Show SAUNTERINGS Bf Former Senator William A. Clark of Butte, H'f Mrs. Clark and their children and Mr. and Mrs. H '' Andre Tournet of Paris, whose mission in life is H to see that the young Clarks have a thorough H ij musical education, arrived here early in the week, M K and after a visit to the Clark properties at Ophir H and a day or two in the city during which they H were entertained informally by local friends, went m to Butte where they will remain until the end of the summer. M After iMrs. Clark iinished at Rowland hall here, M her name at that time being Miss La Chapelle, H sho studied with 'the Tournets in Paris, and it is M said that the Tournet income is now $1,000 a month H for instructing the daughters of the house of H Clark. H The party has just made a tour of Arizona 1 and California where Mr. Clark inspected his Hj properties, finishing with a visit to the Charlie H Clarks at El Palomar in San Mateo. This was H their second visit since the arrival of a young M man at the Charlie Clark menage, the senator H upon his first visit having placed a million to H t the youngster's credit. H H No one has come forward as yet with the in- H side story of the disappearance of the fascinating H Winifred de Wolfe whose mother, Mrs. Edgar de H Wolfe, formerly Mrs. Michael Shaughuessy (nee H Kimball) of this city recently returned to the H The disappearance of Miss de Wolf several H weeks ago caused no end of excitement and ap- H prehension among her relatives and friends, and H the news of her appearance in Australia was a H relief even if she was a long way from home. H( Mrs. de Wolfe is very reticent about discuss- H. ing the matter, merely saying that she is filling Ht a long theatrical engagement in Australia. H' H ; Now comes the rumor that "Billy" Dick and H. his bride who was Madeleine Force Astor have H, included this city among their stopping places H on their way to Now York from California, where H they are motoring at present, and the smart ones H are figuring out who will entertain them if they H i come. There is considerable rivalry among those v in San Francisco society in anticipation of hav- H' ing the honor of entertaining the honeymooners, iwho will spend their time at the Fairmont and at one of the homes on the peninsula. So many visitors are said to be coming here from the H coast to enjoy themselves at a country home or H two in the Cottonwoods that it is within the H range of possibilities that Mr. and Mrs. Dick will H do the same. B H Here is a yarn that will be read with con- H siderable interest by merchants who have sim L ilar experiences time and again, and there is H none who numbers the climbers and those who H: have arrived among his customers who hasn't Hl been the goat for just such imposition as is chron- H icled in the Town Talk tale which runs ae fol- H A certain prominent matron of this city, the H wife of a well-known professional man, recently Hj picked out a twenty-dollar fan at a department H i store where she has an account. It was sent to H her home the day of an important social event. H On the following day it was returned to the de- H ' partment store with the message that it was not H wanted. It seems that this matron had returned H articles 'n this manner several times before, usu- H ally on the morrow of some ball a', which she H' was noted by the bavardes as bemg "among H, those present." On this occasion an employee of H the department store telephoned to the matron H that the store could not permit the return of the H fan. The matron was very angry. Tho employee H ' asked why the fan had proved unacceptable. The Ik 1 j matron refused to give any reason except that she did not want it. "I am afraid," said the employee, "that you must keep this fan." "What do you mean 7" demanded the matron. "I do not want it, and I have an account at your store." "Even so, we cannot permit you to return the fan." "I insist on returning it," said tho matron. "I do not want it, and I have not used it." "The fan has been used," said the employee. 'Do you dare doubt my statement?" cried the matron. "I am afraid I must," said the employee, "for I am quite certain that when the fan left this store there was not a piecej.of pound cake sticking stick-ing to it." One of tho interesting announcements of the past week is the engagement of Miss Myrtle Annette An-nette Rellly to Francis V. FitzGerald. Miss Reilly is the daughter of Mrs. Clara E. Reilly and has a world of friends in Salt Lake. Mr. FitzGerald, his friends call him "Fitzie," is the Hty editor of the Tribune, a position which 1: with rare efficiency. The wedding is to be n the near future. If Mr. J. A. Gibbs of New York had been sentenced sen-tenced to Bridewell for a short stretch the chances are he never again would volunteer in a press agent frameup. But he didn't go to Bridewell. Now, then, Miss Wanda Lyon is an actress. She just depises flirts. Mr. Gibbs flirted. She j had him arrested. 