The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-09-21

Brighton With its secluded retreats quiet
lakes. baobling brooks, speckled beauties,
pine trees, mountain forests, Jumping
squirrels, singing birds, tinted blue sky and
ozone atmosphere, fragrant with the resin
Gus odors of pitch-pine, all conspire to
awaken the sentimental and fill the .'vacan-
cfes of attention" with romantic delights
There is no such thing as counting known
at the mountain lakes though there was a
geat deal of ''ozoning' going on, which is
even more malignant form of the same
complaint
Tue tendency to lightheadedness at high
attitudes is as great on the ground as in the
air, and hghtheadedness is the congenial
condition that begets the sentimental.
When the head is empty andthe heart is lull
there IS play OF feeling the deliciousness
II which many wise people have never ex-
perienced.
The little maiden with her sweet pas
toral nature, knows nothing but the home
lest truths, but she has a capacity for the
sentimental not possessed by the heavy
headed hunks that weigh their fancies down
with stupid facts.
Brighton has poetic atmosphere, one
that nurtures sentiments like warm rain
weeds. When man gets to Brighton he
begins to feel light-hearted and the women
light headed. This charming condition OF
the opposite sexes begets frame of heart
called 'OZoning.n
The genuine sumner people never give
themselves away by speaking of the oxygin
| lied condition of the atmosphere. That
would be a bluuder most objectionable and
shocking to the real and abiding sumner
resorter.
Oxygen is SO condensed and huddled to.
gether at high attitudes tn at it passes from
the passive to the active state. Ozone. so
much talked of, and so often remarked, is
nothing out oxygen ION the go.''
AS Brighton promises to become the
Colorado S brings of Utah, it is all import
ant to know something of the effect OF
ozone on the habits aud dispositions of the
people. A lady who had just returned in
formed the writer tnat czone cut up all
kinds OF capers and set on edge the dullest
dispositions, giving q romantic tinge to
life that had heretofore known nothing but
sterility of the affections.
The first symptoms that are noticed is a
desire for the opposite sexes to get to-
gether, stay together and cling together to
the exclusion of all intruders.
Tho ozone affection does not break out
all at once, but comes on gradually, feeling
its way rather than thrusting itself for
ward abruptly before the conditions are
ripe.
There is no surer sign of the first stages
of ozone than desire to hold hands. AT
least two young couples are to be seen
ambling through ferns and across the
brooks like Juno's swans. After the hand
holding period has had its course, there is
a strong emotional impulse to camp out on
the same chair. This oneness of feeling
that inclines TO an odd chair, rather than q
pair, is q sure symptom of the secondary
stages. To ozoners there is more comfort
to the square inch in this kind of sitting
than on the broad squares of the big uphol-
stored rockers. Indeed there is no need of
rockers, as there is no effort at fitting back
and forth, but rather suppressed desire
to just sit STILL say nothing and feel vol
umes.
Talk becomes tame, words feeble and
trifing, when relied upon as the transmit
| ter between two ozone hearts with such q
tempest of tenderness.
| lady while strolling out of the beaten
path the other day came across pair of
ozoners, enjoying themselves in this wav.
| Though startled as much as if she had
discovered a rattlesnake, she remembered
that she was woman and stood stark
still, though fiuttering like lark. 1t was
as clear case OF ozoning as person
would care to meet. The two occupants
OF the one chair were very snug and very
! happy. The gentleman, as near as could
be seen, had sat down first and the lady.
evidently, came along and sat down in the
same chair. Whether she was at first sur
prlsed at finding the chair already occu-
pied Was not exactly clear, though the
fact that the gentleman had encircled her
with both his arms in a holding on attitude
led one to believe that the fair zionist had
made struggle to get away. If such a
| struggle had enSued. it must have hap
pened very long time ago as there was
not the slightest symptom of uneasiness
now, but one OF perfect satisfaction with
existing conditions. By putting her
hand 10 her ear the spectator
| could not hear word spoken
and scarcely "a movement was
perceptlble except the contraction and
expansion of the gentleman's arms and a
warm buzz of satisfaction and an upheayal
and downheval of the female ozoner's
| bosom, as if it was difficult to breath. The
choking sensation did not seem to be at all
Objectionable, as the young lady stood it
withouta whimper.
AT this juncture what do you think hap
pened? If any diffident girls are reading
this little tale of love, quit right here and
save your bushes. Why. the rude Young
man inclined his chin TO the base of that
beautiful, bewitching young neck and
catching one of the curls that her mamma
had twisted off the poker began chawing
away at 1t as if it was a veal outlet or a
warm 'gaifie from hot griddle. 1t was one
OF the luciest, sweetest little cuds of hair
one could pick up in Q days outing.
Did the young lady say "Hay there,
young man you are horrid, you are running
my frizzles" No, she didn't do ANYTHING
Of the kind but simply sat there like a lit
Tie ounce, while the Calf kept cropping the
hay off the buck of her neck, and she
actually seemed to like it.
Whether the curlets had been done up in
butter or some other kind of grease, it was
| hard to tell, but that they were baked over
| every morning nice and fresh and crisp
was quite certain, and all to allow this
young ozoner to make a meal off them
Ozoning cannot be said to be time-hon-
ored ard worthy custom, though it is prac-
ticad by gentlemen of refined tasteS with
