Show ' SAUNTERINGS H Arthur Copp has sent what he says is a new H golf story from San Francisco, and here it is: B ' A golf fanatic died and went to Heaven. K "Where Is your golf course?" was the first ques- H tion he put to St. Peter. H "We have no golf course up here," was the H reply, "hut I've heard there is a splendid one B down in Hell. You might drop down there for B the day and look it over." fc The fanatic descended. Sure snough, there was H the most wonderful links he had ever seen. An B attendant imp led him into a clubhouse so per fl fectly appointed as to suggest Utopia instead of B i the infernal regions. It took only a minute to B find some "togs which fitted him as if they were B made to order. Never had .ho felt so correct B sartorially. The set of clubs which the imp B handed him were those of which he had always B dreamed during his earthly life. M The imp, acting as caddy, conducted him out M to the frst teo. "But the balls? We have for- m gotten the balls," said the golf fanatic. m "Ah-ha! There ain't no balls!" shrieked the H imp. "That's the hell of it." B Hj Miss Edna Goodrich arrived in New York on B Tuesday. B J. PI. Macmillan is registered at the Waldorf. H H Two Los Angeles limited trains, facing in dif- M ferent directions jvere responsible for the begin- m ning of a little romance in which a former Salt Laker, a beautiful widow, figures with one of the H , popular young men of Los Angeles. Both have H sworn time and again that they will not be m married, but there has been a growing interest 1 which seems a little more than platonic and the H man likes Salt Lake now better than he ever did. H There were some late trains early in the week, m so the two Limiteds met here without either of H the interested parties knowing that the other was Hj within a hundred miles. That's the way they tell H it at any rate. He was walking up and down (beside hiB train, west bound, when she with her party, east bound, came in on tne otner. As a result they are both enjoying a happy visit heie H and there will be more interesting news later. B H Recently a pompous, perspiring and peculiar H dowager was telephoned to and asked that her H daughter's picture be given to a certain news- H paper for publication and my, my, what a shock H it was to the lady's sensiblities. Heaving mighti- H ly, and spluttering like a motorcycle, she assured B the kindly disposed representative of the press, H . that none of her family ever had anything like H f that happen to them; that she and her daughter H j were so upset by the weather that it would be H ' most hazardous for her oven to broach the sub- I ject to her daughter in the nervous state In which the reporter had discovered them, and that she ., couldn't think of interrupting the dear girl's rev- Hi ( erles by oven the faintest suggestion of such an H, I intrusion. Hi On another day, she took courage in spite of H the heat, and attended a luncheon at the Coun H try club where she maae herself consplcous by for- Bj bidding a representative of the press to take pic- Bi tures of anyone on the lawn at the club, saying Hf that she had not authorized it. We believe that Hj) none of the members of the Country club is aware Hj ! that we have a censor there and certainly none is H1 under the impression that any member has any H rights different from any other member. The Im- H portance of being earnest is a terrible strain on H I some people who take themselves seriously af- H' ter having ephemeral honors thrust upon them. HI I H I The Country club looked liko the old days on HI I Wednesday w1 on nearly two hundred ladies were there .in attendance at various luncheons. The picture under the trees, with the maids and matrons ma-trons in their summer frocks was an inspiring sight, but the news came to town too late for any of the men to get there in time for the treat. Mrs. Louis Cates was the honored guest at the largest affair of the day given by Airs. Itussel G. Schulder, Mis. Dean F. Brayton and Mrs. Chauncey Overfleld. Miss IMarjorle Bidwell also entertained at a smart affair and among others who entertained guests were Mlrs. J. D. Bamberger, Mrs. Frank Dodge and Mrs. George S. Gannet. An elaborate affair of last evening was the dance at the Country club given by Mrs. Windsor Wind-sor V. Rice in honor of Mrs. John B. Neil, now of Cleveland, Ohio, but formerly of Boise. Mrs. Neil and Mrs. Rice, who are old friends, have made several tours together. She will be a guest at the Rice home for several days. Julia Dean, one of Salt Lake's star contributions contribu-tions to the contemporary stage arrived here on her way to New York early in the week and spent a few minutes at the depot with numerous numer-ous old friends who went to greet her. Miss Dean has had a month In California and Is hurrying back to the big city to prepare for the opening of the regular theatrical season. As so few attractions at-tractions are booked for the west the coming season, sea-son, it is doubtful if she will be seen here in any of her stellar roles. |
