Show I SAUNTERINGS H Last evening, Thomas Weir spoke on "Foreign K Missions" at the Third Presbyterian church and ji was followed by Dr. W. N. Paden, who delivered H an address entitled, "What Are We Here For." Is Hj there anyone who could wish for anything funnier H than that? j K There was no end of excitement at the brll- t liant dance given at Entwood, country home of the i Ferdinand J. Fabians, when Harry Thaw and his H party arrived, following a dinner given in town H by his cousin, Mrs. James A. Hogle. The affair W at Entwood was given by Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand H J. Fabian, Mr. and Mrs. Harold P. Fabian and i Mr. and Mrs. John. E. Clark, and was in honor of B Mrs. Fabian's guests, Mrs. George II. Pegram and n daughters Jean and Mercy Pegram of New York. K Two hundred guests had been invited and the af- i fair was one of the smartest of the summer sea- Hjl son. Aside from the Interest In the charming Hl guests of honor, a largo proportion of it was fo- H cused upon Harry Thaw, this having been his H first appearance In society for a number of years, H during which he has been fairly busy and has Hh provided the newspapers of the land with no end l of copy. Mr. Thaw and his party, consisting of Hi Mr. Frank K. Johnston of New York, former Con- fli gressman C. S. Whurtman of Chicago and R. E. ' Pendleton of Concord, N. H., went to Bingham M yesterday, the guests of James A. Hogle. They W will continue their journey to the coast today. Ht fl That some of the women in Salt Lake who pre H tend to be somebody have more than their pro- B portion of asininlty plus, was demonstrated on B Thursday when a number of them, none of whom B was known, to the Thaw party or their friends, B blazed their way through the crowd, introduced B themselves to Thaw and touchlngly wrung the B hand that pulled the gun that killed the man 'the B girls bilked. Various emotional young women of B uneasy temperament have forced their way to B Thaw across the country and attempted to give B him a stingy little kiss, to shake his hand or by B some heroic effort, get in touch with him. We had B an idea that he would escape such a demonstra- B tion, but it seems that out in the provinces there B are certain folks always ready to make spectacles B of themselves. They ought to be listed by the B house Dicks in the big hotels, their names might H come in handy. B B The bavardes on the San Francisco papers are H telling of Mrs. William E. Borah, "wife of Senator H Borah of Utah," and not one but all of them have H spoken of her as such. Such is fame! And Idaho H only a stone's throw from San Francisco with H William E. Borah, the brilliant senator, looming H as a presidential possibility. How is it that out- H side papers always get the idea that every bril- Bj liant statesman in Washington is from Utah? H H Tne marriage of Mrs. Pearl Kelly of this city B and Earl Aldridge formerly of Salt Lake, but now B a San Francisco luminary was rather a surprise B to their many local friends. Surprises are always H expected from Mr. Aldridge and he never disap- H points. Felicitations of a host of friends have B already gone to him and his bride. Aldridge is H one of the best of good fellows and is making a H splendid success in his missionary work on the H coast. H H The principle question agitating smart socl- H ety is which of the devoted lovers will be chosen B by tlie lady for the fall and winter seasi while H the condoning husband looks on complacently. H H Campflre dinners within a short motoring dls- H tanco of town have become extremely popular of H late. Following the repasts there is nothing more cheerful than high llres licking up the juicy leaves of the quakenasps while the guests disport themselves them-selves about the flames and sleeping beauties recline re-cline beneath the sylvan bowers nearby. But that one may get too near a Are, was evidenced recently re-cently when a beau of one the parties returned to town with the whole side burned out of a beau-titul beau-titul new suit of clothes. Ho is a little older than the average swain, but appears a good deal younger, young-er, and what cares he for a hundred dollars worth of clothes if in the loss he can prove that he is not afraid of fire. The next picnic of the series will be given Monday night. Wednesday the Country club attracted a largo proportion of the society ladies in town who arrived to lunch and bridge and generally enjoy en-joy themselves In the cool of the country Mrs. E. A. Wall gave one of the largest affairs af-fairs of the summer In honor of Mrs. Louis Cates; Mrs. Samuel Park and Miss Eleanor Park gave a delightful party for Miss Park's guest, Miss Marion Sturgis of Wilken, Connecticut; Mrs. J. L. Nibley was the hostess at another affair with Mrs. Nibley of Portland as the motif; Mrs. M. L. Ritchie entertained a party of friends anu Miss Darleno Kimball presided at an affair at which Miss Adello Fortin of Los Angeles, who is visiting Miss Beth Baldwin was the complimented guest. All in all, the club was a busy little place during the entire afternoon. In some way the impression prevails that the last regular Wednesday luncheons took place at the club on Wednesday, but they will be continued contin-ued through September. Interest on the roof of the Utah on Thursday centered in the Thaw party. The James A. Hogles with whom Mr. Thaw visited while in the city, gave a dinner for a dozen friends who later went to the American, where a special musical program had been arranged. Miss Dorothy Zumwalt of Tulare, California, is the guest of Miss Norinne Thompson at the Ezra Thompson home on South Temple street. The marriage of Miss Zumwalt and Lynn Thompson Thomp-son will take place late in the fall at Mrs. Zum-walt's Zum-walt's home in California. Miss Zumwalt will be a guest here until October and various social affairs have been planned in her honor. The marriage of Miss Aurania (Bob) Ellerbeck to Joseph A. Rouveyrol of St. Louis, took place in that city on Wednesday. After an ex'tended trip they will make their homo in the Missouri metropolis. |