1 "Just for myself," said she, "I wouldn't appear j in court. But I do It in behalf of the many unprotected girls on the streets of the city." g Then she said something about being from the I wild west, where they don't stand for that sort of thing, and Judge Caverly said: "I don't see where Mr. Gibbs can be blamed 1 too much. Miss Lyon is very attractive. Maybe he couldn't help flrting. I will drop Bridewell I sentence but fine him $25." j Moral: Pick a beaut and let the manager of the show pay the fine. But get it printed. , j ij Between the Utah roof and "The Ruins" down j1 near the mouth of Little Cottonwood, with con- 'j venient stops at the country homes between, so- ciety is doing very nicely thank you, that part f of it at least which has elected to maintain a t residence in town during the dog days. There j are some wonderful open air cooks in the sacred circles, and as many more who are surprisingly deficient, but the parties are great successes just the same, with the air of the woods and the con- tents of a thermos for bracers, wonderful food cooked by experts, and an indispensible fat boy to Ij tote the wood and water. j These are the bachelor days of the year when father stays at home and works, while the better j half is in the mountains or" enjoying the breezes of the sea. And the wonder is that father is so- good. There are a dozen members of the Alta club who form rather a close combination whether wheth-er it is in the poker room, or in looking for trouble elsewhere, and it is an utter impossibility impossi-bility to get one of them out after eight o'clock at night, to make one collide with a drink or otherwise tempt one for a second. It is a record rec-ord to be proud of one seldom equalled, especially espec-ially in a place that offers so many attractions as Salt Lake in the summer time. Is there anything in the rumor that the father is going to follow in the son's footsteps, and marry in the same charming family? All I can hear confirms it, but some of those very close to the older couple say that there is positively no truth in it and that theirs is a friendship naturally natural-ly arising from meeting frequently at tho home of their children. If one must dance one must pay the fiddler, and by the same token, the chiropodist, possibly. Recently, after a strenuous evening on the roof, a popular couple, whose engagement is about to be announced, walked away from the hotel, the lady accompanied by her escort and a limp. She stood the limp about half a block, then sat on the curb and took off her shoes, handed them to said escort and minus said limp swung blithely down the street unmindful of the crowds and happy in her freedom. Back to nature is really the only plan after the strenuous dances of the day, or, to speak more properly, the night, and the nonchalance noncha-lance with which this charming girl took a short cut to comfort showed how much she should worry about the little conventionalities. Mrs. Louis F. Cates and small daughter, Barbara, Bar-bara, have returned after an extended trip through New York and the east, and will be at the Hotel Utah for the remainder of the summer. Mr. Gates has left for Ray, Arizona. Mrs. William P. Kiser entertained informally at her home last evening in honor of Mrs. Louis S. Cates of Ray, Arizona, who recently arrived and Miss Clara Young, who will go to California shortly to spend the remainder of the summer. Mrs. Edwin F. Holmes entertained at an elaborate elab-orate luncheon at the Amelia Palace on Thursday in honor of Mrs. William H. Cunningham, of San Francisco, who is being extensively entertained by her old friends during her visit here. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Groesbeck have entertained en-tertained at a number of affairs in honor of Mrs. Franklin Hall, of New York, who has been their guest for the past ten days. One of tho prettiest luncheons of the week was that given by Mrs. Groesbeck on Tuesday with Mrs. Hall as the motif. The Country club was the scene of a number of informal luncheons on Wednesday, when those entertaining were: Miss Adelaide Woodruff, who gave a luncheon for Miss Pauline Sweet, of Rochester; Roch-ester; Miss Lucile Gilmer, Miss Margaret Walker and Miss Gertrude McGrath. . Mr, and Mrs. Wellington Lake gave a supper at Wandamere on Thursday, followed by dancing. danc-ing. Mrs. Phillip Hopkins and Miss Mary Hopkins, of Kansas City, who are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Lewis, have been entertained at a number of affairs given in their honor during the week. . Former Mayor Samuel Park, Miss Eleanor Park and Boyd Park recently returned from tho east, where Mr. Park went to attend the graduation gradua-tion exercises at Ann Arbor. |
