the smartest affairs of the autumn, the club proving an idea place for such an entertainment. Miss Hooper was assisted by her mother, Mrs. John Cook Hooper, Mrs. Alexander Ewing, Mrs. John Whittaker, Mrs. Ira K. Humphrey and Mrs. M. H. Foss. The dernier cri in social circles seems to be the war veil and the fair maidens and matrons who are making themselves hideous with the things ought to know better. They are supposedly suppos-edly very smart, pretty little toques with the veils down the back, and not one has been seen that is becoming. The inclination as one passes is to grab it and give it a jerk. The charity ball, the great event of the winter, anticipated by society, modistes, taxicab companies com-panies and florists will take place on Thursday next and if the information is correct there will be the most amazing array of costumes ever seen at an affair of the kind in this city. However, it is doubtful if there will be any more startling effects than' greeted those present at the last one. If some of those who appeared a year ago will wear the same costumes and let the fact be known in advance, there will be standing room only in the ballroom. Nearly everybody seems to have a little money this year, and with financial conditions as they are, the ladies who have worked so hard to make the affair a brilliant success are anticipating greater returns than ever before. That they will not be disappointed is indicated by the tremendous tremend-ous sale of tickets, and everybody will be there, whether they are in society or not. Most of them are however, for there is no longer any line drawn here, and each little clique is quote positive that it is It. The marriage of Miss Emma Beebe to Orson N. Kelly occurred at noon in the temple on Wednesday. Wed-nesday. A wedding breakfast followed at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Clara Woodruff Beebe, and in the evening a large reception was held. Mrs. John W. James was matron of honor, Miss Hester Beebe the bridesmaid, little Ruth Beebe and Jane Byer flower girls, and Homer Christensen best man. Assisting in receiving at the reception with the bridal party, Mrs. Beebe, Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly, were Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Daynes, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Woodruff. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have gone to Texas, where they will spend their honeymoon and later will make their home in New York. Mrs. Paul Keyser was the hostess at a smart tea given in the president's suite at the Hotel Utah on Wednesday, in honor of Miss Norlnne Thompson, a charming bride-to-be. Receiving with the hostess were the honored guest, Mrs. J. F. Dunn, Mrs. Ezra Thompson, Mrs. J. R. Walker, and Mrs. Walter Lewis and Mrs. F. J. Fabian assisted as-sisted at the tea table. New Year's eve comes this year on Sunday night, and already people are wondering just what arrangements can be made to celebrate it properly. prop-erly. In Now York it has been decided to start a number of the plays which will open the first of the year at 12:01 Monday morning with the celebrations to follow, but out here it is going to be very hard to celebrate and stay within the law. Perhaps all will agree on the celebration celebra-tion for another .night, but that would not be New Year's eve, and so what's to be done about it? Can the members of the gambling house on the southeast corner of State and South Temple offer a suggestion as to how to evade the law? i Now comes the story that New York's dancing U favorite Vernon Castle is one of the heroes of i Somme. A fortnight ago the dispatches an- yf nounced his death, and they were not Hearst dispatches either. His friends and admirers in tliis country are hoping for the best, and that tidings will come confirming the latest news that he is still with us. The fact that President Smith and Bishop Nib-ley Nib-ley are up for membership at the Country club and almost daily are practicing at the game of golf recommended by the physicians of the dignitaries, dig-nitaries, has added new zest to the proceedings down the valley. It is doing them both a world of good, and it is interesting to see the venerable vener-able president and his close friend swinging across the greensward, much the same as the bishop did, we imagine, on his native heath when a boy. Both are greatly interested in the game, but not in the nineteenth hole.
