Show SAUNTERINGS M Here is a story of the first little battle of some M fashionable newlyweds who live out on South m, Temple street. That is, they may 'be called newly- i weds, though they have been married nearly a M The other night they came down to go to din- M ner and the theater and had a little scrap during i the evening, so when they got home, they were M not on speaking terms. The young man had 1 planned to arise at 4 o'clock to catch a train or M go duck shooting or do something. About 3 o'clock H the milk wagon stopped in front of the house, the H driver delivered a few bottles at the .back door H and coming out, climbed aboard to resume his H Journey. Ht) The horse balked. The driver argued with the H animal for a while and talked loud enough to H awaken the people in the house. Then he pulled H i a blacksnake on the brute and laid it on. The H two were lying there listening to this for a few H seconds and then the driver came out with "Now H ' you white livered blank, blank, blank! Get up!" H Friend wife turned to husband: "Edward," she H ' asked sweetly, ' did you leave a call?" M B News comes from San Francisco that Arthur H ' i Copp will leave there tomorrow for Washington, H D. C, having ibeen again promoted and transferred H to the southern division of the Associated Press, H with headquarters at the capital. It "will probably H be a little hard for him to separate himself from H the west, where he has made so many friends dur- H ing the past fifteen years of his career, but he is H probably iproud to answer the new call, no matter H how hard it pulls his heartstrings. His friends are H wishing him the continued success they know will M be his in his new field. H H Aside from the usual bridge fights and teas B now and then, a luncheon and a dinner or two M and the skating at the Country club, society has M had a deadly sort of a time during the week, H though the dance of the Utah club at the Hotel M Utah and that of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Browning at B Berthana hall in Ogden, attracted a considerable Hj number of the elite on Wednesday night. Tills is the month when those who can get away until spring usually go to the southern California Cal-ifornia resorts but the reports from there of tho incessant floods are anything but encouraging. One might as well stay homo and fight tho furnace fur-nace until the Eastertide. There is little doing and the promise for more activity is not alluring. Smart entertainments go in cycles and are liable to break out in a new place at any time. There is a splendid attraction at the New-house New-house hotel, two new dancers, Ethlo Stewart and Addison Fowler who recently arrived from San Francisco where they have been featured at the Panama-Pacific exposition. Their dances vary every afternoon and evening as well as Miss Stewart's smart costumes and they are making a great hit in their various artistic interpretations. They have taken so well with those who frequent the tea and supper rooms of the Newhouse, that they will remain indefinitely. The news of the success of Miss Florence Kimball of this city who was recently engaged by Leo Deitrichstein to play the leading role in the highly successful play "The Great Lover" is most gratifying to the local friends of this talented tal-ented girl. Recently she played the part for four performances and made -a notable success. This is her first professional appearance on the stage, although she has appeared in solo and concert work at various times during the past two or three years. The surprise of the week in society, was the wedding of Miss Nellie S. Pearsall to M. K. Parsons Par-sons which occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford R. Pearsall on Tuesday at high noon. Following a luncheon, Mr. and Mrs. Parsons Par-sons left for Denver and the south. They will be away until late in February when they will return and be at home at the Bransford. The news of the engagement was kept very quiet as is the fashion in most engagements these days, not even their most intimate friends being aware of their approaching marriage. The bride who is the sister of Clifford R. Pearsall is a charming young woman who has a host of friends here and Mr. Parsons is one of the best known men in the intermountain west. He is popular and highly thought of by all who know him. It would be a splendid idea at the American theatre if some method could be devised through which the musicians could exit without crossing the stage in front of the screen and being silhouetted sil-houetted on the picture at frequent intervals. Far be it from us to stop any gentleman from f ( quenching an enviable thirst, but it would be more agreeable to the audiences if a change could bo made. Mrs. Lewis Robinson and Miss Maymo Noble were tho hostesses at a delightful bridge party followed by a tea at the Noble residence on Thursday when Mrs. W. H. Shearman was the J ij complimented guest.

SAN DIEGO TO CELEBRATE When the directors of the Panama-California exposition at San Diego met a few weeks ago and decided to keep the successful 1915 enterprise open through 191G, they decided to widen its scope and add "International" to the name. Now additions addi-tions are being made to the big show that make the new word necessary. Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Russia, Rus-sia, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Brazil, the United States government and the Pan-Pacific countries are adding their exhibits and while displays dis-plays are being installed all exposition activities are being focused on the big reopening. On New Year's day- came the informal reopening for 191G. - On February 15 a big celebration will mark the 1916 bow of the reorganized attractions on the isthmus. March 15 will be the date for the exposition's ex-position's greatest program since the 1915 opening. |
